Biden could trot out as a half-rotten corpse and I'd still vote for him over a serial liar and traitor to our nation.

Fyi: people often take out more than one loan, and leave the lowest interest federal loans for last...

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

The Court has to know that ruling a former President immune for breaking the law isn't a viable decision.

Like, it would immediately make any sitting President a king, and supercede the Court's power.

Which is why they'll wait, but rule he isn't immune. Not because it's the right thing, but because doing otherwise would make the Court less, and they're selfish fucks that want to be on top.

That's all well and good, but remember,

concurring opinion

...is what matters at the end of the day.

I think we can all agree Liz (and Jack) are pretty racist.

Standing up in the face of oppression and bigotry is the point.

Because Trump pardoned him.

I think an "arms race" that forever expands the court -- and thus dilutes the individual relevance of a single Justice -- is a good thing.

A single Justice dying or retiring should not be the sort of thing to reshape the entire country.

In this case, remembering standing means they don't have to double down and rule on abortion itself again.

The answer to, "How do I delete someone else's comment?" turned out to be, "$44 billion."

When I manage to get a time machine, I'm jumping back, grabbing Paul, and dropping him off in the middle of a 70s era orgy. That dude needs to get high and get his brains fucked out.

my mom mostly stays downstairs and her friend mostly stays upstairs

So you're saying your mom is a bottom? /s

"Training data"

I have frequently complained that the cat doesn't do anything useful except generate poo, and what can I do with that?

My demands to get a job are met with disdain.

Altruism is never going to be the way to get companies to do the right thing. Instead, making the wrong thing a financial liability is.

It's only new-feeling cause it's been 20-some years since we've had a democratic control of most parts of the government.

It's pretty neat, right?

There are no hard requirements for being president beyond those listed in the Constitution:

1. Be a natural born US citizen
2. Be at least 35 years old
3. Have resided in the US for 14 or more years.

That's it. The framers of the Constitution presumably felt being a convicted felon would be enough for an electorate (or the electoral college, at least) to simply not vote for that person.

History will forget her.

How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?

I'd look to a show like The Good Place for a perfect balance.

It absolutely matters if you haven't seen previous episodes, but each episode is still, on it's own, great.
