I do have to say, we need to go back to painted portraits... They look so much classier and dignified. Fitting for a position of power. Obama's looks like a cardboard standee. Biden's is alright until you look at his face too much. Trump's first looks like he's posing for employee of the month. His second looks, well yeah, it looks like his just like mugshot. They're like school yearbook photos...

Pfff... Didn't even calculate for the rate of evaporation of the water... Amateur...

There's no way he topped an ostrich...

If anything, the ostrich fucked him...

And it was ashamed afterward...

And that's exactly what I thought when other articles were saying he might do it yesterday. And I'm 100% positive that's the intention. Biden knows he's going to reverse it, purely put of spite. He's hoping that when Trump does, it hurts his relations with Xi and Putin.

Of course they would, his critics have been shitting all over everything he's done for the past 4 years. Granted, he should have done it sooner, but the only time it'd be "too late" would be if Cuba was gone altogether.

These people are attacking the man and his actions just for the fact that they're attached to him. If Trump were to do the same in 5 days, he'd be lauded as a hero. Instead Biden has simply given him something else to add to his list of Democratic policies to undo.

Wrong, you create a viable third choice through effective, bold, and charismatic leadership and an incredibly strong marketing campaign. Our third parties seem happy to pull the outliers and disillusioned voting population, but you won't win an election with that.

The only way we're getting an actual third choice is by making something that's equal to or bigger in presence to our primary parties in terms of media representation and spectacle. None of the ones that exist today are pulling that off any time soon.

Wouldn't it be absolutely delicious to find out that Vance has been playing double agent all along instead of just turncoat? That his whole plan was to butter up Trump just so he could get close to him?

I'm not holding out much hope that he's still anything other than a huge pile of shit... Still...

Of course he has. This is what bourgeoisie narcissists do. He got the vote from the suckers and morons who support him. He got their money. He's now in a position of absolute power. He got everything he wanted. Unless he needs another disposable goon squad, what use does he have for them?

Oh, I get it, and I'd be scared as hell too. However, I can still say he should have done his duty and has failed to show the integrity that role requires. He could just as easily be presiding over a mob case, knowing that to convict a crime boss would mean similar threats to his and his family's safety. What if he doesn't do his duty then for the same reason? If that's the best excuse, I still argue that he's not fit for the job.

People shouldn't get a pass just because they have power. All it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing.

Not that I expected anything but this, but I'll repeat what I said when Merchan announced the sentencing delay until after the election,

Fucking pussies...

He should resign, clearly he's not fit for his position if he'll allow himself to be intimidated into inaction.

And that's just this quarter... What they made over the course of those 4 years is in the trillions. What they were ordered to pay in restitution was maybe around 0.0025% of their total earnings.

Don't know how many folks have heard about Libby, but I've used it for a couple years now.

Libby let's you browse your local library's digital catalogue, including all of their audio books. Books can be borrowed for up to 3 weeks, with the option to extend it a sling as there's no one waiting for it. Works on Apple, Android, and in your browser. Best of all, it's all free! I dumped Audible for it and haven't looked back.

Holy crap, they're the worst I've ever seen them this year. Fucking nymphs are all over my patio, the house, the car...

For every one I kill, I find 4 more. Also, I don't remember them jumping like fleas!
