Pfffffffffft. I mean a real attempt.

Who is a better Catholic, Mr. Biden or Ms. Barrett?

Pelosi.

Yep, you would.

A third nomination: https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6195238657001

Well, we knew the Aussies were nuts, but now we can confirm the same about the Brits:

A member of the British Parliament on Tuesday announced he has nominated Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for the Nobel Peace Prize.

“When others have resorted to violent solutions, [Biden] has argued that the best force is the force of argument,” Chris Bryant, a member of the Labour Party, told the Standard. “Because guns can stop a heart but well-placed words can change many hearts, and many hearts can change a world.”

Any head of state or national politician can nominate someone for the prize. A far-right member of the Norwegian Parliament, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, has nominated President Trump for the honor in both 2018 and 2020.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other peace prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde said in 2020, citing the U.S.-brokered deal normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Very cool idea, but I would imagine the "drama" quality would actually be worse if the actors actually had to deal with the realities of space.

FBI is an aspiration for many young college educated law enforcement types. I don’t see a shortage of those.

I can imagine that the international relations types that the CIA recruits are going to be a bit more scarce in a Trump and post-Trump world.

Foggy Bottom has never lacked for bodies.

@George-K very cool.

History is so neat

@jon-nyc 😥

He tattooed his frigging eyeballs.

Can you boil it down even more?

Some day this will all just go away.

Still too complicated. How about, say, "We are fucked but maybe not"? On that level of discourse, I could maybe begin to understand it.

That would be the fun of it. Figuring out just how shit-faced you had to be before you sounded like a teetotaler.

I’m three for three in outrunning/ditching cops in (vehicle) pursuit.

I’m 1 for 1. When I was in my early 20s, I was driving home after work (movie theater) around midnight. It was kind of a neighborhood area and I turned right on a red light. Suddenly I saw a cop turn on their lights about two blocks to my left and circle around towards me. By this time I was driving up the hill (on the road I just turned onto). Once I got over the crest of the hill, there was a side street. Not sure why I did it but I immediately turned onto that street, parked, and killed the lights. About 5 seconds later the cop went flying past me, didn’t see me.

I’m sorry to hear that you have had a Tourette’s recurrence, but it’s not terribly surprising considering all the stress related to the workplace, COVID, and dealing with White Privelege.

Fortunately, patients with Tourette’s are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Still, it’s odd that your attacks seem to happen on work- based Zoom conferences.

That is slicker than snot on a chrome doorknob.

You guys are awesome influences.

Man I wish I could talk about some things publicly. If you think I'm not being myself throughout all this you're out of your mind.

@Loki

The boyfriend admits he fired (maybe even first) but says it was a warning shot into the floor.

Well, since the officers were carrying .40 cals and the cop who was shot had a 9mms bullet hole, the boyfriend's statement might be a little short of the Truth.

And another thing...Since she was shot six times, collapsing in the hallway, wonder if boyfriend was using her as a shield?

I suggest the DOJ follow Obama's example and doggedly investigate and prosecute the leakers. I am quite sure there is a reporting at the NYT dying to go to jail for contempt when they try to protect their sources.

I think it would be fun to work in an area like that. Do whatever you want - dont worry about past designs, customer wants, etc.

Funny video, but doesn't seem too comfortable for the mom dog! LOL

Stick a fork in Brees. This is definitely his last year.

He needs Thomas. Badly.

What I don’t get is that he completely missed Sanders. Sanders has been consistently one of the best possession receivers over the past 6 years and was sitting wide open last night but Brees wouldn’t send him the rock,

You have to understand how Breed throws. Everything is timing. He throws to spots, not people.

The timing is not there.
