Nah, Democrats are going to be out for blood. They know their based elected them to go after the Trump administration, and investigations are the main lever of power that they have if they have Congress but not the presidency. Where they're going to run into problems getting to someone like Miller is executive privilege. Anyone vaguely close to the president is going to claim executive privilege, it goes to the courts, and then the Trump administration just tries to run out the clock.
I was introduced to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by the Behind the Bastards episodes on the Zizians. Or, I should say, reintroduced. I had previously been on a bit of a fanfic binge and stumbled across it. I got a little way through and stopped because (1) it was deeply boring and (2) it was deeply strange.
This reminds me of low-background steel. Certain applications of steel requires very low amounts of radiation. After nuclear testing started releasing radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere, newly forged steel incorporated those radioactive isotopes. The only way to get low-background steel is by finding a pre-atomic age source of scrap steel like a ship wreck.
They all do. Most obviously, there is the midterm election coming up. But also, as support for Trump wears away, more Republicans are willing to break with him.
So recently, Trump said that he wouldn't sign any legislation until his pet vote rigging (sorry election security) legislation was passed. Republicans joined Democrats to pass a housing bill, over Trump's objections.
Trump's nominees are also having a harder time getting through the confirmation process. At the beginning of his term, he rammed through several nominees by threatening to primary Republicans. Those included RFK, Jr. and Hegseth. Now, questionable nominees like Todd Blanche are struggling to make it through.
Does it need the SCP treatment, like SCP-2789?
I generally do not celebrate people's deaths, on principle. Trump will be an exception. Well, except if it is by assassination, I don't want him to die a martyr.
He was old. A family friend of my husband was a similar age, kept himself in great physical condition, and then just one day a heart issue killed him. Chalk it up to the gerentocracy. Our present system effectively means the Grim Reaper will give many politicians the boot before their constituents do.
Both passable? Like, better than half the state flags out there. A low bar, I know.
To be fair, the Linux Desktop use to have virtual no market share. Now it is close to 5%. Linux used to be absolutely painful to run as a desktop environment. Now, there are some rough edges, but it works pretty well.
No, no, they are both in the embrace of Their noodly appendages. They don't reject anyone. Except Fred, you know who you are and you know why.
My mother-in-law at least used to use Pinterest for pulling together ideas for decorations, arts, and crafts. It seems to help her find inspiration. I figure if it is making a difference in how someone is living their life, it had at least as much merit as the bullshit that pervades most of the Internet.
Yes, the vitamin flag. But Pocatello, Idaho had a far uglier flag. Both have very nice replacement flags after receiving negative attention.
