I'm just going to assume he was confirmed on party lines.

Yeah, that was my point.

Arizona House allocates $1 million to sue for the right to drain the Colorado River dry so that people can live in the fucking desert.

I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn't lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn't what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you're not going to get what you want.

It sounds like what you want could be achieved with no extra hardware (other than a couple cheap USB-C to USB-A adaptors) if the following things are true:

You have 2 monitors with multiple USB-C ports.
Your laptops have multiple USB-C ports.

Plug one keyboard and mouse into one monitor, plug the other into the other monitor. If you're both at the desk, you each plug in one monitor. If only one of you is at the desk plug in both monitors.

If your monitors/computers don't fit those requirements you're gonna end up buying more stuff.

He also had a "750-milliliter bottle of 100-proof vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut off the sleeves" in his car.

Fucking pathetic "arsenal" if you're going to firebomb anything, really.

Trump's officials also removed from the Pentagon a portrait depicting Gen Milley's as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hmmm…

The stuff is basically poison, so in spite of the assuredly awful motivations I'm not against it.

Having said that, Republicans seem to always have ulterior motives, so I'd be reading the fine print before voting.

Maybe some of those people who he's not popular with should have fucking voted.

Fuck the "echo chamber" discourse. I reject it entirely.I am not here to wear an ascetic's hair shirt because you think that surrounding myself with dickheads builds character.

They said that the President is immune from prosecution for "official acts." That means he can't go to jail for crimes he commits so long as they are official acts. Official acts is undefined, so it means whatever the Supreme Court wants it to.

This is a civil lawsuit.
