Should Jiminy Glick moderate the Trump Biden debate

Biden accomplishments that've made life better for Magats

Read this list. Try to memorize it and weaponized it next time you find yourself in an argument with an ungrateful MAGAnaut who's voting against their own interest

30 things Biden did that you may have missed

1. Expanded overtime guarantees for millions
2. OTC birth control pill in U.S. stores
3. Renewable power is now the No. 2 source of electricity in the U.S.
4. Preventing discriminatory mortgage lending
5. A sweeping crackdown on “junk fees” and overdraft charges from banks
6. Forcing Chinese companies to open their books (Trump never did anything like that the way the Chinese kept owning him so hard)
7. Building armies of drones to counter Chinese aggression (+ strengthening alliances with Taiwan, Philippines, S.Korea & Japan to contain Chinese aggression)
8. The nation’s farms get big bucks to go “climate-smart”
9. Brokered a deal to save the Colorado River (Trump was letting that problem go on ignored)
10. Giving smaller food producers a boost (Trump only helped big farm corporations, not family farms -- and actually he screwed over the giant food corps when his optional pet trade war with China killed their exports business to China )
11. Bringing microchip production home
12. New international restrictions on data and privacy for tech firms
13. Cracking down on cyberattacks
14. Expanding cancer research
15. Making medication more accessible through telemedicine
16. Capping the price of insulin to stop pharma predators
17. Producing more oil than any time in history
18. Making airlines pay up when flights are delayed or canceled...

There's plenty more... and this is an article from February. It needs updates, which hopefully y'all could help with. Help me by posting other readymade arguments to inform people of what all the Biden admin has done to improve our country -- something Trump only tried to do once (banning bumpstocks, which his three stooges managed to undo the next time the far right rang their little bells)

Disgusting old fuck. Even Alito knows to pretend he cares about crime victims on this one.

Rudy Giuliani Is Running The Risk of Blowing Up His Own Bankruptcy Case

Source: Talking Points Memo

Creditors are asking the judge to appoint a trustee who would commandeer Giulaini’s assets; meanwhile, reports said, the U.S. Trustee indicated that it may soon move to dismiss the case, stripping Giuliani of the legal protection offered by Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

And, at a contentious Monday hearing, the judge in the case reportedly suggested that he’s becoming increasingly fed up with Giuliani.

“There are reasons to be very concerned here. I’m not going to beat a dead horse,” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said.

Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in December, days after a federal jury found that he owed $148 million to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss for defaming them. That claim constitutes the overwhelming majority of Giuliani’s $153 million debt; additional unsecured creditors include former Giuliani employee Noelle Dunphy, who accused Giuliani of sexual harassment and assault, and Dominion Voting Systems.

You know, it's frustrating how Trump about half the time weasels out of whatever self inflicted traps he's made throughout his criminal ugly life.

But honestly, for a good solid giggle at karmic justice in action, you can always count on Rudy. He's always been Daffy Duck to Trump's Bugs Bunny.

How times change and yet how mammalian anatomical power dynamics never do. If you study how other apes, the furry ones, display dominance and submission, you know exactly what's going on here. If you study recent history, you know how this turns out



People wake up from delusions one at a time. It takes a personal story, either one's own catharsis or the proximity of a loved one who's life is affected by trauma, betrayal, or catastrophic circumstances. The key to curing half the country of their blind-to-danger delusions is to tell the stories of how people who trust in (or who just happen to be vulnerable to) Trump inevitably get burned.

NASA's animation of how a black hole would shred a star (52 seconds)

Except, of course, there wouldn't be the sound they added. More interesting is this next video of what would happen if you fell into a black hole. Coolest part is at 2:10.

map of the sun

Now, keep in mind that the sun is constantly changing, so the map is only valid for a few seconds. Also this particular picture is a composite, so it takes longer to make the map than the amount of time that it's good for. Also, it's not a map.

But remember, the sun's diameter is equivalent to 109 Earths, or about 112 Venuses. So each of those burning plasma arches you see down there are probably jumping over the equivalent of two Earths, or about 2.05 Venuses. No, it's not more accurate to say "2.05 Veni" plus I just make up that number. I'm probably off.

But dang, this is pretty.

Jordan Peterson explains Trump to Dennis Prager

Not sure he intended to, but he nails it.

I wonder where Jordan gets all his amazing insights into narcissism... 🤔

(0ooops, guess you gotta click it & view on YouTube -- it takes about 40 seconds)
