It might help with the swing voters - which evidently somehow still exist, but it would make a bunch of the MAGA base stay home on Election Day.

No, he’s teeing it up for Harris to campaign on those accomplishments and helping draw a sharp distinction between her and Commander Cuckoo Bananas. And he didn’t mention her because he at least knows you can’t campaign with a presidential speech.

Yeah, hopefully they put some safeguards in place because they won’t be so lazy next time.

As important as this issue is, maybe the government should also fix the entire reporting process so it actually worked correctly https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/ap-top-news/2024/04/22/report-urges-fixes-to-online-child-exploitation-cybertipline-before-ai-makes-it-worse

It’s Tara Reade first off. Secondly she defected to Russia in the company of a known Russian intelligence asset whom she termed a “friend.” So excuse everyone who thinks her story might be suspect.

Oh, I don’t think he’s MAGA, I think he’s just entirely too worried about his acting career and threw Kyle under the bus without a second thought. Kyle just said what occurred to him in the moment and rather than backing Kyle, Jack just turned weasel.

Never thought I’d see someone think they had to white knight Jack Black, but here we are

”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.

It definitely needs to be decriminalized but that’ll actually take an act of Congress. Public pressure needs to be applied but let’s not pretend Biden can do this on his own
