I can't imagine there's not already a court ready to slap them with an injunction on the grounds that a "foreign invasion" is not a "domestic insurrection".

I don't disagree, but are they acting like they think they'll never be out of power again?

I intentionally misspelled Richard Pryor's name, as a joke response to him saying George Carling instead of George Carlin.

Wanted to make sure the joke didn't die in case he saw the mistake and edited it. 😂

Okay, so not that I think cops deserve fairness, but in fairness...

If she had an extremely strong devotion to her community and a sense of duty to those people, I could see how that would add a layer of grief and guilt on top of her son being an attempted mass murderer.

But given that her son had access to at least one of her weapons, I'm not certain that she's any different from the rest of the pro-gun-toting rules-don't-apply-to-us that most of the "blue lives" are.

I'm out of thoughts and prayers. How about some jokes or a riddle?... George Carling was the greatest!

Not as good as Richard Prior!

Which is weird, given that he's already ignoring the Constitution with regards to due process, that he wouldn't just ignore it even more regarding pardons.

Because most of us aren’t here to be Democrats, we’re here to make the country a better place and some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

Alternatively, "because the Democratic leadership has consistently shown its failure to meet the moment and that fresh voices are needed. Furthermore, the leadership is failing to advocate for policies that have widespread support among Americans such as forcing the wealthy to pay what they owe in taxes and healthcare for all regardless of income level. Also y'all just too damn old."

Depends on how you define "predicted".

If you meant "made the most logical guess using all available data" then no, he didn't do that.

But if you meant "pulled an impossible sales number out of a ketamine-laced shit from his lumpy asshole that wildly overestimated how popular he and his 'truck' are" then I'd say you're correct!

It would absolutely not surprise me if Teslas calculate miles driven via GPS instead of tire rotation or some other mechanical means.

It's the kind of "reinventing the wheel, only worse and more expensive" that Musk would do.

Given his track record with real rockets and real rocket scientists, I would consider it a win for him to make it off the launchpad and back in one piece. 😂

No, he cares for Twitter.

SpaceX lets him pretend he's some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

That's why he "sold" Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can't be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

It's been a minute, but off the top of my head:

• The story was ass.
• Not enough content for a "live service" game.
• Enemy levels scaled heavily with your gear level, so better gear didn't make you feel any more powerful.
• The stats system for the gear was trash. Like, equipping one piece of high level gear and then keeping your starting gear for everything else was legitimately better than trying to get BiS for all of your gear.
• Gear had randomly generated buffs, and those might buff other gear. But sometimes it would you would get a drop for something your class could equip (not every class could use every weapon, for example) but with buffs to a weapon your class couldn't use.
• For a game that was essentially "be Iron Man" they included an overheat mechanic so you couldn't just fly wherever you wanted.

Anthem was a really great idea for a game that had an absolutely terrible execution.

Actually no. Pardons cannot cover future actions.

Also, as long as the crime happens outside of DC, the pardon wouldn't be able to prevent charges from being filed at the state level.

The Seditious Six: "Hold our beer. In Beerbro's case, hold the keg. And in Token's case, hold his pube-covered Diet Coke."

It was 19 years, and it was a letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison.

The TL; DR of it is, Jefferson used the best actuarial data he had (which we now know is flawed, but his point still remains) and determined that every 19 years, the voting electorate would be made up of voters fewer than 50% of which would have been old enough to vote for the laws in effect. In other words, more than half of voters (aka adults) would be subject to laws they would not have been old enough to vote for at the time they were passed.

His reasoning therefore was to basically "redo" government every 19 years, so that at no point could anyone be subject to a law they didn't have a say in voting for.

"Someone asked me to use words they wanted to refer to themselves so I just had to vote fascist! ...I feel bullied, really."

I can't wait for this lawsuit to lower the price of eggs!

According to wiki, yes.

Tesla could literally never sell another car again, and it wouldn't matter as long as people continue to buy the stock.

It's been wildly over priced for a very long time, so clearly the people who are keeping it afloat aren't interested in whether the company is actually profitable or not.

What *an hero.
