History will show that Biden’s decision to run again, along with RBG’s decision to not retire while she could be replaced with someone with a similar ideology, were the two key inflection points that enabled this second Trump administration to happen. You could even argue that RBG’s situation was worse, because the implications of that choice will last far longer.

The old guard needs to get out of thr way and let the younger generation ru the country.

Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist, certainly cares. This gets his name into the news…

Oh, there are plenty of people like this in the US. A lot of other people who wish they were.

I would listen, if anyone is an expert at losing big national elections, it’s Hillary Clinton…

Massive security bunker that the next President will never use because it’s probably crawling with Russian listening devices

Not even the first time it has happened in the US, Indiana tried to redefine pi in 1897

Except the last guy who hasnt decided yet was one of the GOPers who lost his primary. He might be feeling spicy and decide to vote against it.

You’re right that nornally, these sorts of announcements are “hall passes” where the party gives certain members permission to appear moderate in order to win elections, while still getting their agenda passes. This feels different, somehow, engineered so that Cassidy takes the brunt of GOP rage over it, since he’s not on the ballot anymore.

Edit: even though this aged like milk, I said what I said…

“In addition, when government data are not reliable, it can hinder the public’s trust in government,” the report stated.

Theat was the whole point, though. If enough voters don’t trust government, they will give Republicans permission to shrink it so small they can drown it in the bathtub.

Instead of being a death notice it’s a pre-death notice, if you will.

I prefer to say that he is fillibustering his own obituary…

Someone’s getting fired over this.

Not for the “mistake”, but for actually admitting it…

The Baileys must have told him they like El-Sayed…

He doesn’t file lawsuits to actually win them, he files them as intimidation. He expects the other side to cave, and to settle. I tried to search for lawsuit Trump actually won on their merits, without a negotiated settlement, and could only find one that was a default judgement (so the other side didn’t even show up).

There’s still a .su domain?

But more recently, the term has been used by conservative groups and cryptocurrency firms that claim they are victims. Trump signed an executive order a year ago designed to punish banks for restricting services to customers based on their political or religious beliefs.

I’m surprised no crypto has claimed to be a religion yet.

AI won’t replace mathematicians. But AI may replace their grad students, when the Computer Science department shows how much more “work” the Al can do and steals funding from the Mathematics department.

Then, when the current Math faculty retires, there won’t be any new Mathematicians to take their place.

Certain employer-sponsored visas have requirements that the job be posted for a period of time to see if any US applicants apply. This is supposed to make sure the foreign worker isn’t “taking a job away” from a similarly qualified American.

Companies do prefer to hire foreign nationals for these jobs, though, because they typically take less pay, and their US work authorization is tied to their employment, so that makes it much harder for them to change jobs in the US without leaving the country first. So while they are supposed to “post the job” for Americans to apply, they will do the bare minimum to post it, and make sure the requirements are written so that no one other than a foreign worker would bother applying.

Flowery prose about the billions in business deals he engineered, not one word about how mid the team has been. But it could be worse, they could be the Jets!

I bet they asked the AI to help them design the sandbox to keep the AI h4x0rs contained

The economists agreed the economy was headed in the right direction as a whole, but those are the bottom weren’t seeing it. They vote, too, and will abandon candidates they think aren’t listening.

It’s rather telling that amid all this controversy over the “DNC Autopsy”, the key point which the DNC seems to be ignoring is the fact that the political consultants that ran it were all well off, and didn’t see the same day-to-day pain that most people did. There is a reason why the term K-shaped economy is so popular.

And yes, Trump won and he has made things so much worse. But was hard in 2024 to vote for “more of the same” when your situation has gotten worse.
