Joe Biden can do whatever he wants and it doesn't matter because then Trump will do whatever he wants. He can do away with pardons and then Trump can decree that they exist again. There's nothing left to stop him. Buckle up.

What you're missing here is that he has an openly corrupt supreme court behind him and everyone who was willing to tell him no is long gone. We'll see how it plays out but it's going to be hard to come back from this, and the Democrats are going to have to start paying attention and actually doing what voters want or there's no hope for them.

I didn't read that as OP saying they believed that will work, I read it as saying the majority of Americans (or at least the majority of Americans who bothered voting) believed that.

I was onboard with her but I honestly felt icky every time the Biden administration released a new statement about how good the economy is. How out of touch do you have to be to think the economy is good? Republicans have no intention of fixing that but at least they're smart enough to see that people feel crushed in this economy and pander to it. And apparently that was a much bigger issue than abortion, which shocked me at first but as it settles I see that my fear as a woman pales in comparison to America's fear of a woman and America's struggling financial situation.

Are most mail in ballots democrat this year? I thought republicans were pushing that more with their base. But I don't know if they actually did it or if they voted more in person.

Even that might be wrong because at least some of those mothers are afraid to voice their real views. So I agree with you but I still think it might be skewed too heavily in Trump's favor.

It can be physically and emotionally unsafe to disclose how you voted. Its gross for media to try to blame people for doing their part but doing it safely instead of blaming the terrorists who makes people afraid to tell the truth.

I'm sure the sentence for everything Musk has done has to be far more than a month (the election stuff aside, he has some shady financial stuff surrounding the purchase of Twitter and probably Tesla stock, etc). They need to lock him up as long as they would lock up the rest of us if we did that.

This is not far from Yellowstone so there will be grizzlies in that area. I could absolutely see someone finding this scene and getting panicked and running to find a cell signal instead of performing forensic analysis of the scene. But yeah the cops weren't the ones saying it was a bear, they got it at least.

Why am I not surprised? At this point I think the Aurora PD is pretty infamous but damn they're not even going to make an attempt at pretending not to be an arm of a fascist movement.

Does having a cat count as being in a relationship? Because I feel like it should. I used to have a tuxedo cat who I actually got married to all the time. I couldn't help it, he was all dapper.
