The author assumes the Court doesn’t understand the consequences of what it’s doing, but I really don’t think that’s a reasonable assumption. It’s entirely possible they know exactly what they’re doing.

Democrats are not “so called progressives”.
Some progressives are Democrats, but not all Democrats are progressives. Most Democrats are not progressives, in fact. Things make a little more sense once you accept that.
But only a little.
IMO you should report the things to the labor board and let them decide. You never know what you might be missing with your own read through of the rules.
Because there couldn’t be any legitimate reason to do the things they’re banning, like cloud seeding, crop dusting, air dropping seeds for reforesting, I dunno, literally releasing anything as you fly over even like CO2 exhaust as mentioned by the other commentor.
Literally all matter is a chemical, chemical compound, or substance. IMO this law is going to be struck down super fast just for being overly broad. Not that that would stop Republicans from passing it and spending millions of dollars in public money defending it in court.
You mean birth rates + immigration > people leaving the state? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you.
Seriously though, there does need to be an asterisk after “fleeing” that says “if they can afford it” which, let’s be honest, excludes most people who want to leave the state.
My parents were just telling me about a friend of theirs who moved back to Ohio… fucking Ohio… after discovering that retirement in Florida was terrible.
Yeah it must be pretty bad if Ohio and Kansas are looking better.
Never mind that the whole point of a provisional ballot is “I don’t know if this vote is valid, but here it is just in case it is valid”
I feel like casting a provisional ballot should protect you in cases like hers, not condemn you!
I’m starting to wonder if they’re putting her in the limelight as setup for her being Trump’s VP pick.
man who is able to think things out for himself
Otherwise known as a man who ignores people who have actually worked things out for realsies instead of just playing at mind exercises. A man who has “thought it out for for himself” that the earth is flat, modern medicine is poison, and immigrants are lazy criminals here to steal his job.
These people stopped looking in the mirror a long time ago.
Congress would impeach Biden SO FAST so he could then be prosecuted.
… Unless Biden also made it impossible for Congress to meet to impeach him. Which is obviously against the Constitution, but there’s nothing to be done about it as long as Congress can’t impeach him.
Checkmate, fascists.
… wait
Yup, it’s taxpayer money.
The logic is that shit like this will cause voters to demand change and vote in people who will make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen again. But the reality is that most voters simply don’t care, and there’s a non-zero number of voters who are unhappy because they want the black man to stay in prison whether he’s innocent or not.
Can’t be prosecuted unless Congress acts first? Detain Congress before they can act. Easy peasy, dictator for life.
I don’t follow that particular but if politics very closely, so I’m genuinely asking: is that still the case post-Brexit?
because it will just give his GOP opponent ammo to claim “see he’s radical too”.
But they already do that, so why care?
Remember, it isn’t that Trump supporters don’t know what he’s done, it’s that they don’t care.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars he’s paying his right-wing buddies to post on Twitter are going to have a great ROI any day now, he’s sure of it!
The thing is that the study with the mice was seriously flawed. There’s been more research since then, which is why we’re getting this announcement now (even though the announcement itself is little more than “oh hey there might be something to this? We definitely need more research before we can know for sure.”)
Well that’s one of the more fucked up and asinine things I’ve heard in a while.
You know countries can refuse aide, right? Nobody is forcing them to accept the money. Because, you know, they’re a sovereign nation with the authority to make decisions for themselves. You even said it yourself
Would our government accept aid from China
China offering us aid doesn’t “usurpe our authority”. How the heck did you even come up with that nonsense.
But hey, believe whatever you want. Me, I think we should take responsibility for the harm we’ve done to the world and offer to make amends in some way or another. I don’t think it’s right to take a shit in somebody else’s yard and tell them it’s their problem. But again, that’s me.
Trickle down economics, as a theory, has been around well over 100 years, and it’s never been believed in by everybody. Hell, a presidential candidate gave a speech against the idea in 1896
You’re correct about misinformation having been around forever, but access to and ease to create misinformation is greater than ever before thanks to the Internet.
