Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he was "not in favor" of federalizing elections a day after President Donald Trump said on a podcast that Republicans "ought to nationalize the voting.” “That’s a constitutional issue,” Thune told a reporter who asked him about Trump's remarks. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-gop-leader-john-thune-says-disagrees-trump-congress-nationalize-rcna257260 Well, unlike the orange guy, at least he knows it's a constitutional issue. And he actually said so out loud. I guess that's something. edit: Mike Johnson, OTOH, is still a complete idiot.

Thanks for that article, Bernard.

How many people have your seen try to bring """service animals""" in somewhere that clearly weren't really? How many people don't quite honestly file taxes? How many people speed when they drive or don't come to a full stop? How many people aren't quite honest when writing a resume? The list could go on...

I would not use the word "critique" to describe A.O. Scott's explanation of why Biery's order is a masterpiece of judicial writing.

@wtg said in Kennedy Center: Don't forget the Arc de Trump. Or the Institute of Peace. Is the Arc de Trump something he wants to build or something he wants to put his name on?

We're having a terrible early February. By now I've studied survival skills, e.g. how soldiers in the field kept from freezing to death during WWI and WWII. What I wouldn't give to have wool bedding and clothing. I've learned a bunch of facts about the different kinds of wool, the different ways it's processed, and the different methods used to make wool products.

@Daniel said in Some jokes landed with a thud, and the room fell silent repeatedly.: Why does he try so hard? He wants to be liked, probably. Many people want the same, supposedly.

Economics 101. WHICH I FAILED AND EVEN I KNOW THAT MUCH

Good idea, both.

Ok, I read it. 'Im not a propagandist. I'm a journalist.'

If it's really in a flood plane and prone to constant mold it wouldn't be a healthy or pleasant place to live. Those of you who haven't lived in such places should consider yourselves lucky. Apparently now there's backlash against Charles who might be perceived as having gone too far. Look, Andrew gets no sympathy from me. I've already said he belongs in prison.

You sound like a real Ramaswarmy guy.
