I'm not sure "cheeto" is a good nickname now that Genocide Joe has gotten the ol' spray tan treatment as well. LOL. We're going to have to start asking "Which cheeto?"

I find it hilarious either way.

No, I don't think there's much of a distinction in the U.S. Just a bit of an implication about how much InDiViDuAL ReSPonSiBiLitY there was in you losing your job. Like if you apply to another job and your prospective hirer asks you why you left the old one, if you tell them you were "laid off" they'll probably think it was mostly a "structural problem" at your old employer (though there's still a bit of a question of why you were laid off and not some other person), whereas if you told them you were fired (usually you just don't) they'd be asking a lot more questions and probably just turning you down without much more consideration.

Though also if the place which "lays you off" immediately hires someone in the same position, you might have some small chance of going after them for wrongful termination (usually only if you can also tie it to likely discrimination of some sort). Usually such lawsuits are a waste of your time and energy, though, as they can take years, are severely weighted in companies' favor, and rarely have any kind of satisfying outcome even if you "win".

...could help deliver the first pause in fighting since November....

Wasn't the pause in which they released a bunch of hostages in like March or April or something?

The real coup attempt. And he wasn't even trying, folks.

I think it'd be pretty funny if Biden won, and then immediately died of a heart attack when hearing the news.

But yeah, I unironically do think "Project 2025" has more of a chance of going further if Democrats hold the presidency. Especially Genocide Joe. The guy's been more effective at implementing Trump policy than Trump was.

What Keir has done is taken all the left out of the Labour Party

So it now "represents labor" in the same way the U.S. Democratic "Party" does, eh? What a genius plan to represent labor without representing labor! Liberalism truly is glorious!

Jesus christ. It's Genocide Joe laughing in BLM activists' faces all over again. The mask is fucking OFF.

Hilarious if true, but I'm not sure I trust the Telegraph's...ah...."optimism" on this.

I don't know what they're worried about. The government never follows its own rules "to the letter" anyway. I guess they're just protesting against having to do a little extra paperwork when they're caught in their lies or something. shrug-outta-hecks

Liberals' packing of the court, vs. my destroying of the court.

The damned thing isn't even constitutionally mandated to decide the constitutionality of legislation; it literally just self-perscribed that function. LMFAO. Not only should it be destroyed, but it never even really existed the way U.S. mythology describes it.
