WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power.
This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.
The Iranians did not vote the ayatollahs to power in 1979, and since then, there have been no real elections.
Americans seem to be stupid enough to vote very similar religious extremists into power. That is going to be your last election.
Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.
Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term.

The essence of conservatism is that there is a core group that that law protects but does not bind, and all others, whom the law binds, but does not protect. Samuel Alito & his ilk want sectarian exemptions for all acts of Christian extremism & bigotry.
Just gonna say this again — journalism doesn’t need more journalists. It needs more journalism jobs. If you’re rich and want to help journalism, buy a bunch of alt weeklies, set up a trust, and fund them indefinitely.
I cracked the code. Told my boomer dad that having motion smoothing on his TV 'makes it work twice as hard' and will 'wear it out faster' and now hes obsessed with making sure its off.
I think I can say with a clean conscience I’m not a shameless biden shill but to me the main reason you vote for him is the opportunity to vote for somebody better in 2028 will not exist if he loses
