Yeah. Mackenzie Bezos inherited her fat stacks and she’s been dropping like a stone on the wealth rankings. Inherent in the state of being a billionaire is having more money than you could ever need and not using it to help others.

Reprieve found that only 23 of those killed had links to terror organisations.

There was a link. They were killed by one.

Press photography does not need to be flattering. It can also be framed to tell a story.

If it “works” it’ll be in being applied selectively. They can not apply it in red zip codes and apply it in blue ones, aided by whatever voter database Republicans build. Say some sort of grandfather clause where certain types of existing voters (like those whose grandfathers were all voters) didn’t need to reapply.

If anything, the more he leans on them the less they do his bidding. They’re all part of the same fascist project, but some of them want to do it the old way where they pretend to be serious people doing a job. Their words often end up as legal nonsense, but they’ve gone through the motions and formatted it as if they were professional. Trump showing up to stare them down is an insult to their pride.

One of the sources, who claims Banks tried to invite him along on one of these trips, told the Examiner, “I don’t know how he became the chief of the Border Patrol with his character. He’s going to third-world countries to take advantage of poor f------ women, which disgusts the hell out of me.”

This guy is so close to getting it.

Making matters more complicated, a fourth candidate, Cindy Burbank, filed to run at the last minute as a Democrat when she saw that Forbes was running. She said her goal is to beat him in the primary and then drop out and support Osborn in the general election, a move that could get her disqualified if the state’s Republican government believes she isn’t running in good faith.

This is the sort of thing you’d read in story satirizing politics. Guy enters primary fraudulently in order to receive votes from people so uninformed they don’t know who the candidates for the highest office are, woman joins to beat him with a clear statement of intentions in accordance with the goals of the party, and a politician from the opposing party will block the counter and not the actual fraudster.

Oops, you’re correct!

He desperately wants to be the Obama redux who shows he’s the bigger man by just forgiving all the crimes of his opponents. He dreams of an America where a black Muslim immigrant can share a Pepsi with the tatted up ICE agent in army surplus sent to deport his family.

That’s what it is. The A-Bomb or Atom Bomb was the type of nuclear weapon dropped on Japan. It’s a fusion weapon rather than the later fission weapons called H-Bombs.

Yeah, these are my supposedly the most political people around and yet few feel a compilation to join a flagship gathering of people from their party. There were a couple electeds at the last one that I only found out about after the fact. But only a couple in a very blue area.

Large protest gatherings are a demonstration that there are enough people out there who are also pissed off that a general strike could be feasible. They don’t make it happen, there’s still further steps, but you don’t get to the general strike in a country with so few politically inclined unions without the protests paving the way.

IIRC, there is no way to recall senators or representatives. Their election is specified in the Constitution and there’s no allowance for recall so even if states wanted to they couldn’t.

There were passengers in the car too! If this wasn’t in a legit paper I’d assume this was either madlibs or really bad AI.

The passengers flagged down a cop, so I assume they felt like they had a pretty solid explanation of how a quadruple amputee shot a guy, because otherwise they’re the number one suspects.

Seriously. Fetterman has brain damage and loves ICE, but what does the NM guy gain? He’s simultaneously voting against funding ICE unchanged and thinks it’s a great idea to put a violent thug at its head?

Not really. The vote was passing without the Democratic votes. It’s just regular shitty centrism.

Remember, the mask doesn’t prevent deep and sustained eye contact while they’re grabbing your junk. Make it weird.

Gorsuch pondered, too, whether voters would be able to recall their mail-in ballots if a scandal involving their candidate (like a “sexual escapade or colluding with a foreign power,” he said) broke out after Election Day.

It’s so weird and fucked up that he’s making this an argument against allowing postmarked ballots, which allow someone to wait until election day in case there are surprise scandals. He seems to think someone being able to recall a vote for someone who’s revealed to be unfit would be bad.

But instead of this hypothetical where a scandal comes out after polls close and some small number of people are able cancel votes sent from far away, he wants people to lock in their vote well before election day so that they can’t vote with the information available right up to the end like in person voters. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the next case he’ll be decrying early voting for doing just that.

He’s the only one with a shot of winning because he just won the primary and is now the only Democrat running. If Crockett won, she’d be the only one with a shot.

He certainly didn’t become a billionaire by charging them reasonable fees for the financial and computational infrastructure his company provided.
