  • an interesting idea, but she would not get confirmation from the current senate composition. the 47 democrats and 4 independents would all have to agree on this and then follow through. sinema and manchin are part of that 51. republicans and some others would claim that harris cannot tiebreak a vote for her own confirmation, so that 51 is needed and would have to remain united.

    it’s way to risky of a gamble, the vacancy would have to exist before it could be filled. all it would take is one senator to change their tune. you’d just be giving the diaper his next seat before he even gets a chance to lie his way through the oath of office.



  • the other three aren’t wrong, it’s just an incomplete list.

    my ddg default gave me the fictional character’s wikipedia article as the top result (it lists all of them and what title they were in).

    a vanity fair article praising momoa’s work in the 2021 film was second, followed by the dune wiki character page and then imdb’s 2021 film page was fourth.

    i also have firefox keywords to search the wiki or imdb directly if i choose to, and that’s what i would have normally done here.

    it’s as good as gone. it’s the one thing left to stop or at least slow the pace of all the messed-up shit that’s gonna go through congress.

    they’ll add a half dozen seats to scotus, too, while they’re at it, filled with 35-40 year olds to ensure that it stays a maga court for a very, very long time.
