Adorable. Reminds me of our cat, Ozzy. This was him a a little over a year ago, still a bit kittenish. He fell asleep in my lap while I was trimming his claws:

I think you ascribe more intent to his statements than actually exists. "Lying" implies that he has an actual intent to mislead. The reality is that he doesn't care one way or the other. He will do or say whatever he thinks will get him the most support at any given time, regardless of what he has said or done in the past.

Yet again, the people who keep getting caught trying to commit election fraud are the very people who claim to be most concerned that election fraud is going on.

Nah, those guys are cool as cucumbers. It was a super-dangerous maneuver by the SU-35 pilot, but I assure you the F-16 pilot knew exactly what was going on the whole time.

Immigration

Which makes zero sense. What authority does anyone think she has in making any decisions about immigration policy? He's the one that convinced his allies in congress to tank the border security bill that had bipartisan support, in order to intentionally create a "crisis".

There is no legally defined basis for "who gets credit." An artist is not a tool that you used to produce art. The artist produced the artwork. They own the artwork and copyrights (that is, the right to make and distribute copies) unless there is some legal arrangement that says otherwise. The fact that you paid them and told them what to do, by itself, means nothing in a legal context. That's why, if you're paying an artist to do creative work, or if you're an artist being paid to do creative work, you should always have a contract that defines, among other things, what everyone's rights are with regard to the final product.

She clearly lied and wasted everyone’s time.

That is false reporting. The problem is then you have to prove that she knowingly lied, and the police/DA are rarely interested in taking the time to do that. It doesn't "get criminals off the street."

With that many cats, you'd really just have a black cat hole.

Normally, if you're commissioning a piece of art for commercial purposes, you would have some sort of contract with the artist that gives you the copyrights. Otherwise, the copyright belongs to the artist that produced the work, even if you buy the product.

I love my state. We have been 100% mail-in ballots since 2011. There are multiple drop boxes in every district. Same day voter registration. You can even register online.

The old weirdo doesn't have time for a second debate because he's too busy playing golf and hawking overpriced collectables.

I'd like to say that companies will just make this the standard for everyone, like they did with California emissions standards for cars, but the reality is that it will be very difficult to take action against a company that doesn't have their headquarters in California. This isn't like GDPR where a large federal government will fine you into oblivion if you fail to comply while doing business in their jurisdiction. A lot of companies will probably just ignore this.
