The UK and France are giving me hope...

I see people asking why Biden wants another term and why isn't he happy to rest on his laurels? And I'm here to talk to that no sane person with a normal ego wants to be POTUS. It is a huge weakness if our system of ñ gov't that you have to be a borderline psychopath to want the top job.

I just don't get this whole "Biden should step down" movement. Biden is incredibly flawed but there is literally no Democrat who could take over today and have more "legs." Every Democrat you float at best inherits Biden's support and no more. As we used to say in auto racing, run what you brung.

Wyoming is literally full of Crow and Cheyenne.

Did you think the updates were over?? Thanks to folks rounding up and our second chance winners, we're now at $975,000! We are so close... 👀😍

Props to the dude who brought his homework to the game! #Padres

LOL, if you only believe things that happen in a court of law, your frame of reference for reality is pretty limited.

Pretty sure you were not imagining a guilty plea when you asked the question.

Hell, 90% of ALL criminal cases never go to court. They plead out.

The problem with "whisper networks" is that they're whispered.

Not to mention JFK had Addison's Disease and was quite ill during his entire presidency...

It's both ableist and ageist and Franklin Roosevelt would like a word.

Sold Out! Thank you, #Romancelandia

Only 1 autographed copy of Skin in the Game left! This books original title was "Unabated to the Quarterback," but that was too niche for non-football enthusiasts. FMC is a HS fb coach, MMC is a pro-qb called in to "help" her. You might like it! #Romancelandia www.32auctions.com/organization...

I didn't say I was sure it was true. I said I was disappointed but not surprised. I am disappointed bc it's always disappointing to hear allegations like this. And not surprised bc it never surprises me to hear that a man with power may have taken advantage of it. It's sadly too predictable.

The source isn't relevant to my observation. Men in positions of power who engage in sexual relationships with women who are old enough to be their granddaughters are engaging in abuse. Claiming it's "consensual" doesn't actually help.

Buumpass, VA would like to have a word...

Yes, she went straight to insulting you. It's still not an ad hominem. For it to be an ad hominem, she would have had to actually address your argument. Because she didn't, it's just an insult.

"Your argument is wrong and also demonstrates you are a fuckface" =/= "Your argument is wrong because you are a fuckface."

Disappointed and also not even a little bit surprised by this morning's "man uses power to sexually abuse women young enough to be his granddaughters" news.

The only reason it was relevant is Barry was trying to claim that Palestinians are colonists/invaders who came from somewhere else and...just no.

Yeah, the timing was just...not ideal. The second book was due right around the time Julian died and...nope.

Aw, thank you! I was gonna put "and goddamnit, people liked it" but I ran out of characters, lol.

I refer you to what I said earlier: bsky.app/profile/jack... I am not aware of ANY indigenous group that has either proposed or completed such an effort. It's up to YOU to demonstrate that ANYONE but Zionists have ever even floated this idea, much less accomplished it.

If any indigenous group proposed to re-establish a defunct nation-state with the intent of importing settlers to make itself the ethnic majority while displacing and dispossessing the equally indigenous group already occupying that territory, I would consider it unjust.

So you can't list any then? I guess we're done here.

If there are, feel free to list them. In the meantime, you're just howling into the wind.
