A Trump campaign official said the event was canceled due to a scheduling conflict.

Someone must have given his pills at the wrong time, so he was lucid too early and now he needs his nap.

Isn't it the prosecution's job to prove their case by putting forth a "one-sided prosecutorial narrative"?

MAGA world's most important media outlet

Hey, 2016 called, it wants its' tweet back. None of the real MAGAs trust Fox anymore, ever since they had to settle that lawsuit and fire Tucker Carlson.

On Monday, the mayor marched down Fifth Avenue during the annual Columbus Day Parade wearing a baseball cap supporting BOTH the Yankees and Mets! The hat featured a Mets logo on one side, an "X" in between and a Yankees logo on the other side. ... "No wonder Eric Adams got indicted, that hat is a crime against humanity," one user wrote in a post on X, formally Twitter.

I bet if another storm heads toward Louisiana they'll have a vote faster than you can say "Fucking Hypocrite!'

Is it possible to cover up "serious decline" with a serious dose of uppers? I've assumed he is on a steady diet of pills ever since he accused Biden of only being able to stay awake if they put him on meds.

Maybe this is how he is when his meds wear off.

It might end up being different this time around:

  • much of the opposition to nuking the Filibuster was done by people with Respect For Senate Traditions, like Manchin, who are not running again.

  • Democrats that remain remember the shit McConnell pulled when he was majority leader, and are not as likely to have this Respect for Senate Traditions when they know Republican leadership will not hesitate to shit on those traditions if it suits them.

  • since Senate terms each cover 3 sessions of Congress, they are divided into three classes, where 33/34 Senators are in each class. Counting the independant seats, Democrats have 23 seats to defend in this Senate class. If they retain their majority this election, it will be easier to maintain over the next 6 years of their term as Republicans have more seats to defend than Democrats in the next 2 elections. They may be more willing to go full Nuclear if they don't have to deal with the fallout for a few years.

I wouldn't respond directly to the letter, either, but you bet I would march off to whoever administers elections where I am and make sure nobody un-registered me. I shouldn't have to, but I would anyway.

It's good that Aaron is calling out the bogus RTP penalties, but a lot of the other penalties on both sides were totally legit. The game was worse than sloppy, they were just mauling each other out there. I get the teams hate each other, but that's no excuse to sneak in crap when they think the refs aren't looking.

The Bills had several key Jets penalties negated by dumb PFs away from the play. Do they keep stats on how many penalty yards got negated on offsetting penalties? I think the Bills came out in the wrong end of that metric.

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

Hi all! I'll be visiting with my family soon. I go to San Jose/Santa Clara often for work, but this will be my first time in the area as a tourist in 20 years. Were have 3 days planned for San Francisco on the trip, from a hotel near SFO. We have a rental car, and are 5 people, so it may make sense to drive. The hotel isn't walkable to BART or Caltrain, so if we were going to take those into the city we'd have to park at the station anyway. (South San Francisco would probably be the closest station).

I'm planning to park the car for the day and take the MUNI most places, since it's free for teens. Any suggestions on safe garages? I don't mind paying to make sure the car is secure. If there's a good garage around Union Station, that may be the best bet because we can get anywhere. But it might be nice to park closer to the Presidio for the day we do things there.

Any suggestions? My coworkers who live in the Bay Area think I'm crazy to take a car into SF at all, but surely there are some safe places to park?

We're a bunch of nerds, and will hit up the Exploratorium. (We have a fourth day planned at the Chabot Center and Berkeley, and other days further afield). Any other suggestions for nerdy things to see would be appreciated. (We already have the Wave Organ on the list....)

Thanks!
