Doesn't Scott Adams still live in the Bay area of California? If so, this really is just a performative statement.

Trump won't go to jail, most house arrest because if they do it, he'll still win and now you gave him the power and precedent to go after Biden, Hilary, EVERYONE the same way. And if not by lawfare by recalling secret service protection if they attempt to do that to jail him.

Agreed. And in addition to what you said, even if this wasn't trumped-up charges (which it is), Merchan has a ridiculous numbers of red flags and anomalies on this and I'm sure Trump's lawyers (and probably NY State too) have the appeal paperwork drafted already.

On round 6 of the vote, it was 49.5% for this guy, 44.7% for the Mises guy, and 5.8% for either write-in or none of the above.

On round 7, it was 60.6% for this guy, 2.8% write-in and 36.6% for none of the above

They're there, but floating around 30-40% looks like.

I wish. President Skroob is infinitely more entertaining than virtually any current politician.

Dude, this is a very bad take even from you. Go to news.google.com and enter the search term kabosu when:1d (or perform an equivalent search on any news aggregator)

There's close to a hundred articles that turn up about her dying published within less than 24 hours.

No one cares

No. YOU don't care. Multiple orders of magnitude more people care about Kabosu's death than your ramblings (or anything any of us post here, or anywhere). Doge was one of the most well known memes in the world - basically, a celebrity died. Only this celebrity solely made people happy, had no political hot takes, didn't have any sordid events in her past, and was just a cute dog. So, in every conceivable way, better than an actual celebrity.

If only half the stories in the linked article are true, that place is an extra-special type of mess.

This story is just so far beyond the pale of even Clownworld though. The grift is indeed real.

After a Native American applicant was rejected in 2021, for example, Lucero chewed out the committee and made members sit through a two-hour lecture on Native history delivered by her own sister, according to three people familiar with the incident. No applications were reviewed that day, an official present for the lecture said.

It would have a negligible impact on electoral votes. It might take 1 EV away from Oregon and give it to Idaho.

The reason that congress would fight it (if they choose to) is simply to send the message saying "sit down, shut up and keep quietly getting fleeced you silly sheep". Though, doubt it will even come to that as the state legislator will be screaming that message to stop anything from happening.

And the basic functionality of the algorithm is getting worse and worse too. Over the last couple days I've had multiple cases where the recommended next video on youtube is the video I am currently watching. How bad do you have to be to not have a check for that?

Inb4 trans robot who loves Revan.

Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.

Pretty sure I mentioned this on here before, but for me the biggest incident was the Sandmann incident. A guy I know was talking about how terrible those kids were, I told him that Phillips started the whole thing, and the guy accused me of lying saying the media said Sandmann and his friends were responsible. I then linked him the video of the incident, showing Phillips instigated it and his response was "I don't have time to watch that"

It really is willful ignorance among many of these people.

Hey, Nuland - if you're so interested in helping Ukraine start by figuring out where all the money that was supposed to go to ammo and defenses went. Or, better yet, tell Zelensky we're not going to give him anything at all until his administration engages in peace talks in earnest.

I'm not such a cynical fuck that I don't think the story mode will come out fairly clean in spite of everything or at the very least it will satisfy normies

I'm not sure on that one. Given how the Saints Row remake/reboot/whatever game was a disaster even for normies, there's at least a chance Rockstar will do the same thing.

and then they would be executed in shame.

In a civilized society, they'd go and practice soduko (intentionally misspelled) to restore their family names.

Yeah, that's about the only reasonable reaction. This falls squarely in "you think you hate journalists enough, but you don't" for me. Between the "look at me, I'm a nerd too!" begging, the narcissism oozing from every word, the fact that there's a number of super suspicious things (did you really have a dial-up connection to Dartmouth in 1978? Did you really think "Oh, I'm lost so I'll quote Tolkien to my son"? and so on), and basically ignoring the wishes of her kids, this woman is quite the piece of work.

They both say that they never signed a waiver to let their likenesses be used for my promotional purposes.

And they didn't. So stop posting photos of them online! Or, even better, just listen to them when they tell you things, rather than calling their opinions a "dangerous insurgency"

And bragging about forcing your kids to wear Google Glass....

You need help, lady. A LOT of help. Starting about 15 years ago.

Honestly, it should be standard practice to assume liability any time that happens..

Police body camera mysteriously fails during a chase/arrest? The officers involved and supplier of the cameras are automatically held criminally liable for anything done during the arrest and any "evidence" acquired is not admissible in court.

Cameras mysteriously fail in a jail? Guards and prison staff automatically held guilty of anything that goes wrong until they are restored.

Cameras fail during vote counting? All poll workers there fired, all votes discarded, entire district needs to revote.

And so on. Backup systems are a thing you should have anytime anything important is going on, and if you don't do anything wrong during the time of the failure then there's nothing to fear.

On top of what has been already said, making things illegal retroactively is just awful. "What you did wasn't a problem at the time, but Current Year(tm) says it is naughty so we're punishing you anyway"
