Thank God JD Vance, a white man, is there to protect black women specifically from seeking abortions. We all, conservative white men, know that they, black, don’t understand what they are doing. /S obviously

This is one nice thing about a former president running again, we can see what kind of president they will be and…yea, he’d do that, because he kind of already did that, several times.

Not OC, but I don’t doubt it. I’ve seen several people strapped with guns walking around their suburban home in my very red state. I saw a guy with a pistol clipped to his gym shorts getting the mail once, just dangling around, falling lower with every step. 2A bros are terrified of everything and panic without an emotional support weapon

That’s not fair! The longest shutdown in US history was under Trump when GOP had full control of the government. They’ll happily obstruct themselves too.

Looks like they are still very good. I have the C1 which is still made in Germany. I wouldn’t buy a model made in China, regardless of manufacturer, but to each their own.

The biggest knock Rtings has us the cost of operation (filter and bag replacements) but you can get reusable options for both. I have two very sheddy dogs and one reusable bag has worked fine as long as I’ve owned the vacuum.

Advice for any purchase really that I learned far to late, cheap is expensive. A $400 vacuum that is made well, repairable, and will run for 20+ years is better than a new $120 vacuum every 5 years.

I got a Miele a few years ago and love it it’s a little pricy, but they are well made and have good warranties. A vacuum repair person recommended the brand to me saying that when they do finally break, they are much easier repair.

In 2024, the DOJ has collected over a billion dollars in plea agreements across 3 of the 6 cases brought. The other 3 appear to be unsettled.

Along with the points already made, selling energy back to the grid further complicates things. Selling energy as a non-utility is not allowed or practically worthless in a lot of states. So it’s really only valuable to the commercial space that can use it. Couple that with retail space like stip malls that rent their locations and there’s little incentive for the property owner to provide solar energy to the renter.

InB4 “WhY DiDn’t hE Do iT WhEn hE HaD ThE MaJoRiTy?” Because he’s calling for constitutional amendments that require a 2/3rds support in Congress and the SCOTUS may finally be disliked enough to get some GOP members to support reform, especially if it comes with limiting Biden’s own immunity.

He retired a couple years ago and was replaced by Mark-wayne “I don’t want reality” Mullin.

I too was OotL. From the channel sidebar:

The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.

He seems to have at least partially succeeded: Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing

I love to seeing nuclear power plants planned to replace a coal plant. The Gates one is planning to do the same thing. I imagine they will have to do some remediation to get the background radiation of a coal plant down so it doesn’t interfere with future nuclear monitoring, but replacing it with a nuclear plant is a great idea.The high power infrastructure is already in place and its not like anything else will be jumping at the opportunity to build on top of a retired coal plant.

Cabinet and federal appointments are the big thing. That’s why I’ll take Biden over Trump. I’m not just voting for him, I’m voting for the 4000 jobs in energy, health, labor, transportation, etc. to be run by Democrats, liberals, and qualified people.

Trump, and project 2025 plan to fill all those roles with right wing nutjobs who will do anything to please the right. On top of those 4000, they’d expand the presidential appointment power to fire up to 45% of the federal workforce. Meteorologist who said the hurricane won’t hit Alabama? GONE! Doctor who said injecting bleach was a bad idea? FIRED!

I’ll take anyone who won’t put Project 2025 in motion.

Borderlands 3, NHL 24, and Among Us.

And he wants to end support for Ukraine… Hard no from me.

Edit: he wants the defense industry to be able to sell weapons to anyone they want as long as they are “friends”? Lol, yea, that’s totally going to end wars and make the US a beacon of peace… Did you even read the link before sharing?

Facebook would be worth what disguy_ovahea says below, I’m bad at math

“the unavoidable fact that it’s going to break our core systems” means that fixing everything “will take some time”. As such, no replacement launch date was given - “We might get lucky with a day-one fix, it’s unlikely, but it might be a month,” the developer said. “Soon as those fixes are done, we can put it back up again.”

Since ‘indefinitely’ tends to mean forever in gaming news, it’s worth clarifying that the creators just can’t give a date right now. They need to wait and see what needs to be updated, which makes sense.

Here you go!

This is part of his Infrastructure Bill, requiring battery materials to be extracted or processed in the United States or a U.S. free-trade agreement partner or recycled in North America on an increasing scale. China is way ahead, no question there. It takes time to build that infrastructure and by locking tax credits behind American investment we add pressure to build them on the US.
