The poor performance and miserable result of this debate is not an indicator the format is bad, it is an indictment of our media circus that has given us these candidates in the first place.
This is proof our system is fucked and I hope to god we don’t “fix” this by going back to letting opponents talk all over each other just to put on a good an entertaining show.
Can’t get a security clearance if you’ve smoked pot within the past 7 years because it’s blackmail leverage
Their point doesn’t stand. Just report it.
It’s not so much the blackmail with pot, it’s the fact you can’t “follow the rules”. They will give a bye for previous smoking events (before you need the clearance, took a position etc.), it’s smoking with a clearance or NOT telling them that will get you wrapped up.
Point was, not everyone with coffee in their cabinet needs to start panicking.
This article doesn’t cover it (specifically) so I went digging to see if this might compete with weight loss drugs as well:
Victoza (liraglutide) is also used to treat obesity. While it was originally approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it has also been approved under the brand name Saxenda for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Saxenda and Victoza contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide, but they are marketed and dosed differently depending on the indication.
Google said:
As of April 2024, the list price for a 30-day supply of Saxenda (liraglutide) is around $1,350, but the actual cost can range from $1,590 to $1,656 without insurance or discounts.
You’re right, the President should basically do nothing in the year before an election. Everything must be accomplished in the first three years, then we take a break.
Edit: (Assuming POTUS was even involved)
I think it’s because it helps them manipulate objects, just like fingers on a hand.
Excellent interpersonal skills
Oh well.
an opponent of ranked choice voting, contributed $90,000 to the Ranked Choice Education Association, an organization incorporated as a church in Washington state
Yup, this all sounds on the up-and-up to me.
The better headline would have been:
Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by drinking from his boot
Step 3. Ensure you don’t leave any evidence as you tie the body.
The original article contains 287 words, the summary contains 288 words.
Bad bot.
I don’t understand why we teach that to children, just to turn around and tell them not to do it a few years later.
Or because we are comparing rates now to those when COVID restrictions were in place?
I liked the movie. The activity itself is as boring as baseball.
$120K/yr in gifts seems perfectly reasonable. I just haven’t pulled on my bootstraps hard enough to find such nice friends.
Maybe next year!
I already provided the reasoning. Where does it say, “because they’re communist”?
