The impeachment process relies on good faith of both parts of Congress. The Senate, controlled by Republicans, at first denied there was evidence, then when presented with obvious evidence decided that they were okay with it and no punishment was needed on a verdict already established (the actual impeachment from the House). It's like the jurors agreed there was a crime, but the judge said it wasn't a big deal and let him free.

Supposedly Gov. Cooper took his name from Harris' choices for VP because he was concerned Robinson would try to take control of the state while he was away.

The only reason that episode didn't get to me the first time I saw it was because it wasn't realistic enough, i.e. too clean. The comic does a better job. Probably restricted because of the network, although we saw some gruesome stuff even in the first season.

And also important: changes their mind when confronted with evidence that their administration or themselves might have the wrong position on a topic. Some may call that flip-flopping, but it isn't when it follows the facts.

As bad as he is/was, he isn't MAGA. I just see the RINO tag they continue to use as another projection, as they have long moved past any Republican issues or goals. Just make your own party, losers. There's even a couple of loser flags you can adopt, since you fly them anyway.

There is a LLaVA model, as well as a version fine tuned with LLaMA3, Mistral, or phi3. Go to Ollama.com and search for "llava" under models.

When people use the label "woke" I just ask them what they mean by that, since I think an argument should be based on mutual understanding of terms. They never can give me a real answer. It's almost like they need an easy word to throw around to insult things without having to think too hard about it. If they go by any definition of the word in the dictionary, then them being "anti-woke" means they're a clueless moron, and likely racist too since the slang usage originated with racial injustice struggles.

At first I thought that number was far too small, but then realized that was just schools, and not all mass shootings. Each time it proves the point once again, but for me it was Sandy Hook where I realized that if we don't change after that event, we're not going to change easily.

I added easily...initially I didn't, but I think any society can change its ways with enough effort. Kids dying doesn't seem to have the push needed, which says a lot about us.

Trump after hearing the acceptance:

It's the police version of the manager at the service desk telling the cashier to just give them the money back so they'll leave.

Stein didn't answer the points AOC made, she just went into her own attack. I find it funny calling AOC "idle"...I realize she's focused on the one issue that Stein can hammer in to hurt the Democrats, but the way she phrased it was really stretching things.

So why does Stein only show up during elections to fan flames? This goes to another point I made on a different thread, we need good variety in the down-ballot, so why don't we see more Green and other parties when the grassroots is where things like that start growing the best? I'm not saying they aren't there, but the candidates have never had much support from the bigger organization, and honestly have always lacked credibility when comparing them to the Democrat choice. Mainly because they're usually a one issue campaign and don't have substance on the day-to-day stuff that's needed for locals. Put better people in these positions, they might get votes.

Gerrymandering and discouraging certain demographics is basically an accepted practice in North Carolina. The only way to get the votes to swing blue is to overrun the systems in place so even margins of error don't matter. We did it in 2008, we can do it again.
