I bet. I just get annoyed by people complaining that others are doing the same thing they are doing... "I went to get Chicken and there wasn't any! They took it all". That's a real comment I saw on social media. Yes.. it's called shopping. Stores stock shelves and people buy it. Some people got to the chicken before you did. That's allowed. They didn't do anything wrong.

It’s all bullshit. But the cats out of the bag and too many super rich people are involved for it to go away. No way in hell they lose out.

so that way nobody has to testify? Because he surely doesn't give a shit about their well being.

The Detroit area was always going to be on the line between freezing so getting a precise prediction was going to be difficult, especially when you have a viewing area that covers Northern Macomb County down to Monroe County west to Livingston. I'd rather they say 12 and we get 7 than to say we'll get 7 and end up with 12. I'm amazed that they can even predict 5 days out that we'll get a storm when nothing is on the radar yet. That's advanced technology. We're spoiled that it's an issue that it's off by a few inches. My dad's theory was to watch WGN and he'd say "What they got today we'll get tomorrow" He also liked that they "showed more killings. Coleman Young made them stop showing them here"

I wonder if there's a significant % of non voters in "decided" states that would be more likely to vote in a popular vote election?

and the people at Kroger complaining that there's too many other people at Kroger....

Durability is definitely something we should give credit for. It's not always luck.

the "black woman" thing gave them the excuse they needed to oppose it while pretending to be "reasonable".

My Peeve is related. We're expectingbig snow. So people that go grocery shopping later in the week decide to go Monday or Tuesday. When that happens things are more crowded and shelves are empty. Then people freak out and call them idiots for "hoarding". It's not that. People are just shopping. It's not ridiculous. People aren't being crazy. they'd just rather not go out and shop later in the week so they go earlier. When are people allowed to shop and when are they not? If 50 loaves of bread are on the shelf and 40 people take those, who is the hoarder?

yes still leader but they no longer have 50 D votes for stuff. No provisions for remote voting in the Senate.

So the Dems have no majority because of the NM Senator's stroke.

I think Trump just shit Graham out of his rectum tonight.

And even in important stuff it’s like…”wait? Free stuff?” Yes I know there’s other issues at play and debt considerations but nobody in Washington cares about the debt so I would rather that money go to people directly rather than a corporation or another bomber or aircraft carrier. trickle down is a fraud.

what do you mean by "report"? Just because there's two sides to a point doesn't make one of them valid. People think the earth is flat. They're nuts.

nah....it's chili. It's a smorgasbord of flavor. speaking of chili..... I really wish I liked beans. I've tried them and just can't stand the texture. I miss out on so much. This is a good week for Chili. Wish I had thought of that.

a book he wrote to pay gambling debts no less...

what would have happened if a majority of the house and senate didn't rebuke the objections? What if Pence just didn't do it? What if he stood at the podium and didn't certify and went along with it? What does it mean when we say "he can't". Who would stop him? Would the Capitol Police have gone up there and taken him away and Grassley preside? I mean if there is nothing that can be done on January 6 then what is the Electoral Reform Act all about then? From my limited reading it changes it from a majority to supermajority vote to support the objections. So on January 6th, we have David Perdue and James Craig submitted electors that went against the voting results, some Dems object... but they need a super majority to end that objections and it's not there. It takes a combined 100 crazy people to fuck things up. A few nameless people in a state to not certify results, a couple of rogue governors, 4 members of congress to object, and a few dozen members of the legislature across the Senate and House to vote against the people's wishes.

His Chief of Staff has been cooperating/answering their questions and turning over documents. One thing though.... what if the GOP's play here is to get the dems all on board with "you can't do anything on January 6th.... it's all ceremonial" then in 2025 after some rogue state(s) governor(s) pulls some shenanigans and submits fake electors or fails to submit then the Dems are all on record as saying "We have no options here... Kamala can't change anything". It still comes down to the fact that in 2020 everyone did the right thing officially.... but what happens when someone doesnt? What if Kemp didn't certify GA? The GOP wants to create as much chaos and disruption so that some elections may not be able to be certified because ballots were destroyed/compromised, maybe polling locations evacuated for bomb threats.... anything to make it "not normal" and therefore they'll have to resort to the state legislator choosing the electors.

I see no difference between "Foreigners who don't like us" and the modern GOP. Neither group likes America. They don't get a pass for being on this soil or winning the birth lottery. Character matters.

speaking of Cobb... when is Ken Burns going to do another inning to retract his stuff on Cobb?

Florida too....

yeah but he once saw on the teevee a few guys from a 1986 video clip holding up a picture of Ronald Reagan and shouting some things in Arabic which he translated

I'm willing to bet I talked with more Muslims in the last week (since I was in Chicago for 3 days I have to extend it) than Archie has in his entire life. But go ahead man.... tell me what they are like.

this is false

Like in Apollo 13 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin go to sit with Jim Lovell’s mom in the nursing home during the flight. “Are you boys in the space program too?”
