The Democrats are not fine.

It’s bad and worse. People are so worried about keeping the worse party out of office that they refuse to criticize the bad party.

But the core is a bunch of people who have been convinced that sacrificing one less important interest will give them a big win in passionately held goal.

The core of the GOP didn’t want Trump.

The American right has, since the founding of the Republic, been bent on creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without “interference” from democratic institutions, so that their power to extract wealth from First Nations, working people, and the land itself is checked only by rivalries with other aristocrats.

I wonder if he thinks Chevron deference was a democratic institution.

He’s not pro-gun.

I just said that.

Neither is he anti-gun.

I’m not very convinced of that.

“It takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida he had a lot of firearms and they saw everything to go to court would have taken a long, long time so you could exactly what you’re saying but take the guns first, go through due process second.” - Trump

He’s pro-Trump.

I wouldn’t argue with that.

Why take a chance on Biden getting replaced with a good candidate?

The bump stock ban overturned by the Supreme Court was put in place by Trump. He is not pro-gun.

He is responsible for a lot of policies that resulted in the mass incarceration we have today.

Biden works with far-right Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond and the Reagan Administration to pass the Comprehensive Control Act. The law expands federal drug trafficking penalties and civil asset forfeiture, allowing police to seize a person’s property without proving them guilty of a crime. Two years later, Biden co-sponsors the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which creates new mandatory minimum sentences for drugs, including the notorious 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. A conviction of possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute carries a five-year sentence for 500 grams, while the same conviction for crack carries a five-year sentence for only 5 grams, so the harshest penalties are enacted on low-level drug sellers and impoverished drug users.

The controversial legislation known as the 1994 Crime Bill is Biden’s most significant contribution to the expansion of policing the drug war. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, written by Biden, increases funds for police and prisons, fueling an expansion of the federal prison population. It also newly applies the federal death penalty to 60 crimes, including large-scale drug trafficking and drive-by-shootings resulting in death. Biden brags after the law passes that “the liberal wing of the Democratic Party” is now for “60 new death penalties,” “70 enhanced penalties,” “100,000 cops,” and “125,000 new state prison cells.”

Security tools like Flipper Zero are essentially programmable radios, known as Software Defined Radios (SDRs), a technology which has existed for years, and in some cases can be built using open-source or simple over-the-shelf-components.

SDR is really cool:

The actual winner, Thomas Hicks, was near collapse and hallucinating when he crossed the finish line, a side effect of being administered brandy, raw eggs, and strychnine by his trainers.

why the fuck did they give him strychnine

Thomas Hicks ended up as the winner of the event, although he was aided by various measures that would not have been permitted in later years.[9] Ten miles from the finish, Hicks led the race by a mile and a half, but he had to be restrained from stopping and lying down by his trainers. From then until the end of the race, Hicks received several doses of strychnine (a common rat poison, which stimulates the nervous system in small doses) mixed with brandy and egg white.[2] He continued to battle onwards, hallucinating, and was barely able to walk for most of the course. When he reached the stadium, his support team carried him over the line, holding him in the air while he shuffled his feet as if still running.[6] Hicks had to be carried off the track on a stretcher, and might have died in the stadium had he not been treated by four doctors. He lost eight pounds during the course of the marathon.[6][10]

what the fuck

The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.

I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.

If you haven’t seen “King of Kong,” you should definitely watch it.

I remember these. Sucks that they didn’t really work out commercially.

Not that I know of.

Jacking Up a Car Is Dangerous. Here’s Why Mechanics Are Doing So Anyway

I don’t know what “Herren” means, but WC stands for water closet. It sounds to me like there isn’t any running water or stalls.

Rather amazingly, set into its outside wall on the street is a pissoir. The “Herren WC” sign is a little misleading, as there is neither WATER nor a CLOSET."

How wonderful!

The message is that you deserve nothing and must earn everything, not that there isn’t enough to go around.
