Same. If anything, the Rock might be better able to save it. But he has made bad decisions before.

You got back into lawyering? I thought you quit that to run a taco truck.

I started the taco truck while in law school and sold it in 2018 when I passed the bar. I'm not a big fan of being a lawyer (or the poo poo pay) so I went to school and got a masters in finance in May. I'm unfortunately practicing law until I find something better.

specifically over comments about Dersh and Epstein.


Full letter is in the article. Including the galaxy-brained take of a fictional character saying "this is my opinion, not fact" means that the statement should be construed as fact, not opinion. ViacomCBS has responded, which is quite good.

That article is a disaster, they never say who the gently caress Ansari is (Dersh's lawyer?) but make several references to Ansari's lawyer

Also gently caress that shyster chomo Dersh

He was a registered Republican before Obama was elected, he voted for Obama twice, and I'm not sure who he voted for between Clinton and Trump, but given his rather public disdain for Trump, I don't think he voted for him. Currently supposedly he's an independent voter. Basically he was a pre-Obama Republican but when the Black guy got elected president and the entire GOP's brains broke collectively, he said "aight imma head out" and has been independent or liberal since then.

There are some choice loving submissions in there. Why the hell do so many say "In God We Trust?" That's not the state motto.

Edit: And putting the seal on the flag is weak poo poo. Looking at you, all the other lazy-rear end states that did it already.

Republicans picked that hill to die on before they would agree to changing the flag. All flag submissions must have "In God we trust" on them, and the final flag must have it prominently because they don't believe in the separation of church and state.

What's generally going on is that his lies and bullshit are always paper-thin, so when he's getting called out in real time with follow-ups, he can't process new lies to replace the old and pretzels himself.

Watching this seems really clear that he's just being fed nothing but bullshit all day by his staff or something.

The attack underscored that the Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan is still a formidable presence, and it highlighted the challenges ahead as U.S. and NATO forces begin to withdraw following Washington's peace deal with the Taliban.

The peace accord aims to recruit the Taliban to battle the militants from ISIS, which U.S. officials have told The Associated Press is the Americans' biggest foe in Afghanistan. Both the Taliban and the IS affiliate are staunch rivals.

Honestly I don't think there's a need for a debate.

If you're still supporting the guy at this point you're gonna do so no matter how dumb or bad the debates are.

Making Trump look stupid won't cost him any votes imo. Biden getting shouted over might hurt Biden, won't help. Honestly Biden should just be talking about how he's going to make everything better once he's in office and talking about how good leadership would prevent the crisis we are in etc. I can't see much upside for their campaign to even engage with or respond to Trump at this point.
