....I had been shopping cars for about 8 months as of August. BMW’s of this vintage, and mileage were fairly common, and about $10 grand less - even found some wagons like this one.  This one is simply over priced for what it is, that’s all.  And again, for what $5000 more you’re in NEW car territory.

Six minutes in and we’re at 100% No Dice.

Talented programmer helping shitty dude fix mistakes he should have known not to make in the first place. Sounds like Hotz can get fucked too.

I have a special interest in my uterus and can't be trusted to make unbiased decisions about it. They have a more respectable general interest in controlling all uteruses. Fair enough. 

GOP: "We're banning abortions wholesale because we KNOW that's what the people want...despite us being too chickenshit to ACTUALLY let their voices be heard on this specific topic."

Hardly surprising. When conservatives are out of power on a national level, they’re all about states’ rights. But the minute they have the means to do so, they pass federal laws taking away the rights of liberal states to govern as they see fit. When precedent is on their side, they’re all about tradition and how you…

Wacky crazily-designed bottles and glasses like that are fun to look at on the shelf at Binny’s while saying “whoa, cool” and then immediately moving past to get the functional and good things you’d actually consider buying.

This shit is such an apt metaphor for current day tech companies. Take two perfectly functional things (fucking GLASSES AND BOTTLES NO LESS), make them substantially less functional but they require you to use some nonsense other thing that only works with these glasses and bottles so that customers have to rebuy…

You’re missing “extra special emergency tax cuts,” like they just did in the UK.

The plan is simple.

Genuine question: Do you think that the progressive left base would show up? I feel like Bernie was the test. He had a lot of support from young voters but young voters didn’t show up for to vote in the primary. The demographics that vote do tend to be more moderate. I’m not sure what is needed to motivate people to…

There is no liberal media bias. The media bias is firmly to the right. They are allowed to control the narrative. I did not believe the “red wave” predictions. Anxiety about the economy has always been present and will always be the leading issue in polls whether the GOP or Dems are in power. This was the first time…

I live in Little Rock. Our incumbent mayor won last night even though our murder rate this year is higher than it was during Banging in the Rock days. Mayor Scott ran against Toyota dealership owner Landers who ran on a tough on crime platform and had the backing of the Fraternal Order of Police. Mayor Scott has been…

Wisconsinite here and I’m very fucking happy that Evers won again.

I wish Democrats had performed better, and think they could have if they had been able to overcome their Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema problem to help more people (obligatory dig at Dems). But I think this result shows how badly out of touch Republicans have become. Fox News is always on at the gym, and I’m amazed at…

Exactly. The ideological lines of the court are drawn, it’s unlikely in this case like her vote would have been the deciding factor so recusing may be the most impactful thing that she could do.

I tend to agree. Mainly because unless she is still pulling a pension or something from having sat on the board, I’m not sure I see the conflict of interest there.

Though, obviously, her connection to Harvard, (having apparently sat on the board that used said admissions standards) is far more direct than Thompson’s…

So sick of the “when they go low, we go high”. When one side is completely shameless and devoid of morals and ethics, going high is the same as saying “ole” and letting the bull obliterate the china shop. When they go low, curbstomp their face in.

Because there is absolutely nothing to gain from not recusing yourself from a case when the outcome is already determined. 

Clarence Thomas will smirk and continue not recusing himself from anything.
