If Texas left the US, wouldn't that be a massive blow to the federal Republican party losing all those electoral college votes and seats in the legislature?
Ahead of the hearings, Schoen told Newsweek: “No matter where anyone stands on Mr. Bannon, everyone should hope the conviction gets reversed on appeal. It is a very dangerous proposition to hold someone criminally culpable and send them to prison without a finding that he or she ever acted in any way that he or she believed was against the law or wrong. That is what happened here.”
This guy is taking crazy pills like his client right? My (very non expert) understanding is that “I didn’t know it was against the law” is in no way a valid legal defense. Are there circumstances where that is not true?
“I got hit with a strap. Bam, bam, bam—and I’ve never been to a shrink—by my father,” Hannity told his guests, while conceding that Peterson “went too far” with his own son. “I would tell you that I deserved it.”
“I had welts when my father hit me in the legs with his belt,” Hannity told his guests as they detailed the allegations leveled against Peterson.
“My father punched me in the face when I talked back to him once, and I deserved it,” Hannity later said in the discussion while defending his dad’s alleged actions.
What a weird thing to brag about: being abused by your father but never seeking any help. I guess in conservative world if you admit something troubled you or you might need help, or if you question the authority of violent men, that’s perceived as weakness. What a miserable way to live.
Colton Moore is not a statewide officeholder. He is a state senator. The statewide officeholders, including the AG and the SoS have supported Kemp and the position that Trumps interference was illegal. Heck it was SoS Raffensperger who recorded the call.
Claims he didn't hear it, then says it'll be taken out of context by the left, yada yada. As if there weren't literal video with him directly saying that's something he can agree with. Who the fuck eats this shit up, and why does it feel like the propagandization of this country is accelerating even more after the shit show of the last presidency?
The last president showed his followers hate is a ok. Before they would just not say it too loudly. It will not stop until our country is lost. I thought they would move the hate to a third party but they seem to be fine with making it harder to vote to keep their power.
I think this comes up every year or so and never amounts to anything other than some headlines and a bump in Republican rah-rah.
However, when I follow this line of thinking to its conclusion it scares the shit out of me. It ends with armed militia showing up at my home to "enlist" my kids to be cannon fodder for these assholes' holy war against the Yankee libs.
The feeling of inevitably and helplessness is crushing.
I can’t phantom spending more than $25k on a new car (for myself, I don’t need a family vehicle). I’m in the market for a used car around $15k and even that seems steep. With this article saying average prices are around $40k and 82% of Americans make under $100k, I have to assume people are seriously struggling to afford anything if much of it is going towards car expenses. And that’s just for a car, not to mention housing, food, etc.
Edit: oh…
Manufacturers cite disappointing sales results as primary reasons for discontinuing smaller, more affordable vehicles from their lineup," Yoon explained.
“But car buyers’ preferences have also shifted dramatically to larger trucks and SUVs in the past 10 years or so, and even more towards high-tech and comfort amenities in the form of cameras, sensors, radars and large infotainment screens,” he said.
Yeah, I’d be a-okay with an fm radio and roll down windows in a compact hatchback, thanks. You people with your fancy cars. It’s all going to be trash with the flick of a firmware update.

Nobody makes fun of my wife’s little econobox anymore. 1.2 liter engine, 5 speed, and a radio.
I’ve been seriously considering a 1970’s VW Beetle. My main hesitation / red flag, of all the things that could be a concern with such an old car, is lack of power steering and my need to parallel park in the city.
Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they’re cool but I wouldn’t try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.
But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn’t work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.
