The best way to put money in people’s pockets is increase funding for government services and subsidies. Let’s re-expand Obamacare subsidies, fund school lunches, and lower college tuition.

Folks, don't lie to your lawyer. We're gonna find out, and you just make our jobs harder when you do.

Would you like a little rest?

I made this little video for you. It’s just trees. A small creek. Nothing happens. It’s 2 minutes long.

I remember watching their first game. It was on local tv for me because they played the White Sox.

You have to watch the White Sox.

Yup. There are so many morons out there.

We stream WXRT from Salt Lake City.

You’d think the stereotype would help here.

Apparently the Salt Lake City sale just got uncanceled.

I dunno. I agree with the sentiment, but as a practical matter, there was some reason to hope that Dem leaders would be moved by protest, while there's no reason to think Republicans will be.

That being said, I bear no ill will toward anyone of Arab descent who just couldn't vote for Harris. Sometimes it's just not reasonable to expect people to overcome certain emotional responses, and having "your people" terrorized with US weapons is one of those situations. 2/

It's not anyone's duty to change their views.

But there is arguably a duty to vote for the better option.

Even if the fate of Palestinians was the only issue that matters to someone, was there any reason to think that a Trump presidency would be better for them than a Harris presidency? 1/

Does the cup in the photo bulb out more than the one in the drawing?

My move is to forget about until I get there and then smack myself for forgetting it.

Ah, but what about the pillows? They’re usually way too soft for me.

And what a glorious Cubs debut he had …

Sure. My main point is that the precedents themselves are dumb. Though I think there’s a distinction between my hypothetical and a company that advertises in a state or in every state.

(I also feel that personal injury is different, though I realize that might not be 100% logical.)

None of this is doing business “in” the forum state, and it’s certainly not taking advantage of the forum state’s laws or legal system. 2/2

Am I wrong in thinking this whole line of reasoning is dumb? “Selling a product to the forum state” doesn’t involve any contact at all with the state. The business receives an order on its computer, gets a payment into its merchant Visa account, and has FedEx pick up the package at its warehouse. 1/

No, I get it. But that means the Dems went up from around 31 to around 39, right?

11.03.2026 01:59 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

16-point overperformance meaning the Dems got 8% more?

I guess it’s the same reasoning as with the USS Arizona? Legal but will live in infamy?

Um, no. Um, I mean, that’d be wrong.

That’s some top notch accessorizing.

Wouldn't it be easier to activate sleeper cells by posting "Sleeper Cells, Activate!" on Twitter?
