I'm so incredibly loving surprised it took them so long to finally coalesce around the most obvious (bullshit) defense imaginable. JFC, everyone around Trump and his toadies are so incredibly incompetent.

It didn't take them that long. Immediately after this started Mattering, the chuds I worked with picked up the line "he's the President so he gets to conduct foreign policy and investigations any way he wants."
Yeah. I've been getting that from random right-wingers from the start as well, but it took forever for this to become the official party line, because they're seriously too stupid to find the most basic and obvious defensive line to fall back on.

Here in socialist Denmark, young people can actually afford homes, provided they don't mind living far from everything, including jobs. If you don't mind 2 hours of commute each way, it's doable. We still can't afford anything near the city though, that's cut off like in the US. Having available land is not the same as having useful land for homes.

The problems are creeping liberalism and politicians being afraid to tax home owners.

Over here in lockdown Denmark, the police of the rich person ghetto announced a record low on break-ins, by quite a big margin. Turns out, isolating everyone at home means it's way harder to break in without getting caught. I have no clue how this cartoon is supposed to make any sense.
Some (probably not all?) states decided that being a non-violent offender in a victimless crime doesn't mean you deserve a death sentence, and released some prisoners before their jails started suffering from epidemic outbreaks.

Obviously, this means we're all going to get murdered in our own homes.

SneezeOfTheDecade posted:

Here's a fun fact: that Ben Franklin quote that conservatives and libertarians love, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.", is from a letter to the Pennsylvania government. The Penn family was trying to bribe the General Assembly with a large cash payment so that they wouldn't have to pay taxes to the state - taxes that would have been used to finance border defenses. The liberty he's referring to is the liberty of the government to govern its citizens; the safety is getting the Penn family to shut up and go away for a little while. Franklin's point was that a government that yields to the unreasonable demands of a minority of its citizenry just because they're loud enough, and in doing so places the public in danger, no longer deserves to be in power.
Google brings up several articles supporting this claim but it's very hard to see that in the original text, which (intuitively) seems to provide the same interpretation that modern day "conservatives and libertarians" use.

Nope, for better or for worse he's always been like that.

Part of that is his being a stutterer (and thus sometimes using the opposite direction word and not correcting himself, because correcting yourself exacerbates a stutter), part of it is his being old and thus having grown up a long time ago (and using ancient slang like "get off the dime"), and part of it is... he's just like that.

A quick search for "Joe Biden gaffe prone" from 2008 and earlier turns up a fuckload. First result:
