Biden tells ally he is weighing whether to withdraw from 2024 race: Live updates
  • Well he said he's not so I guess we can shut the fuck up about it and focus on how his opponent the convicted felon pedophile rapist just showed up on more of the infamous pedophiles secret documents.

    You know, the convicted felon pedophile rapist that is trying to say that his presidential immunity protects him from misappropriating campaign funds to silence a porn star about the affair they had while his 3rd (4th?) wife was pregnant with their son.

  • Trump Caught on Video Claiming ‘Broken-Down’ Biden Has Quit: ‘It’s Kamala’
  • These kinds of posts are actively harming our chances of avoiding a fascist take over. Can you not? The convicted felon was just listed even more times on the infamous pedophiles private docs, is there not an article about that you can post? gotta make sure everyone keeps talking about how an old man had an old man moment. An old man that’s helping the IRS go after the 1%, helping the EPA regulate carbon emissions, helping medicare lower drug prices, helping student loan borrowers reduce their burden, helping the fucking Ukraine while it defends itself against the soft-launch of WWIII… I’m sure there’s more I’m missing.

    I’ll vote for a corpse over fucking fascism. Biden passing would mean a strong black woman gets put in charge, and however much I disagree with some of her positions, I would take almost any black woman over drumpf. 99% chance of them being 1000x better for working families than the convicted felon pedophile rapist.

  • Who would win?
  • I mean, after being shot through by the death stars laser weapon, the borg would launch their time travel device so as to go back and include some ridiculous vulnerability in the death stars plans that they could then take advantage of. Say, like a single vent shaft that ran from the outside of the fort all the way to it's power source 🤣 I also imagine they would be able to get drones aboard. however, I could also see the hivemind being vulnerable to force manipulation tactics. A larger consciousness might be harder to sway, but the power of Darth Vader can't be summarily dismissed in this capacity. I think Darth would attempt to control them.

  • Judge dismisses all charges in Panama Papers, Operation Car Wash cases
  • The defendants in that case were acquitted because the income of money from illicit sources could not be determined, according to a court statement.

    Sounds like the judge did their level best to find some random way to weasel out of doing their job. "Oh, wait, you can't prove definitively that every single penny of the laundered money was from illegal sources? Guess that means everyone is innocent!"

    It can't just be me and my perspective. The world is just legitimately getting worse, in almost every respect. WTF.

  • Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward?
  • I solved this by purchasing 2 sets of 15 white cotton rags. When I finish evacuating my bowels, I use the bidet. Then toilet paper to make sure everything is clean. Then I use one of the rags to dry off whatever water happened to get on my genitals, before giving the backside a good wipe down as well (women learn this young, but for the men, ALWAYS CLEAN FRONT TO BACK. NEVER BACK TO FRONT. That's how you get a UTI). Toss the rag into a small laundry hamper I keep in the bathroom, and voila! You're clean, dry, and ready to go. Just wash the rags with some bleach, and you can fold them as you take a dump instead of doom scrolling.

  • Universal basic income is 'straight out of the Karl Marx playbook,' financial guru Dave Ramsey says
  • OK so this is bullshit and dave ramsey is a moron.

    Here is a qualitative meta-analysis performed by Stanford in 2020 looking at 16 different Universal Basic Income studies. Beware, it's a PDF. Here's their website : https://basicincome.stanford.edu/research/ubi-visualization/

    "The evidence from diverse interventions in low-, middle-, and high-income contexts indicates minimal impact on aggregate measures of labor market participation,3,5,6 with some studies reporting an increase in work participation.11 When reductions do occur, time is channeled into other valued activities such as caregiving."

    Every single study that's ever been performed on UBI has shown a steady level of labor participation, or an increase in it. Any drop, was by a family that now could afford to have a stay at home parent.

  • Washington State Police Officer & Convicted Murderer Shows Off Tattoos His Lawyers Fought To Hide
  • Prior to fatally shooting Sarey, Nelson killed Isaiah Obet in 2017. Obet was acting erratically, and Nelson ordered his police dog to attack. He then shot Obet in the torso. Obet fell to the ground, and Nelson fired again, fatally shooting Obet in the head. Police said the officer’s life was in danger because Obet was high on drugs and had a knife. The city reached a settlement of $1.25 million with Obet’s family.

    In 2011, Nelson fatally shot Brian Scaman, a Vietnam War veteran with mental issues and a history of felonies, after pulling Scaman’s vehicle over for a burned-out headlight. Scaman got out of his car with a knife and refused to drop it; Nelson shot him in the head. An inquest jury cleared Nelson of wrongdoing.

    This guy murdered 3 people by shooting them in the head. What, do we have a 3 strikes rule for police murder now? 3 times and you're out?

  • Donovan Mitchell, Cavs Agree to 3-Year, $150M Contract with Player Option
  • A lot of bad news lately. But hey, my favorite team just resigned one of their All-Stars, so. I got that going for me, which is nice. Rooting for a winning team brings me enjoyment, and watching them while I workout is a great motivation.

  • One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
  • “The vast majority of the people in the community did not want these bike lanes and do not want the bike lanes,” he said. “They were just put up there against our will.”

    Fray said that the lost parking spaces on one side of Oceania Street had a ripple effect. Residents who can no longer park there now compete for the spaces elsewhere in the neighborhood. “Everyone here drives,” he said.

    Dumbasses and their wild assumption that everyone is just like them. name a more iconic duo

  • Series: What are your tried-and-proven tricks for relaxing/relieving anxiety
  • Dang I thought you were going to say something about people who are in wheelchairs.

    Walking, in general, is a healthy activity that the majority of people would benefit from. I'm sorry your anxiety stops you from this activity, but to call someone idiotic, and their comments offensive, because they suggested someone with anxiety take a walk; is pretty silly.

  • Here's how my wonderful week has gone...
  • That sucks. BUT. on the bright side, I bet you remember this birthday more than you would if everything went swimmingly 😅 and you've got people who love and care about you enough to try to make your birthday special (even if a certain youngling is flipping out).

    Yesterday the power flickered at my residence, and I was all of a sudden very aware of the almost 30 degree temperature difference between inside and outside (was 100 F here yesterday). Stay cool!

  • Toxic PFAS absorbed through skin at levels higher than previously thought
  • Awesome. The guys at Dupont, Chemours (a subsidiary of Dupont), and 3M who put this shit into everything despite their own testing in the 70's showing that it accumulated in humans and caused an increase in cancer must be super proud of themselves. They made their CEO's millionaires, and all they had to do was poison everyone they ever knew, loved or cared about (plus everyone else).
