JD Vance as an Elliot Ness-Like fraud cop is a role that suits him, I think. The VP job, performed traditionally, is stuffy and ceremonial and inert. I like the man-of-action version better, issuing warnings, swooping in on raids, briefing the public on the recovered loot.
People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.
What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.
If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
Salas is 1000% an option lol.
20 year old catcher with GG caliber defense and an OPS over .850 in AA.
Freddy Fermin legitimately cannot hit the baseball.
It’s malpractice to put him out there on a consistent basis.
RFK Jr. is not going to ban antidepressants.
What he is doing is opening up a conversation that our culture has avoided for far too long.
A conversation about informed choice.
That means honest discussions around side effects, long term outcomes, and what happens when someone decides they no longer want to take these medications and needs support getting off of them safely.
Last week, a video of Ella Emhoff speaking about her experience with antidepressants went viral. She described spending much of her life on these medications while never being given a clear path off of them.
Her story resonated with people across the political spectrum because this issue reaches far beyond partisan politics.
Many of us grew up believing that the way to feel seen and understood in our pain was through diagnosis and medication.
Now more and more people are beginning to step back and ask whether this framework has truly helped us in the long term.
