I would have voted for Pikachu

FYI, Newt Gingrich has a Ph.D. in European History…

Maybe he can reprise Captain Hammer and do a song and dance number in the Superhero Retirement Home.

But you don’t understand! Some of those Charizards were shiny!

Well, there is some wiggle room, as the date of Federal elections is determined by Congress. The current election date is set by statute. So, it can be rescheduled with a statute as well.

However, the term of Congress is set by the Constitution. And House seats, in particular, must be assigned based on election results. If the election is postponed into the New Year, then all House seats would be vacant. So if a Federal law either abolishes or postpones elections so they cannot be certified in time for the new Congress to convene, States would immediately challenge, and Blue states would probably hold the election on time anyway, anticipating a ruling in their favor. We may end up with a new Congress controlled by Democrats, only because Red states never held elections.

It would get a fast track to the Supreme Court, and then who knows? The outcome might depend on what gratuities are promised by both sides…

He realizes exactly what’s going on, he’s counting on it. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is working through back channels to ensure that Iran launches a major terrorist attack in October. He needs that to try to cancel elections.

Zelenskyy has been President all this time, after all, because they suspended elections while his country is being actively invaded. Trump heard this and thinks it can work here, too. It shouldn’t work here, but who knows? Congress has abdicated it’s ability to declare war to the President, they might just concede their ability to schedule elections too.

Well, Trump did pledge $10 Billion of US money to his Board of Peace, which is kind of his personal slush fund…

My #1 tip for stopping media addiction is to turn off notifications. There is simply nothing going on that requires your immediate attention. It can wait until you have time to check. Try it!

Right, but a lot of Catholics voted MAGA last time around, solely on the basis of abortion policy. Not realizing that Catholics have always been on The List. Maybe after pregnant women, immigrants, and trans folks. But eventually, MAGA is coming for them too.

“And I have to tell you, Wilf, I have a teenager who’s considering military service. And I could give this teen my highest compliment from President Trump to the head of the Joint Chiefs to the secretary of War,” he added, referring to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “I would trust my child’s life in their hands.”

I wonder what the kid thinks. (And what he really thinks, not what he tells his dad)

That’s chump change compared to his war

I am afraid to ask what Donald Trump thinks are the services a good “escort” provides…

Honestly, I’m just surprised this is the first time someone has dared to put a phone SOC in a laptop chassis.

I’m probably missing something fundamental, but isn’t this just a Chromebook?

I’m kind of hoping the rest of the world wakes up and realizes that sending teams to the US to compete right now us just as bad as sending teams to Russia. The world should boycott it, and let the US claim its trophy after the Saudis field the only other team.

Wasn’t he going to go into politics and be someone’s VP candidate? I remember joking that they should start calling the Jets O-Line the “Secret Service”…

The article lists an insane revenue of $1.6B, yet the losses are only on the order of $42M in the last 3 months. Against that much revenue, it looks to me like they are managing the company at a slight loss on purpose. They probably could close that gap if they wanted to, but have some favorable tax implications or something by running that “slight” loss.

(And who knows, maybe this is part of the attempt to close that gap and show a profit before the founders cash out and it all gets sold to a Shittier company)

It’s possible either the US or Israel had some extremely timely intelligence on the location of the old leader, and the new one is just being more careful…

there are 69 current representatives and senators who are retiring

Nice!

Haha, Philly might be the one place on Earth that is more hostile to Trump than Iran…

I just use the same combination that I have on my luggage
