pathetic display from a US senator, about what I'd expect from a losing ticket's VP. can you imagine Trump sitting in traffic for 27 hours without getting the gently caress out of there and then blasting the DOT and government from afar? this is why dems lose, they have no idea how to exercise power

what does TFF think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg now that it's been a while?

love her because of her long history of leading the way, decisions, personality, etc.?

or hate her because of the way she went out on the court?

I'm dating my fiancée because we were friends on FB and she decided to delete her account and made a public post saying if anyone wanted to keep in touch to DM her, and I did, she gave me her number, and here we are.

So FB may have contributed to genocide but it also helped me find a partner so it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

Yes, people in an earlier version of this thread said it was extreme, General Dog specifically was worried about how it would cause the flyover states (my phrasing, not his) to have significantly less representation than the coasts.

I don't have archives, but if you can find the earliest time I said either "abolish the senate" or "the senate shouldn't exist" or something similar there were a lot of spicy responses to it. And I'm not talking about how it would be almost impossible to actually accomplish, which I concede.

you referring to these posts?

the first gathered some rather boring replies
the second was ignored

gd's pro-senate reply is thus:

Well it was the foundational compromise of our country, everyone knew what they were getting into when they ratified or applied for statehood.

The fact that rural versus urban interests continue to define our politics here 250 years later just proves that it’s as relevant and necessary as ever.

Also don't do a STEM PhD unless you want to go into academia, any other job that claims to require one can be obtained with the right combination of work experience.

Ph.D. programs are often hell and not worth it, but, there are absolutely jobs that you just will not get a foot in the door without a PhD at various national labs.

That's fair, revising my statement to "don't do a PhD unless you're certain your target career requires one".

One of my better friends when I dropped out of my program ended up finishing his, got a postdoc with the #1 researcher in the world for his field, and AFAICT now runs an organic farm with his wife and is completely out of the field. I haven't talked to him in years but I've always been curious about what happened there.

ally: just here to chill and provide a HYSA, decent loans, and some brokerage stuff if maybe you want it?

citi: boring, woman CEO, warren invested in it, and it actually just had a nice Q2 beat and raise. sometimes fat fingers a trade.

barclays: purveyor of exotic financial ETNs and other random poo poo, basically has no idea what it's doing, but is british so probably has nice tea and service

jpm: big boy on the block, does everything, will gently caress you doing it but in a polite and law-abiding fashion.

bnp paribas: french, will sell dumb structured notes to your financial advisors, will give loans to commodity traders as long as it doesn't cause them headaches, goes out for a smoke a lot.

db: you want us to wrap some exotic poo poo for jim simons to evade taxes? sure. front russian money for trump? sounds exciting. spot a housing crisis and then tell everyone else to bet against mortgage CDS's? that's our bag. what else you got? let's do it.

ccb: world's largest slush fund for anti-capitalist anti-freedom state control of persons and economy. by definition lawful.

wells: we didn't KNOW we were violating the law, can you please remove our capital controls so we can find some new way to gently caress people over?

credit suisse: so bad at hiding their evil that it's all scandals and incompetence all the time. archegos? more like archeGOT

For those unaware Charlie Crist, the guy running against Desantis, is himself a former Republican Governor of FL. The FL Dems already ran him as a Dem governor candidate once and got beat by Rick Scott. Crist is an empty suit piece of poo poo who represents everything people hate about politics. He's going to lose just like he always does and no one will learn anything.

super hard to imagine why the dems keep getting wiped in florida with inspiring candidates like that
