@kay_dub That is the western US consumer price index from the US dept of labor statistics. And lest you think I am cherry picking, I just couldn't source a graph on this time scale for the whole country. But I'm pretty sure it would look like this regardless.

@Kinnison Talk about GasLighting!

@WeThePeople the upshot is that he was jailed and cutting a deal to turn rat/insider-with-a-wire, when all leverage that prosecutors had evaporated with the pardon. Then he went straight back to crime.

@DJNoneYa I am going to cry tears of liquid CO2!!

@grrlscientist Those guys really know how to read a room!

@MrGoat That is AI-generated work😆 !

It takes about 2000 Joules to heat a cubic meter of air by 1 degree C. It takes roughly 4,200,000 Joules to heat a cubic meter of water by the same amount. The oceans have been masking the true effect of #GlobalWarming for 5 decades or more. They are getting fed up with it, and over the next decade we are going to feel the heat. #ClimateChange

@th3j35t3r @spacesloth 😆

@Pungent I hear you. Ironically, Biden is, functionally, the most progressive president since Kennedy.

@AskTheDevil Thanks for the perspective!

@TheNewsOwl Who are these people (22% of Black voters) that would vote for Trump if the election were held today?

Is anyone here dissatisfied with the Presidency of Biden? If so, why? I am curious about where the low approval for Biden is coming from heading into 2024?

@BrentSullivan Language matters. They did not vote to "overturn an election". They voted against certifying the electoral count. If they had won that vote, the decision would have been thrown down to the states. We can speculate on how that would turn out, but it doesn't matter now. Voting is their job. They voted. They are allowed to do that. Dozens, however did shadier shit. They are in peril.

@BrentSullivan A vote alone is not necessarily participation in an insurrection. But there are quite a few that were more active in the steal. Some face talks at the Jan 6th event to rile the crowd. Others were involved in the voting machine data scandal, or were involved in the false electors scheme. They are at risk now.

@MrSteve I'll take the cash. My credit is already outstanding, and I can out-invest the delta on the weekly payout.

@BrentSullivan It is still a significant ruling. The judge ruled that there was an insurrection, and while the President wasn't prosecutable by virtue of not being "an officer" of the gov't, many, many congressmen and lower level gov't officials are "officers" of the gov't. Now that this has been acknowledged as an insurrection, they can be disqualified from running for office again.

@GeezerWench Yeah. The kid picked the bright ones. It's the electric pickup, and he thought the bright blue looked like lightning.
