  1. I still think it's extremely funny that someone stole Swam's name on the switch to Surly and I think he got so mad about it he just bailed? IIRC Swam did actually create a different name here and posted for a bit but disappeared pretty quickly. I could be wrong, but I've never gotten the sense he's one of the DT posters here under a new name.
  2. There's no pushing out a SCOTUS justice. It's 100% their choice. The most Biden can do is guarantee she can pick her replacement if she retires before the next election and remind her of the possible downsides if she doesn't. Which she's well aware of I'm sure, after Ginsburg. I sure fucking hope someone in the administration is communicating with her about her plans, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they're really not.
  3. Let's not forget that he voted against impeaching Trump. That's a huge goddamn red flag.
  4. It's an audition for one of CNN's 500 "token" conservative spots.
  5. There could still be some shadow docket fuckery that allows these states to use illegal maps for another election.
  6. Alito might be an even more sniveling pissbaby than Trump.
  7. Yeah, after Harvey trash pickup was always late for over a year. That improved but recycling has been late every single pickup week ever since, and yard waste seems to be completely random now. I get the reasons, but the lack of improvement is frustrating. Lina endorsing SJL and Hollins dropping out of the race are pretty clearly due to some pressure from the national party. I'll never understand why SJL has such sway with party leadership.
  8. I have a bit of a different take on the right's isolationist bent. It's not that there isn't one, but it's half a lie. Except for an infinitesimally small minority, those same "isolationists" fully supported the Afghanistan and Iraq wars until it became clear how badly things were going. They would gladly send American troops all over the world to slaughter millions of people. Many of those "isolationists" on the right would love for American troops to have behaved in Afghanistan and Iraq like Russian troops are behaving in Ukraine, and they would love to see us turn Iran into glass. What they oppose is "nation building," using American troops to help build up and protect friendly governments overseas. They don't realize that the whole point of that is to benefit American businesses. There are extremely valid critiques of using US forces for this purpose, but right-wing isolationists don't share those critiques, they think it's either misguided liberal altruism or Jewish conspiracies to undermine the American volk. They're not really isolationist, they just disagree with what they think is the purpose of most US foreign policy as enacted by whatever they see as the establishment (usually Jews). The only thing they would support more enthusiastically than some truly barbaric attacks on foreign countries is using American troops to commit barbaric attacks on their political opponents here at home.
  9. Hello TwiceHorn, you've just awoken from a very long coma. I have some troubling news for you about some things you've missed.
  10. Sister Wembanyama intentionally flashed the whole world. She seems fun.
  11. If it does, we'll need to be out in front of the conspiracy theories. If we're lucky, we could convince half his followers that it was the other half that killed him.
  12. They've been marinating in a far-right information bubble for decades. That shit turns even the smartest conservative brains to mush, and Alito was never that smart.
  13. Great, no power here in Westbury. Where’d this fucking storm even come from?
  14. It’s pretty obvious that by the time he was six it was clear to the person who knew him best that he was satan incarnate.
  15. They hope to get a Republican elected, just like always.
  16. We need to dedicate all available resources to finding this sub, bringing it back up to the surface, and stuffing David Concannon in it and dropping it back to the bottom of the ocean.
  17. Cornel's green party run is a much more serious threat to Biden's re-election than RFK Jr.'s grift.
  18. By executing all crypto miners? I like the cut of your jib.
  19. Should expand it to 25, but 13 is a good start.
  20. Pissbaby Sam Alito has been enjoying “hospitality” too: I’m sure this isn’t indicative of which justice has been leaking stuff to the WSJ for years.
