People didn't know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.

How do you do that? Unless they're your kid, you don't usually have that kind of control over another person.

Now do the research on the alien enemies act and how it's already been used.

That amendment really meant consecutive terms. So Trump being president again is fine.

That's just as ridiculous of an argument as the president being criminally immune.

When the branch that has the final say on what the Constitution means is on board, you don't have to actually amend it.

I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down.

And then appeal it to the SCOTUS who literally gave him criminal immunity. With Congress and SCOTUS, it doesn't matter what the Constitution actually says. Just what they can twist it with paper thin reasoning to mean.

So who's stopping him?

Who you voted for is secret but that you voted is public information. I haven't heard if it was predominantly white men who sat it out, but that wouldn't be hard data to gather.

It's a stupid question. But that's the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it's probably going to be worse genocide.

I'm so sad we voted against it. Legalizing magic mushrooms had more support than making tipped minimum wage the same as normal minimum wage.

Tu - your

Tú - you

Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)

That's pretty much always what the polls say for the presidential election. I don't know why people expect pollsters to have crystal balls. The election is mostly decided on who is going to actually go vote, and a lot of people don't know the answer to that until election day.

No. No, they don't.

I think it might be easier just to do the division.
