@hunterking Depending on the owner, he could stay until the end of the season if he’s cheap but I really don’t know. But that coach shouldn’t have come back this season in my opinion.
Just chiming in on the rare #uspol hashtag by saying I’m convinced the DJT’s family hates him and the #gop is using him as a means to get to all the political power in this country. #uspolitics#democrats#democracy
Wish there was a cheap, easily obtained full spec Command Flight-Deck Carrier I could recommend to people. You really do need as many weapon slots *and* hangar bays as you can get with a support ship. #StarTrekOnline
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday would not commit to calling Congress back into session before the election -- after President Joe Biden pressed congressional leaders about potential funding shortfalls in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Johnson was asked about Biden’s letter to congressional leaders on Friday requesting more money for federal disaster recovery efforts -- and after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that the department doesn’t have enough money to get through the rest of hurricane season.
In his letter, the president urged Congress to restore funding to the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program, which was facing potential funding shortfalls even before Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the Southeast. The president noted that the White House requested more funding for the program as Congress prepared a short-term funding bill that passed last month to avert a government shutdown. Pressed on whether he would call Congress back into session before the election, Johnson replied, “We’ll be back in session immediately after the election.” “That’s 30 days from now. The thing about these hurricanes and disasters of this magnitude is it takes a while to calculate the actual damages, and the states are going to need some time to do that,” Johnson said
As others have said, it’s a very different space to Twitter. It took me a while to figure it out. Coming up for two years now, and I’ve followed interesting people, made new friends, and reacquainted myself with old ones. This is home now.i don’t fret about follower numbers.
I might suggest you just start posting thoughts, comments, links - like that other place - and people will find you. What is it James O'Brien says? Build it and they will come.
The Trump presidency was a test of Republican attitudes toward democracy. Time and again, the president abused his authority in ways that would have been unthinkable under previous presidents. Time and again, members of Congress, state party leaders, right-wing media stars, and rank-and-file voters looked the other way — or even cheered him on.
Two NBC polls taken about a year apart show that support for Trump’s first and second impeachment among Republicans remained exactly the same among Republicans: 8 percent.
Trump was impeached the first time because he tried to interfere with the integrity of the 2020 presidential election — attempting to strong-arm the Ukrainian president into opening up a bogus investigation into Joe Biden. Trump was impeached the second time because he ginned up a mob to attack the Capitol to disrupt the counting of the votes from the Electoral College. And yet in both cases, the percentage of Republicans who supported impeaching him was the same — a measly 8 percent. There’s just very little popular appetite in the GOP for punishing anti-democratic excesses by Trump, regardless of the circumstances.
Milton now has attained Hurricane status with wind speeds of 80 mph.
Current forecast for wind speeds before landfall is 125 mph, which will likely be revised upwards. The track forecast has not changed much.
"Given the track over the very deep warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and little shear for the next couple of days, rapid intensification is explicitly forecast, and the new NHC prediction could still be conservative ..."
And another thing, to the #clevelandbrowns fans out there: get a new owner and maybe things can turn around for you too! And get rid of the rapist! #NFL#nflfootball#Football
"Solidarity is not discovered by reflection but created. It is created by increasing our sensitivity to the particular details of the pain and humiliation of other, unfamiliar sorts of people. Such increased sensitivity makes it more difficult to marginalize people different from ourselves by thinking, 'They do not feel it as we would,' or 'There must always be suffering, so why not let them suffer?'"
Here's something I've noticed in the build-up to several important elections in recent years:
On social media, hostility, destruction of solidarity, frequently picks up precisely at this time, often with people who claim they're promoting progressive or liberal ideals tearing away at others who are also clearly promoting progressive or liberal ideals.
What's this trolling about, I wonder? Trolling is obviously what it is.
