I think that’s a little too advanced for Biden, but it wouldn’t surprise me that hear a staffer suggested exactly that… Don’t think much of Biden, but the current white house is doing damned well IMHO.

I do sincerely hope trump opts out. None of his fan base is going to be affected in the slightest either way, because cult, but trump will think he’s god gift for participating, and his head is already way too fucking big.

I’m purely about individual liberties for all individuals.

That makes me absolutely centrist, and in defiance of the societal definitions of the word “libertarian”, I’m using it in that specific context.

If you’ve got a better term, lay it on me :)

Look man, I’ll defend your right to say that stupid ass shit and make stupid ass assumptions about me, and I’ll defend it with my life, but you’re getting the Steve Harvey look right now…

Kinda feels that way :)

Didn’t Biden call the dude and enemy of the state on a few occasions?

Impeachment… Colluding with enemies of the state…

I’m being facetious of course, I’d rather they break the tradition of trying to impeach every president on their way out the door, but still, how you gonna have a meeting with someone you yourself called an enemy of the state?

‘I’ve got to do this on my own,’" she said last September. “Because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”

Apparently there’s a perception that it matters… You’ll see it with smoking cessation too. Gotta do shit the absolute hardest way possible or you’re somehow “cheating”…

Wouldn’t want people to have taken the easy way to not fucking dying :/

LG effectively has said that their owners manual and a cardboard box have authority over the courts. Clearly, as the courts have nullified it, they fucking dont.

All I see is a damned good reason to ban arbitration agreements outright. If you want to arbitrate a tort, you should be required to motion the court for it.

Imminently relatable… I’m a centrist libertarian, and I’m not a fan of Dems, but I like current Republicans considerably less…

That sounds like it’s exactly the point…

Normally I’d chalk your comment up as being a little too “tinfoil hat” to warrant engaging, but half the article implies exactly that, and I don’t think the author was doing it on purpose because quite frankly, I don’t think there are any news authors left with the competence to do so.

This is 100% some shit I’d expect to come out of the red team though… The Biden administration hasn’t struck me as being on the side of corporate interests (generally speaking… I’m not naive enough to think the Biden administration couldn’t be bought, I’m speaking to track record here…), and I don’t think this would impact tax revenue much, which is to say that there’s not much ulterior motivation for blues to trump up a bullshit problem to keep Chinese cars out of the market.

I’m inclined to agree with your opinion, but logically it doesn’t add up, is my point :)

The word genocide itself is banned? Or you can’t use it in reference to isreal? What if you’re talking about WWII? Or you’re one of the people protesting that call Biden “genocide Joe” (which is not specifically referencing Israel, but implies it pretty hard)…

I only ask because banning words is a pretty fuckin Republican thing these days and this don’t seem like that kinda place.

There were others who changed sports as well… Fosbury didn’t cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes…

He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.

Jimi wasn’t even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys…

Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I’d argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).

I get what you mean and don’t disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)

I guarantee you there’d be pictures of Joe sitting on em, playing with em, pretending to drink from them…

Military gives a lot of people a a fairly dark sense of humor :)

Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.

There’s solid points in the comments, but I feel like we’re talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there’s really only one answer in that context :)

Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.

I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .

My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes… Gotta fight for your right to party ;)

The very first presidential election I was eligible to vote in, one in six voters chose neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

If you want to preserve any semblance of democracy, stop buying the snake oil. We absolutely can vote for neither, and I go back far enough to have seen 18% of the population go out to the ballots and prove it.

"It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,”

God fucking damnit…

I actually like whitmer, she seems to trend less partisan than most, but disparaging Biden does not make someone a fucking trump supporter…

A typical trump supporter is a jonestown-esque cult member. It’s not someone who isn’t kissing Bidens ring.

I’m sick as absolute fuck of the binary bullshit that you gotta choose red or blue… There’s a purple libertarian party, and if you’re really off kilter, there’s the greens… Just because they only pull 2% of the votes doesn’t mean they don’t exist, you’re still talking about millions of people.

Biden is a puppet, his whole administration has their hands up his ass making his mouth move while they all do the actual talking. That doesn’t mean the Biden administration isn’t doing well, and it sure as fuck doesn’t mean trump is a good idea, but fuck Biden. Without supportimg trump, and without disparaging the way shits going…

Stop buying this shit, and whitmer, you should be ashamed of propagating it

Sums up my experience with reddit, except I brought my own app originally and everything was cozy for years, then one day, this…

The Ministry of Finance estimates the tax could generate about $43 million a year in tax revenue.

What could go wrong you ask? It’s right there… $43m a year… That doesn’t get deducted from the profits of the speculators, it comes out of the equity in the homes that get sold. The flippers aren’t gonna eat the tax, they’re going to add it to the cost of the homes they flip.

The law isn’t going to mitigate flipping much, it’s going to add $43m/year to the amount home prices increase by, and when people see the neighbors house values go up, they’ll demand more for their non-flip sales as well.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority states the money for the program comes from the Recreational Fishing Licence Trust Fund, which is raised through fishing license fees.

Kinda makes it an investment of sorts…

Solar maximum. I’m like 80% convinced this is a big part of it and the providers don’t want to admit it for whatever reason.
