Based on what?

No, they probably couldn’t. If you’re off-putting to people, which I am (though I’m not an incel; to be one, you really have to blame women for your situation, which requires seeing them as objects, which I do not do) then “dropping your standards” just doesn’t help. 1s or 2s (whatever that really means) aren’t going…

My several-times-great-grandfather died on a Confederate prison ship, and I say, no f*cking thanks.

I don’t think you would like living in a world where bullying people out of politics in that manner is the norm.

I read his diary, and while he may always have been a terrible speller...good lord. I don’t think the Alzheimer’s helped, is all I’m saying...

I wouldn’t assume that she has a clear motivation at this point. Once you’re that far gone...

Yup. Reagan started to go at a much younger age...

Is it that bad if one of the three you mentioned is appointed? The Dems are already in the minority, and their districts were all 60%+ for Biden. I could see it being unfair, but can’t see any real potential for loss.

Agreed. If I think about my grandmother’s changes in health following that age...

The irony is that his username comes from the most polluted, toxic river in Australia...

I’m getting a “John-Lennon’s-lyrics-got-Stranger-than-Fiction’d” vibe, myself.

He forgot his dog!

Do you sincerely think this bothers the Democrats? CA/IL/NJ/NY are simply too blue to be affected by even massive outflows among black voters, and the loss of Wisconsin easily gets offset by the addition of Georgia.

“That slap wouldn’t have resulted in jail time anywhere I have ever been, so stop making it some sort of felony.”

I would strongly recommend someone with a lot of instrumental (as opposed to solely vocal) experience. So Questlove, Jon Batiste, or my personal favourite of your suggestions, Darius Rucker.

The old warden of Angola State Prison in Louisiana said the same thing—that he would actually trust most of the inmates to sleep in the same house as his family, but NEVER the sex offenders. 

I remember a podcast where Eric Garcetti (ex-mayor of L.A.) said that a mayor absolutely has to deliver on the basic things like public safety, schools etc before moving onto the more long-term projects, because voters won’t trust you with the latter if you can’t address the former. It looks like Ms. Lightfoot found…

I barely believed it until I’d seen the actual quote. It was so outlandish that I assumed that the journalists reporting on it were exaggerating, or “interpreting” what they thought the real meaning was, when they paraphrased. 

I have to figure most of those (which are funny) are fake or tongue-in-cheek. There’s no way posting that about yr spouse online doesn’t move the needle pretty far towards couples’ counselling or divorce.

I think there are two categories of people who are up in arms here.
