Because 4 years of presidency is equal to a life time in politics?

The authors took shot at the state GOP parties in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, and Kansas, all plan to cancel the 2020 election's primaries and caucuses. The move would cement Trump's nomination in the states and prevent any Republican from challenging him before the general election.
State Republicans officials have claimed that there are "no legitimate primary" challengers to Trump, and that taxpayers would be footing millions of dollars to pay for "an unnecessary primary."

Reading is fun!

Theres no way that between now and November trump doesnt try to threaten to just not have the election due to coronavirus concerns but instead just stay in office until republicans have decided that it is safe enough to have democracy again

to be fair the CPD is clearly a biased institution - e.g. look at the extra criteria they added in 2000 just to keep nader out and favor the two-party duopoly. if i was trump i would be pretty skeptical about them after the microphone malfunctions in his first CPD debate - I doubt it was intentional, but it's totally plausible they were more negligent with preparations for the candidate they saw as a joke

Doesn't change the fact that it appears women in general are more likely to wear a mask to mitigate risk, whereas men self report feeling less susceptible to the virus, or underestimate the risk, or refusing to wear masks because they're uncool or unmanly.

Yeah dudes rampant police brutality is ours.

Mobile users are the majority

responsive web design.

it's supposed to let websites scale properly on all formats, of all resolutions and screen sizes, without having to have specific "mobile" versions of websites.

Oh man, he's one of THOSE.

Wait, so they just tried TEN YEARS ago and lost by a number bigger than a super-majority?

This isn't the first time the state has attempted to change its name: When the state tried in 2010, 78% of voters opposed the removal of "Providence Plantations." But Metts said he has renewed hope.

Despite its name, most of Rhode Island is located on the mainland of the United States. Its official name is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, which is derived from the merger of four Colonial settlements. The settlements of Newport and Portsmouth were situated on what is commonly called Aquidneck Island today but was called Rhode Island in Colonial times. Providence Plantation was the name of the colony founded by Roger Williams in the state's capital of Providence.

"A decade has passed since the public was asked this question. Attitudes may have changed substantially, even in the past few years and even in the past few weeks," Metts said in a statement. "Whatever the meaning of the term 'plantations' in the context of Rhode Island's history, it carries a horrific connotation when considering the tragic and racist history of our nation."

just wait six days then hell show you

Pretty funny how Trump was cleared of treason earlier this year shortly before the pandemic started, yet he's still so guilty! It has to be true, let's stomp our feet even harder until it's true!

1. An impeachment isn't a criminal trial, and its outcome has no bearing on future legal proceedings
2. He wasn't impeached for "treason"
3. Not only was it voted along strictly partisan lines (aside from Romney), the Senate Republicans didn't even vote to allow witnesses to testify, which sets an ABSOLUTELY LOVELY precedent for all future presidential misconduct and made it even more of a joke of an outcome.
4. You're not very bright.

This release, however, comes in the Switch's prime, on a system that's been very successful even among the core gamer audience that Xenoblade appeals to, with a reasonable amount of promotion, and with no appreciable supply constraints (even without considering the digital option). For a lot of people, this genuinely is their first real chance to play the game, which is a real shame because it's a masterpiece that has been hobbled by NoA's refusal to let it be successful.

As someone that hates trump, its true that she wouldn't be any better

I'm not sure why people would rather settle for evil over voting for 3rd parties

If I could only change one thing about XCX, it'd be to make the flying song and background tracks remember their positions when you land so you don't have to hear the first two seconds of each song every time you jump in a skell. That, or remove the flying song entirely, which would solve the problem without sacrificing anything of particular value, but it's really the constant stop/start that bothered me. I was pretty ambivalent about the song itself (though I quite liked the zone themes and would prefer to hear those).

Sony doesnt rate games.

Twitch allows nudity as long as it's not the focus of the game or the stream. They absolutely show favoritism towards both devs and streamers they want to keep happy, but this isn't a particularly egregious example.

I love XCX, but with the amount of changes and QoL features I'd want in a port, I rather they just make a sequel and add them in.

Being intentionally obtuse isn't funny, it just makes you look like an asshole.

Convicted felons can't legally have guns. But there's this thing, "illegal', where you don't follow the law? That's how they get them.

The city says its launching a probe into a Staten Island assistant principal after a racially charged screed against people who wear $200 sneakers while living on public assistance was posted to her Facebook page, The Post has learned.
New Dorp High School assistant principal Deborah Morse-Cunningham will be investigated for the racially charged comment that appeared on her social media account, asking what is privilege?

Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when youve never had a job. Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance, read the post, which has since been removed.
Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you dont have a water bill, where rising property taxes and rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table, it adds.

I lol'd at encouraging supporters to verify hospital attendance. It's such a weird tactic

"Brazilians don't catch anything ... they already have the antibodies to keep it from spreading," the President said.
He said again that Brazilians are likely to be immune to the coronavirus during a March 26 press conference outside the Alvorada presidential residence in Brasilia.
"Brazilians should be studied, we don't catch anything. You see people jumping in sewage, diving in it and nothing happens to them," Bolsonaro said

The following weekend, Bolsonaro attended an anti-lockdown rally in Brasilia without a mask where he coughed several times and shook hands with supporters. Opposition leaders considered the protests "anti-democratic," after signs were seen calling for dissolving the Congress and Supreme Court and for the return of the dictatorship.

Eduardo Pazuello, an army general with no health experience, was named as the interim Health Minister following Teich's resignation.
Pazuello also issued new guidance authorizing the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, for all patients displaying Covid-19 symptoms.
"After two Health Ministers refused to do so and chose to resign instead of signing the document, it was up to General Eduardo Pazuello, who has assumed the ministry on an interim basis, to authorize the use of chloroquine for all Covid-19 patients," Pazuello wrote on his personal Twitter account last month.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked permissions this week for the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 patients. That same day, Brazil's Health Ministry expanded its guidance on the use of the drugs to include pregnant women and children.

Yet, Bolsonaro continues to question the claims that more is needed and that ICUs and hospitals are overcrowded, recently encouraging his supporters to go into the facilities to gather some video proof.
"There are field hospitals and public hospitals near you, find a way to get in and film in there," Bolsonaro said last Thursday during a Facebook live event. "We need more people to go in there and show if these beds are actually full. That helps us and all that material gathered from social media will then be sent to the Federal Police."
Several instances of pro-Bolsonaro lawmakers and supporters trying to gain access to coronavirus treatment wards have recently been registered in the states of Sao Paulo, Espirito Santo and the Federal District, where the capital Brasilia is located.
"This type of behavior is unacceptable at a time when the state of Espirito Santo, the country and the world face this serious crisis," the state health secretariat said in a written statement. "What's worse is that this behavior was encouraged by an irresponsible statement from the leader of this nation."

I'm pretty sure OP was joking with the poll options but I could be wrong

But then again, people will single out candidates like Italy as their least favourite country, even though Italy doesn't have policies anywhere nearly as destructive as Israel. So it's not always a rational choice, is it?

Reading is hard

Why does Israel get this special treatment? Why is it that whenever anyone criticizes Israel, they get smeared as an anti-semite. Hating Israel does not mean hating Jews. Does hating Saudi Arabia mean you hate Muslims? Does hating the United States mean you hate Christians? No. It means you hate that county's government and the shit they do.

Maybe they didn't think the gameplay was dull

Wow, how amazing, a topic about facial recognition just days after John Oliver does a piece on the subject on LWT. What are the odds? >_>

lmao! Thats kind of the case and point right there. Loser.

If he is conflicted ideologically and the cop inside of him thinks physical violence is the key, well... you know... please resign.

kek, TLOU 2 is getting review bombed on Metacritic.

Instead, Trump Supporters will have to sign a declaration that they will not SUE anyone if they catch the virus or DIE from it..
