  1. So he gave a pardon in return for a political favor (convention speech)? Sounds very legal and very cool.
  2. Interesting that at a supposed BLM protest, there are (1) suspiciously few black people and (2)someone front and center at the "protest" is wearing a MAGA hat.
  3. Yes.
  4. Sort of. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays Social Security benefits to people who are disabled if they worked for long enough and paid enough money into Social Security to qualify. Supplemental Security income (SSI) is disability payments to people who have not paid enough into Social Security to qualify for SSDI and comes out of general funds.
  5. He's also creating real doubt on the safety of a real vaccine when it could be administered in 2021, in the minds of reasonable people, not just anti-vaxxers, by rushing something through that may not be safe or effective. It's almost like he's trying to prolong the pandemic.
  6. Your friends are either lying to you or they are breaking federal law.
  7. They're also not at all concerned about protecting themselves from neo-Nazis or the trumpy lunatics who shot up a synagogue and a Walmart.
  8. I gave up on watching. Not enough alcohol in the world for this. But it felt like there had to be some secret message being emitted, that turned people who watched into mindless zombies. Because what in the actual fuck is this? How do people believe any of this? How does anyone with an IQ above -2 think anything being uttered tonight makes any sense or is not a complete lie?
  9. Didn't realize that (or at least that some are both, including apparently the speaker, some are just dentists). Thanks. In any event, it's telling that the GOP couldn't find a physician specializing in, say, epidemiology or pulmonology, to talk as an "expert" about a pandemic, but instead a physician who wouldn't ever be caring for patients with Covid, unless purely by accident.
  10. So they're so called "physician" "expert," who they're touting as a "surgeon" is actually a dentist. WTF
  11. It's because no one is truly independent now. The "independents" are about 40% death cult members, consistent with those numbers.
  12. I get it. But I’m sick of an emphasis on trying to keep people from getting shot and killed as opposed to trying to keep police from shooting and killing people. Also, if your takeaway from Queen & Slim is that had the protagonists acted differently there would have been a different outcome, you watched a different movie than I did. Edit bc you’re isn’t your.
  13. If the police are going to release histories of the unarmed people they shoot, they need to start releasing their own histories including all excessive force complaints filed against them as well as all allegations of domestic violence.
  14. Sadly, Trump Stephen Miller, is a racism savant, and has taught us way too many racial slurs and symbols over the last four years.
  15. It wasn’t “some Chinese person,” it was George Conway.
  16. WTF? They are awful people. I feel terribly for all 4 of their kids growing up in that toxic household, raised by two horrible human beings. But what's with the racial slur?
  17. And now he's just lying about state election law.
  18. Didn't they also raise $64 million last week in the two days after Harris was announced as the running mate. But over $134 Million in 2 weeks- no enthusiasm. s/ GR Horn.
  19. 100x this. Which is what scares me most about the upcoming election. They aren't even pretending to court votes from outside their cult. They are unwatchable and vile at this point to anyone outside the cult. They know the people's preference doesn't actually matter.
  20. This should get him a spot at the RNC convention.
  21. And after getting away with it in 2016, and receiving confirmation that there will be no consequences for stealing an election, I'm sadly sure they're going to do it again.
  22. I used to always watch both conventions, and was interested in hearing what the Republicans said, even at times (looking at you 2004 and 2008) when I was very firmly on the Dem side of things. And I don't want to just listen to what the Dems say. But I can't fathom spending 4 nights listening to angry white people raging about their grievances, fear mongering, and lying, with some Diamond and Silk and Tim Scott thrown in a bad attempt to provide cover for being the party of old white people.
