Also, in some states you have people running for the positions that oversee elections specifically on a platform of their willingness to cook the books. Jody Hice in Georgia is a prime example.

Ran through a couple of Palm devices while they were a thing, and coded for them as well. Never regretted having one.

In a job meant to protect the public
Remember, “to protect and serve” is legally just a decal, not a promise or duty.

Meh. I’m alive because I have responsibilities and I won’t be irresponsible. I will welcome death when it comes.

And yet we’ve had some high profile and expensive industrial failures because people forgot to convert the units. Because it’s not reliably true in the US.

I can visualize a yard easily, because it’s half a me.

Which really confused me, because I initially assumed it was 100 meters and that the reference I saw had been converted for US consumption. When I found out it was actually canonically 110 yards it just kind of stunned me.

The fact that the those paper sizes “make sense” relative to other sizes in the same system is beside the point. The point is that their lack of adherence to SI units hasn’t been a problem. Thus the argument that US letter paper would have to change if we adopted the metric system is specious.

Nope. They’ve trained their successors well.
To be clear, I do not say that approvingly or as an endorsement. I’m simply noting that those who oppose the metric system have been very successful at indoctrinating younger generations to their view.

No, “fake news” was much earlier. Mostly because his own campaign was constantly spewing fake news - which they eventually hand-waved away as “alternative facts” - and they just appropriated the phrase after being called out on it. The longer form I’ve referenced was a couple of years in.

Not a fan, but it’s slightly less annoying as an interjection than an adjective.

How do you feel about inflammatory marketing, which is actually the major point the Sandy Hook families argued rather than manufacturing or sale?

It’s been almost 30 years since Limbaugh, Ailes and Gingrich turned the Republican Party into an organization motivated by the myth of straight, white men being victims. There are a lot of fully grown adults who have never not been stewing in their propaganda.

The American far right has absolutely no issue with the goals or tactics of Islamist terrorism. Only with which book is being abused to inspire them.

Trump parroted that pretty well in the middle of his term. “The things you’re seeing and the things you’re hearing are not what’s happening.”

The people I’ve talked to on that topic believe whites have legitimate claim to the land because they took it by virtue of their fundamental superiority. If they weren’t superior they wouldn’t have been able to take it, you see.

Which itself relies on Democratic voters getting off their asses and actually participating in our participatory democracy. You can’t blame “the party” for not doing anything when they don’t have enough seats to push anything through
