Honestly, I did not see this coming. I thought 45 was going to pull a Kay Ivey on this one and stick to campaigning only. He seems to relish his rallies. On the other hand, Biden agreeing to this is equally as puzzling, as he seems to have everything to lose and nothing to gain by debating Trump.
Aside from the many legitimacy and ethics scandals that SCOTUS finds itself in these days (as a consequence of their own actions), nothing will come of this. It is just another straw on the pile, so to speak.
Honestly, I can't yet bring myself to call this a 'Stop the Steal' symbol. Flying...
It certainly is good for the secondary market and for e-waste reduction. I applaud this move. A lot of us don't have the cash to plop down on flagship devices every few years once the battery life starts to fade. We use our devices for as long as possible. I've replaced the battery in two...
Yup. I've been a member for nearly half my life up until this point, if you don't count my previous lurking prior to account creation. Nice to see this place still kicking!
Yes. Racist. There is nothing "accidental" about structural racism in Alabama. See our 1901 constitution. Until that is ripped out by the root, these kinds of affects are going to happen. It was the whole point.
Bump for this thread. Recently switched my Win7 rig over to Linux Mint and I'm quite pleased so far. It is polished and quite frankly just worked without having to do all the other tweaking typically required of the last few times I've tried various Linux OSes. Then again, my hardware is...
You can drive yourself crazy looking for any consistency or overall coherent philosophy amongst Republican positions. The intellectual (and I would argue, moral too..) core of the GOP has been AWOL for at least the past two decades. That being said, I can't disagree with this list.
This is way overdue. I'm honestly a bit aghast at how long the Trump admin was able to stall this once the returns were requested by the appropriate committees. It should've been a matter of black letter law that they be turned over.
Eh, I remain skeptical about that one. I'm sure more than a few liberals from CA can make Idaho a bit more purple, but in the end the conservatives from CA would just be adding to their already large majority in Boise.
Honey on cornbread? What? I've never heard of this. It must be something from those heathens that use sugar when making it.
Any true southerner would save the sugar for the sweet tea exclusively.
As a (Catholic) Christian and someone who leans to the left politically, I find it hard to disagree here. Touché. Anyone that has worked in retail/foodservice on a Sunday afternoon or Wedensday evening in evangelical-land can tell you many similar behavioral anecdotes. Sigh. Sometimes we are...
Sigh. I see this everyday. I come from the Yellowhammer state, which ranks dead last in terms of vaccination percentage and covid positivity. That same attitude has been our unofficial state motto for more than half a century - "We Shall Not Be Told." Yes, it is incredibly childish. Our...
I'm glad that ATOT has committed itself to long-term scientific research...on itself. As an ATOT "old fart" and member of the control group in this experiment, I'm glad this one turned out okay.
Carry on, y'all.
Good. While this step by the Biden administration is admirable, I for one look forward to the day when vaccination against Covid-19 is mandatory, the only exceptions being strictly medical. I am constantly aghast at how much our society has been collectively shooting itself in the foot during...
I certainly hope so. The last one was woefully inadequate considering the magnitude of the "shutdowns" and job furloughs/losses. We already needed a second round. If the Orange One decides to do so because he believes that it will help his reelection chances, so be it. At this point, a...
Wow, it has been a long time since "the good ole days" here. Many of us lurked for quite some time before joining, so going back to that is just staying true to form. I still build PCs, but nowadays its because I'm cheap instead of wanting to be on the bleeding edge of performance for gaming...
This. Deep red states like mine never miss an opportunity to punish women. It is quite literally dangerous to be pregnant down here. With today's SCOTUS ruling on gerrymandering, expect the situation to get much worse the next time maps are redrawn.
Hey! I was gonna fix that up one day!
/s
On a more serious note, we really do top notch work manufacturing autos down here. In fact, many of those listed companies are expanding their factories down here.
Between Citizens' United, Shelby County v. Holder, and this gerrymandering ruling, I think that we can safely put aside any notion that the US is a democracy. We had a good run.
On second thought, this might be more affordable and convenient than ever! The local hospital is running a special for the 4th of July - 50% off all amputations with code: heyyallwatchthis!
(stolen from elsewhere...)
As much as I look forward to Mueller's long-overdue testimony, I feel as though I need to temper my expectations. That report would've been a bombshell for literally any other administration. Mueller won't save us from The Orange One. What the Democrats (and whatever principled Republicans...
Good for her. Trump's response is true to form, as it demonstrates some of the very behavior she objects to. Trump himself is the only one disrespecting the office.
Its fiber arts in general. A lot of them also crochet or cross-stitch. Never underestimate the determination of somebody with the willingness to stab something hundreds to thousands of times just to create a neat patturn.
Eh, I kinda disagree here. With Universities/CCs shifting much of their teaching loads to adjuncts - who are often terribly underpaid without job security or basic benefits, it isn't nearly as attractive as it used to be.
We've been "at war" for so long that we hardly know what peace is by comparison, especially since none of it is currently formally declared by Congress. The proposal is interesting on its face, but the devil is in the details. For this to work, I believe that Congress would have to reassert...
You can't really avoid it with all the people that only get their news from Fox. Next time you are in a waiting room for a doctor or auto mechanic, you can bet the TV will be tuned in to that drivel.
There are many in AL that think he's done a great job and are proud that they are finally represented by a decent person in DC for once in their lifetimes. However, don't underestimate the power of straight-ticket voting here. It likely won't matter how Senator Jones has performed in DC, so...
I thought that there was a chance that he'd finally see the light, either metaphorically or literally, after his 2017 loss. Another candidacy by this pretentious pedophile is exactly what my state DOESN'T need, win or lose.
He was already removed from office TWICE for not following the very...
