  1. Such bullshit ... So they're just going to toss out 60,000 votes by voters with "allegedly incomplete registrations" unless they fix their ballots within 15 days?
  2. China announces 34% tariff on all US products, and this is going about as well as we all expected ...
  3. No you wouldn't - not if she ended up like Kristy ... (And fuck Ben Stein too.)
  4. You ever wonder how much better a place the U.S. would be if the News Corp Building (and Rupert and Roger) had been blown up on 9/11 instead of the WTC?
  5. GIGO. The problem is the target - saying that "eliminating the trade deficit" = "an even playing field." That's just a gross oversimplification.
  6. Any bets on how many of the folks at the event were heavily invested in inverse leveraged ETFs and shorts yesterday? I'm going with 100%. Maybe 110% ... whatever it takes ...
  7. Every person with a shred of math / economic sense after reading the admin's explanation:
  8. I would love to believe, but as Red once said, "Hope is a dangerous thing." Unless they're going to drag Beto out there for run #13, it feels like it's time for some folks to get some name recognition in preparation for the 2026 elections. Honestly, the only folks on the bench that I'd be excited about in statewide elections at this point are Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico and maybe Lizzie Fletcher. Are there any up-and-coming folks in Texas politics, or is the bench as barren as it seems?
  9. It really feels like he's flushing the global economy and the goodwill the U.S. has built up over the last 80 years down the toilet just so he can make the whole world watch him babbling for a fucking hour. Good job, America - who can have foreseen this after watching this narcissistic fuck treat the pandemic like his own shitty reality show last time.
  10. Jamelle strikes me as someone that hasn't read any of the Supreme Court's recent case law - i mean, I'm pretty sure "Nihilistic Textualism" is the name of Alito and Clarence's garage band - it's their written rationalization for what is ultimately just Calvinball.
  11. If the Dems were smart, they'd be pushing the Supreme Court to consider this in the run-up for the 2028 election. I know that the SC would say that the issue isn't ripe, but there needs to be existing political pressure in place to prevent Roberts and Co. from pulling the same old "Aw shucks, we just can't rule on this so close to the election, so maybe next time ..." bullshit.
  12. Here you go - in a nutshell, ol' Keith was using the "We're not Nazis, you're nazis ..." defense. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/01/capitol-hill-hearing-biden-censorship-trump
