The funny thing is reading the source article, when Trump had the same procedure, he didn’t make Pence the acting president because he didn’t trust Pence with presidential powers for even an hour.

This is my first time seeing any of this, but the party arc starts here: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5404

This is a great time for European labs to advertise any open positions.

Mother Nature is a prankster. She was just having a little fun.

I wasn’t defending Imperial Germany. I was saying anti-semitism was a problem in France too.

fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.

It was Halloween, so maybe “insufferable asshole” was their costume.

This was pre-WWI. Not sure how anti-semitism compared in Germany and France during this era, but there was plenty of anti-semitism in France as demonstrated by the riots during the Dreyfus Affair.

Remember those people who caught covid and were put on ventilators while denying that they had covid? When bad things happen to Trump supporters they’ll just deny it or blame it on someone else.

This was a “Fuck YOU, in particular” sent right at Harris.

hmm… I think a “fuck you” would be if people went to the polls and wrote in someone else. This was more of a “meh” sent right at Harris… they couldn’t even be bothered to vote.

I firmly believe it was a combination of her race and male voters’ unwillingness to vote for a woman under any circumstances.

I suspect that this played a large part, but the tricky thing is: how do we confirm this? We can’t just poll people, bc they’ll rarely admit it. We can’t compare the performance of congressional candidates because people likely hold the presidency to a different standard. To make things even more complicated, Harris is mixed-race - and Americans are notoriously bad at studying that. And what do we do with the results of these studies? Clearly we still want to nominate qualified people regardless of gender or race.

Political scientists and historians will spend years analyzing the causes and significance of this election. My focus is more immediate. Although the data are imperfect and incomplete, I will offer preliminary answers…

To his credit, the writer explicitly warns us that this is a hot take and is almost certainly wrong.

Hey I’m really sorry to hear about your dog. It must be tough knowing that it’s coming.
