Hayes vs Tilden had neither candidate winning a majority of electoral votes and the election was basically decided by backroom deals.

They already did more or less. Friday they blew up the Chevron decision which means the court can override rules by regulatory agencies whenever they want.
Great old school breakfast place. Hope they open back up soon.
The catch is the courts say what is official and unofficial. A president could then remove Supreme Court members and replace them with ones who agree that such a removal is official and therefore legal.
Is it wrong to wish that Biden would immediately drone strike the justices that are in the majority for this decision?
That reminds me of a job I did where it had been cold and rainy all day. My manager said they couldn’t use a bunch of photos we took with me in them for the report because I looked too miserable.
Maybe they are dropping the first and last letters from MAGA.
“America Great!!!”
A guy who has never held office anywhere, isn’t a Democrat, and believes the free market will fix climate change should be the Dem candidate? He’s not a serious option.
I will admit I love his “Ellis Island” style immigration, but that would be immediately disqualifying for exactly the kind of centrist and never-Trumper people we need to win over.
Crush up some dried porcini mushrooms and add it to the gravy. Maximum savoriness.
It doesn’t matter who you or I will vote for. People that understand the danger of Trump would vote for a ham sandwich. What matters is who swing voters and never-Trumpers will vote for.
Most of them would never vote for anyone from California because that state is synonymous with the worst problems of the left. They would also never vote for Whitmer because she is a self described progressive (and let’s be honest, being a woman doesn’t help with more traditionally minded centrists).
Jared Polis would be ideal, although I would bet unfortunately being gay and Jewish would hamper him. His type of politics is exactly what we need to appeal to those toying with the idea of Trump.
Getting a dog has helped me in ways I never expected. I just figured “cute, cuddle, good for brain chemicals”. But they HAVE to be walked at a certain time. They HAVE to be fed at a certain time. Regardless of any of your internal issues, you love them and you have to provide for their needs.
So when you are in the kitchen filling their bowl, you make yourself some toast or grab a banana. When you are taking them for a walk, maybe you go a little farther because they like it and it’s good for you. If you struggle to get up in the morning, they look to you pleading to be taken out to pee and you get yourself up and dressed. They need training and that requires being consistent, so you do it for them. It’s so much easier to do it for them than for yourself.
YOLO court strikes again
Holy fuck! As if Citizens United wasn’t bad enough. Our government is fully for sale now.
Most countries have a functional mental health system. The US does not. We fail on both accounts.
I remember one guy telling his story that he was raped by a pregnant woman. He didn’t want to hurt the baby so he couldn’t force her to stop.
Trump reduced the requirements for protecting innocent bystanders and greatly increased the number of drone strikes during his tenure, which I think would be frowned upon at the pearly gates.
There is a rule for gas stations that prices can only be changed once a day. Sounds like that would be a good start.
People who say “burn it down” always assume theirs won’t be one of the millions of lives this plan ends.
Remember that in a post-scarcity society, the currency is glory and prestige.
