PTSD is serious and difficult to live with and I feel sorry for anyone who has it. Not really something to joke about.

I would be freaked out too if I almost got assassinated. He is a human being.

I don't want him to be president. But that doesn't change my basic humanity for the victim of a crime.

It is so hard to win without Florida for Republicans. He could win PA, WI, GA. AZ, NV and still lose if he didn't win Florida.

But it's a moot point because Republicans don't lose FL outside of landslides anymore, happened for Obama 08 but not 2012 and the state has gotten redder since then.

So he doesn't want DC or PR statehood, giving federal representation to millions of otherwise disenfranchised US citizens because...he thinks they'll elect Democrats. Cool.

"The United States isn't sending their best. They're sending rapists, they're criminals..."

I paid $100 for a massive 1TB hard drive when they first came out years ago. Thought a TB was essentially unlimited and wasn't sure if it could ever be used.

What a crazy advancement to get to 8TB the size of your pinky nail.

I feel like this article gets written every 3 weeks.

Mods plz remove this post, it makes me feel insecure.

But either the government blockchain can get forked/modified by people with enough resources, in which case it's not reliable, or it is certifiably controlled by the government in which case there's no point to it being blockchain.

Turns out the one thing Blockchain is good at, building out decentralized strings of commonly agreed upon immutable transactions, is actually not that useful. For small items we need an "undo" button because people make sloppy mistakes or get scammed, for large items we want the government to act as enforcer of the property (house, dollars, car) in question so it doesn't actually help us to decentralize.

This is dumb but politically necessary. Big issue in Nevada, good signifier of who is "on the side of the working person."

But specifically making tips non-taxable encourages more employment to be tip-based.

Makes more sense to cut taxes for these same people by expanding the tax bracket that goes untaxed (currently first $11k).

It's funny that "enjoys ice cream" became a defining political trait for Biden. Like, yes he does, but basically everyone does.

Seriously, how does "mass deportation now" poll? Even the magic wand version that just magically knows who has legal documents and who doesn't without major disruption to those with legal status, that can't have more than 20%-30% approval right? I don't understand why this would be something they would make signs about.

Edit: well, I was off, the magic wand version gets 51% which at least makes some sense to have signs. Usually you'd have something more popular as a main signpost of your campaign but I guess it's not insane.

All of those except maybe "out of gas" were true when he was up by 5 points everywhere.

It's hurting in the US too. I am not a hard partisan but I would never buy a Tesla anymore because I'd be worried of being seen as making a political statement. I'm probably in the market for an electric vehicle in the next few years.

That would be a good House of Cards episode, not realistic in the slightest.

Polls in August never "spell doom" for anyone, but especially when the other candidate has only been in the race for 3 weeks. There is no certainty that the poll numbers will maintain as people learn more about the candidates.

Lemme Google the freezing temp of whatever explodey juice they think we all have.

Feels like people are arguing "Republicans HATE that tampons were provided in schools but actually it's good!" And like sure, but specifically the argument I've heard is that they were in the Boys bathrooms as well.

Like everything for Republicans recently, it's related to hating trans people.

Oh yeah paid NSFW subs that will definitely happen.
