1-Biden was wrong here but he didn't know it because the banks he coddled for decades were about to unleash holy hell on us.
2-I'll say it. I saw Biden yesterday. He walked into the room like he had stumbled out of his hospital bed in a nightgown. He's declining and it's sad. https://t.co/iLAV7Dpbpj

Yeah, if Biden is elected there is very a good chance his VP will be finishing out his term. He does not act or look healthy.
people call Russiagate "liberal Qanon" but that's not true. Qanon at least got its people to distrust the lying ass media, whereas Russiagate got the libs to believe that the Iraq War planners sincerely just "made a mistake" and are "on our side now, really"

Ok, fair. Can find nothing wrong here.
formula one cars look like you could just pick the back up with one hand to bully the driver

No one could do it one-handed, but the very strongest deadlifters can almost certainly pick up one side of an F1 car. Those cars by regulation all weigh 1548 pounds with the driver, and about 1400-ish without. As long as two wheels stay on the ground and as the angle increases, you are lifting progressively less as you go.
Thus, since the best deadlifters can lift 1,000ish pounds, with proper grip they could heft one side of an F1 car off the ground because at most (assuming no driver and little fuel), they’d have to handle around 700 pounds. This is well within the capabilities of the most burly of the best deadlifters.
Just because something *didn't happen* doesn't mean the procedures taken weren't necessary.

Yes, this seems to be a weird and mostly-unrecognized human cognitive flaw that even very smart people are prone to. Or should I say, “smart.” It can be seen most notably with Y2K but it occurs often.
If procedures occur to forestall the occurrence of a problem, the vast majority then conclude that those measures were unnecessary! How your brain can be this broken I don’t understand, yet here we are.
FB friend of mine from the Philippines just shared an ad for a visa application service based in Cebu City and the publicity pics are pretty much exactly what you'd expect pic.twitter.com/p7q38V8BxQ

Oh lord. I’m for people marrying whoever they want to above the age of majority, but that just does not look right or good.
