The shaking might be an essential tremor (I have one and it’s hereditary in my family). It’s usually a benign condition but you should talk to your doctor in case it’s something more serious as it can be related to brain tumors or other shit you really need to jump on.
There’s no relation to masturbation but, hey, if you want a sex toy then buy one.
Just to clarify though, this is the same Russian institution that conscripted soldiers from their prisons - so it’s not like the army can act shocked at finding “a few bad apples”.
Analogies aren’t always strawmen, I wrote that up to make the situation more relatable since it’s easy to criticize bureaucracy as being obvious until you’re knee deep in it.
I’m aware, but it’s for bureaucratic reasons and has nothing to do with everyone who is celebrating by posting the pictures of her dining with Putin. I think this particular route to disqualification is rather silly and likely to be a abused by bad actors in the future… so the democrats suing to keep her off the ballot is bad for PR, functionally accomplishes nothing in view of the wider election, and may come back to bite them. It’s really disappointing they picked up this fight.
No? If Stein will be disqualified I want it to go through the courts rather than being at the whims of bureaucracy.
I’d like an actual burden of proof for someone to be ineligible to run for president.
Let’s say you wanted to replace your bathtub and went to the city to get a permit to work on shared building plumbing - you get the form for “Water basin modifications” and pass it off to be signed by your contractor and the building’s HOA council and then add all the relevant details about sizing and materials involved.
You return the form and are told to await a response by mail… six weeks later it hasn’t arrived. It turns out that “Water basin modification” form you were issued was actually for replacing an underlayer but limited to showers - you actually needed the “Water (standing) basin modification” form that was valid for bathtubs. Now everything you did with the form (getting it signed by various parties, filling in sizing and material information) was correct - so wouldn’t it be really nice if the clerk handling your form had said “Whoops lets just staple the form you filled out to the correct one and notarize the correction, then we can file it and send you a reply” instead of just rejecting it without a clear reason?
People working in these systems can be reasonable and flexible.
I don’t think running for elected office should require a team of high paid lawyers - president in our current system is unrealistic for any person off the street but part of the reason we have AOC today is because the election registration process is accessible to people who have limited resources but a lot of enthusiasm.
Forms like this shouldn’t require the fine toothed comb.
Yea, I’m familiar with the photo - that’s why I mentioned a case to formally bar her above. That photo could lead to an absolutely valid prohibition on participating in elections - so let’s go that route instead of bureaucratic bullshit.
Given the news currently brewing in Georgia we can expect some similar bureaucratic bullshit to be used against the Harris campaign - it’ll be bullshit just like this is bullshit.
Nah, keeping Stein on the ballot (for this reason) would be a win for our democracy. If there’s a credible case to formally accuse her of being a Russian asset and bar her from participation on those grounds I’m happy to see it go through. This is just arbitrary and authoritarian. I’m not okay with embracing authoritarianism to overcome fascism - there are better tools to beat Trump.
They were given the wrong forms when they requested the correct ones - the two forms are nearly indistinguishable and neither the issuer nor collector noticed the mistake at the time.
This was a really minor bureaucratic screw up and denying the green party a place on the ballot because of the mistake is just a bad look.
It is - the wrong forms were disbursed and then rejected while all the actual requirements were fulfilled.
This is clearly anti-democratic and unlikely to have any actual effect on the election outside making Democrats look bad.
It’s good twerking practice, too!
Neck to crotch on the front then a good rough polish cycle to try and dry off my back - all with a nice thin towel that knocks the moisture off rather than absorbing it. Once my body is done I have a separate fluffy towel for my long hair, face, and beard.
Along with dozens of bystanders.

Okay, congratulations to fucking CNN for running this - I saw the title and expected it was a Jacobin or VOA article because the mainstream outlets are usually so fucking tame. I’m glad to see CNN can occasionally deliver actual journalism.
These fucks are bitching about this while their candidates openly encourage domestic terrorism against Haitians.
Fuck 'em.
…
As opposed to Rishi Sunak who received hundreds of millions of pounds of gifts in the form of self interested tax breaks?
Who the fuck cares about the pittance that Starmer is getting.
This is a form of class warfare: it isn’t the rich women - they can go out of state or country to get proper medical care if they need it… it’s poor women that are bearing this awful cost.
