The only reason they haven’t done even better than that is 80% of their time in office is busy fixing the last Republican fuckup before the public gets a chance to go and elect more Republicans again

And the price of groceries will skyrocket 3x and everyone will say “I can’t believe Biden could do this to me”

Well they’re making plenty more of that to go around

How is it that you, me, everybody, everybody’s cousin, and also the FBI were all fully aware that Trump & Co were guaranteed going to try and cheat the election, and yet the first moment all the republican electors come out and say “Yep Trump wins!! We promise!!” everyone is just accepting this as fact?

I have severe doubts about the validity of these numbers for at least the next several weeks. Republicans have proven repeatedly that they are not going to play fair in any fashion. I don’t believe a damn thing they tell me without receipts for it and we’ve got until January to produce the receipts.

This guy doesn’t know about second midnight

That sounds like an awesome gig for 99% of the time and an absolute bitch and a half the 1% of the time you’re needed.

Really, it was a nice idea but failed when subject to bad actors.

God, if that isn’t just the story of our fuckin’ lives…

Anyone who says that phrase in my presence at any point for the rest of my life is getting punched right in the mouth.

Then you want to be upset with the Republican held House of Representatives who drafted a bill to prevent this when Biden tried to do it the first time, explicitly going against established US law and also illegally withholding salary from any government official who tries to challenge it.

Here’s the bill which has already passed in the House, voted Yea by 208 Republicans (3 nay, 6 abstaining) and voted Nay by 184 Democrats (16 Yea, 13 abstain).

Here’s the vote tally if you’d like to write some letters about it to your local representatives.

I personally know at least three people that would also just adopt the raccoon if they came up to the door

I mean, for someone whose primary way of expressing themselves to the world is via webcomics, I think that drawing a webcomic about your trauma is a reasonable response to the grief. Everyone grieves in their own way, and Loss in particular was a stand out because it’s so very different to the rest of CAD. There’s no dialogue. There’s no silly joke. It is obvious to the reader that something awful has happened here. Using art to cope with grief is a tradition as old as art.

The rest of it though, yeah, fuck Tim Buckley. I just don’t really agree with the internet-wide dunking that the original Loss comic was given. It was obvious to me at the time that the man was grieving, and I kind of feel bad that that expression of genuine grief was turned into a meme that people still joke about 16 years later.

Based on the existing Spider-Man’s power compared to that of an actual spider, Wolf-Spider-Man would just be an actual xenomorph.

And didn’t even fucking read the article they are attempting to use as ammunition, to boot, the article specifically denies the point they’re trying to make

You’re giving them money and engagement with which to continue. Having your eyes on that content and then returning the next day to see more is explicit approval of that content. And having those ads served to you makes Elon money which he then uses to serve more ads to everyone.

Essentially, visiting X is paying Elon real dollars directly and telling him thank you for the propaganda, may I please have another

There is absolutely no situation in which I would be okay with one of these people being in a leadership position. They’ve proven that they can’t be bothered to do the basic citizen’s duty of caring about politics enough to cast a vote at all, and you want to put them in charge of operating the government? No.

Foreign money in US elections used to be illegal. A law that isn’t getting enforced isn’t a real law.

Tell that to the power vacuum left behind after…

Why would Putin benefit from having a Russian plant as the presidential candidate of the Green Party? Does he mistakenly think the Green Party has some influence in American politics?

They aren’t intended to win, they’re intended to do exactly what they’re doing - selecting particular wedge issues to split the Democrat vote and give them a lower total percentage vs Republicans, the other main player. In this case the Green Party was originally set up to champion environmental issues, hence their name, but have also been a convenient shunt for the Israel/Palestine situation and Harris’ percieved refusal to budge on such.

Everyone involved knows that a third party has no realistic chance of victory in the US, so setting up a third-party honeypot to gather passionate far-left voters away from the Democrat vote is a potent power move for the Republican party. Every percent point lost by the Democrats is one gained for the Republicans, even if the point doesn’t go to them. With margins as thin as they usually are, this is significant. Putin in particular cares about this because Trump is vocally friendly towards him and Democrats and their voters are not.

And how could he known his plant would be selected by the party as their presidential candidate? Is he psychic? Is the entire Green Party comprised of Russian plants?

I can’t find proof of this with a cursory web search, but it’s suspected that the entire Green Party is primarily funded via Russian interests. If nothing else it is known factually that Jill Stein has attended at least one private dinner with Russian heads of state and has appeared on Russian state media propaganda quite a lot. I doubt the entire party is a Russian op but significant portions of its leadership including candidate Stein are pretty clearly compromised.

If his goal was for the Greens to be a spoiler for the Dems, surely they’d be just as much of a spoiler no matter who their candidate was. In fact, without Stein, they could probably find a better candidate and be more of a spoiler.

Personally I feel that Stein may just be more who they got rather than who they wanted, and this may be where the plan is starting to fall apart. A truly passionate, honest far-left firecracker candidate probably would be an excellent spoiler, and pull many honest far-left votes, but they also wouldn’t be susceptible to foreign influence. They’re choosing to take the bird in the hand, rather than two in the bush, and Stein is who they’ve got that they can control.

At the end of the day Putin has a very clear motive to help Trump win his election at all costs and the leadership of the Green Party has been shown to have been in close contact with Moscow. It may not matter materially whether or not she is a Russian plant at this time. But it does matter because it is yet another avenue for hostile foreign interference with our election.

This is news to me, thank you

You say : the type is dynamic We hear : the type is imaginary
