My headcanon is that she loathes Trump, was hoping he'd be indicted, and this is her attempt at reviving the newscycle now that Iran had had a ceasefire when she made her announcement.

The only people I'm interested in voting for are those currently pushing back against the regime. Beyond a few tweets or comments, she hasn't even tried.

Oh please, it's not like you should expect any of them to math properly, they can barely read!

I mean, she met Trump through Epstein, she posed nude, and eventually worked for Trump's modeling "agency" (which, afaict, existed mostly so he could poach women from his beauty contests and move them around to where he wanted them). I'm not sure how much to believe her when she says she didn't have a relationship with Epstein.

And don't spend money on fancy prescription sunglasses - that gives you an extra pair of expensive glasses to lose. You can get over-glasses sunglasses for like $20 each. They fit over your regular glasses; provide more sunglare protection from the sides, overhead and even reflected upward; you'll still be wearing your regular glasses so you won't lose them; and they're cheap enough that you don't need to worry about scratching or losing them.

The people we should be looking to, at the Federal level, are Congress. But of course we all know how ineffectual they are. Feels like they might as well not even exist, sometimes. Though, there are some real structural reasons for their ineffectiveness:

I love the detailed reasoning you've given to your entire post, thank you. The one thing I would add to your reasoning here is gerrymandering, which protects districts and allows Members to become ever more extreme, leading to increasing gridlock.

It's also frustrating when someone takes something from the Opinion column and reacts as if it's an actual news article.

Name eight members of his Cabinet that you think would've voted to remove Trump.

Vance didn't have a majority of the Cabinet.

 

And thank you, Eric!

In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the Thanksgiving holiday to the next to last Thursday of November, one week earlier than its traditional observance. This change was intended to help boost the economy by providing an extra seven days for Christmas shopping.

 

Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

 

Like many others, when the reddit APIcalypse happened, I moved to the fediverse. Like many, I wasn't sure what it really consisted of, how it worked, or what instance to move to. Eventually I decided to sign up with kbin.social. Ernest was welcoming, the instance was friendly with a nice mix of topics, the community was great, having access to both threadiverse and microblogs was great, and I loved it.

And then Ernest started having health issues and the instance became unstable. Eventually I moved to fedia/mbin, which I enjoy a lot, but I just haven't quite felt that same sense of belonging - I don't know, maybe the new job just kept me away a bit too much, or I'm getting old, or just been through too many changes. But I've kept kbin on my launch page, and sometimes I find myself a bit wistful for it.

I poked at the internet, and the kbin.social domain expires in a few days, on 10 September, which I suppose will be a formal end to the project. In memory of kbin, I'd like thank Ernest: wherever you are, I hope you are well and enjoying your life. Thank you for the concepts behind and your work on kbin; I love the bridging of the microblogs and threadiverse. And thank you for making the transition to the fediverse less confusing to this old redditor. I wish you the best in life, and thank you again.
