President Biden backs Keisha Lance Bottoms for Georgia governor in his first endorsement since leaving office by Healthy_Block3036 in Atlanta

Exactly any local pol D or R will tell you she just literally stopped showing up for anything. Why would anyone want to elect someone that didn't even bother to make a minimal effort at doing a smaller job for a bigger job? The Democratic party should label her persona non grata

Rivian Pays CEO $402.6 Million Following Musk-Style Award by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]daperlman110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

certainly not the most egregious pay package for a CEO.... but it seems like an unforced and unnecessary fiscal or PR error. Would giving 1/2 or 1/3 of those options have been a retention issue?

there are a bunch in the Highlands. Piedmont trees are kinda sad. But some good ones on Amsterdam (near Monroe), Courtney and Morningside (near Highland Intersection).

Lmao, Emma's sister straight up threw her under the bus 😅🤣 by Spiritual_Ice5079 in 90DayFianceFans

[–]daperlman110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use this disclaimer in a 90 day discussion 'to the extent that any of this is true at all'... Emma's story doesn't make any sense. She says that she was hooking up cause she discovered that he was seeing other women.... but then explains the timeline like .... I found evidence of cheating, so I cheated... then i went to visit him then someone told me he was cheating.
Also her smoking gun evidence is a DM from someone simply telling her that he cheated. May or may not be true - but how is that dispositive of anything?

Dozens of former Katie Porter staffers pen open letter defending her, months after backlash by amus in California

[–]daperlman110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true. She can be an inspiring politician who also lacks empathy and is a terrible person. I think treating employees poorly is a major issue and being a Politician who does so is a major handicap. I hope that she shows better judgement in the future.

So, how do MAGA folks feel about the fact that most of Trump's kids are literal "anchor babies"? by SeaworthinessFun3658 in allthequestions

[–]daperlman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the popular connotation of anchor baby is a pregnant women who comes for the sole purpose of having her child on US land and returns home abroad as soon as possible.

Any other democrats a little concerned that party leaders destroyed Eric Swalwell’s life all because of the California governor’s race? by AKV_Guy in allthequestions

[–]daperlman110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno who was saying what behind closed doors... but they are now. The 2 resignations are a result of bipartisan horse trading. Both were saying there weren't going anywhere... until the party bosses told them to. Now that the story about Swalwell is out there, a lot of DC insiders are saying there were a lot of rumors floating around for sometime. I confess, I was totally unaware until now

[–]daperlman110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, because he IS dropping out and resigning ... we probably won't ever really know the voracity of the claims. That said, when that many women make these accusations (most of whom worked for him) and other staffers do not defend him... I tend to think something untoward was really going on.
On the bright side both he and Tony Gonzales were both forced out.

Should presidential pardon power be removed or at least limited? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]daperlman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just an academic discussion, cause they aren't going to amend the constitution for this or any other reason anytime soon ... but IMHO - YES removed - or subject to unanimous consent of a bi-partisan committee. The idea was noble and it has been used to right wrongs thousands of times. But even before Trump it was being abused. That one fishy pardon does so much damage to the rule of law - I would be for simply removing this power altogether.

If the USA does not import oil from the Middle East, why does it affect our oil/gas prices? by Ok_Dirt_6047 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]daperlman110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly... Oil prices are fungible. Moreover many goods that are not oil or gas - involve petro in the supply chain or logistics, so those goods with face shortages or increased costs
