Oh, and I just found out Tumblr also implemented blue checkmarks, but in an even sillier way: You can buy as many as you want, and it'll add them all after your username.

Trouble is, define "get caught." No one is guilty without trial, not even the President. Though I do think impeachments ought to be tried in the Supreme Court rather than Congress. That much should have been clear long ago.

The real reason career politicians are a thing is that their constituents have little recourse to replace them with a member of the same party (or another party with similar positions), no matter how epically bad they are at their jobs. Enact ranked-choice ballots in all 50 states and that...

This feels a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, but FurAffinity, of all places, has decided to get in on the mocking-Elon train and they've gone all in with it: This might be the fastest they've ever rolled out a feature.

Actually, I'm curious. Are they publishing all the numbers? I'd love to know how many second-choice votes they each got, how they corresponded to the first choices, etc.

Maybe, but it's probably unfounded. With barely half the Republicans voting for her—AND not even all of Begich's voters making her their second choice (otherwise she would have edged out Peltola, which I was worried might happen)—she must have been pretty unpopular. Also worth noting, as I said...

And it's not like anyone's gonna stop them, so...

You know, there's a certain irony in the fact that once the site goes under, 90% of the posts in this thread are just gonna be empty because the contents of those embedded tweets aren't actually being copied over.

That's a good comparison. At this point no one knows what exactly they're expecting to find there, or why it would matter, and no one seems to have a problem with that. Though if anything it's actually shot past it to being even stupider than the Hillary and Hunter witch hunts because they're...

Man, people are really hung up over the tax return thing. It's like both sides are run by people who skimmed a Wikipedia article about Al Capone and came away from it with a cargo-cult-esque idea that this is somehow going to be the Smoking Gun.

The referendum over Brexit was closer to the last referendum over Scottish independence than it is to the present day. Feel old yet?

No, I'm pretty sure he's a genuine Trump fanboy himself. He doesn't say it often, because that would mean taking the attention off himself, but he's said it enough.

I'm pretty sure it's Discord that would get in trouble for that. Unless it was being hosted literally on your server. I don't actually understand how Discord works.

I just realized, the best thing that could come of this is that he has to pull the plug on that tunnel nonsense he's been working on.

Maybe they'll start pushing for a new system that does away with runoffs. One way or another.

Just ask Donald Trump! He spent his whole life doing literally nothing BUT losing money, and still manages to pass himself off as rich enough that he just needs a little more to accomplish his goals, but don't worry, he's good for it, honest.

Just a reminder that all stock market activity is insider trading except the amateurs who know so little they might as well be playing the slots; it's just that only an unfortunate few ever get caught.

Probably Schumer.

It's the same bullcrap as Reagan's "government is the problem" spiel. So you want to become part of the problem, is what you're saying?

I'm just shocked it took this long to get to this point. Was anyone even in the pool for it taking more than a year? Everyone I know was making it sound like the whole country would collapse overnight.
