I think that's just normal districting. If they wanted to gerrymander the pizza, there would be one freakish slice that weaves around all the pepperoni and gets none.

The same way I use a computer mouse, suboptimally with my off hand, but it was the only option when I was learning as a child and now I'm stuck because it works well enough. I think most lefties have decent capability with their right hand because it's occasionally unavoidable to use it for something.

It's referencing a Biden quote from an interview in 2020:

You got more questions? I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.

The rounds Attridge fired while traveling at 768 mph left their cannons at approximately 2,000 miles per hour. However, immediately after being fired, they encountered enough air resistance to produce significant drag. This drag resulted in a greatly reduced forward velocity, causing their trajectory to curve downward—directly into the flight path of the aircraft from which they had been fired. As the bullets descended and their speeds decreased to about 400 mph, the Tiger also descended but with an increased speed of 880 mph. Just as he began to pull out of his descent, Attridge was struck three times. The first bullet pierced his nose cone, the second went through his windshield, and the final one directly struck his right engine intake. The time between him firing the first rounds and taking the hits was a mere 11 seconds.

"It's appalling and sad that Senator Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents," Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said at a briefing on Wednesday afternoon.

As one of his constituents I certainly don't feel like he's lacking empathy. I'm definitely planning on voting for him again.

Even the administration admits that it will make things more expensive. The "passthrough" of 0.25 in their equation means Americans will pay 25% of the tariff amount. And it's in the denominator, so if it was 0, the (limit of the) tariff rate would go to infinity, which means no amount of tariff would be effective.

I can't believe he married a DEI spouse. He should have married a much more competent white man.
