Was Pence the best person for the job or was he picked to appeal to certain christian demographics? How about Sarah Palin? Or Dan Quayle?

I think about this kind of thing with relation to airbnb in expensive cities, what is the ultimate free market end state? Anywhere where humans create unique culture and beauty will be hollowed out and given over to global tourists with mon

I would also blame Trump's relentless political attacks about Obama returning Iran's assets. And Biden's political cowardice after the Afghan collapse. All of it is reducing trust in US's supposed rules-based institution

What is going on is that Christianists have seized extreme power and are using it ruthlessly.

Don't working parents already have a nightmare with school day ending around 2pm? This would just shift some of that nightmare from afternoon to morning.

I googled a bunch, the highest I've seen Country listed is 4th globally, usually much lower. It's obvious to me that betwixthewires just made up his stat because he wanted to make a dumb point about clueless city dwellers.

(Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're being genuine, even with my apparently fried brain) That's certainly a possible future if the right tightens their grip on society too much, we could experience some brain drain as

Typical vindictive gloating right wing response, basically "it's my country if you don't like it get out". In a way it's true since an aggressive right wing faction has captured the least democratic institution for

There is no transparency here. The court elevated the extremely vague made up "major-questions doctrine" which essentially says that the court gets to decide if a regulatory agency's actions are "major" enough that

This radical activist court is going to continue delivering major right-wing victories for the foreseeable future and there's absolutely nothing that can be done to stop them. Every right-wing dream will become reality. I'm having

Yea those are just all-time popular songs loved by everyone, even "city dwellers".

People that blame everything bad in the world on their fellow americans that live in cities who they feel they are in a death struggle with.

Why is my comment more dramatic than saying city dwellers "love to shit on it"?

> American country music is the most commercially successful music genre worldwide Sorry I'm very skeptical about this claim. According to the recording industry's annual report Pop music continues to dominate and Country is no

Congress has been purposefully broken by Republican's new requirement that all legislation must receive supermajority approval in the senate. It's part of a coordinated plan to "drown the federal government in a bathtub"

This court is on an unstoppable extremist rampage. After another decade of their activism the country will be unrecognizable

I use to do the same and then one vindictive scammer attacked me with nonstop hangup calls for weeks from random numbers. Now I'm more wary of interacting with them at all.

That's the defeatist attitude they want you to have. Same reason they argue against taxing the rich or closing tax loopholes. The world's largest superpower has tools if we had the will, unfortunately lobbyists own our government.

You talk as if the regulations are useless. I don't want these ships dumping waste into our oceans or using slave labor. Anti-regulation boils down to a global race to the bottom of companies looking to not pay for their pollution and

Mozilla doesn't seem to have a clue why people prefer firefox. It's not because of privacy or security, though that's nice. It's certainly not because it behaves similarly to chrome. It was always the extensibility. The

There's not much obscurity here. If you have tens of millions of dollars to throw at compute and a bunch of PhDs you could develop similar tech. I don't understand the idea that ethics somehow requires existing private models to b

The attitude that I have trouble understanding is "A company spent millions of dollars researching and developing a new technology, they must make it available to me or else they are evil."

I don't see giving spammers, marketers and scammers more powerful tools as the ethical stance.

Following your example, if after you ate something the state forced you to digest it and outlawed inducing vomiting then you would have lost body autonomy. You're not in control of your body anymore.

What you're saying is that the conservative judges are activists doing what's popular in their movement, not applying any principles.

The point I was trying to make is that federalism is dumb because states are arbitrarily gerrymandered based on 1800s politics.
658.
by guelo 4y ago
You like federalism because you're a conservative and there is a higher percentage of conservative states than conservative people. And that is just a result of political territory gerrymandering battles of the 1800s. For example split

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons" means something, doesn't it? "Self defense" is nowhere in the constitution either but that didn't stop this court's radical right wing from establish
