Well, it shouldn’t quite be half the year, but it makes sense to plan some official time to be back in your district. Your constituents shouldn’t have to travel to DC to see you in person.

They got disappeared, just like this post will be for violating Rule 1 fixed
Why? Hunter Biden is irrelevant. The only thing he has accomplished on his own merits is getting a law degree from Yale, and from that point on everything he has accomplished has come from having the right father. He is as useless as Eric Trump. And I am sure he has a compelling personal story of redemption, yay for him, but I am not gonna sit there and watch that for 3 hours.
Yes, he has been the target of GOP lies and fuckery, but that doesn’t make him competent. You can argue that the GOP targeted him precisely because he is easily manipulated by people who wanted to get close to his dad, even if his dad was too smart to take the bait.
It was never gonna be a life sentence. Life was the maximum the judge could have allowed, but it wasn’t gonna get that far.
This guy didn’t fire the fatal shot, and in fact none of the shots he fired found anyone. But he fired 10 shots, blindly into the apartment, after being fired up in by Taylor’s boyfriend (who thought they were being robbed). And he wasn’t convicted of murder or attempted murder, but rather under civil rights laws of depriving Taylor of her civil rights (which is phrasing only a lawyer would love).
If anything, he’s lucky he’s such a poor shot. If he had hit anyone he would have been in a lot more trouble.
He’s either getting paid, or views this interview as a path to get paid eventually. I don’t blame him, shit’s expensive…
No, the government asked for 1 day. The judge didn’t take their suggestion.
You’re in luck
JD Vance has the charisma of a semen-stained Chesterfield. Nobody likes him. He was picked specifically because he’s a nobody and won’t challenge the Trump agenda. If he were in charge, it all falls apart.
I am waiting for God Himself to cast His Ultimate Veto on the Trump Presidency
I won’t be satisfied until we see his long form medical certificate
FUTURE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.
Was that Mark Foley? IIRC, he was caught with (male) Congressional Pages, who are older than 12. But the key thing about Foley was that he was caught. So I read this as “I don’t want to get caught with someone underage”…
Al Gore may not have really invented the Internet, but when he was in politics we haven’t figured out how to really weaponize it for political purposes yet. It’s not bizarre moon logic, it’s active manipulation.
“Genocide” is one of those hot button terms that short-circuit people’s critical thinking whenever someone invokes it, that’s why provateuers online like tossing it about. (“Pedo” is another one, which has been in the news lately). Turns out getting lasting peace in the region is difficult and can’t be reduced to slogans…
Wait, you mean to tell me that every time Rand Paul screams “Audit the Fed”, he’s talking bullshit? Who knew? ~we all did~
The 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose lifestyles they disagree with
“It’s absolutely not ‘pro-life’ — and not very Christian either,” said Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), as she shared the woman’s story after the town hall. “And who else are they not going to treat? I had a friend say: what about someone who’s addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who’s struggling with mental health? If you can just refuse treatment to anyone whose lifestyle you disagree with — that’s not medical ethics. That’s fascism.”
Ah, but generic names like “Indians” and “Chiefs” dont really belong to one tribe, do they? We do have teams that are named after tribes specifically, like the Blackhawks. (Although Wikipedia says the team was named after an army regiment, which was named after the tribe.) And if you get into college sports, you have a lot more.
People may find those less objectionable because there is a tribe or a group of people who the team can say they represent, and get some culturally appropriate context to the team name. But calling a team “Indians” seems analogous to calling a team the “Asians” or the “Europeans”.
The systemic oppression of the native population also has something to do with it. Nobody complains about the Padres and their Friar logo, or the handsomely Nordic logo for the Vikings. But that could be because they didn’t get treated the same way.
No, you can hem and haw about the other team names. But “Redskins” was always offensive, unless you were taking about potatoes.
Snyder only sexually harassed adult cheerleaders, though, so he’s not quite in Tump’s league
That article doesn’t say what you think it says. The family of the man pictured in the logo wanted to keep it because it was it of the most widely seen images of a Native American. The family themselves don’t seem to care about the name much. Other groups do though.
I was never a big fan about the wholesale elimination of native-inspired team names, because I always felt the iconography was more offensive. There could have been tasteful ways for Cleveland to keep the “Indians” name, but it was clear years ago that Chief Wahoo had to go. Same for Chief Nokahoma (who I think the Braves retired in rhe 80s), and every team with a Tomohawk in their logo.
The Redskins were always a different case. The logo wasn’t quite so offensive, but try naming a team the Spics, Honkeys, or Japs and see how people like that. The name had to go. They could have named the team after the Blackfeet tribe, somehow, and kept the logo. But once they abandoned native names, the logo had to go.
It’s too bad the Washington Generals was already taken, that would have been awesome. In retrospect, they should have kept Washington Football Team…
Oh, I get it. Putin never had the pee tape, Epstein did…
