Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office
  • He did it for a number of good reasons, mainly to leave the opportunity to continue the investigation later. Not a likely outcome at any point, but if they fire him they can also get rid of the case in ways they can't if he resigns.

  • Young people are struggling to deal with their MAGA parents — again
  • Girls say they won't let guys smash like they used to also. Fuck it. Pour on the punishments at this point. The more the better. Boomers can pay, young bros can pay. We're all going to suffer once those tariffs start. Let's channel that frustration.

  • Can't believe you held it down. I did it with chocolate milk and barfed it all out like 15 min later. Still cold. Still tasted like chocolate milk. I'm confident it was the least unpleasant puking experience of my entire life including the parts that haven't happened yet.

  • Trump wins.
  • the next four years

    We really may have just voted for the last time. I'll be thrilled if this only sucks for the next 4 years.

    Really though we're fucked for the next 30-40 years based on the Supreme Court alone. Expecting Roberts to retire while Trump can name a younger, more bat-shit replacement. Possibly the same for Thomas and Alito.

  • Kamala Harris Pulled Off a Miracle | The fact that the election is a toss-up, rather than a Trump landslide, is a testament to the vice president’s political skills
  • I 100% agree except why is it that "Democrats dropped the ball"?

    Democrats aren't voting for a fascist. Their politicians are not enabling a fascist. The Democratic voting base hasn't been bamboozled by 30+ years of obvious propaganda pretending to be news.

    Christians dropped the ball. Conservative immigrants dropped the ball. Legit news media dropped the ball. Large corporations and wealthy individuals dropped the ball... on purpose.

    Democrats work on harm reduction because we don't give them enough votes to make meaningful changes. A 1 or 2 vote margin isn't enough to vote around the moles like Manchin and Sinema.

  • The Giant Asterisk on Election Betting
  • They assert that how people bet, whether on the benign (who will be the next James Bond?) or the consequential (will Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire before the end of the year?), can help forecast the future. Because there’s money involved, the thinking goes, these prediction markets leverage the collective wisdom of what people actually think will occur, not what they hope will.

    DJT stock ticker would like a word.

    jk We all know the DJT stock is overvalued because of money laundering and selling access rather than "collective wisdom".

  • 'We are essentially in a new Gilded Age’: As workers get laid off, CEOs and shareholders gobble up hundreds of billions in profits
  • Wasn't speaking to your specific home value. I was adding to the point that every homeowner is not a millionaire.

    If someone has a house worth $350,000 but they've only paid off $50,000 from the principal, then they aren't worth $350,000. I'd argue they're not even worth $300,000.

    Miss a few payments, and they lose the house plus whatever payments they'd already made. That's not personal wealth. We're just living in the bank's house until it's paid off and the deed gets transferred.
