Is our justice system really so bogged down that, 3.5 years later, we're still just getting around to arresting some of these dipshits?

I had the same reaction a couple days ago when I saw they were still there. Definitely not a good look for Boeing.

That's the point.

If you ever accidentally left food in the microwave

I've lost count of how many times. Now we have a microwave with a reminder beep that keeps going off every minute or so until you open the door. Best feature ever.

They don't actually fly. They're just so ugly that the Earth repels them.

Ooof. I'm so sorry. I'm so sick of what the political discourse in this country has become, and what it's doing to people.

Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely happy for the change, but I think the excitement you're seeing is more indicative of how much anxiety everyone was feeling about the future of this country if Biden stubbornly stayed in, and the sudden wave of relief they're feeling now. If Biden hadn't decided to run again at let the primary process do it's job to select a candidate, we might now have someone even better positioned to defeat Trump.

That could be. It was 8 years ago and I was very upset. Still haven't recovered.

Pssh. The sign isn't even in focus. 🙄

I'd like to remind everyone that 8 years ago, the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly. There was tons of discussion after the election about how the polls could be so wrong.

I think Fivethityeight's explanation went something like...

If a candidate is only polling 40% to their opponents's 60%, and you were to run the election 10 times with a different sampling of voters each time, it doesn't mean that the candidate will lose by 60% every time. It means they're going to win four times out of ten.

Don't let polls lull you into either complacency or despair. The only thing polls are really good for is giving pundits something to talk about in the 24 hour news cycle. Polls don't decide the election. Only actual votes on actual ballots that are actually submitted in time decide the election.
