She's older now, but for context, here's what she looked like at the time she was dating Epstein. Trump assaulted her in Trump Tower in the '90s in plain view of everyone.

Besides the fact that this guy is a fascist, I'm tired of judicial nominees refusing to answer any questions whatsoever by saying how inappropriate it would be to answer. It's gotten to the point where every nominee responds to every question like this:

Multiple Democratic senators pressed Bove in their questionnaire to clarify if Bove believes the Constitution permits Mr. Trump to run for a third term, despite the restrictions of the 22nd Amendment, which states that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

"As a nominee to the Third Circuit, it would not be appropriate for me to address how this Amendment would apply in an abstract hypothetical scenario," Bove responded on multiple occasions. "To the extent this question seeks to elicit an answer that could be taken as opining on the broader political or policy debate regarding term limits, or on statements by any political figure, my response, consistent with the positions of prior judicial nominees, is that it would be improper to offer any such comment as a judicial nominee."

Of course, apparently it doesn't actually matter if they lie directly, since multiple Supreme Court nominees have without consequence.

He's already made statements well before this that he basically hates his job. This allows him to go out self-righteously

Jump Bug (late 1981) is the earliest. It has an entirely underwater level, and the car moves more slowly in it. It was also one of the earliest platformers, beaten only by Donkey Kong (mid 1981) and a couple others.

Super Mario Bros. (1985) introduced a significantly different mechanic for its water levels from the rest of the game, specifically swimming, and it was about a bajillion times more popular than Jump Bug. But it wasn't the first.

I've worked in startups most of my career and co-founded two companies. This is dumb. Most startups fail and it ain't because people aren't working hard enough.

Yeah, of course he's guilty. I'm saying the accusation should be enough and they shouldn't have to wait for him to be convicted. But either way they should establish a policy around it.

The Nobel committee should maybe not accept nominations from an accused ICC war criminal

To echo another commenter, this article is a harrowing read—particularly the litany of reasons for declaring independence:

The Declaration pronounces these rights to be so important that it’s worth overthrowing a government over them. But one should not undertake revolution against a tyrannical government lightly, the Declaration says, going on to provide a massive litany of complaints as justification. In modern times, the full list was considered to be the boring part of this document, lacking the vim and vigor of “we hold these truths to be self-evident” and other such bars from the preamble. But this year, it’s become a… bracing read.

Listed among the reasons to boot the British monarch are:

• “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences”
• “Obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither”
• “erect[ing] a multitude of New Offices, and sen[ding] hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people”
• keeping “among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures”
• attempting “to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”
• “cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world”
• “depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury”
• “excit[ing] domestic insurrections amongst us”

This was visceral:

As Donald Trump’s imperial presidency rolls forward across the wreckage of Congress on tank treads greased by the Supreme Court...

And it ends with this:

The Declaration of Independence has some notes about “the Right of the People to alter or to abolish” its existing government “and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

But that was another time, right? Surely nobody wants to take the Founding Fathers’ original words literally. Their original meaning and original intent can’t just be superimposed on American life today, not when American values are very different from the values of 1776. In Trump’s America, the national ethos is simply a boot on your neck, forever.

How did we let ourselves be ruled by morons?

Kyle Hansen, a 41-year-old IT professional in Wisconsin, said the measure would bring “absolutely beautiful, critical, important, and responsible fiscal changes that our overly bloated bureaucracy of a government is way overdue for, and in desperate need of”.

“The disgusting career politicians have been extremely fiscally irresponsible for many decades, and all the US citizens will pay the price for it. This needed to be addressed a long time ago, and finally there is a politician willing to be ridiculed for doing what is needed. It may not be what everyone thinks will be nice, fuzzy, and warm feeling, but it is the responsible thing to do,” he continued.

According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the bill would increase the deficit by $3.3tn through 2034.

In New York, 60-year-old grandmother Dee said: “I believe this will greatly help heavily taxed middle class and lower class and lift us out of the debt we have been inundated with by the Biden administration!”

“This bill is a no-brainer! Americans first!” she added.

If you time traveled to the early 2000s and told me that the host of Fear Factor was one of the most important voices in American politics and the host of The Apprentice was a fascist president in his second term, I think I would've just walked into the sea.

However, he admits his opinion has slightly changed recently.

"Somewhat it has just because I'm going through it," said Sahakyan. "I was very selfish before, but what I see now is there's a reason for [this immigration enforcement]."

Sounds like his support briefly wavered after his wife was kidnapped, then The Program kicked back in.

They should rebrand to be clearer:

Progressive Party Regressive Party Status Quo Party

Better yet...
