Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

Is keeping a grand jury after hours to finish up a thing that happens? Why wouldn’t they just adjourn until tomorrow?

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

I guess we'll have to see https://twitter.com/AntiToxicPeople/status/1691140054264295425 I presume at most this means these are the charges the grand jury will be asked to vote on? Edit: It looks like the tweet has been deleted, which could mean a few different things, but here's a screenshot: Georg...

Re: Roe v Wade has been overturned. How do you feel about that?

I thought she was a presumtive US Senate candidate? :upsidedown:

By way of contrast, my precinct had no hot issues on the ballot yesterday (and only one issue of any temperature), and when I fed mine into the machine at 12:45pm, it informed me I was #20 for the day.

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

Understood, but at the same time, that's a pretty major handicap when your opponents are chaos agents who don't care about rules or norms. One of my frustrations has been that the Michigan triumvirate (Gov. Whitmer, Sec. State Benson, and Atty General Nessel) have frequently stated that "democr...

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

My reaction is a combination of "Oh thank God they're finally getting serious" and "too little too late." Mostly the former.

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions

Several people have drawn attention to the fact that in a weekend post, Trump complained about being indicted under the insurrection act in the documents case. In fact he was indicted under the *espionage* act, and he edited the post to say so shortly thereafter. But that little slipup most likely m...

Re: The much too early 2024 election thread

It's a "good" conspiracy theory as far as such things go, because it has enough of a kernel of truth to sound halfway plausible. There's no question that our drinking water, and the environment in general, is full of man-made chemicals that mimic sex hormones and mess with our biochemistry...

Re: Elon's Twitter

Does this mean you've successfully blocked all data-harvesting, so they're just serving up generic ads? I very much doubt that, but it's possible I've limited how much of it they use for building my timeline. Yay? Also, what is a/s/l? When I tried looking it up, it seems to mean American Sign Langu...

Re: Movies we are looking forward to seeing

It'll probably be very good, but honestly my knee-jerk reaction is that the absolute last thing the world needs right now is to give an insurgent imperialist the antihero treatment.

Speaking of Meta, for all the (highly credible) talk about the shady tricks they pull to hoover up as much of your personal data as they can get, based on the suggested posts it shows me, Facebook believes I'm really into classic cars, car repair, country living, and farming.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)

It can't possibly be legal to veto individual characters in order to fundamentally alter a bill's semantic meaning though, right? I mean, what if you cross out everything except G-O-V-E-R-N-O-R---G-E-T-S---T-H-E---M-O-N-E-Y?
