In many states the party you’re registered with is public. Who you voted for is kept private. The fact that you voted can’t be kept private in any real way if you’re voting in person.

few of us expect Democrats to lose the popular vote
Anything is possible. Long before the debate, national polling for Biden has been significantly worse than he performed in 2020 and Clinton in 2016.
I don’t know how I forgot the delta shift stuff from lower decks. That was a while plot point.
Now I’m wondering how many days a week they work and how many hours a normal shift is.
Since they’re not depending on the sunlight to mark their days, the “graveyard shift” might not even be a real distinction for them.
I use them. It helps me identify “weeds” so I can know if they’re good for pollinators or have to be removed immediately for invasiveness.
Example: I often keep a couple milkweed plants growing for monarch butterflies.
It may not matter at all. Imagine it’s deemed unofficial and he wins the election, he will almost definitely pardon himself. Pardon powers were never given reasonable limits.
People have undervalued that the real check on a president’s powers is in the hands of the voters. The next strongest checks seem to be the lifespan of the executive and the two term limit.
And yet I’ve had to throw out a whole bottle of St. Ives lotion. Which country is threatened by me having silky smooth skin?
What does this have to do with Muslims? The article doesn’t even mention Islam. Did you respond to the wrong article?
there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic
There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.
If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.
That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.
It’s a spoiler for the movie, so I’m tagging it.
Predestination. The story is a bit more complicated, but it’s a very similar idea.

I’ve seen a movie where this is basically the plot.
Hiltz got the US Olympic trials record, not the American record. No one has run faster in the women’s 1500 meter at any US Olympic trials.
You’re right about the rest. A few non Americans have run faster and only one American has run faster, Shelby Houlihan. Houlihan is currently banned from the sport for a steroid she alleged was consumed while eating contaminated burritos. She won’t be allowed to compete again until January 2025.
I’m not gonna disagree, but I will say people have basically judged the court for decades based on their decisions. I’ve been judging it on their decisions and their dissents. There have been non-unanimous cases for years where there have been bizarre dissents that could have changed the country if any specific president had appointed more judges.
Primaries are also weird because depending on what state you live in the election is often decided before you even get to vote. Imagine living in a state as big as California and having no impact on the primary.
If the general election can be one day maybe so can the primary.
Moats. I was kidding at first, but I’m now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.
Hot take: that crime bill attack was always an interesting one to me.
In Hillary’s election she got heavily criticized for supporting it while non-conservatives supported it, Biden wrote it, Bill Clinton signed it, Bernie Sanders voted for it. I was somewhat surprised this election when people actually remembered that Biden wrote it at all. I didn’t hear much about it in 2020.
That’s not an interpretation the supreme court would agree with.
That sounds like an adult with a social and/or psychological issue.
This is a weird headline generally, but it’s even weirder given that a UK outlet wrote it.
