So this is a thing:

That wouldn't be a 2020 screw you. A 2020 screw you would be the Supreme Court getting hit by a meteor and dying midway through the court case leaving the case in limbo.

Looks like she got a response, just not the one she was hoping for I suspect: https://thehill.com/homenews/529491-michigan-lawmaker-who-gave-warning-to-trump-supporters-stripped-of-committee-seats?amp They're apparently looking into further disciplinary action. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

How much alcohol would one need to consume to think that something like that was a good idea to say in public as an elected official? "Yes, this will definitely not cause the exact opposite of what I want to happen".

Slovenia, Brazil, Hungary and Mexico are my bets.

At the risk of derailing, New Zealand's success had more to do with it being an island that was relatively out of the way and therefore able to just quarantine anyone coming in then any actual policy on their part. Had they not been one they would have suffered just as badly as everyone else had.

Generally speaking, people tend to take part in such events for a lot longer then just the time they give fancy speeches in front of the camera (if only so that they're there to take their turn to give said fancy speech). So he'd have almost definitely been there for a lot longer then just the...

I can't help but wonder how much self control it took for the guy responding to her not to just call her an idiot outright. Though he loses points for not also saying that the costs of actually securing and rebuilding Libya's oil infrastructure and then selling it would likely cost more then the...

Even so, shouldn't that just result in a verbal fight over who has authority that gets kicked up the chain of command for both parties involved rather then an out and out gunfight? This supposedly happened in the middle of Frankfurt not a warzone.

I should hope gunfire and deaths weren't a thing that actually happened. That's the sort of shit that would require something to have gone spectacularly wrong both in the area and in at a minimum one of the organizations involved. Hardly something you'd want under any circumstances much less the...

Speaking of hiding trends as it feels like, we have the BidenCheated hashtag which had a substantial number of tweets pop up only to mysteriously disappear:

<deleted content> If you legitimately think that Twitter trends are actually organic rather then something Twitter itself pushes or hides when it feels like it you're either blind or an idiot.

I dunno about on purpose or not but if an OCR was employed that's probably the main cause of all that. Even at the best of times OCRs aren't exactly perfect much less if you ask them to read a lot of documents without having the time need to go fiddling with the OCR to try and make it read a...

That's not exactly as large a part of the overall population as you'd think. While the incarceration rate isn't the same as the rate of people who've had their prints taken it still comes out to around 716 per 100,000 of the population of the USA. Even with the caveat there are crimes which get...

Wouldn't those be only of anyone who was brought in and had to have their fingerprints taken though? Unless you take everyone in the county/country's fingerprints that's still a relatively shallow pool.

Tbf I suspect that it's mostly for lack of trying. I can think of only one occasion in my entire life I ever got my fingerprints taken (for a card that was phased out literally a few months afterwards) and I doubt anyone other then the local government here ever got to see them. And I suspect...

Also issues with people who don't have fingerprints for whatever reason and scanners not being entirely reliable (and that's before they're used however many thousands of times on election day).

No doubt it's another "mistake" like when they suspended ICE's account.

Even if you could guarantee civic virtue for a few generations it wouldn't last forever. As time passes you'd eventually start to see it worn away at for some reason or another. You can't rely on something like that to keep people from abusing their position or power nor from attacking others...
