I mean, for some people, it is. When you're exploring your identity, you don't always get it right on your first try. Just like there are people who are convinced they're straight that are actually gay (or bi, or pan, or what have you). Though that is far more common, largely because of the societal pressures to conform to heteronormativity.

But then, perhaps that truly is Vance's case here. Maybe he actually is gay, and his whole... everything is just him trying desperately to convince himself otherwise.

Sounds a lot like what Americans faced when Bush attacked Iraq. And just as justified (ie not unjustified, but perhaps taken to extremes).

Israelis: Your government has made your nation a pariah. You are the people best positioned to change that. Get those motherfuckers out of office.

Most phones actually require pin/password on boot, and only let you use fingerprint/face unlock to unlock later in the session, as a security feature. So if he turned his phone off, even that wouldn't work.

I think you misunderstand. This is a business that uses the "fulfilled by Amazon" program, which means they never even saw the return. Amazon received the return, processed it, deemed it worthy of resale as a new item, and shipped it back out without them being involved at all. But they're the ones that ended up with the black eye from it.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Musk said he is planning to contribute around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super PAC, dubbed America PAC. In donating to the PAC, he will join the Winklevoss twins, Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of the spy tech firm Palantir Technologies; and former U.S. Ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft along her husband Joe Craft, the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, a coal producer.

A veritable who's who of America's douchiest rich assholes.

And just because he was registered as Republican, doesn't mean he was necessarily a Trump supporter. After all, those Lincoln Project guys had to come from somewhere.

Clearly, God needed a little help getting in shape.

The sad thing is, according to the article, this was originally an anti-Klan law. And now it's being used to selectively and falsely prosecute black kids.

Oh no! How dare he fucking swear at a cop?! Clearly, this fucking shit could not be allowed to fucking stand.

How about the cop grow the fuck up and not go off on a fucking immature power trip just because a teenager swore at him?

Fuck that pig.

Yes, Clinton won the popular vote, but she certainly didn't win the election. And that was largely because of the systemic bias, which favors the more racist, sexist elements of this country.

And Obama had to be the perfect candidate to win. A family man, no skeletons in his closet whatsoever, with a charisma the political world hasn't seen since JFK. And his election brought those awful elements of our society to the fore, and touched off a fascist revolution that is still going on today, which the leader of won the presidency on the back of and is in danger of winning it again.

This country does have a lot of racism and sexism. More than most would like to admit, including you, it seems. And Kamala Harris isn't a strong enough candidate to overcome that, especially when you combine it with the other factors of having to unite a fractured party, coming into the race late, and being chosen at the convention rather than through the primary process.

Somehow the HoB's bit never gets old. They look incredible every single time.

Can't wait until Buddy and Julia are back and they are back at full strength

The company I work for has a production and shipping facility down near Houston that has been closed down since Monday due to the lack of power. It's insane.
