Trump described Obama as "disrespectful" in 2014 when he saluted marines with a latte in his hand.

Trump described Harris as "disrespectful" when Biden first picked her for his running mate in 2020.

Trump called Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson "disrespectful" in 2022 for her answers to GOP reps during her confirmation hearings.

Funny how he never seems to think white people are being disrespectful.

Dear carmakers, if you can make a battery with 500km range that is 1/4 of the price, that would be great.

Pretty much the only time you can say it without being racist in the US is saying the full name of the NAACP.

Part of me wants Harris to pick a gay Hispanic VP just so the right shows their whole ass.

All she has to say is that we had a border bill ready to go and Republicans voted against it to give Trump a better chance in the election.

Good old #8 on Umberto Eco's definition of fascism.

'Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak"'

That's not much of a concern. It's a mutually assured destruction situation. Other governments know that any assassination attempts would be met with wildly disproportionate force.

If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.

I kinda agree. It would actually give government officials motivation to obey the will of the people.

I want a small nuclear submarine. That would open up so many exploration options. You could zoom around short distances manually or use it to fast travel long distances from port to port (say DC to Boston). Mutated sea creatures to run from or fight. Flooded sunken coastal cityscapes. Ghoul Chinese sub crews still fighting the war. Secret underwater research stations. So many options.

That's why what Dems feel about it doesn't matter. What matters is how moderates, both-siders, and never-Trumpers feel about it. It's their votes we need to beat Trump. I don't have high hopes for Harris swaying them.

I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.

My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....

I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.

 

Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
