Almost makes you wonder if it's worth trying to go after those republicans that are declining to run next election and seeing if they can flip one or a few.

Lol it would never happen. Someone else would just gently caress it up the very next day.

I haven't been paying attention but I'm surprised I haven't heard comparisons between the covid vax and the anthrax series of 17~ years ago. I'm sure some idiot is clamoring somewhere thinking "the anthrax vax was made optional and this will be too" but I haven't heard it yet.

The whole thing doesn't make any sense. Jr has been dead for 20~ years. The anniversary of the assassination is 20 days away. And why would Jr appear on the grassy hill instead of from the book repository window, or just in the middle of the road in a convertible Continental? Wouldn't it be more logical that he appear in the ocean off the coast of New England? Flying a ghost plane?

On top of that, the whole dead lib son of a dead lib (for the time) president to join forces with trump to own the libs? What?

As an outsider looking in, why would the Dems who voted against this bill do so? Didn't go far enough is my initial reasoning, am I far off here?

Because they wanted the build back better social bill to pass first, or in tandem with infrastructure. Now the leverage for the BBB social bill is pretty much gone.

Youngkin's underage son tried to vote twice for his daddy.


https://www.newser.com/story/313055/election-officials-stopped-youngkins-son-17-from-voting.html posted:

Glenn Youngkin's fears about election integrity have been vindicated, at least in the case of one would-be voter. Someone in Virginia tried to cast a vote Tuesday who wasn't eligible—the candidate's son. Voters have to be at least 18 years old to vote in the state, and Youngkin's son is 17. He was turned away from a polling place twice, the Washington Post reports. A statement issued Friday by Fairfax County election officials said the teenager did not violate any Virginia election laws. His father, a Republican, had a better day, winning the governorship by defeating Democrat Terry McAuliffe in a close race.

The precinct captain said Youngkin's son showed his driver's license at a polling place in the Great Falls Library. Jennifer Chanty said she realized who he was when she looked at the license, then told him he had to be at least 18 to cast a ballot. She suggested he register then so he could vote in the next election, but he said no and left. About 20 minutes later, Chanty told the Post, he returned and tried again. A 17-year-old friend had been allowed to vote, he told Chanty. "I told him: 'I don’t know what occurred with your friend, but you are not registered to vote today. You're welcome to register, but you will not be voting today,'" she said Friday.

The county elections boss said Youngkin's son didn't disrupt the polling place or make any false statements. His father made an issue of "election integrity" during his primary campaign, creating a task force of citizens to work "to ensure free and fair elections in Virginia." A spokesman for the governor-elect blamed the side Youngkin defeated, per CNN, saying they're "pitching opposition research on a 17-year-old kid who honestly misunderstood Virginia election law and simply asked polling officials if he was eligible to vote; when informed he was not, he went to school."

Probably the second worst part of being a vet is random acquaintances or friends that seemingly only reach out (usually on holidays or weekends) to ask for random free medical advice for their pet that is usually best answered with "You need to go to your vet, I can't diagnose over the phone/Discord chat while we play games. No, I don't need to see pictures of it's butthole. Go to your vet."

I've definitely made a call or three like that to my veterinarian cousin, but they call me every time they have car trouble, so I feel like we have a fair trade in comforting each other in things we can't handle at the moment.

Did he have any legal issues that would compel him to relinquish control of firearms?

I wouldn’t put it past him to fake a theft to “pull a fast one” on the law.

Nope, somehow. He was never charged with any of his wifebeating. Likely had prescriptions for opiates for his back, but that doesn't make you a prohibited possessor like getting caught with a joint would.

I mean, I never felt compelled to carry a weapon either... until I transitioned. :shrug:

I can understand that in Memphis, but as a cis white dude with a giant beard and perpetual rear end in a top hat face, that was typically enough to keep people away from me. I always carried a knife though, just because it was a handy tool, not for anything more nefarious.

Obviously if my situation was different, I wouldn't have felt so secure about myself. My last girlfriend in Memphis would conceal carry in her purse, I had no issues with that and it made sense. She was very good about safe handling and range time.
