Three so far, and I’m really lucky to still have a colon. Check your crack, people.

So they recognize that people hate their printers.

That decision is likely to be appealed by the state, which argued that Cox does not meet the criteria for a medical exception.

Great, hold it up in the appeals courts to get the stupid outcome you want regardless of whether you win the appeal, the State. This is the definition of abusing the judicial system.

Yes, that is what the article says. I don’t think that it opens any window any further than its already been opened by the RICO charges themselves, again, because a GA RICO conviction essentially requires a prison sentence. We knew what the intended endgame was the moment the charges were filed. These emails reveal nothing more.

The word “predict” in that headline is doing a ton of heavy lifting.

And of course they want prison sentences, hence the RICO charges. Prison is almost a foregone conclusion on a guilty verdict for a GA RICO case.

She’s also laying the groundwork for splitting the party, with her suggesting she could make a third party run for 2024. I was thinking last night that if she was to do that, and get Chris Christie to be the VP pick, that could actually add a lot of stability to the political landscape. Would they win? Probably not, but it would take a lot of wind out of the sails of the fascists, and they wouldn’t win, either. But it would give today’s Republican voters who still hold dear the core principles of democracy a place to not feel politically homeless.

If the goal is preventing an openly fascist American government, Liz Cheney must run.

If you’re always “joking,” you’re never joking.

We got literally the cheapest one off Amazon for like $40, and it’s brilliant.

Oh who did a video on that? I forget. Anyway, what the experimentation showed was that it was only really useful in cutting the bitterness in really bad coffee (as you described), and that the amount of salt to add to a single cup was something like three or four grains of table salt.

Burr grinder 4 lyfe.

Bernie Sanders: “So you’re saying there’s a chance?”

Alcohol here, the word you’re looking for is Armalite.

You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, but now – Book on a Crook.

Redistricting in 2022 turned CA-20 from strong blue to strong red, so it’s unlikely that a Democrat will fill the seat. But - and I never thought I would say this - thank you, Kevin McCarthy, for further threatening the American Fascist majority in the House.

A subsidy is a direct or indirect payment to individuals or firms, usually in the form of a cash payment from the government or a targeted tax cut.

I would say that a government guaranteed price floor would count as a subsidy, especially on a luxury/vice product like tobacco.

He’s right. I should have built my own energy production infrastructure, and gotten some of my own massive government subsidies in order to compete with well-entrenched oil companies.

They also said he had taken “a small amount of psilocybin,” which is found in mushrooms, two days prior to the flight.

Not that that necessarily changes the “that’s not how any of that works” part, but it wasn’t “a week or so.”

The right wing in America has been sliding further right for a long time, and tending to drag the left along with it. (Nobody is under the impression that the US “left” isn’t actually center-right.) In the last decade, that rightward silde has accelerated. Trump, being the presumptive Republican nominee for president, is the “best” that the lunatic far right - not America - can push forward.

The Democratic party, representing the left center-right, is no longer allowing itself to be dragged further right. And there remains a fairly large proportion of people who still call themselves Republicans who oppose the burgeoning fascism. Those are the people who feel politically homeless right now; they just need someplace to go and someone to vote for. Liz Cheney is floating a third party run, and I think she’s easily able to consolidate “sane conservative” support.

I was predicting that the Republican party would split back in 2015. I had no idea they would drag on like this for so long.

It literally doesn’t work that way. Wait, I got another one - BSOD is a problem with the hardware, not with Windows.

It may have seemed like that, but killing explorer.exe doesn’t cause data loss. None of the running applications are spawned by explorer, you just use it to launch them as separate processes.
