As long as I can remember, Republicans would inevitably crash the economy, Democrats would set it back on a good course (which of course takes a while), and the Republicans would go and crash it again. They got pretty good at timing the crash so it was right as they were leaving power.

This is my favorite thread of the day. I learned something, and it brought back memories of plugging one of these into my parents '87 Buick LeSabre wagon. Complete with wood grain panels. Yeah, I didn't date much back then.

Basically, they just need enough States to withhold submitting valid slates of electors, which are due on Dec 11th. If that doesn't happen, and it lowers the amount of electoral college voters enough so no single candidate has a majority, then the US House gets to decide.
In other words, we're fully reliant on GOP controlled States doing the right thing. We're fucked.
Damn dude, there's not enough xanax in the world to help me cope with that mental image.
I found the NYT's sanewashing of Trump irresponsible, so I took my WaPo subscription to The Guardian. It's a sad reflection on the US when a foreign paper has better reporting than any domestic source.

This is a complete sanewashing article... Roberts read all the dissents, he knew exactly what he was doing. Putting Trump above the law.
Florida (desantis) recently enacted concealed carry, so I'll be curious to see what law this nut actually broke.
I mean for me, just hearing him say he has "concepts of a plan" for the US healthcare system was enough for me. Get that monorail bill installed NOW.
Remember when NBC hired Kelly in 2017, she gave Putin a platform to spread his propaganda, she got demoted, and then eventually fired for racism? Who could have guessed that she was just another maga conspiracy nut?
And then I saw one of the Big Foots and the Big Foot looked at me.
Hit by a suspected drunk driver while cycling with his brother. What a loss.

I hate that the press never mentions that it was Trump who agreed to release 5000 Taliban fighters before the attack on the airport at Kabul.

He doesn’t look like a movie star. He doesn’t act like one, either. And if a role requires DeVito to disrobe and get ‘greased up like a halibut,’ so be it.
STOCKHOLM—Lauding the man as one of the greatest minds working in medicine today, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences reportedly awarded 54-year-old Facebook user Darren Weston the Nobel Prize Monday for his own extensive internet research into the dangers of Covid vaccinations. “We are proud to a...

"Ohio sticks out — for all the wrong reasons. Roughly 1 in 5 Ohioans will die before they turn 65, according to Montez’s analysis using the state’s 2019 death rates. The state, whose legislature has been increasingly dominated by Republicans, has plummeted nationally when it comes to life expectancy rates, moving from middle of the pack to the bottom fifth of states during the last 50 years, The Post found. Ohioans have a similar life expectancy to residents of Slovakia and Ecuador, relatively poor countries."
