For what it’s worth, they didn’t mention Reddit either

Quest. Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail.

The key comment is his last sentence.

What happened to that law?

What happens at the triple point?

Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.

Agreed, and I’m in that group (sorta)… but it doesn’t take that much travel to realize we’re all much more alike than we’re different.

This is why it’s important to travel.

How do you say she’s in track to lose. All the data I’ve seen makes me optimistic.

I’m not sure if “middleeasteye.net” is a reliable source…

Yeah, the hypocrisy is fucking rife.

I had a similar feeling when they had that Field of Dreams game several in 2021 b/w the ChiSox and Yankees. Kevin fucking Costner walks his ass out to the mound and gives a lovely speech, and didn’t say one god damned word about Shoeless Joe Jackson.

I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.

Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

They have…. That’s why there is a usual trend of bolder actions taken by second term presidents because they’re no longer eligible for candidacy for President.

That’s also why we can’t fuck about with a second Trump term.

The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. There are 26 members: the vice president, 15 department heads, and 10 Cabinet-level officials, all except two of whom require Senate confirmation. During Cabinet meetings, the members sit in the order in which their respective department was created, with the earliest being closest to the president and the newest farthest away.

That’s beside the point though.

Eh… Biden did the same thing several months ago and ran a Dark Brandon ad on their website during a Republican primary debate that they streamed.

The fact of the matter is they are a media outlet that tons of people watch for better or worse. And it’s not like they weren’t going to fill the airtime otherwise with some other advertisements.

Folding in some messaging for Harris-Walz doesn’t seem like a bad use of their campaign funds. Especially because the potential gains are so important. Undecided independents are super important, but removing folks from his base will help provide a mandate from the electorate.

Was that pre ACA? When we had our kid, we only paid a $175 hospital stay copay. Granted… we’re very lucky with the insurance coverage provided by my employer, but we were under the understanding that the reason we didn’t have OBGYN copays and otherwise throughout the pregnancy was because the ACA made sure it was covered.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Not so many among us who take these words seriously anymore…
