Substantive progress on the environment, social justice, education, economic opportunity and healthcare...that would be amazing. But the first two years of the Biden administration are going to be spent picking up the pieces from the past four years, and any one of those issues could easily eat up the last couple…

I get doing a dirty keto diet because it lets you eat a ton of bacon and cheese without any guilt (except for the cruelty and environmental impact of animal agriculture). But even then...you still gotta eat some leafy greens, avocados and nuts.

Six or eight months ago, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you. There were the better choices. But the rest of the Democratic primary voters disagreed, and this is what we’ve got to work with now.

This.

It’s riding the bus, not getting married. I feel like that gets lost in a lot of political discourse.

Seeing as how water is already reaching critical levels across the desert SW and through SoCal due ever-increasing population growth and continuous fights with upstream agricultural interests, this seems...poorly thought out.

The only way a college football season could go off without COVID complications would be if the players were effectively put in a bubble. The NBA has done that pretty effectively so far with their abbreviated season and all of the players being isolated on Disney property with no contact with the outside world for the…

In fairness, Gary Johnson being high for most of his interviews and campaign events was at least consistent with the libertarians’ stance on legalization.

Because unless you’re a dog or a cat, rabies isn’t a routine vaccine in the US. Maybe if you work with wild animals (veterinarian, dog catcher, fish & game warden, etc.) it’s part of the job...but most people don’t get it.

Work from home was great at first. No commute, no dealing with my annoying coworkers in adjacent cubes, complete flexibility with my wardrobe, leftovers and beer for lunch. But after almost 5 months...I feel like the tables have turned and I live at work now. The workload keeps getting more and more ridiculous,…

I think Duckworth’s the logical choice in that her Senate seat wouldn’t be at risk if she took the role, she’s ready to be POTUS the day after inauguration if Uncle Joe strokes out from the excitement, and the disabled vet angle would be enough to tip a fair number of conservative never-Trumpers from just sitting out…

🤷‍♂️

No worries. Figured as much. I’m still just grumpy about having to deal with blatant voter suppression.

The fact that Mr McCarter and his fellow Twitch streamers did this for his school is admirable, and speaks well of the character of all involved.

Hey, now - some of us are just temporary Republicans because we live in states with closed primaries and there are local elections that get decided in the primary (because one of the dirtbags running will inevitable have one of their buddies register as a sham Dem write-in candidate, for the sole purpose of keeping…

How messed up do you have to be to watch this movie? More importantly, how messed up do you have to be to *make* this movie?

Yes and no. You’re right in that hearts and minds aren’t going to be swayed at this point. People are either voting for or against Trump. Anyone who’s “undecided” at this point is either living under a rock or is tacitly admitting they’ve just stopped giving a damn.

As long as Biden doesn’t break his promise to nominate a woman for VP (which would be a PR nightmare), I can’t imagine him picking anyone catastrophically bad enough to sink his chances of winning.

If this administration’s worst ethics violation was hawking shitty Latinx canned and boxed goods full of salt, sugar and MSG, we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in now.

“Ugh!  Can’t you travel agents and bartenders just like, code or something instead?”
