Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Tim is such a sharpshooter. Finally we get to see the Dems taking clever potshots while actually making good points.
How is anyone supposed to make any dessert there when the frozen yogurt machine is broken?
I will admit Trump is incompetent, however I don't think even the most experienced McDonald's employee can figure out the mystery to the ice cream machine.
It's hardly a mystery. The company that makes them has a monopoly on the repair services. When the machine breaks the company makes money fixing it. The real mystery is why right to repair is not a federal law (and the answer to that is basically the same: corporate greed. Yay superpac donations!)

And apparently the most common point of failure: It's been over filled and the sensor detects it and prevents operation with a mystery code.
He's the kind of person who would get someone to make him ice cream, and then he'd break it in purpose so nobody else can enjoy it, and then crap in the machine so it needs to be replaced
Publicly, he'd probably call ice cream woke to appear macho
Going from Biden to a campaign with actual energy behind it is incredibly refreshing.
I know there's a lot of work to be done but Harris picking Walz gave me a lot of confidence in both her advisors and her own decision-making. If this was Clinton, she would've picked Shapiro or even like... Joe Manchin or something.
Merrick Garland, somehow
Every single major media operation was holding their breath and stomping their feet to demand Shapiro, I was shocked when she picked Walz.
Really? Since when do Democrats want that whiny brat who can't even get a woman wet? The Republicans can keep him.

Different Shapiro. (Well, maybe him also, but not Ben Shapiro, the one infamous for this.) They're talking about Josh Shipiro (no relation), the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania.
Now here me out: Schiff
haha point taken but I confess I have a soft-spot for Schiff which may be an unpopular opinion. I think he's one of the best rhetoricians in the party up there with Buttigieg. I gained a lot of respect for his leading one of the impeachment hearings and his remarks on the January 6th hearings. Also how he was one of the few Senators to publicly call for Biden to step down.
Edit: Sorry, self-correction: Schiff is currently a US House Rep (but pretty high in seniority) but running for a CA US Senate seat.
During the impeachment, I wished he was my rep instead of one of the ones proving that you can indeed barge into a scif and hold a pizza party then not go to jail immediately, you just have to be important enough.
I can't imagine a McFlurry machine actually working.
