I don't know. Why don't you ask the near-majority of Congressmen who continue to passively if not actively support the one that already happened a year ago? Are they not getting lobbyists urging them to take it seriously and stop impeding the investigations? Or are the lobbyists just not...

I had no idea there was a Fat Albert movie. But you're probably on to something with the Enchanted comparison. That might be what got people to see it as a cliché premise; it was even set in New York just like The Smurfs was. But yeah I'm specifically talking about the wave (some would say...

Also Biden is no Abe Lincoln. I imagine he'd just let them secede peacefully and even try to ignore any acts of war they committed against us as long as possible. If anyone ever wondered "What if the south had seceded while Buchanan was still in office?" we might get to find out.

My point is that they've made themselves impossible to unseat, so any effort directed at downticket elections is just going to be wasted.

And this is the guy that Obama had planned to appoint to the Supreme Court. There are sitting members of Congress in the Republican Party right now who have made a bigger deal about this. ...How soon is Biden allowed to fire him?

You mean the people who are incapable of ever losing their jobs because the entire country has been gerrymandered into permanent redness?

You know what's the most insane thing about the first Sonic movie? They actually played the "Beloved cartoon character gets sucked into the REAL WORLD" premise (that people have somehow gotten into their heads is a cliché despite only ever happening in The Smurfs and that Rocky and Bullwinkle...

Thing is, when you're in a situation where you'll be vilified whether you do the right thing or not, a wise person would see it as a perfect excuse to do the right thing. Hedging your bets that sitting on your ass and hoping things magically get better will be better for your reputation is what...

Yeah, or, or, Kamala Harris would be motivated to step in and say "Uh, no, I'm in charge of the Senate, and all the powers you've been claiming to have all these years are stuff you pulled out of your ass and all the other Democrats were too much of a coward to call you on. Now sit down and shut...

That said, it does make me curious how he's going to fare when he inevitably runs in 2024 and the primary ballot is full of people like DeSantis, who are the closest thing he has to allies but are also even more hardcore anti-vax. Will he cave and pretend to agree with them, or press the issue...

I guarantee that the exact same people who booed him will insist to everyone who tries to bring it up afterward that, no, he never said that, what are you talking about you brainwashed libtard, did CNN tell you that?

I suppose the upside if he were voted out in favor of a Republican would be that we'd have to stop pretending we have a majority. Because it really does seem like as soon as we get even the slightest marginal victory in any way, people go "Yay, all problems are solved forever, I can stop caring...

I don't think the party can just kick people out like that. If they want to try to primary him, they're more than welcome.

What all do they spend those taxes on, then, if not improving people's standard of living? It's not even like they have a massively-overfunded military machine to dump it all into like the US does.

As I mentioned at the time, I got an Xbox 360 at a rummage sale back in the spring. Right now it's still in pieces all over the room because I thought I could maybe address the grinding noise the disc drive makes, but I ran out of ideas once I got it open and couldn't find any obvious sources of...

I wonder if the people who make these things actually buy into the nonsense themselves, or if they're purposely trying to poison their customers out of a sense that they deserve it. Because if they were simply grifters after some easy money, they could much more easily (and cheaply) make them...

In America, that would just be called "a regular Tuesday for 90% of Congress".

Metal Sonic having the classic Sonic uni-eye and someone actually commenting on how weird it looks would have the same energy as Dante with the mop on his head. I'm down.

Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. Probably was waiting until the news reached her that it is a scam, which is what piqued her interest.

I'm guessing that's the equivalent of a special election? A pop-up election to fill a sudden vacancy?
