Ah yes, the Fourth Amendment right to drive a vehicle while intoxicated. You could argue that the Founders were referring to horses and buggies, but clearly the spirit of the law was that it should be legal to get intoxicated and operate any mode of transportation. We'll see how that airline pilot's case goes, though. I'm worried that his right to fly drunk will be infringed.

It sure would be a shame if people started talking about the rumor that Laura Loomer is pregnant with Trump's love child. I don't know if there's any truth to the rumor at all. It's just a rumor I heard people are talking about.

The only way a third party would be viable in the US is if it grew organically from small, local races that aren't captured by large donors. A dedicated group of volunteers knocking on doors and spreading a message can have a real effect in those races. Get a few candidates in office and start doing some good, and a party can grow around it. Draw up a blueprint for how you did it, and spread it around to other towns and cities, making allies with other local groups as they spring up.

Is that easy to do? Of course not, but that would be a viable path for the formation of a functioning third party.

Nothing spices up a marriage like Communism.

MAGAt 1: How could a woman speak so intelligently and run circles around Trump? It's almost like our entire view of women as lesser than men on every level is somehow wron-

MAGAt 2: A MAN TOLD HER WHAT TO SAY WITH MAGIC EARRINGS

MAGAt 1: Praise Republican Jesus! You figured it out!

Maybe the word "directly" didn't translate well. If Russia engages NATO directly, their forces will be wiped off the map. Ukraine is using old NATO equipment from the 90s that was pulled out of storage and kicking all kinds of Russian ass. Direct NATO involvement would mean carrier groups, F35s, stealth bombers, and a whole lot of other fun things the Russians have zero answer for.

I really, really wish it was.

"The Harris campaign released a new schedule that shows she will be appearing in the same city at the same time as every scheduled Trump rally. The campaign has employed official 'crowd counters,' who will be monitoring both the attendance and crowd retention for every rally. The Harris Campaign will then post live updates on crowd size and early exits on its new account on Truth Social."

Edit: Forgot to add /s

Yes, this will likely be the primary value of the Kursk offensive. Ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back because of Putin's numerous red lines. Invading and holding Russian territory with impunity demonstrated that those red lines don't exist. Putin either lacks the will or the internal support to back up his continuous threats of escalation with the West.

The polls immediately after a debate don't necessarily measure its full impact. Trump's perception as a strongman who dominates his opponents has now been broken with the entire country watching. There's no way to tell how that's going to shape the race moving forward. And the "living in strange times" X factor is how the loss is handled by Trump himself. He may shrug it off and hit the campaign trail harder, or it may have serious effects on what seems to be an already fragile mental state. Again, time will tell.

"We're so incredibly big and control so much of the market that you can't sell it and recreate our domination in another form," is a really strange defense to a monopoly prosecution. That's exactly the position AT&T was in when the DOJ took a sledgehammer to it back in the day.
