Am I the only one who remembers that Biden said he would only serve 1 term

You’re not the only one who remembers this, but it never happened. There were off the record aides suggesting that but Biden never made any sort of public commitment or suggestion he would only serve a single term.

The American Prospect has some pretty good analysis as well.

I’ve played through undertale on my deck, works great, had zero issues. I prefer the controller for this game Eta: it’s a stellar game too, definitely recommend it.

You also need a fillibuster proof majority in the Senate which the Democrats have had even less time with, so that 4 years when they could pass legislation is actually significantly shorter. Last time they had full control was during Obama, that lasted 4 months and they passed the ACA.

So would other warning labels required by law also be considered a campaign against said products?

To be fair, these are significantly better than the tags an employee has it remove with some tool.

Yeah I agree. Hell they probably could’ve just tossed an n95 on her face to stop the spitting. Let her scream until she loses steam.

Holy shit I totally forgot Dennis Rodman was best friends with Kim Jong Un. Id probably be cool with that being authorized, the last thing we need is that little dictator thinking he can grab a rebound.

I think they had zip cuffs, they just used the duct tape to keep her in the seat and keep her from spitting. They made the right call, and that lady definitely needs some kind of mental health intervention.

Yeah it’s awful, I really hope they fail but I’m not entirely sure they will. Most people who sign up are probably pretty good advertising targets.

Okay obviously SCOTUS is the problem here, but Dick Fucking Durbin should’ve subpoena every single one of those fucks to testify before Congress. I don’t care if they refuse, send the Sergeant At Arms and drag them in. And I’m not talking about just the conservatives. I want to know why the fuck Kagan, Sotomayor, and KBJ don’t think they need an enforceable ethics code, because they’ve signed on to that too.

Letting these unelected zealots operate with minimal pushback is completely unacceptable.

I mean, Telly is giving away TVs that have a camera and second screen to play ads. Sony might not think they could get away with it a decade ago, but consumers seem to slowly accept more bullshit over time so I could definitely see their calculus changing in the future.

Honestly I think it’s just a shit idea. Only way I could see it flying is if you heavily (or completely) subsidized the cost of the television. There’s already a company giving away free ad supported TVs.

Yeah absolutely, here’s the filing:

Oh Sony is all over it, here’s one of the diagrams of their patent.

Usually season 2. At that point the writing team has their footing but isn’t out of ideas and trying to drag it out. Most shows start going downhill in season 3/4.

Remember Dems have only had all 3 (house, Senate, presidency) for 4 years of the last 24 years.

And when you take it to a filibuster-proof majority they have had even less control than that.

And a large part of that is because the GOP has a much easier job, they just need to stop the Democrats. They have no real interest in passing legislation most of the time, they simply need to stop the Democrats from enacting policy by whatever means possible and they’ve accomplished their goal. That’s why the Democrats have to compromise and the GOP doesn’t. It’s not really a mystery.

Absolutely. Obligatory fuck Joe Lieberman.

even though they’ve been in power a significant part of that time

Since 1981 Democrats have had control of the Presidency and Congress a whopping 4 years. One 2 year period under Clinton and one under Obama. That’s without factoring in the ability to fillibuster in the Senate. In over 40 years they’ve only had control 10% of the time.

maybe if Democrats actually did stuff to *make every day citizens lives better

That period of filibuster-proof control during Obama’s term is why we have the ACA. It was ~70 days and they passed the largest healthcare overhaul in generations.
