By indemnifying the corporations that forced some of those people either into unsafe conditions or out of work? That's not "playing politics", its protecting people over industry. People will obtain many many times more "protection" by receiving economic relief right now than th...

Isn't it a bad thing to play politics with people's lives?

At least the top four in that list. Something tells me Cyprus and Malta are probably also pretty MAGAish.

I'm pretty sure it was someone else he killed. He plowed straight into the driver's side of the other car.

Hey DSafe, how is your mom doing? As far as I know, well. She was in very good spirits when I talked to her on Thanksgiving morning, but I plan on calling her tomorrow (haven't heard anything since and the home she is at is good at contacting my sister who lives nearby, if needed). Thanks for askin...

So, this fatal wreck happened on my quiet residential street over the weekend. I was a witness to the events leading up to it (though not the crash itself), and it easily could have been me who the driver hit, instead of the ultimate victim. https://twitter.com/SLCScanner/status/1335089898890481665?...

Yep. My kid picked up Shane Lowry's wayward tee shot today. I wasn't at the course with him, and it was right as he and the rest of the family arrived. The entire crowd scared the shit out of him, and he immediately dropped the ball. Lowry could not have been better about it. A rules official came ...

Bingo. Laverne and Shirley was fine. If you really wanted something more highbrow and sophisticated back then, that’s what PBS was for.

Have you read the Bible? God is pretty horrific and vengeful.
Some of us read past the first few books.

Lol.

I've been on a shitload of zoom calls over the past 10 months, but this is actually the first where I actually have a button up on but lounge pants as well. Business up top, party down below.

Serves me right for actually being somewhat productive today.

I'm not seeing anything on this, however - do you have a link to what Pelosi agreed to?

I do understand that. I don't understand how this relates to the latest terrible thing that McConnell - sorry, I mean Pelosi - has done.

I guess I'm missing the story - is the Republican Senate passing a more generous aid package and Pelosi's demanding cuts?

Because, man, those couple months leading up to the election were doom and gloom, cataclysmic, earth is ending level media coverage and it seems like a while bunch of people were able to vote without issue. Yeah but to be fair, every issue leading up to the election was like that. Remember when Tru...

I certainly don't agree with Mr. D about the lack of difference between Dems and R's. But, it is awfully discouraging that all these fucking politicians feel like they don't have to follow the rules they dictate for others. In addition to Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco joined a big birthday par...

"I'm the President, so how can they say I don't have standing?" The fun part about Trump's standing meltdown is that the reason the plaintiffs in these lawsuits don't have standing is because Trump himself apparently hasn't been a party to any of the lawsuits. It's been Trump for Presiden...

I was going to strongly say not to go but he agreed immediately. So I’m headed home. Bonus: the SIL works for my wife so they’ve been in office all week together. BIL lost taste today.

So it looks like the Sundance Film Festival will be online this year. Which sucks for me, but it's great for folks who may be interested but who can't or don't want to travel to Utah in January.

The redacted name didn't redact the apostrophe at the end of it and there is no "s" after said apostrophe, the individual's last name therefore ends in "s." That's not really accurate, although it's possible whoever wrote it up made that mistake. A name that ends in 's' still ge...

I love that it's "We the People" who are asking the military to nullify an election because the people overwhelmingly chose the other guy.

NY just dumped a bunch of absentee/early ballot results.

Biden's popular vote total is now over 81 million and his lead is 6.9 million.

Pretty nice.

Maybe this will be the thing that finally brings Trump down.
