Adopting kids ain't easy. People always say "you could just adopt" but they don't realize just how much expense is involved. It could easily cost $50k.

This happened to me. I got a PhD and expected to be able to get a tenure track job in academia. Sure, it's hard. But it wouldn't be me that failed at it, right? Wrong. Three years later, no job, scraping by on adjunct work.

I went back to law school. Sometimes you have to redefine your life in a way that gives you new opportunities. Does it still hurt that I couldn't get my dream job? Yeah, but I have a lot of good I can do for the world in other ways, and I'm not going to let that dream's death prevent me from doing it.

As someone who has been burned by their dumbass "hide the baggage fee and charge $25 less than your competitors" strategy, fuck United. I filter them out whenever I'm looking for flights.

The idea that Arizona would have"federal only" voters because they refuse to just let people vote for state races according to federal rules is so fucking stupid. Talk about creating a bureaucratic mess for no gain to the citizenry!

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

Ditching Biden is the only way to unite two important groups of Democrats: those with some grasp of reality, who recognize that Biden is far too old to run again, and those who still have their head in the sand about the issue, but will rally around anyone who isn't Trump.

If we stick with Biden the election is lost. This will not be the last time Biden has a poor showing in public, revealing just how hard it is for him to speak and think at his advanced age. Every time it happens, more voters pay attention, and his poll numbers will sink more.

I voted uncommitted for a lot of reasons, and this is one of them. Getting Biden out and having a brokered convention certainly expresses my democratic will.

Absolutely nothing about this case is a mere reiteration of anything before it.

All Biden has to do is claim that it's an official act, because Trump is a terrorist, a threat to the Constitution, or some other questionable legal pretext. The problem is that there's no remedy against such a claim. It could be litigated and go to SCOTUS again, who would have to decide whether it's an official act or not. But this ruling gives no definite rule on what does or does not count as an official act.

Drop. The. Fuck. Out. You are going to fucking lose you geriatric fuck and SCOTUS just ensured that Trump will use his power to be a dictator when he's elected.

If he's such an existential threat (and he is), why the fuck are they not forcing the geriatric incompetent running on their ticket to drop out? They're sleepwalking into fascism and it's terrifying.

I'm against Biden but I'll vote for him if I have to. He should absolutely drop out of the race. He's going to RBG us.
