Same as you. I also fully expected to be overweight. Sort of still do expect that at some point.

He did it for a number of good reasons, mainly to leave the opportunity to continue the investigation later. Not a likely outcome at any point, but if they fire him they can also get rid of the case in ways they can’t if he resigns.

Yes the Republicans suppressed the vote. But it was nowhere near the 20 million votes Democrats gave to Biden but not Harris. Trump would have won without suppression this time. There are just that many MAGA voters.

Not sure if this is serious or sarcastic, but I do think what Smith did was meaningful.

I was under the impression the OLC interprets things heavily in favor of the President (the position not a particular person) pretty consistently.

That excludes most of us. For example I’m a pricing analyst. Doubt they’d even need me, let alone all the people working retail or customer service positions.

Yeah most of the auto mechanics probably voted for Trump, but a lot didn’t. We have a ton of people working in restaurants, driving for Lyft, etc.

Most people are fucked.

This is what so many don’t understand. Other countries don’t want us. Why would they?

What a wonderful comment.

FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

I thought we called them communities, but honestly I like sub-lem better. Let’s switch if we haven’t already.

Girls say they won’t let guys smash like they used to also. Fuck it. Pour on the punishments at this point. The more the better. Boomers can pay, young bros can pay. We’re all going to suffer once those tariffs start. Let’s channel that frustration.

They forget the protections society offers them.

Doesn’t make you dumb, but it could make you seem dumb like pronouncing the “L” in salmon.

Yeah but there are also norms.

Could you say “Merry Birthday!” Sure. Should you though?

Same thing here. It works. It just feels off.

Can’t believe you held it down. I did it with chocolate milk and barfed it all out like 15 min later. Still cold. Still tasted like chocolate milk. I’m confident it was the least unpleasant puking experience of my entire life including the parts that haven’t happened yet.

the next four years

We really may have just voted for the last time. I’ll be thrilled if this only sucks for the next 4 years.

Really though we’re fucked for the next 30-40 years based on the Supreme Court alone. Expecting Roberts to retire while Trump can name a younger, more bat-shit replacement. Possibly the same for Thomas and Alito.

I 100% agree except why is it that “Democrats dropped the ball”?

Democrats aren’t voting for a fascist. Their politicians are not enabling a fascist. The Democratic voting base hasn’t been bamboozled by 30+ years of obvious propaganda pretending to be news.

Christians dropped the ball. Conservative immigrants dropped the ball. Legit news media dropped the ball. Large corporations and wealthy individuals dropped the ball… on purpose.

Democrats work on harm reduction because we don’t give them enough votes to make meaningful changes. A 1 or 2 vote margin isn’t enough to vote around the moles like Manchin and Sinema.

Whistlin Diesel broke his truck waaaayy sooner than expected because of the uni-body.

May need it to start Wednesday and go through inauguration.

As an office worker I sometimes wonder if welding would have been a better path. Honestly don’t know. Depends on the person.

He sort of did that to his own father with the family business.
