So is the logic that it’s best if the seat remain vacant and not risk a younger more alive republican to be elected in a special election and sworn in, where as if a democrat won the seat, they’d basically not be sworn in anyway and it’d be as if the seat were intentionally vacant?
If they delay so they don’t have a special election, wouldn’t it be up to the governor to appoint a new Senator? That seems worse for Republicans, since Andy Beshear is a Democratic governor.
You can’t hold both positions at the same time, but I think being on the ballot for multiple positions varies from state to state, not sure how it is in NY?
in 2008, Biden was running for VP and for his Senate seat, winning both. He was sworn in as Senator and then resigned like a week later before being sworn in as VP.
Have you never heard of TRANSformers??
Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don’t think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing it.
This may be the best gif ever made
Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.
Funny Games shouldn’t really count because it’s the same director with an actual budget to do what he wanted to do in the first place.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
It seems more likely to me that the administration and various 3 letter agencies couldn’t connect the dots with the information they had, rather than a vast conspiracy of them enabling or orchestrating the terrorist event that makes them look stupid, and then getting everyone involved to stay silent for 25+ years.
What mental gymnastics are going on that they claim “unlawful intent” if the intent to was to stop the man from assaulting her. How is intending to stop someone from continuing a hate crime unlawful?
Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.

I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance
IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.
Also picked because he will never sign off on invoking the 25th amendment and will not faithfully oversee the counting of electors in 2029
I expected better from the recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize.
It’s like he’s actively trying to speed run the collapse of the economy. In his first term, he was able to ride the trajectory Obama set, despite his best efforts, until Covid happened. This time, he’s seeing if he can start a recession before the midterms.
Ohh I see, so the governor would be able to appoint an interim senator if the seat is vacant before Aug 3rd or whatever day, but unlikely that they’d ever get sworn in or do anything more productive than an empty seat?
