How was this guy a mayor?
Trump has a decades long history of not paying his debts. I assumed all his lawyers would insist on payment in full first.

it gets harder for the media to pretend that any of the also-rans are relevant to the race.

Do you mean the Republicans? As far as I could tell, the major networks basically ignored the Democrat hopefuls

Primarily because if courts admit it's fallible, everyone convicted in part on bite evidence would need to be retried. Which would be a crazy amount of work. And people are lazy. Epically courts.

They did nothing when the decision was leaked.
Nothing when it was official.
Nothing in the years since.
Why?

So they could use it as campaign chip in this election.
Fuck off.

Both parties use their constituency as pawns, rather than employers. It's why we all need to support Represent Us and the Forward Party who are trying to make our representatives actually represent us.

That's what happens when you try to say eight things in two sentences.

Given that dumb requirement, I think they did a decent job.

UBI would be great for those who are working or not.

Yes! I would love to vote for anyone from any party, who has done one thing that transfers wealth from the shareholder class to the working class. For my entire life (born in 1980) every law I've ever heard of has done the opposite, and I'm sick of it.

There is a long history of law enforcement not taking threats of violence seriously, when they come from white conservative groups.

The Secrete Service might. As far as I know they take all threats to the president as pretty serious. But that only helps the president, not the rest of us.

I'm an XRay Tech in a hospital. I LOVE my 3, 12 hour days! It's only an extra 4 hours each day. Then I have 4 day weekends, EVERY WEEK! It's amazing! I could never go back to 5 day work weeks.

Awesome! Honestly that's more important to me than her being trans. I just assumed she'd be another lawyer. But having real jobs represented is great!

I've read the whole thing and I feel like there's something that's just assumed that everyone understands.

What exactly is the problem? Why do we care how many people know each other or don't? I'm so confused.

It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren't remotely children in any way.
