Didn’t stormy daniels say she feared she would be killed as well?
They already are treating him like a martyr. It would just be follow through at this point
the ruling is basically “the courts get to decide what an ‘official act’ is and that ‘official acts’ can’t be used in court, eg courts get to decide without jury nor law what is legal or illegal for the president to do and open the door of barring whatever evidence they please from lower courts” aka, they created a loophole in the constitution the size of an ICBM that the courts can drive whatever they want through.
Did you equate
No, I was correcting YOUR comparison. I think shaming racists is quite good, while shaming fat people is misguided.
ignore all the medical and scientific evidence
The point here is that our value judgements about health aren’t medical or scientific. Risky behavior isn’t universally frowned upon by society. Often its encouraged.
In the US, for instance, automobile accidents are a lead cause of death for people under 35, yet we don’t treat driving with the same disdain as smoking or obesity. As far as “lack of physical activity” goes, car accidents represent a major source of injuries, which do make people less able to keep up healthy lifestyles. Yet again, little disdain.
Smoking is a great comparison here, because if you want to take the medical literature seriously you can’t just handle it from the consumer end, you also have to deal with industries that employ swaths of food scientists to make bad food addictive and cheap.
All in all, I do think we could benefit from thinking about why we shame people for things and ask ourselves if we’re applying these judgements in a consistent way.
People do die 30 years earlier because they’re black - thats often how racism works…
Imo how do we know what “normal” is and has that been the case for the last 1000 years? The Japanese have employed sumo wrestlers to serve in a sport, for instance. I think its fair to say fat shaming is a more modern phenomena that’s occurred more recently as high calorie low nutrition food became mass produced and microplastics have accumulated in all our bodies.
techically the US is like 99% immigrants
some republican would have won in 2020, for sure; trump or somebody worse
the easiest way to fix the courts is to appoint “all american citizens of voting age currently and any future citizen when they reach voting age” to the court - this means presidents would simply no longer be appointing people to the court. The current justices could still write opinions they would just be nonbinding without a vote of the public.
I hate this timeline.
Would be a shame Dark Brandon used his newfound powers to execute the supreme court for treason.
weird that the constitution says nothing about “immunity” but the courts keep creating various forms of it. Its almost like we explicitly need an amendment that says courts are not allowed to declare things “immune” from the law.
Running the king james bible through this
Trump is a liar, moron, idiot who can only appoint corrupt corporate stooges? His “NAFTA renegotiation” was a boondogle. He’s stupid enough to think a 100 billion dollar wall will keep people with 30 dollar ladders from crossing one of the largest borders in the world. But hey at least contractors will get paid.
Not enough? The current out of control housing prices are almost certainly the result of the trump tax cuts for the rich leading to investment firms like vanguard becoming bloated extra money and buying up housing.
His completely corrupt supreme court picks are dismantling laws that prevent chemical and oil companies as well as heir clients from poisoning the public by dumping chemicals in rivers’
Trump was an unmitigated disaster of a president. He is responsible for something like 3 trillion in debt increases that went almost solely to corporations. A vote for trump is simply a vote install a moron actor who played a business man for president so he can let international corporations strip this country for spare parts.
Wrong, this is the elon musk complaint forum. Always has been
4% is high considering there are probably more corporate desktops tham personal ones
That won’t be enough, but its a good start
They’re the same picture
Boeing says those capsules are just fine, its just a little leak, bro.
