It also violates collusion laws and also collusion clauses in their own terms found at

Kinda odd that they chose to adbicate any fiduciary responsibility in order to prefer a book with an extremely specific physical design on the basis of durability, despite that design being so specific that it costs >10 times more than less specifically-designed books, when the only people who can acquiesce to such a request are political figures of the same affiliation

To top it all off the email/text had information redacted not by blurring it with paint, but by using characters in the same font with the same line breaks.

I mean seriously, who does that? Only time I've ever busted out inspector to modify a website or tweet or email is to elaborately troll someone with a sceenshot.

Did they really use inspector to redact info out an legit document about an allegedly widespread thing that no one else can produce, or did they draft the whole thing, used strings of 'x' to mark where to blur, and forget to blur? /shrug

It's helpful to have a sort of pyramid in government for the sake of balancing the workload (someone managing foreign policy shouldn't be bothered to give a shit about a pothole in Utah) but what we could do is not burden states with these kinds of things and kick it up to the federal level. For a while it was, and it was stable and consistent, but now it's not and that's the mess

Be me, postal worker. One of our machines uses a csv file to attach zip codes to bins. See fresh engineer decide to change one zip code in notepad really quick. See file's formatting get wrecked. Spend next 6 hours watching all the mail spit out of the very last bin every time they think they finally fix it as if machine has irritable bowel syndrome. Engineer earns nickname 'boy wonder' first week on job

If the media would quit making articles out of X posts and hosting said posts for clickthroughs that'd be great.

They'll even link to X in articles specifically discussing how bad X or Musk is, like no drop is responsible for the flood

Trump is gonna ramble on about what a "woman job" means in an attempt at damage control, mid-debate with Kamala, and the collective sound of 100 million Americans sharply inhaling will echo through all the streets when he unintentionally endorses her on national TV

Votes are the only thing that's gonna make him lose, and we're gonna need enough votes that something like that couldn't be remotely feasible. I'm hoping no one reads all these articles and thinks there's no reason for them to vote because it's already looking like a slam dunk because it's absolutely not gonna be a slam dunk

... Somebody needs to take this image and make it the background for a JD Vance Linux distro. That shit would be even more of a meme than Hannah Montana

It's not really weird if you look at it like their brains quit developing at 8 years old. Their entire platform is basically 'vaginas are gross, school is dumb, I want a bigger allowance, and stranger danger'
