Great now that’s all I’ll think about when I hear TJ Maxx.

Generally speaking the bar for the insanity defense isn’t even insanity. If he were insane but capable of understanding that beating someone with a hammer was wrong he’d fail to meet the bar. You basically have to have no idea at all what you’re doing or that it’s wrong, and you have the burden of proving it.

Yeah I’m sure it pushed all the Trump supporters who were about to vote for Harris into rethinking their positions…

Not currently

Because otherwise the superpowers have zero incentive to participate at all.

It’s one of the core principles of fascism. The enemy is at once weak, feeble, and inferior yet simultaneously powerful, cunning, and insidious.

If he has to divulge his divestment it’s going to go to 0 before he can sell it all. If he doesn’t need to divulge it, it’s still going to go close to zero because the market for that stock won’t hold if 60% of it hits the market. If he’s been able to borrow against it, he’ll probably default and leave his lenders holding the bag.

If he’s on any ballots he might well be stuck on them, but nothing stops him from ceasing to campaign and telling people to vote Trump.

Ofc some tiny fraction may still vote for him if they really want to.

Once they get their Russian citizenship any of the Americans that do this should remember to find a US embassy/consulate and renounce their citizenship so they don’t get taxed by Uncle Sam.

She was free from him and sought him out. She drove from Milwaukee to Kenosha, shot him twice in the head, set his house on fire, and stole his car. It was premeditated murder.

What happened to the other person?

I’ve noticed that this happens a lot. It’s “what poll?” “this poll” and then all of a sudden some other person jumps in with a new line of questioning.

I have no clue. That’s kind of a fundamental part of this format of social media. Multiple people can converse with different viewpoints.

I absolutely refuse to accept the logic that it would have been better to have a month of infighting about who the candidate should be, as opposed to unifying behind a single strong candidate who was leading in the polls. Who would you rather have had?

I don’t think it would’ve been good either. Like I said:

I personally have no issue with Harris as the nominee, the process that got her there, and she has my vote.

I would’ve preferred this whole mess have been avoided so there could have been actual primary during the normal primary timeframe. Maybe Harris would’ve came out on top, maybe not. Without any campaigning I’m not going to take any of the “literally anyone besides who is actually running” polls from the primary season seriously.

The parties are private entities and can set whatever rules they like for selecting a nominee. That said, this was technically still the same representative democratic process. Voters selected the delegates (which are bound on the first round voting only), but Biden dropped out and released his delegates to vote whichever way they wanted.

Certainly I would’ve preferred for Biden to drop out last year and have had a full primary. But you can’t make someone accept the nomination when they don’t want it, and there are rules and a process for the already selected delegates to vote for someone else.

I personally have no issue with Harris as the nominee, the process that got her there, and she has my vote. But I’m not sure polls that are that hypothetical are worth very much when it wasn’t a fully serious primary but more a rubber stamp on the incumbent.

If Biden would have decided not to run last year and let there be a full primary those polls don’t really convince me that Harris would have been the nominee. (For one thing there would have been actually campaigns by her and by alternatives.)

After the Biden debate they just stopped talking essentially and it made it all look polished. Now that Harris is in they suddenly have to actively campaign again and against someone competent, so they’re crumbling.

The USSS probably wouldn’t let him try to move to a state like Venezuela. Even a close ally country would cause logistics problems for his security detail long term.

Everyone looks like a leftist when you’re an avowed fascist.

There’s no way they realistically hold or capture any of this. They just don’t have the logistics. But it’s an amazing opportunity to create a dilemma for Russia. They either 1) ignore it and let Ukrainian forces rampage around in Russian territory unopposed or 2) they redeploy forces from the front to defend Russian territory.

The Ukrainian forces should stay nimble either way, and retreat without too big a fight back to their own territory in the latter case, hopefully having caused enough of a diversion for a counteroffensive where they need it.

He reposted it saying “the Internet was a mistake”, probably trying to pass it off as something that just came up when he was scrolling. Think, right wingers ranting about the immorality of big tech, etc. But the screenshot shows he searched for it.

Nah. Decarboxylation is about transforming THCA to THC. THCA isn’t really psychoactive, but THC is. You convert it with heat, which if you’re smoking is fairly easily achieved. For preparation for edibles you may need to decarboxylate as a separate step, except with baked goods IIRC.

Isn’t delta-9 the THC that most people think of wrt marijuana? If so, my experience ranged from barely feeling anything, to a mild pleasant high, to so intense it was unpleasant. (In the last instance I was impatient, didn’t feel the effects quick enough and took more.)

I was under the impression that the rise in federal legal sale of delta-9 edibles was because the farm bill allows concentrations of 0.3% by weight – so in edible form you can make the gummy or whatever big enough to still include a decent dose.
