Whoa. A full blanket pardon. Biden is the most courageous president in a long time.

Yay

I'm at the point where I want the Dems to time things for midterms. I'll accept a delay on policy if it keeps the GOP out of power.

Now Trump has precedent for the blanket 1/6 pardon

Only 4%, jeeze

Please get the bivalent booster if you havent already!

I only just got an email saying I am eligible this week.

...I don't even know what this is, was waiting until February to refresh my shot.

My country only has second boosters open to over 50s, healthcare workers and vulnerable people though deaths are down to 2 per day. I will get it if and when it becomes available.

I got it already. Got the flu shot in my left and the booster one my right.

but yeah the messaging on this has been a disaster. The only reason I knew about it and got it already is because my wife is immune-compromised so she was on top of all that information.

Musk on Twitter a few days ago was going off about how the Ukraine should just concede a bunch of territory to Russia and stop fighting.

he makes it all the way to the point but still fails to see it (Well, cynically of course he does and this is just PR talk)

Women's opinions only have value if they are the same as a man's opinion. That's the GOP position. Why would I ever vote for the GOP when that's the case? I don't see how anyone can.

Its an updated shot that contains vaccines against both the original strain and the currently dominant strain (BA.5), so it should provide better protection than previous boosters. It became available about a month ago for anyone who has completed the initial shots and is at least two months out from their most recent shot or booster (bizarrely, unvaxxed people are still required to go with the old vaccine).

I kinda feel like at that point it would be less cruel just to straight up tell the kid that he didnt want a relationship with him rather than stringing him along.

correction to the tweet: he actually says that they're at their most fertile between the ages of 17 and 24.

obviously, this rant is incredibly dumb anyway but yeah.

Democratic LA City Council members caught saying insanely racist and psycho shit about other Democratic City Council members, their families, and gerrymandering their districts.

The fact they just issued apologies and didnt immediately step down is fuckin nuts.

I can never see the name Matt Gertz without thinking it's Matt Gaetz.

Apparently Hannity thinks this reflects poorly on Biden for some reason?

Conservative talk radio is a really really negative place. Probably eventually you stop seeing positive things in people and only look for the worst angles.

Honestly a little surprised she didn't do the full party flip. She had been itching to leave the party for what seems like six-seven years now.

Tulsi releases grand statement: "Water is wet". More at 11.

lmao this just in guys totally breaking news Jay Leno just took the Tonight Show back from Conan

ngl tho she at least gave me a lol but whining about "anti-white racism" in her big announcement for "leaving"

what a surprise

Right before Musk posted his "Ukraine peace proposal" that was "Ukraine gives Russia everything they want and only then will Russia come to the table" he spoke with Putin.

Reminder that Ukraine suddenly had problems with Starlink as well shortly after Musk talked to Putin.

Lock 'em up.

Partisan republican hack pollster Trafalgar has Warnock up a point. Good sign!

You know, they are partisan but they were also the closest pollsters of 2020

So their polling is a good benchmark of what the polls will look like if their is a Republican bias (Which I strongly believe isn't correlated one way or the other and polls could be Democrat biased this year)

So Warnock up a point worst case scenario is indeed a good sign

This does not support your claim in any way

Ok. I'm not re-listening to an old podcast to try to prove my point. I found a source that shows how trafalgar got moved up to A- because of their polls being accurate in 2020 when everyone else's weren't. If you want more than that listen to that podcast yourself

I don't need to, fortunately, because I already know that Trafalgar was not the most accurate pollster of 2020, I've looked this up already. There were other pollsters more accurate. In terms of 'guessing the races correctly', they were not accurate at all - their reputation for this is entirely based on 2016 when they called Trump winning the election, but their presidential race predictions in 2020 were hilariously bad. In terms of having a fairly consistent bias, they're reasonably accurate, which is why 538 moved them up.

Let's all go back to high school science class and recognize that accuracy <> precision
