Just have the Lorax settle this

"We're gonna have a little bit of a dialogue of what racist things that Charlie Kirk said."

"I don't know anything about that,"

Not much of a dialogue lol

Only if freedom also means submitting your identification for validation in order to browse porn.

I thought the phone was a knife, cause that would have also been reasonable.

I am not surprised by this. Given his track record of surrounding himself with Yes-men, this will more than likely be a bad thing. With the possible silver lining of all that campaign money being wasted on legal defense fees, might just be enough to hurt his reelection chances.

But my honest question is, does this not normally happen when a candidate becomes the presumptive nominee?

I'm still not convinced that's not what the headline says.

Do deliberately vague headlines drive clicks?

From the article, the cop laments that telecoms are no longer handing over IP addresses when requested. Now police are being forced to obtain search warrants, like they would need to in order to tap your phone or read your mail. This seems like a consistent application of privacy law and a safeguard against law enforcement abuse of power. Seems like an absolute win to me.

If Moto's experience is the same as what I've seen, choosing delivery over purchasing in person doesn't just add a delivery charge, but also increases prices across the board, and then adds a service charge for delivery.

I suppose the argument for groceries is that an employee's time is spent collecting the goods before the delivery method. But in a fast food scenario where everything is made to order, regardless of dine-in, dine-out, drive-thru, or delivery, an increased price point across the board, before the delivery surcharge, is tough to accept. Though I understand that if restaurants aren't managing their own deliveries, they are often embedding third-party delivery app charges in their prices.

All of that to say, while I understand the arguments, I also know there's profit being made at each step, and they can only keep gouging for so long before the whole house of cards comes crumbling down.

This sort of fatalistic, take what you are given, attitude is astounding to me.

Calling for anyone better than who is being offered is hugely different than asking for the most qualified or capable individual to do the job. On some metric I'm sure there's a "best" candidate out of all Americans, but my complaint is about the ocean of potential candidates between "best" and what we've got.

And I get the "have a beer with" factor, I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. Being likeable as a head of state can be a significant advantage when dealing with foreign leaders, international press, or promoting domestic policy.

But these men are dinosaurs. If Trump is sworn in, he'll be older than Reagan was when he left office. And Biden is already three years older than that. How many altered diary entries are we going to hear about after they leave office, because they'll have been dealing with alzheimer's or dementia while in office too?

No they don't. How is this octogenarian the best option out of 340 million Americans to beat a septuagenarian with four criminal indictments that amount to over 90 felony charges?

massive oversteps and oversights.

It's ok, you won't be needing those pesky privacy rights anyways.

Looks like average British man to me. Guess all the Brits are addicts.

Seems weird to seize our own arms shipments though, assuming "we" are American, German, British, French, Australian, Canadian, etc...

former leader. She's grandma with a seat in Congress now, but the press won't move on, especially if she's saying Trump level shit like this.

And then they'll pretend like they didn't support him all along. That he was a "fringe" candidate that somehow won the nomination and presidency, but was not a true Republican...

I'm not sure if Mitch is looking smug here, honestly just looks blank
