The tweet literally says 'SOTU'

Yes, because while the speech in the first year is not technically a SOTU, it is often refered to that way.

Also, the dishonesty of USA Today "fact check" in finding a rando on Facebook that goes too far in making the claim, and then making it seem like there is nothing to see here is...

OK, so I'm trying to make a kiddush hashem story, but no luck so far, can you help?

Found a should bag lying in the street - has ID, credit cards, cash. No phone #. Tried calling the banks and asking them to tell the cardholder I have his bag, pass along my number. They refuse. The best part is that one of them was Wells Fargo. I asked them, "wait, so you can open up accounts in their names, but you can't let them know I found his lost bag??"

I tried googling the guys name, no luck (yet).

Any suggestions?

No address on the id?

Why would he be addressing a joint session of congress now?

Every president since Reagan did in their first year (iinm all before the end of February). Also, he said he would.

He didn't ask about the State of the Union, he asked about an address to a joint session of Congress.

I don't know how it works in NY. Regardless, she'd have to move into full campaign mode, so I don't know how much serving will get done.

Right. The question is if the primary between her and whoever the AOC wing puts up will be brutal enough that a Republican has some tiny chance of winning.

You think she leans left enough to win?

If he is removed, she serves out the rest of the term, right?

You can file for free on Credit Karma.

Doesn't work because I have to pay SE taxes on my parsonage, and they don't support the necessary forms.

Correct. Harris will be running in 2024.

Or Dr. Jill. She'll have 4 years of experience as acting President by then...

I'm disappointed in you, DDF

Did you check the grammar thread? To me the worst post is that they said "goyim" not goy or goyishe.

(they should have just nuked the filibuster & passed it with 51, like the Democrats did for judge nominations

FTFY. (Though they never had the need to do it for SCOTUS nominations)

It is fascinating to see how often you get basic facts wrong, and always in a way that supports your views. Is it your incorrect knowledge that leads you to your views, or your views that leads you to assume that the facts must be a certain way?

Why does a software company have a billion of extra cash, and why dont they invest it in their business.

If I understood the article correctly, they borrowed the billion dollars...

Support for Biden's plan is dropping fast

Wow wow wow.

New poll by @NavigatorSurvey shows that *73%* of Americans support @POTUS's American Rescue Plan, including 53% of Republicans. #AmericanRescuePlanNow https://t.co/LKsulsrcV2

#NEW: 66% of Americans in a new The Economist/YouGov poll said they support Biden's economic/covid-19 relief plan. 25% said they oppose it.

According to data from @cwarshaw, this makes Biden's bill the most popular key legislative/executive action since the min wage hike of 2007 pic.twitter.com/QvcT5OcKIm

I have to imagine you'd get away with not reporting it. If you were ever asked about it you could claim it was like getting a gift card for doing a survey. Now I'll hide from the backlash that will come from people who know what they're talking about

And if I bought $5 worth of Bitcoin and then sold it (or used it) after it went up?
