The recent debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was a political disaster of gloriously epic proportions. Biden's performance was so bad that his own party is now in panic mode, scrambling to find a way to push him out. It’s like watching a sinking ship, and the crew is frantically trying to find the lifeboats. But before we get too excited, let's remember: this could actually be bad news for the GOP. The Democratic political machine, a well-oiled juggernaut with billions at its disposal, is primed to rally behind a new candidate without missing a beat. Biden might be...

My friend's truck sustained a lot of damage from an exploding tire. She can't afford to fix it. I thought she should look for a hatchback car instead of a truck, as it would be cheaper. What would be some decent hatchbacks which would carry plenty of cargo and give her several years, at least, of service? How should she further research cars? I was lucky, inheriting all my father's used cars until I finally bought my present car, which I bought new. So I don't have much experience in buying used cars or where to find a good one.

Users of Zyn, a brand of nicotine pouch that’s become a touchstone among right-wing commentators, extol its ability to free the mind, increase productivity, and even enhance sexual performance. “I use it every second I’m awake,” said Tucker Carlson on an episode of the Full Send comedy podcast in 2023. “Seconds before I fall asleep, I take it out.” There’s no evidence to promote Zyn as a sexual aid; nicotine actually constricts blood vessels, which can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. The addictive substance can also raise blood sugar and blood pressure and may harden the walls of arteries,...

Okay, we had no idea Denzel Washington was starring in “Gladiator 2,” but Vanity Fair has unveiled new first-look photos, and now we’re hooked. The images feature Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington. “Gladiator 2” will be released from Paramount Pictures on November 22, 2024. Check out a snapshot of the film’s characters in the film’s story that takes place well after the original Russell Crowe story: Paul Mescal is Lucius, Maximums’ son from the first film, who hasn’t been seen in 15 years and is presumed dead. This likely leads into him becoming a gladiator where,...

Terrifying video shows the moment a mob of men brutally beat a lesbian couple who were out celebrating one of their birthdays. The group of about seven to 10 'Middle Eastern' men, believed to be from Syria, could be seen kicking at one of the women, who laid in the ground surrounded by her attackers - while the other struggled to break free from another man's clutches. Both women sustained injuries in the attack - which Emma MacLean said started when one of the men made a rude comment at her as she and her girlfriend, only identified as Tori,...

It is important that we all understand how the 25th Amendment works. To this end, please read it. It is pretty easy to understand, but there are some subtleties that are not so obvious. Also, it is not bullet proof. Here's the text: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-25/ This thread is to discuss the 25th Amendment, and how it might be invoked and operate both in theory, and in the present circumstances. Please refrain from snarky remarks about President Biden's and Kamala Harris' respective mental abilities, unless it's truly funny in a way we haven't seen before. Not that they aren't warranted. It's just...

NEW YORK (AP) — The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride reached its exuberant grand finale on Sunday, bringing rainbow-laden revelers to the streets for marquee parades in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere across the globe. The wide-ranging festivities functioned as both jubilant parties and political protests, as participants recognize the community’s gains while also calling attention to recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, such as bans on transgender health care, passed by Republican-led states. Thousands of people gathered along New York’s Fifth Avenue to celebrate Pride. Floats cruised the street as Diane Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” played from loudspeakers. Pride flags...
