At least one member of the Republican National Committee is working to slow Donald Trump’s attempted takeover of the organization by pushing to keep the committee neutral until Trump is officially the presidential nominee and avoid picking up his legal bills....
Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I’m not sure there’s actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.
True, but the Democratic party isn’t putting Biden forth because he’s the best they’ve got. He is the white candidate that is minimally objectionable to most voters, especially those who voted for Trump out of spite and rage after eight years of Obama, and so is mostly likely to get the votes.
A woman who left the United Kingdom to join ISIS at the age of 15 has lost her Court of Appeal challenge over the decision to remove her British citizenship....
Is Begum stateless? I thought that the UN “Conventional relating to the status of stateless persons” forbids the removal of citizenship that renders a person stateless. She may have to return to the UK to face criminal charges due to her cooperation with a terrorist group, but I do not think the UK is allowed by the Convention to revoke her citizenship.
An English-Latin phrasebook, a survival manual explaining how to recognize plants, grow food, handle livestock, set traps, and make simple shelter, e-reader loaded with modern books and a usb solar panel, a multitool, sewing kit, a small dagger, cerium/magnesium flint, first-aid kit, antibiotics, water treatment (Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione), preservative and neutralizer (sodium metabisulfite), salt, potassium chloride, peanut butter.
But I’d probably be quickly ambushed and killed nonetheless, or hauled off to the slave markets.
The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la...
They’re going to impeach Biden, and the Senate will not convict. The Republicans get something to rile up their base, because governing is now theater.
It’s just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can’t seem to resolve his deep insecurity.

I listen to classical, WETA or WFMT or WCPE by default. Sometimes I listen to college radio to hear stuff I don’t know about. Today I listened to a concert by Tom Waits in 1977.

Perhaps the MAGA base is finally running out of money for their champion to piss away. Though if they had any more, I’m sure Trump would be willing to spend to his very last supporter.
During a visit to lobby legislators on transgender issues, Senator Carden Summers ® knelt down and told a child he would protect her. When he learned she was trans, he backed away....
If Summers was really serious about “protecting” trans children, he should have said he was going to place the child into state custody. If there was an actual threat against the child, that’s what he should do, but there is not and Summers knows it.
Disney obviously did not run their message announcing Carano’s dismissal through HR, and it will cost them. Carano probably has a good case for defamation because of the way she was dismissed. This was very careless on Disney’s part and has left them open to retaliation. They could have simply announced the departure and left it at that. Future employers should take note that if you dismiss someone, say as little about it as possible.
