it shouldn't bother me given all the terrible things trump says and does, but why would you choose one of the writers well known for being a soldier?

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:their take on congress is half the reason AOC has any power; in a less poisoned era "some ancient crony gets knocked off" is a story that ends two weeks later, and then she gets quietly redistricted into oblivion. but AOC is straight out of one of the hornier Sorkin scripts, and so she has become congress in a lot of their heads. I can't remember which podcast I heard this on, but if AOC was really a Sorkin character she'd fall down stairs in the Capitol a lot. Medullah posted:Holy gently caress this rear end in a top hat is saying that the DEMOCRAT Wisconsin governor failed because there were lines for voting. He's not wrong. If Evers wasn't such a coward he could have prevented there being any lines for voting at all by using his authority to cancel voting like the Ohio governor did. Republicans are going to be feckless but it's such an intensely Dem response to throw up your hands and say 'well, I bet they'll sure be punished next election this time' instead of actually doing anything about it when you have the power to do so. e: Or, to put it another way, I hope the voters and poll workers who die remember to thank the Governor for adhering to decorum.

I guess I don't get how being a power-tripping rear end in a top hat feels good. I couldn't imagine just being a dick like that. My sister got genuinely mad about two young children riding their bikes on the sidewalk in her neighborhood. She thought a 4-year old out for a little ride should be in the street. It's like a totally different brain. Paracaidas posted:So, what does stopping an election entail? Like, what are the actual steps Evers should have taken, in your mind? Out of curiosity, since I really don't know, but does anyone know if he could have pulled DeWine's threat where the polls were open but the physical buildings were closed.

So, my girlfriend has been waiting three weeks to receive her unemployment over here in FL. Things here are a mess. DeSantis and FL Republicans have really, truly hosed up. Literally none of her/my unemployed friends or relations have been able to get through to fully submitting a claim on the website. We were close at one point, but it through up some weird yellow runtime error near the end. They have the option for paper applications, but A.)You can't get through on the phone to request it without being on hold in excess of 12 hours(longest we've tried is around 11) B.)Picking up paper applications at the unemployment office is a huge risk for infection so we're not going to go and risk it. She doesn't have healthcare right now. Also, this article really explains it all. My favorite snippet is this: Dumbfuckery of a Massive Scale posted:The system was supposed to have a backup in case it failed, but officials recently learned that the backup had its own critical failure: it wasn’t hooked up to the system. I'm feeling a general sense that people here are ready to riot if DeSantis doesn't get his poo poo together, and honestly lighting that torch is pretty tempting right now for us at the moment after trying for hours on the daily just to *submit* a claim.

He's also doing this thing in almost every question I watch him answer, where he won't let the questioner finish the question, he just interrupts halfway through and launches into some petulant testy diatribe that may or may not have anything to do with what the person was trying to ask. Is he doing that more frequently now? I feel like at least he used to let people finish talking.

They didn't gently caress up, it's working as intended by making it as difficult as possible to collect unemployment. quote:Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.

I just want to say now that I predict that Trump ends up finding a way to cede all control of the stimulus package to himself by proxy of his lackeys and they somehow find a way to give all the money to himsel, through his children, and his donors. The republiucan voters will look at this as a failure of democrats to stop him from corruption so therefore they need to go. Hannity will find a way to say its good for the country that Trump stole all the money and that somehow corruption is the american way. Biden will be completely okay with all of this and will continue making podcasts about old people cookies. edit: Mike Pence will say it is god's will that Trump takes the money and will fall prostrate at Trump's feet.

Any conscious judge can (and would) issue an immediate stay and tell every state trooper still carrying out the Governor's orders that they will be in held in contempt of a court order. And at that point, who are those state troopers more likely to listen to?
