Really burying the lede that most of these people were already out of prison and Biden was just wiping their records since they’d been good after leaving prison.

But that’s not as fun as JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY SENT MURDEROUS DRUG DEALERS TO YOUR GRANDMAS HOUSE.

This won’t make a significant difference in the race. Anyone who was going to vote for Sheehy will read this as “saying what they all know to be true” and anyone who wasn’t going to vote for him will continue to not do so.

The Montana Republican Party paid for the Greens to gather signatures in 2020 to help them try to spoil Dem votes, so this is nothing new for Montana. The republicans there are known for funding spoiler candidates and those candidates are just happy to be getting money at all.

I would agree if it wasn’t coming from a cop, the only person legally empowered to murder you and get away with it.

It’s different coming from someone who has the authority to act on that “your life is of low value” statement.

Government mandated ad-buys don’t sound very “free speech” to me.

You should be a fan of this, since it was the DNC forcing everyone to accept Hillary that allowed Trump to win.

It’s not really a coincidence that mainstream media (even the alleged liberal media) constantly covers for and actively rehabs the image of Trump and also happens to be entirely owned by billionaires who would stand to gain a lot from Trump cutting their taxes and eliminating the regulatory apparatus of the country.

I’m not the same person who started this and didn’t say the earlier stuff you’re upset about but go off king.

Again, the crux of your arguement is “Russia is not claiming Ukraine” and your support for this is actions taken in the past that are no longer relevant as they have been superseded by more recent activity.

You are basically arguing that Germany promised not to invade anyone else if they just got the Sudetenland while being fully aware that the rest of WWII happened. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that Russia totally said they love independent areas when again, their army is parked there and they passed a more recent law saying that territory is theirs. This is just bad faith arguing on behalf of an actor who very much does whatever benefits them at that exact second.

Not only is this article 2 years old, it predates the entire invasion. You cannot possibly think this fact matters in the slightest right now, in the context that Russia parked their army in that territory and said “lol this is actually our land now.”

Tim was probably on the way out sooner rather than later anyway, but I don’t think the larger problem with the Vision Pro is that the Venn diagram of people who think it’s cool and people who can afford it is way, way too small.

Ford is the worst offender (and more specifically the one who does electric SUVs) but the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Hornet are gas/hybrid SUVs that reused nameplates from sportier coupes on an SUV. I suspect the Honda Prologue might’ve been the Prelude at some point but that’s just a guess. At least that one didn’t get a reused name.
