but if you vote for Biden you are a genocide supporter.

Every time I hear this I have to do some math, play a word puzzle, or some other mental exercise to make sure I don't catch The Stupid. If casting a vote for Biden equals support for genocide, then anything anyone in a civilized society does could be said to be the same. Vote for anyone? The joke's on you, genocide supporter, you helped a different genocide supporter get elected. Do you go to work? You failed again; You're making someone else money so they can vote for a genocide supporter. Do you pay Taxes, you genocide supporterfunder?

Protest votes are for the primary; go ahead and vote for Gandhi McJesus then. The general is the team play. And if you don't vote for the lesser of two evils you're helping the larger evil get elected, you genocide supporter, it just lets you smugly deflect blame.

FTA: declaring that she remains personally opposed but does not “judge anyone for being pro-choice.”

Which to me is wishy-washy bullshit for "I'll say anything to get elected but I prefer to say nothing." Good luck trying to be pro-choice when she pushes for a nationwide ban.

Trump and his lawyers are probably trying to figure out how to get all his cases delayed indefinitely because of all his other cases. Can't be here, need to be in FL/Can't be here, need to be in GA/Can't be here, need to be in DC/Can't be here, need to be in NY and start back over with Florida... and at every step argue about how the charges are too old to worry about because of all of the delays. The lawyers will try to prop each case against the others, force them all to declare schedules in advance, and any delay in one pushes them all back.

I skimmed it and tend to agree. It's just a list of complaints, a non-critical attempt at a technical clarification of each complaint, and no analysis beyond "this user says this sucks, here's a possible explanation why it sucks". The multiple references to a stock pump towards the end and the financial disclaimer at the bottom makes me think this is TSLAQ fodder.

She’s not a republican, but she was doing mental gymnastics to justify not voting democrat.

I hate to break it to you but she's a republican already.

They're training an internal AI on documents in OneDrive, I bet.

The good news is that the GOP has recently shown us it's totally OK to disregard a politically motivated bad-faith congressional subpoena.

So many dogwhistles in that screed. "abortion industry","Wealthy", "out-of-state", "special interests", "radical", "abortion on demand".

"not equals". It's a matter of taste. Some people prefer != instead. But you get the point. Sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians does not equate to support for Hamas.

Pro-Palestinians <> pro-Hamas

I hope the budget gets past Johnson's porn filter.

The second amendment is not clear and has been given the broadest possible interpretation. Are you a member of a well-regulated militia?

It doesn't matter. If the SC upholds the law (which is unlikely) the gun lobby will simply find someone more acceptable, and under slightly different circumstances, and bring up another challenge. They'll keep going after gun laws the way the anti-choice side relentlessly attacked Roe.

Yes, that's probably it, but also I think unions have to negotiate any change to the contract collectively. Even giving a union member more money is breach of contract. Starbucks would be exposed to union action if they did so. Of course, this depends on how the contract is written. This certainly seems anti-union but it's also a smartass CYA on behalf of Starbucks. The union will raise hell immediately as they should.

And the law that was written was very carefully drafted to affect only Disney. DeSantis wouldn't want to piss off The Villages.

Trump is getting his delay one way or another. Cannon is so deep in his pocket that even in her worse-case scenario, her recusal or removal, would start everything over at 0.

If Jack Smith brings a viable example of bias before them one more time, it’s third strike, and she’s out.

This is the first time I've heard of this.

...and sideloading. That's a thing on Android, right? Can't Epic just make their own store for Android anyway?

This sounds a lot like "the civil war was about states' rights" but I'll bite. If the blindingly obvious religious lines are wrong and this is about that land... why?
