Agreed. It's pretty telling that none of these corporations would accept an open ended arbitration clause in their dealings with any other corporation.

Everybody who voted for Biden didn't even vote for Biden. The 2020 election wasn't about Biden or Harris, it was about Trump.

Bernie is old, but not in the way that Trump or Biden are old. Listen to Bernie speak and he is as sharp as ever. We really fucked up in the 2020 primary.

I still think Biden is solid enough to do the job. A modern president is really just a spokesperson for an entire administration, and Biden has an incredibly capable group of people supporting him. I have a lot of problems with his administration's positions on a multitude of issues, but they are certainly competent.

On the other hand, Trump is a lifelong idiot dictator. His last administration was a trash fire. He went through four chiefs of staff in one term, and most other key positions were just as bad. Running an administration like that puts a lot more stress on the executive and requires tons of competence. Trump is not competent and doesn't have a history of making great decisions under stress.

Fuck an incel to save democracy. /s This timeline is wild.

I wasn't as clear as I thought. Since you and I don't get to choose the nominee, what's the plan to get Biden replaced on the ballot?

Bill Gates and George Soros are a pretty obvious examples.

The only notable counter-examples are rich celebrities that give them permission to be shitty, like Trump and Elon.

The largest air force in the world is the US Air Force. The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy.

Fraudulent prosecution is a thing, so this particular prosecution is fraudulent. Hmmm, seems like you missed a few steps there.

Look at the documents case. They bent over backwards to try and get those documents back quietly and let Trump off the hook. If you or I had those documents, we wouldn't even be given the opportunity to hand them over. We would have SWAT coming through our door, and we would be hauled straight to solitary. A two tiered Justice system exists, but it isn't what folks like you think.

That's the end of my patience for taking you seriously.

you ever wonder why this trial is happening now, not a couple years ago?

Each trial is unique, but there are two general reasons. First, in cases of large criminal networks, it's typical to prosecute Lieutenants first and move up the chain, and that's what has happened. That maximizes the ability of prosecutors to collect information before striking at the top. Second, Trump has no real defense on these cases, so his entire strategy has been delay, delay, delay. He wants to win the presidency and make the charges go away by whatever means he can muster.

I suspect it's less about NASA itself than it is about our dysfunctional Congress. There is no unification over the mission coming from the top, just infighting over who's districts get the most pork, and which politicians rub elbows with which contractors.

ideas of restoring the ethnic makeup of geographic areas to the way they were in a history book.

This has to be the most myopic statement I have ever read.

You can't have people getting everything they want after using violence because it would be non-stop war

Nevermind

I'll bet there are going to be some great deals for these on the used market when whatever cool factor there is collapses.
