Well, how do we know he doesn’t use dialysis and have a colostomy? I mean he was nearly burnt to a crisp, so I imagine a few ‘appendages’ and orifices might have been charred beyond recognition.
Hell, do we know if he can even eat anything or is it all IV?
Better than the half-assed covers that Target plays year-round.
He definitely got that garbage truck all gussied up quick…
I’m assuming it was a box truck with a roller door (like a garage door), and by locked, they might have meant latched. Forgetting to latch the door is a really easy mistake when in a rush or otherwise preoccupied and when the truck hits a bump, the door could easily roll up.
Just him talking about why he doesn’t use a phone case, you can just feel the arrogant better than you additude.
Honestly, Neil D. Tyson comes off as an arrogant douchebag, same with Bill Nye.
Not yet, at least.
The current tech doesn’t really factor in road conditions AFAIK. Which is a pretty big factor that dictates how brakes should be applied to stop safely.
One example is, if you’re driving along an area with a soft or no shoulder during rain or snow, stopping suddenly could easily make the car slide off the road and end up upside-down or down a cliff. There unfortunately are times where hitting someone/something is unavoidable, along with being the safest option and the decision making capability isn’t fully there yet.
I definitely agree. There really should be some sort of vetting processes in place. (An in depth psych eval would do wonders)
The biggest issue is that constitution would need to be amended to add the investigation process to the other three requirements, which could take years upon years to ever get approved. Also, going by the current trend of our political system, being denied could be seen as (or may even be) political subterfuge or gatekeeping by whichever side.
Our system, while it is working for the moment, it really does need improvements. This past eight years being the glowing proof of it.
I’ve heard it was more closer to 10 years for a TS/SCI, though it could possibly be more if the investigation finds a blip or for a high level position like a DA.
The presidency however is exempt from needing to go through the process as they were elected into it. As bad as it sounds, with the way the democracy was built and is run, everything would come to a screeching halt if all of the presidents/elected officials needed to go through a lengthy (1yr +) investigation just to have the possibility of starting their job. Instead, they are actively judged of their in/actions during their tenure and impeached (or worse) if needed.
But as you said, the investigators do not release any info and only provide an approval/denial to whomever sponsored (paid) the clearance check. Their only job is to create a profile so they can determine if the person can be trusted with privileged information and not be coerced to release it.
The best explanation I’ve come up with after discussing politics at length with them is that they are gaslit. Pure and simple. They just have enough gullibility to see one tiny thing that coincides with something they were taught or otherwise believe. It also explains why they are being scammed so easily on truthsocial.
Trump just has that dirty salesman skill of creating a story with just enough validity or truth and twisting everything to his favor.
And it would just fall apart when opened while someone tries using it during a riot.
For those that may feel pressured to make snap decisions by all of these “I voted early” or “I already mailed in my my ballot” stories. Researching all of the measures and candidates and waiting until election day to vote when you have as much info as you could gain is perfectly fine and is actually preferred over making an uninformed vote.
The important thing is that you do vote, and taking a bit more time to feel comfortable with your decisions is not a bad thing. It just shows that you are an attentive voter and may just have more things going on in your life to be able go through all the info/research at once.
Trump: You think that’ll work?
Trump’s lawyer: Hypothetical excuses are bad. They can ruin the credibility of your defense. M’kay?
Trump: (to the media) If I did do it, it would have made it a smart concept, and therefore it would make me a genius.
Trump’s lawyer: …
Some special peanut butter cups in that McFlurry.
Honestly, they should just put a box or dome over him as it would just need someone crazy enough but smart enough to calculate an arc.
Better yet, just hold the rallies in a properly inspected building. (Not sure if any property owners will let them rent anymore though.)
Seeing the top and back completely open, I see it as just for show/security theater.
You can still dress as Zelda from OOT
To be perfectly blunt and without the typical humor that’s been associated with him… I would say it could be a fear he sees of him losing ground with the realization that all of his problems and misdeeds are finally catching up to him and one of the very few paths out is slipping away.
For someone who could be seemingly suffering from what may be, or something similar to NPD; seeing a lot of what one created, appearing at least to their eyes, to be starting to erode can be very distressing to one’s psyche. This I imagine would cause that person to lash out, similar to how one would act in a fight or flight scenario.
I vote for who I think is the better person; who, 99% of the time is not a republican. (still waiting for that 1% to prove the stat)
