  1. Since Biden doesn't constantly lie, she'd have no need to push him to finally answer a single question, and stop deflecting.

  2. No, the rest of his statement was telling Pence not to call the governors of MI and WA. He's lying again.

  3. Who would take this job, knowing that their advice will be ignored?

  4. Not just the US, but the entire world.

  5. I've endured the trifecta of pain, that cancer treatment can be. Surgery was the easiest to recover from, chemo is permanently damaging. Not only does it damage all your organs, but if a woman isn't already post-menopause, she is slammed into menopause, as her ovaries are killed. If I made it to 75, and found out I had cancer again, I don't think I could go through more chemo.

  6. Nasty, self indulgent rich people seldom have friends, they have staff. When the paycheck stops, so does the "friendship".

  7. About twenty years ago, when my older daughter was in high school, she and her friends were sitting on my couch texting. I said to my daughter, "Hey, your friends came over to spend time with you. Talk to each other, don't text other people." When they told me they were texting each other, I realized the ability to interact socially was dying.

  8.  @chimanmac3639  Look, sexually harassing your young female employees is repulsive, but Cuomo is not accused of paying underage women for sex, or transporting them to do so, or doing drugs with them. Do you understand which is the greater crime?

  9. Giuliani has lost all credibility.

  10. So the traitor-in-chief accuses patriots, trying to protect the country from a Russian asset, of treason. What a joke.

  11. Pelosi's daughter's video is revelatory. How fortunate the Pelosi family treated January 6, as bring your daughter to work day. Thank you, Alexandra Pelosi, for sharing your work.

  12. Of course it was planned, by Trump. That makes his crime premeditated.

  13. Oh goodie, let's ask Thomas Friedman, the man who has been wrong about every war he has opined on, what he thinks.

  14. Plus, if you look at photos of her, from that time, she was definitely his type. She looked like a model.

  15. Russia dare not "release the science", as they stole it in data hacks.

  16.  @ChineseChicken1  Why do you think a mail-in ballot cannot be traced? Every envelope has a bar code on it. I am sent a text when my ballot is mailed to me, and when my local election board receives it and my signature is verified. If there is a problem with a voter's signature, they notify that voter. They couldn't do that if they couldn't trace the ballot. As to dead people from the 1800s, our voter rolls are linked to the DMV. I really doubt people in the 1800s were registered with a DMV.

  17.  Kiss My Axe  One example? How about how Trump sued Hillary Clinton, and not only was the case dismissed as frivolous, the judge ordered Trump to reimburse her, for her legal costs. And how many frivolous cases, alleging voting fraud, did Trump lose? At least 63.

  18. Working as a programmer, since 1981, I've seen this crap before. Some fool, who thinks programming is easy, and that software engineers are overpaid, fires the top coders (or causes people to leave on their own, with draconian work environments). After a few months, when junior programmers can't cope, or figure out how the systems work, the company folds. Even with the best documentation, it is often hard to figure out all the interrelations, of one system with another. OOPS programming languages were meant to make this easier, but with all the inheritances, and coding short hands, actually make it worse. Musk thinks he's smarter than all his employees. He's wrong.

  19. Sorry, but I grew up in a era, when girls often weren't allowed the same educational opportunities boys got. I like math and computers, but was told I couldn't study engineering, because I was a girl. I went to UCLA as microbiology major, and just took a bunch of computer classes. I was very good at it. So, when I graduated, and got my first job, it was as a computer programmer. I was told I had to be in support, because only males were allowed to be in development, even though the guys complained, and told management I was the better coder. I found out I made less than the guys, in the same job. I endured sexual harassment, from a project leader, who couldn't code his way out of a paper bag, and tried to treat me like a secretary. When my husband and I had children, he refused to help with anything, and I had to quit my job, to care for them. I started grad school, in CS. But, when my husband's boss talked to me at a party, and then mentioned to my husband, that he wanted to hire me, my husband insisted I quit grad school, and started sabotaging my projects. So, now men find themselves, in the same place women have had to inhabit until about twenty years ago. I find it hard to feel sorry for them. It isn't that things are unfair for poor boys and men. It is that finally they are fair for girls and women, and men can't cope.

  20. Many Belarussians did have balls. But Lukashenko and Putin castrated them last year.

  21.  @freda2758  They were trained to fight with air support, which the US withdrew.

  22.  @donalddarko2732 You clearly didn't read the original comment, it is not about responsibility, but the horrible position many females find themselves in, often due to evil men.
    45
  23.  @RikodiusRex  No, they are firing him because he was in communications with his brother's office. Remember, how every other day another woman came forth with a new story of the governor's predation, and how their career was sidelined. Whenever a new victim came forward, Chris helped his brother smear her reputation, before the story broke.

  24. So is Cilizza pissed that Musk is so rich, or that when people take unfair swipes at him, he punches back?

  25. Saying that the US is going socialist will end up like Venezuela is nuts. We will remain a capitalist country, with small amounts of socialism to ease disparity, like western European countries and Canada. This is something to be desired, not feared.

  26. My son-in-law is in the same situation. He fell in love with my daughter in high school, when she was 14 and he was 15. He asked me how he could marry her, and my answer was be there for her, whenever she needs help. They were the best of friends through high school, and into her college years. And although they dated other people, he was always there for her. She finally started dating him, when she was 22, and then they moved in together. But, still, she would not marry him, no matter how many times he asked. She was worried because he only had a HS education. They bought a house together, and struggled, then thrived. He supported her as she went to grad school, and got an MBA. At the age of 34, she became pregnant with their first child, and they got married. She makes more money than he does, with lots of benefits, but he does very well, and runs his own flooring firm. He is the more loving parent, and always there for their sons. It works, mostly because they adore each other. If society could get over it's preconceived ideas, that the man has to be the smart one who makes lots of money, and the woman the nurturing one, it wouldn't matter that women are often better educated.

  27. At least Davidson apologized, and Crenshaw came on SNL to accept that apology.

  28. A stolen rental car.

  29. Russia has replaced the GPS, in Shaheed drones, with Russian GLONASS. A test, performed by the Norwegian Navy, has demonstrated GLONASS can be jammed. We need to provide Ukraine with all the GPS jammers they need. If Zakaria's scenario, of swarms of AI drones, were realized, those drones would need communications to coordinate. And any communications can be jammed.

  30. There is methane in their burps, and methane is emitted from those fertile cow pies. In fact 30% of California's green house gasses are produced by cattle (or rather the bacteria in their fore-gut).

  31. Isn't telling member of their conspiracy, to stay quiet about what they did, proof they knew it was an illegal conspiracy? It sounds like consciousness of guilt to me.

  32. Anyone who believes that, has never written code for a living, Even in the 1980s, the backdoors I left myself, when designing systems, were a heck of lot more complicated than that.

  33.  @johnfor7522  Little green men are not civilians. Maybe they shouldn't be occupying Ukraine.

  34. I was sure he wasn't white, when instead of being charged with negligent homicide, he was only charged with second-degree recklessly endangering, despite killing 5 people. And, then I saw his angry photo, yes indeed. They also gave him a much lower bail, only $7,500, $2,500 for each life he took.

  35. Back in the 1980s, when LA put in HOV lanes on freeway entrances, I was pulled over for wrongly using the lane. My infant daughter was in the car with me, and the sign said for use of 2 or more persons only. The officer claimed that didn't include babies. I said of course it did. He then offered to let me go, with a warning to not do it again. I told him I would, as a baby is still a person, and he didn't understand the law, and further, I was not going to go until he apologized to me, as I wrote down his badge number. He then apologized. I hope that all pregnant women, living in states that wrongly consider a fetus a person, use the HOV lane. And, if pulled over, make the cop apologize. Get their badge number, and report them.

  36. That climate change is dangerous to the air we breathe and water we drink, and to our very lives, is not a contentious matter. It is well documented. The fact this weird woman thinks it is contentious should be enough to know she has poor judgement, and should not be on any court bench, let alone that of the highest court in the land.

  37. Even before the emergent coronaviruses, mRNA vaccines have been in development. And there were working vaccines, in use, against oncoproteins. Because an mRNA vaccine had been developed and tested, against SARS-1, researchers already knew that using the entire spike protein gene resulted in vaccine induced immunopathy, so knew to only use portions of that protein's gene. There was a safe mRNA SARS vaccine ready to go, just as that epidemic burned itself out.

  38. She asked why they were siding with Russia. He answered they weren't siding with Russia, just looking after their own interests. How is that not answering the question?

  39. I used to admire Musk's commitment to space travel and lessening our dependence on fossil fuels. But lately, he's just seemed rather dickish. I must admit to a bit of schadenfreude for his current predicament.

  40. Despite its ;name Project Veritas has nothing to do with the truth. It is a far right-wing propaganda machine. Its "news" is routinely debunked. It is being sued for the lies it spread.

  41. I hope that Mr. Farrow has absolutely no skeletons in the closet. These creeps are going to go after him to discredit him. Thank you Ronan Farrow from bringing the horrors women face in corporate culture. I remember being told by HR, after being assaulted by my project leader, that we all just go along to get along. That I needed to make a choice between my marriage and my career.

  42. These women are sick! Just a touch? He climbed on top of her and tried to take her clothing off while grinding himself on her. That is not a 'just a touch". He held his hand over her mouth so she could not yell. That shows a consciousness of guilt. So he was just 17. William Wordsworth wrote that the "child is father of the man". That 'child' tried to rape a younger girl. He is not the kind of man that should be on the highest court of the land.

  43. Before passing a huge spending bill, with a CBO score showing it will make inflation worse, why not get inflation under control? Why hasn't the prime rate been raised? Keeping it this low only benefits big business, while making life for the common citizen overly expensive. We should be able to get a return on our bank savings, and also be able to put food on the table. Raise the prime lending rate already!

  44. I'm down voting because the title should be "St. Louis couple defends their property from trespassing mob who broke in."

  45.  J P  How is it going to the Supreme Court,? All the cases have been dismissed as frivolous. He has no grounds to appeal, and without going through the appeals court, you cannot get to the Supreme Court.

  46. The ball was dropped in 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine, and placed little green men in the Donbas and Crimea.

  47. They can handle one guy. The riot overwhelmed them.

  48. So, based upon the idea that Mifepristone was originally developed for a different purpose, this judge would forbid it being used to terminate pregnancies? How about Rogaine, Cialis and Viagra? They were originally developed for the treatment of blood pressure irregularities. This ruling should prevent their ever being prescribed to treat male pattern baldness or impotency. Gabapentin was originally developed to prevent seizures, yet is routinely used for pain management. Should all those suffering people continue to suffer? Some antidepressants are used to treat addiction and PTSD. Won't be able to do that anymore. You or a friend or family member, have probably been prescribed a drug for an off-label use. Even if you don't care about women's bodily autonomy, this ruling should frighten you.

  49. Sexual harassers and predators never have only one victim. They are entitled jerks who harass or assault numerous women. Every time there is one of these allegations, against a real sexual predator, countless other victims come out as well. This allegation was settled in 2018. It was in the news prior to the settlement. If no other victim has come forward, in four years, the allegation is bogus.

  50. So, Republicans block a bi-partisan committee, but it's Pelosi's fault there is no bi-partisan committee. Right.
