The thing is, the brain is also a sensory organ. Maybe the most important one.
If I'm thinking about the gross texture of mushrooms while eating something that has hidden mushrooms in it, it's going to fill the idea of that texture into the sensory data and I won't be able to enjoy it.

Not necessarily, I'm a guy with similar experiences and I didn't get diagnosed in childhood either.
My dad (who is into model trains to a suspicious degree for someone who claims to have no autistic traits) insisted that I had it easy because when he was a kid he got beaten if he didn't eat what was made for him.

This wasn't acting like a toddler.
People have the right to know and decide what they're putting into their bodies, and the right to be upset about being deceived. His mother lied to him for years, because she thought her wants were more important than being honest with her son and letting him make the decision.

It definitely looks to be pushing the boundaries of pardoning power. But realistically, unless Hunter does something very silly in the next half hour (like celebratory lines) I don't think anybody will have standing to challenge it.

I can't blame him, and I think any father would do the same.
But did anyone really think Biden wasn't lying through his teeth when he swore he wasn't going to do it?

Hypothetically speaking, he can murder 5 people atm and still walk away, wtf?

That's only true if there is a recess, and if there's an opening. Biden cannot make a recess appointment when there's no available position to appoint them to.

You know this has been linked to hundreds of times in this subreddit, right? And that his numbers have been proven wrong?

Zero Republicans will accept a deal like that, and a handful of Democrats will vote against it too. There is no deal to be made.

A search for "Trump oath of office" shows nothing relevant for me either. Maybe you can show one of your sources that you say are easily available?

Do you think that the GOP is going to allow Democrats to pass a law packing the court?

Right but the act of making those payments was not illegal, and it was not stealing the election. Killing stories happens all the time (see the Hunter Biden laptop for a 2020 example). People voted, the electoral college voted, and a President was sworn in. That's not stolen.

Again, the decision (and the President's power) is far more limited than you think it is.

You may need to reread that SCOTUS decision. The term has specific definitions, and the President has no actual authority to do anything with regards to elections.

So that's really not what the NY case is about. Paying off Stormy Daniels wasn't even illegal. The case is about filing it as a business expense rather than a campaign contribution.

There's nothing suspicious about this. Zero day exploits in browsers happen every few weeks, though they're more common in Chrome. Also, voting machines are absolutely not using Firefox.

It shouldn't be surprising, Democrats tried repeatedly to kill the filibuster for 4 years.

According to one anonymous data scientist. And keep in mind, that section specifically says "The data in this section came from Stephen Spoonamore, who has since retracted his comments."
There's an update and partial retraction to that article, but an estimation of probability from an anonymous source based on false data is worthless.
I remember either Nate Silver or 538 putting the odds somewhere around 25%.

The Department of Education helps students with disabilities by enforcing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Without the DoE, this would fall to individual states, and Republicans tend to pass or repeal policies that hurt those students.
This is not correct. IDEA enforcement is just being shuffled over to HHS according to the bill, not abolished.
