@wifieatscheese In my home state of Louisiana, which is quite red, a lot of people are moving out of the blue areas (New Orleans especially). Also, people forget that California was a deep red until the 90s. Now it’s a deep blue, and people are fleeing in droves.
@wifieatscheese You are correct in that regard that most states with major population centers are blue states. However, there is mass exoduses from those blue states to a lot of those red states. States being wildly different politically isn’t anything new, however.
@NathanMacWinnon Like him or not, he’s been made a near martyr. History loves martyrs. As weird as it sounds, almost dying is a great way to build support.
Sure, that’s understandable…if that was the only time. He has DOZENS of gaffs like this. He is suffering from mental decline from old age. It’s normal, it happens, but he’s the POTUS, not a random citizen. That’s why we care so much.
Joe Biden misspoke today.
He caught himself.
Who hasn’t done that?
Many years ago I was watching my local Channel 4 news and the field reporter was supposed to say “Back to you, Chuck and Sue.”
But instead said, “Suck and Chew.”
Shit happens.
People need to knock it the F off.
@NathanMacWinnon Joe Biden is currently older than 34 former Presidents were when they DIED. He’s about to pass Nixon and if he goes another full term, only 7 Presidents will have ever lived longer than him. He’s 4 years older than George W Bush…who left office in 2008.
@coachjsjohnson@Mikdup_8@Pirates They won’t, modern baseball will never let a pitcher go all the way at that many pitches. That pitch count hits/nearly hits triple digits, they immediately pull the plug regardless of situation. It’s stupid but that’s the game now.
@billsmafiaellie @DThots62839 @RyanMcLeoder McLeod (and others) literally brand themselves through their nicknames. As a Stars fan, they sell robot and otter shirts because of Robo and Otter. If that person hates nicknames so much, hockey isn’t for them because hockey culture is ALL about nicknames.
@DThots62839 @RyanMcLeoder So no Sid the Kid? Ovi? Robo? Otter? Hockey is like, the nickname sport. It’s fun. They’re having fun. Players literally market themselves through their nicknames, they actively want fans to call them by their nickname.
Well good golly, I wonder what major global event was going on 4 years ago that would’ve caused an economic downturn, I just can’t place it. That’d be like someone in 1863 going “Buchanan didn’t have us in this mess 4 years ago! Now look what’s happening under Lincoln!”
@1045espn@SECUnfiltered@VernFunquistCFB@MichaelWBratton@MattMoscona@TBob53 They are putting so much faith in DeBoer year 1. Like, Bama gonna be good but I don’t see them coming into Death Valley and winning. Ole Miss is gonna be really tough, I could see that being an L. I think LSU makes the Playoff.
@Strandjunker Do you ever have a happy thought? A sense of optimism? Do you ever go out into nature and unwind? Read a book? Do anything that isn’t apocalyptic and destructive? No offense but like, get a life.
@piper4missouri Please, for the love of the Founders, look up checks and balances, like, holy shit y’all are idiots. I swear nobody with strong opinions on this app has ever read a US history book.
@RyanMcLeoder I expect the backlash from Oiler Nation and beyond to be bad enough that even if they do (they really, really shouldn’t), it’ll be such bad PR that they’ll pull the plug. Let’s hope it doesn’t even get that far.
We ripped in half geographically and shot each other for 4 years straight at one time. And the guy that put us back together from that got the back of his head blown off. We ain’t doing great, but we’ve been through worse.
@samanthacp_ I feel bad for Oilers fans. Your front office loves hiring scumbags, you just lost the SCF, you didn’t really do much in free agency, and now they might let a predator have a job in the NHL again. No offense, Oiler Nation, but your team is really hard to root for.
The Louisiana Purchase, Lincoln suspending habeus corpus, the Indian Removal Act, Alien and Sedition Acts, internment camps, nuking Japan, all this shit was done “above the law”. This is a nothing burger of nothing burgers. Read a damn history book for God’s sake.
I really need people to stop downplaying this SCOTUS immunity decision.
This isn’t a small matter. It’s a big fucking deal. Like, a potentially Republic-defining big fucking deal.
The GOP should be just as outraged — because this shit applies to Dem POTUS as well — but they’re too busy owning the libs to think about the consequences.
We’ve always lived by the idea that nobody is above the law.
This decision changes that; this decision fundamentally alters our system of government. Now, nobody is above the law except for the most powerful person on the planet.
If only there were a word for that.
@piper4missouri Oh shut the ever loving fuck up, lady. Holy god. Neither Biden nor Trump is the next H*tler. Jesus H, man, as a history lover, this shit pains me.
@nhltwts He big (6 foot 7), he block shot, he kill penalties. You’re not getting a point producer, you’re getting the DEFENSE in defenseman. Also, he’s a late round draft pick and really had to grind his way to the NHL so he’s an underdog good guy.
