Yeah, I'm the same. The numbers work against Trump in 2024 in a way they didn't in 2016. Trump's best chance would have probably been to lay low for 4 years and let people forget the failures of his leadership but he obviously is incapable of doing that and instead has been running a nonstop campaign against himself in the media since Jan 6 2021.

It doesn't mean he can't win, it means he has gone from having a not-great chance to an even-less-great chance even if there are no legal showstoppers between now and Election Day. Trump's entire campaign pitch is nothing but a nonstop narcissistic rant about his own legal problems, it doesn't pull people over it just whittles his base down to the most loyal, and that's just not a great strategy to get swing-state voters to lean to your side.

I have no idea how a probably nearly 9-0 SCOTUS ruling managed to shake people so badly but there are some serious brainworms working in this thread all of the sudden.

Honestly, 2017 onward was a blur of misery and anxiety waiting to see if I'd have healthcare or not. Then 2021 happened and I got unleaded water and juiced up tax credits for my health insurance, so yeah. I knew something was terribly wrong with America when the federal government started working to my benefit.

The bottom text is so small you can't even read it and it just looks like a Biden sticker (inexplicably in the Bounty logo font) from a distance. Only when I pulled up alongside the truck (which also had YEE YEE in giant white letters across the rear window) could I see and properly parse the whole thing

I drive all day in the south so I see every variant of these imaginable. I spotted one today that said "Dumb and Dumber" with headshots of Biden and Harris on a Lincoln crossover who's driver couldn't park for poo poo.

Some all-timers are the "FJB Edition" trunk badges, the sticker that says "Buck Fiden" and one I spotted last week that said "I'm a straight white male, how can I offend you today?"

At least the guys with a dozen masts in thier pickup beds all flying every possible variant of Trump flag seemed to have given it up in the past year or so. Though I imagine they are just waiting until later this year to bring them back out.

Diapers wasted. I have a working sphincter, unlike President Joe Biden. I remember the Trump rears. They were good. I got clean diapies, I had fun. Can't say the same with any other President in my lifetime.

quote:

A lawyer for the chief witness against Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, said on Friday that the witness was cooperating with a House Ethics Committee investigation into whether Mr. Gaetz had sex with an underage girl while he was serving in Congress.

Fritz Scheller, a lawyer for Mr. Gaetz’s former friend and political ally Joel Greenberg, said he provided documents to the committee related to claims Mr. Greenberg has made about Mr. Gaetz. Mr. Greenberg previously told federal investigators that he had witnessed Mr. Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

“Mr. Greenberg has and will cooperate with any congressional request,” Mr. Scheller said in an email on Friday. Mr. Greenberg, who pleaded guilty in May 2021 to charges including sex trafficking, is serving an 11-year prison sentence.

When Trump was in office we were still in Afghanistan. That meant you could pretend that 2001 wasn't that long ago, because why would a war last that long? By leaving, Biden has aged us all 20 years.

It varies.

Labour leadership is currently elected by paid up party members using an alternative vote system. The Liberal party is very similar.

Conservatives have multiple rounds of voting by MP's for the candidates , eliminating the one with the lowest support each time. The choice between the final 2 is put before the party membership.

N.b. This is all very much subject to change. Parties can, and do, change how their membership rules work all the time.
