"When somebody tells you who they are, believe them."
No. Donald Trump told us he was a brilliant deal-maker, a stable genius, and a gifted billionaire.
A better idea is to do as Maya Angelou said: when somebody shows you what they are, over and over, believe them.
I’m pretty sure I saw that headline, with X = Obama or Elizabeth Warren or someone. Then it got shot down because… Idunno, they probably would have blown it all on rent and food and car repairs instead of Job Creation.
This.
McCarthy did the right thing for once, and came up with a solution to the looming shutdown that managed to pass by getting both Republican and Democratic votes. And he got shitcanned for it.
The message here is that as far as MAGA Republicans are concerned, bipartisanship is a firing offense.
Remember that when push came to shove, Democrats kicked Al Franken out of the Senate, while Republicans doubled down in their support for Roy Moore.
Of course, the press never asks any of this.
The horse race reporters might not, but pollsters do. They worry about this sort of thing a lot, and try to correct for it, when possible.
ABC reported that the Fulton County jail didn't weigh or measure him: his office provided his height and weight.
A big part of why this season feels stale is that its topical references are several years old. Like Dune and Ivermectin, in this episode. Was this season written two years ago and is only being released now?
Some years ago, employees sued Amazon because the company had a lengthy security scan when people left, to prevent theft. Apparently it could take half an hour to go through, and they argued that this was unpaid overtime.
They lost, which seems like bullshit: as far as I can tell, the sane way to look at it is, if you're obligated to do what the company tells you and go where the company says, then you're on the job and should be paid for it. Once you're out the door, you can choose whether you want to go home or go to a bar or just sit on the sidewalk; you're not on the clock and you're not getting paid.
If the company wants you to work 8 hours in the warehouse, then spend half an hour in the security scan, then you're doing company business for 8.5 hours.
But he's not. He'll be fine. He'll always be fine.
It's hard to comprehend just how vastly, mind-bogglingly rich the ultra rich are, so consider: according to Wikipedia, Musk's net worth in July 2023 was about $239 billion. That means that he could lose 99% of everything he owns, and then lose 99% of what was left, and be left with over $20 million, more money than most of us will see in a lifetime.
He's not going to be applying for EBT any time soon. Hell, he's not going to be selling off the spare Lamborghini any time soon.
How can something sarong feel so right?
Downvoted for misleading description: the beans aren't fucking. Not even snogging.
You assume that the originalists on the court care what the framers of the amendment thought, when it goes against the decision they want to render.
