Look, I agree with you. But the laws are already in place to require a certain amount of physical stability. In the current context, that's just plain nuts, I'd pick just about any other democrat over Biden. Who knows, maybe he'll reject the nomination (like he probably should). And we'll get AOC or Harris or something.

This is promising. Trump just lies (surprised face), Biden just exaggerates or makes small speaking errors. (Among all the brain farts and studdering)

I watched some of it. Super embarrassing for Biden. Added all the fodder Fox needs to make edits and clips until the end of time.

Wish Bernie were an option, but he's got medical issues that make him ineligible.

This is a bad comparison. Language absolutely works as described in the previous comment. While certain trends such as using "literally" to mean "figuratively", are personally super annoying, that doesn't change the fact it's 100% correct when enough people do it.

For real, I've heard some recordings, and the only similar thing I heard was "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free".

I think it's important to note as well, nearly ALL chants in most protests rhyme, so "... sea, Palestine will be Arab" just doesn't sound like something anyone would be saying.

That is, in fact, all they seem to think it takes.

Second result for me was a document about Russian hackers and their demands that we enstate trump as president after he lost.

For real, had they not vetoed the ceasefire in the first place, how many innocent lives might have been saved?

Heh, I guess the sarcasm was lost.
I know all vacuums SHOULD suck, but if it doesn't, then USBC wouldn't hurt, because it can't suck less.

Knew a guy in college who had his thumb nail blown off from plugging a cord in while touching the terminals. Was gross.

nieminen , 5 months ago to Asklemmy in What is the best style electrical outlet?

I mean, that's only true if your vacuum sucks. If it doesn't suck, then USBC shouldn't make a difference.

It's not terribly effective due to the gerrymandering of the voting districts, everyone that is in office is still so because they gerrymander the district to people who vote along party lines, whether or not they know what they're doing.

I get what you mean here, but I MUST point out that many people who live in red states don't believe in the same ideology, or can't get out.

If there were a way to selectively punish the policy makers, and those that support it, I'm game. But this sounds like the same indiscriminate punishment rhetoric that Israel is using. (Please don't take offense, I know it's not how you meant it, just pointing it out)
