they like Trump and want to help him rule us. Two of the things that helped Republicans rule us more than anything else were in 2012 and 2022 when Republicans under a Dem Presidency and Senate were able to win the House only through more efficient gerrymandering and stymie Dem Presidencies.
About half of the people who voted for Sanders in that primary said they wouldn’t support him in the general against Trump.
“If we don’t give republicans extra votes, they might lose elections”
Worth noting how many organizations like SPLC neutered themselves and the work that they do, trying to avoid this very moment. Especially since Trump won again. But MAGA was always going to come for them. And eventually, we'll all be targets. No matter how much we tried to remain nonpartisan, etc.
the MCU has, to my knowledge, avoided all that?
The closest it's come to that so far is Deadpool & Wolverine and that's not even in the mainline 616
They're kind of doing that with RDJ but I'm pretty sure he's going to end up being a Doom who bodyjacked Stark in college like that one What If?
I assume it’s just going to be private planes for billionaires, no actual commercial flights for the peons
we all know I have no life, so:
Marvel is adding a little footage as a marketing effort to entice people to watch Endgame in theaters again and people are losing their fucking minds over it.
One of the massive achievements from Obamacare that people now take for granted is banning companies from excluding coverage for "pre-existing conditions"
It can only good happen
Really? They've been around a really long time. GOP lean, notoriously bad quality
They did, past tense, and then they had to scrap the whole plan because the actor they built everything around was convicted
FDR piloting a gigantic wheelchair mech into battle while carrying an American flag. he's standing on the shattered remains of a terminator style robot.
pfft. it's no wheelchair mecha
Even more fake. The crucial aspect here is that Trump makes the *exact* *same* *claims* about windmills.
It's a decades-old reactionary/NIMBY conspiracy theory repackaged for modern audiences
There's a lot of stuff I'll risk flying alone but that all changes traveling with small kids.
Absolutely not risking having to spend an extra few hours at the airport with cranky toddlers regardless of whether the airline is making it free & easy to rebook
voters loooooooove their top two primaries though
adding approval voting to the mix would be a good compromise
Yeah, there's not much difference between $5 million & $8 million on that front but you can tell a LOT about a campaign by how quickly it raises that first half million.
It's a litmus test for how seriously the candidate is willing to hustle b/c a lot just expect someone else to give it to them
One of those things where they'd have looked better by committing to an actual prediction market with real money rather than whatever this is.
(sort of like how the bet in Trading Places is worse because it's just over $1)
Donald Trump's Liquor Cabinet
It's why I think the "oh, but he doesn't drink" reputation is probably nonsense.
POS esports streamer caught a 1 year hardware ban from League of Legends for constantly using slurs
for context, you usually only get bans this severe for cheating.
we *are* doing it with batteries! It's the biggest untalked about tech story of the decade
Notice the incoherence of "we can't let chinese EVs in because everyone will buy them" & "we can't make EVs ourselves because no one wants to buy them"
If American auto makers are going to drop out of the EV market, then Chinese EVs aren't a threat
They're just asking us to subsidize inferior tech
or "mistake"
This is the exact kind of mistake insurance companies have already been making for decades though
People outside the US like to say this but the US isn’t a two-party system - it’s a no-party system. Political parties as the rest of world understands them are largely illegal in the US
Reminds me of that AI written anti-AI substack piece that got passed around by the usual suspects
I had to look this up when it first started circulating to double check the caption was real because it looked too good to be true
