  1. Swift is to the right what Musk is to the left: A person that used to be (and ought to still be!) squarely in their camp, but they've become sellouts. At the same time, I don't think Swift would be so anti-conservative if they weren't so anti-Swift to begin with. It's a bit of a vicious cycle.
  2. The sub actually used to be really good about sticking to libertarian ethos. They wouldn't ban anyone (except if they broke site wide rules) and there was good debating. Now it's as bad as r/conservative or any of the leftist circlejerk subreddits - they'll ban you for the slightest instance of you not toeing the line.
  3. Listening to The Daily this morning on my way into work, and I had a scenario pop into my head concerning this case. While I don't think the following outcome is likely, it would sure be interesting! SCOTUS rules that Trump violated the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection/rebellion, however the court is sympathetic to Trump's lawyer's argument that a state (or states) can't remove a person from the ballot based on the reading of that amendment. 14.3 states that a person can't become any of the named positions (and arguably President as well), but it doesn't say they can't be a candidate. So if states want to exclude Trump from the ballot based on January 6th, they can't. However, if Trump wins a particular state, the state could refuse to certify their win. A 2/3rds vote by Congress after the election, but before the electoral votes are certified would permit the state to move forward and give those EVs to Trump.
  4. That isn't true. Around 40% of voters care! It would truly be a black comedy if both of them go comatose a few weeks before the election. Might as well allow the pickled body of Lenin to run for President at that point.
  5. I don't think the the lawyer arguing for Colorado really did a good job. Trump's lawyer was more compelling. And that's my opinion, even though I think Trump shouldn't be able to run because I think he is an insurrectionist. I think it will be a 9-0 decision in favor of Trump.
  6. Also, wheel designs that have the rim (or aerocover) stick out further than the tire itself means your vehicle WILL eventually have curb rash. Dumb dumb dumb
  7. He's currently sulking on X about how bad of a place Delaware is to incorporate in. I didn't have the context. Now I do!
  8. My opinion of her would go way up if she released a country album. I think some of her newer stuff is good, but I actually think most of her country work is better, even if the country genre isn't as popular as straight up pop.
  9. I'm a big proponent of UBI. It's probably going to be necessary when/if AI and other technology advances make large swaths of the workforce unemployed.
  10. If we are establishing that life in prison is worse than the death penalty, then isn't putting an innocent person in jail for life without the possibility of parole cruel and unusual punishment?
  11. I don't understand why these states just don't use the same drugs that are used to put down pets? We put our dog down early last year, and it was a painless event for him.
  12. I guess they used a mask, instead of filling the room with nitrogen. If you going to do it, at least do it in the same way that people actually die by (accidental) nitrogen asphyxiation.
