Yea so... making fun of someone's name is sophomoric. I'm sure some Trump folks love it but actual adults really don't give a shit. I was even kind of annoyed years back when people were attacking Trump because of the Drumpf surname - as if half of America didn't have their name butchered by Ellis Island.

The asshole doesn't have any actual criticisms that will stick so he's resorting to school yard bullying.

Your reason is the correct one... but I am happy to keep repeating that it's because Vance is actually a sectional predator.

Fuck nepotism.

This kind of shit is why I have so little faith in the Liberals and feel privileged to be able to realistically vote NDP.

NatPo is a foreign influencer - they're no longer domestically owned.

Back in my day Facebook was just a site to have a poke streak with a friend so you could giggle about it when you saw each other.

Anyone who uses it as a news source terrifies me.

Her store had merch available when he dropped out. This absolutely was coordinated ahead of time.

Ahem, they ended up pulling that article... presumably because he actually did have sex with a couch.

Uh, Uber drivers are also engaged to wait. And it's not like the hospital is specifically paying people to wait - they're paying people to be available to provide a certain consistent level of service.

It's just not feasible to pay somebody an hourly wage when you can't guarantee any work to be available for them to do at any given time.

This is precisely why the concept of a grocery store, convenience store, clothing store, post office, tech support line, airline, pizzeria, or literally any other business is impossible to get off the ground.

Gosh, I wish our society had commerce merchants but it's just infeasible to provide any service that isn't constantly guaranteed to be in use... even mail order services are a pope dream!

Your point, if you didn't catch on in the first two paragraphs, is so utterly and insanely wrong.

Come on Harris, come on Harris... poppa needs a new filling!

Yes, it's better than literal nepotism... but I think we as a country can aim higher than "At least we're not literally a hereditary monarchy".

I think there is incredible potential to bring out young voters if she acts well - the discord has been muted by AIPAC but young people are seriously pissed. There may be some political calculus in trying to keep AIPAC from just switching to fully supporting the GOP but I think it's about time to declare them a foreign actor anyways... Bernie's recent speech was powerful and accurate and young people have been much more focused on this conflicts then politicians who get bales full of money from AIPAC want to admit.

A misunderstanding it'd seem - Eurostar was complaining about delays on their London-Paris route and I misread it as being on the exclusive sections of track.

Wut? It is supremely American to think you can only talk to politicians if you have money... and only because so many other people are willing to purchase a slice of their time.

I can just walk to Peter Julian's office and, assuming I'm not rude, talk to him about something that matters to me. I've had conversations with Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders - I used to board game with a state senator. It it might be hard to get a lunch date with Joe Biden but politicians spend the majority of their time just talking to folks... it's only when the rich can use their money to monopolize time that shit breaks down.

Specifically Eurostar - not SNCF what any reasonable person means if they're talking about "French Rail Lines".

I'd accept such an outcome.

She was... she was the iceberg.

That's fucking ridiculous though I think it's perfectly fair for s restaurant not to be ultimately liable. This case feels like a gimmie to Perdue/Tyson to dodge any accountability for their bargin bin meat farming operations.
