As i recall either Manchin or Sinena already came out and said the would not approve a justice in an election year. Having her resign now will be a repeat of the Garland nomination

Edut: it was Manchin https://www.reuters.com/world/us/manchin-would-not-back-supreme-court-confirmation-right-before-2024-election-2022-02-15/

I dont think his appeal moved all the way there, though it was a federal case so it could have. I think this was a hail mary last play for them to intervene and put a hold on things. Either way even they said no

Shit they will probably defect for a regular serving of Borscht

It gets released tomorrow so it will grab headlines over the debate

Are there odds this guy flips to being an R if he wins the general?

Databases of gun owners? "DoNt ImPeDe On My FrEeDom"

Database of pregnant women? "Great idea"

I wish I had this amount of confidence in my fellow man. I fear this election is going to be just as close as the last two and it will be a coin flip in the end.

Small enough to fit in your bedroom, doctors office, and anywhere else you think is private

This the only political statement I needed to support Swift

For a guy who ran on "Lock her up" he sure is afraid of being locked up. Like in his mind isnt this how it should work?

I think there is like a 1% chance rate limits were an actual thing. It really feels like someone fucked something up, caused the issue and the "rate limits" were how Elon decided to try and play it. Then "increasing" the limits multiple times to completely illogical values was the system slowly coming back up. Elon increasing that limit makes him look like he is listening to the users and thus the good guy.

I have not seen anyone complain about rate limits since the day it happened. Other than jokes has anyone seen or heard of the issue?

I would say a company suddenly introducing a major policy change like view limits with no warning is beyond stupid but then again it is Elon who seems to believe he is God's gift to tech.

DeSantis tried doing what Trump does where he rails against something and threatens action, but rather than doing what Trump does which is talk big and then declare victory. DeSantis actually went through with the fight. The fights drag out and he takes harder and harder positions to defend. People dont want the fight, they want to talk big and declare victory without doing anything.

DeSantis is not helped by his campaign team either, as they seem to be perpetually online to where some of his ads are completely unintelligble to anyone that is not online all the time.

Finally, while petty, I think a lot of people liked DeSantis until they heard him actually speak. His voice is not what you would expect from a culture warrior strong man. He is also terrible at interacting with people too. Like really bad, those clips of him around other people are just hard to watch.
