My first question coming into this thread was, “is this a Trump judge?” I’m glad OP answered that in the post!

Nobody in the article or in this thread: “Genocide.”

You: “This accurate reporting of real world polling doesn’t reflect my world view, so it must be trolling and be about genocide!!”

This made me chuckle. Thanks.

Related: my buddy was wearing a romphim the other day at a party. It’s like a romper but for men.

The person said Cuba being under US sanctions is what caused the Pacific side of WWII. What they were TRYING to say is that Cuba has been under sanctions, and that OTHER, unrelated sanctions were the cause of the Pacific side of WWII; but they used indefinite pronouns and therefor had a confusing sentence.

The joke is about the unintended interpretation of the sentence.

Cheaper than gas? Who cares?

Better for the environment? Not my problem.

Never have to drive out of my way to go to a smelly gas station and get bothered by people begging for money for gas to go to a “job interview?” I like smelling like poison.

Saving 10 minutes once a week? Now you’re speaking to what’s important to me!!

Did you seriously say “are you sure?” and then link to the exact words the person said?

He was president when he falsified records, which is the crime he was convicted of, not paying off a porn star.

No, the crime isn’t the hush money, it’s the falsifying records. And THAT happened while he was president.

They aren’t banning Airbnb. They are banning short term rentals. Huge difference. You can do long term rentals on Airbnb, and you can do 2 day rentals on other websites like VRBO. Those other sites have been around for a very long time.

Thank you to SCOTUS for creating the world’s largest and most ambiguous loophole.

That’s a different type of test for a different type of rocket.

This opens the door for ranked choice voting, which I’m in favor of, but in an extremely red state also opens the door for silencing minority parties.

Ranked choice is awesome, in my opinion. My concern is with open primaries, and specifically this single primary idea. Primaries are supposed to be where private organizations can choose who they think is the strongest candidate in a general election. Letting people outside the organization to vote allows, for instance, a Republican to vote in the Democrat primary for the weakest candidate. The idea with this initiative is that so few people are actually members of a party, regardless of how they vote, that they don’t get a say in who they are voting for. My concern, which might be invalid, is that in a state that votes 80% Republican a single primary that picks the top 4 candidates will just pick 4 Republicans for the general election. In the current system, the Green Party has a candidate in the general, as well as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party and whoever else. If I’m understanding what I read correctly, this proposed system has all candidates lumped in one primary with the top 4 going to general election where ranked choice comes into play.

Maybe there is some check in place to prevent it, but what is to stop the 80% of the state who are against Democrats from voting a top 4 of all Republicans? The smaller parties would have to be 100% unified to even stand a chance to make it to the general.

"it’s government’s role to provide a good public education,” he said.

That’s fucking rich from a Trump supporting Republican.

EDIT: Kept reading. "we need to be looking at how we’re preparing all students to be successful, not just my student.” Jesus, they are so close to getting it!

The ruling says that INTENT cannot be questioned. The President can say whatever he/she wants after the assassination, and it cannot be questioned by courts. The Pres can say that the killing stopped an imminent terror attack. They can say the person was in the middle of committing a crime and had a (totally not planted) gun on them.

I get what you are saying, that extrajudicial execution is not a faculty given to the executive branch. In the US, the judicial system is supposed to have the power over adjudicating crimes. And US citizens have the right to trial by their peers. But the government has shown repeatedly in the past that when it comes to terror that they are more than happy to waive rights. See: Guantanamo, drone kills of US citizens, cops killing people who are only suspected of being a threat, etc.

It was hung illegally on government property. Regardless what it said, this was not allowed. They are being prosecuted instead of simply fined because it was racially motivated like a hate crime.

I’m my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bike.

No, that’s not what they are saying, dipshit.

Nah, it’ll be around $6/year you were a subscriber while the lawyers will get $34/year.
