Call me a Ferrari fan-boy, but that rocket launch start from leclerc was easily one of the top 10 F1 moments of the last half decade.

I think that is true. I also think it allows them to feel superior. The whole "oh, you think that [food] tastes good? I guess you just dont have the refined pallet I do." and so forth.

Hating stuff is fun. Liking things is lame.

There, I explained 99% of social media and internet discourse.

I enjoy this.

As a kid, I used to ask why the Nazis filmed and photographed every atrocity in detail. Like, it’s clearly horrible shit. And I’d always get told, “They were actually proud of it.” I honestly never understood that, and yet here we are and here that is

Eh, not sure I agree. A small child (these guys were kids at 8-10 years old) having to suffer the overwhelming disappointment of his father (Russel says they wouldnt even talk after a poor race) and stuff like that is unhealthy to the extreme for such a small kid.

He has mentioned how his dad was very intense about his junior career. I think George has an older brother that also drove, but didnt take it seriously enough and that disappointed his father. Stuff like that.

I am very pessimistic about how the Final Boss of right wing judges (SCOTUS) will behave if (when?) this gets to them.

As long as he is still king of GOP primaries, they will have a hard time kicking him to the curb.

"you told me it was raining, so I used an umbrella. But now I never got wet and you're saying its still raining? Why would I use an umbrella again, it did nothing the first time"

What a smooth-brain take

This is such an enormous reach. Biden didnt pack the courts which has NEVER (successfully) been done before, and there werent votes in for John Lewis' voting rights in a branch of government that Biden is not a member of. Come on.

And to be clear Trump will pass those voting rights? And fix SCOTUS?

I agree that is not good. And you are right that he's from a bygone era of everyone compromising and then going out for martinis at Le Dip. But I cant find it within me to think this is important in an era of Trump and GOP fascism

What rights did Biden give away?

Strom Thurmond died 21 years ago....

So is your complaint that he is trying to get bipartisan support AFTER the election? I mean, unless the Dems have enough votes for removing the filibuster, than thats just the simple reality. Far less than 51 Dem senators were in support of removing it, and Biden "asking" doesnt change that.

I feel like he did that in his 2020 campaign, and he has already done that for some topics for 2024 (federal law for legalized abortion, etc.). But is your issue with Biden simply that he hasnt clearly enumerated/articulated the congressional votes he needs to get specific platforms?

Walk me through this: who is he asking and what is he asking for?
