this is realistically the last relief anyone is going to see for a while: https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/biden-harris-administration-approves-additional-428-billion-student-debt-relief-nearly-55000-public-service-workers-0

the feel of being supplanted

An appeals court disqualified Fani Willis' office but declined to toss the indictments. https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-disqualifies-willis-georgia-election-case-trump-indictment/story?id=116944887

Richie Torres in the Bronx and surprisingly Antonio Delgado (her own Lt. Gov) are both apparently exploring the idea. But the fear isn't people switching to vote against her, it's just people staying home entirely.

you say that... https://scri.siena.edu/2024/12/10/hochul-job-approval-favorability-ratings-up-a-little-remain-negative-only-33-of-voters-would-re-elect-hochul-57-want-someone-else/

He's going to try and leverage something NY desperately needs to get Hochul to pardon him, or Hochul runs but completely fizzles out in 2026 and Governor Mike Lawler pardons him on day 1.

Maybe I should t have said "spot on" and should have said "most accurate presidential polls of the unending Trump era"

Can't read the full article but I think you're on point with regards to government. Local gov't (NYC in particular) wants to be responsive to all the convenience store and lunchtime restaurants etc. that built their business around catering to office dwellers who disappeared overnight, as well as the deep-pocketed real estate industry feeling that hit in demand. Are there merits to in-person versus remote, when it's all office work that's done on a computer? Yeah sure in some cases, but it's not really fair to the worker when they are being forced to commute because someone else made an investment with the expectation of that worker being in proximity during lunchtime.

Most polls/aggregates showed a tight race that would be decided by which candidate modestly overperformed relative to their polling. That it was Trump who overperformed in the end obviously defied my expectations, but mathematically it was not unrealistic. https://split-ticket.org/2024/11/10/2024-showed-the-value-of-polling/

The polling in 2024 was mostly spot on.

The Gaetz ethics report will be released, all it took was a secret vote after he wasn't the nominee. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/politics/matt-gaetz-ethics-report-committee/index.html

man or bear bear 1 man 0

technically yeah, but it's not as widely popular as internetizens think, at least outside the 18-29 demographic

"Terrorism" generally is the use of violence to make a political statement or to coerce policy changes in some way. Assuming everything we know is true, it's hard to argue this doesn't fit that bill - even if it's a sympathetic issue. The state will have a more specific definition of terrorism within the penal code, so it'd be on the the prosecution to prove that it checks off all those relevant boxes.

it was literally one incel that everyone hated, and one or two regular Republicans you're making it sound like the first thing a toonami lawyer sees is a pervasive nazi quadrant of its user base, and not one persistent incel stirring up the angry politics folder lol this was all before katt even reached out, but if anything would have turned them off at inception it would have been the nsfw fuggs/whatsherface cooch-offs and present company's repeated use of trans porn to troll packard

yeah luuv had the whole "no rules free speech triumphs" philosophy and there was a problem user of the alt-right variety, but i kinda disagree with your general characterizations of "shady site" and "severe nazi problem"

what

what does it mean if SK successfully impeached its president and we failed twice

happy day

I'm interested, but also actively avoiding spoilers

happy birthday @GuyBeardmane and @Big_Eyed_Fish!

I do recall him saying that if Harris won he'd end up in jail
