Republicans can’t, though. I mean Trump started a literal insurrection on Jan 6 to try and overturn the last election. Do you really think he’ll just bow out gracefully if he somehow looses the primary?
Being elected because your a genuinely awful person is not an indication of intelligence.
He really is as stupid as people say. Look at all the stupid shit he says. That’s not an intelligent person speaking. His sound bites sound even dumber in context than out. Like that time he very seriously suggested injecting bleach as a cure for Covid.
And no. Trump’s ego won’t let him take a back seat to anyone. Again: he incited an insurrection to over turn the last election. He’s a sore looser and will absolutely go scorched earth if he’s not handed the nomination (and/or looses the ‘24 election)
Canada will be the first nation to start printing warnings directly onto individual cigarettes in a bid to deter young people from starting smoking and encourage others to quit....
Kind of depends on the vape, the chemicals in the cartridges and how hot they get.
Generally speaking though, inhaling chemical aerosols into your lungs is bad. Most of the “it’s better” research is brought to you by the vaping industry itself . “No, no, it’s totally harmless. Honest!”
usually by way of vaping. teens only really start with cigarettes or other tobacco if their parents smoke, these days. And for the record, you can get addicted to nicotine off 2nd hand smoke if your around it enough.
The answer is tricky, according to legal experts. Generally, politicians cannot spend campaign money on legal expenses unless they are tied to a campaign, but many of the investigations involving Trump relate to his conduct as president and as a political candidate....

They’re just children, who haven’t learned the best way to get into some one’s pants is to buy them flowers and stuff. They’re still in the “throw rocks at people you want to bang” stage
lamb is the young animal. Sheep raised for meat don’t live long enough to not be lamb, though. old animals tend to produce tougher meat. (as apposed to sheep raised for wool production.)
one of my english teachers in highschool was actually ESL, and from Croatia. She spoke like seven or eight languages, though. It was funny, because occasionally she’d just slip into whatever random language.
She also liked to swear in french. it was truly hair raising. Incidentally, she also refused to use the ‘standard’ books reading. She’d probably get banned in half the country these days, but she genuinely was probably the best English teacher I’ve had. also the best french teacher ;)
Yeah. I mean, I don’t think I ever made a huge deal over it. there were definitely jerks that did though. (and also trolled her to the point of swearing in other languages… I felt bad about that. Especially looking back because I don’t think school admin had her back with those kids.)
I’d rather have viable potential for 5+ candidates running so that there’s more options than [the corporate sell outs] and [the regressive assholes that want to bring back slavery and institute puritanical christian theocracy while selling us off to the same corporations].
basically I’d like to have somebody that actually represents me.
I don’t disagree with that statement. There’s also something to be said with exploring how we actually elect people to positions. Especially president/vice pres tickets.
Look, I didn’t say it was an easy thing to achieve. I said it’s a dream I have.
Probably a pipe dream given current political realities. it really would be nice, though, to have people that we’re voting for based on their merits. and not because of the other idiot’s objectionable qualities. “The lesser of 2 evils” voting style is exactly why we’re in this place.
congress can- if they pull their heads out of their asses- impose ethics on the supreme court. States can go to ranked choice voting simply by doing it. Term limits would likely have to take an amendment.
yes. we can fix it. Will it be easy? absolutely not because these assholes built a system to share power between the two parties specifically because sharing power was more advantageous than risking people that would not maintain the status quo in. (No, this isn’t a “both sides” argument. the republicans being objectively, subjectively and in any other way you care to measure it genuinely awful people, does not mean the democrats aren’t assholes, too.)
just… like… get some of your own LOX before a big family picnic or something and drop the meme day of. but then bring the LOX to the picnic and play with it. It’s super corrossive (literally the most oxidizing thing we know of… gee wonder why.) but it’ll tickle everyone’s inner pyro
…this is how it begins. next, you’ll have an entire warehouse dedicated to storing terrain tiles and figures. and your partner only tolerates it because they’re selling older tiles behind your back and you haven’t noticed it…
