The key issue coming up next in the immigration fight is the judge has not identified a "bad actor" yet. You can't hold "an administration" in criminal contempt -- you have to identify a person whose actions are responsible for the contempt. And this administration thrives on avoiding...

Biden and Schumer are cut from the same cloth. They really think bipartisanship is still an option, that Trumpism is a fad and the political system will go back to "normal" any day now. But we're too far gone for that. If the system they remember ever truly existed, too few people in Congress or...

There is no future for Republicans. Trump is the only thing holding them together as anything resembling a coalition. Eight years of looking for someone able to match his energy has failed. Trump's inevitable death will be a murder-suicide pact for the GOP. There is no future for Democrats...

Electromagnetic Sansetsukon.

The only thing that can defeat the Deep State is another Deep State. . . . Now that you're done laughing, think of all the people in this country who would nod solemnly if you said that to them. . . . Then go hug your loved ones a little tighter.

I'm curious to read a full translation of "Binal Time" now. My recollection from the last time I read about that story was that Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus were inside Unicron already when Prime passed the Matrix to Ultra Magnus. It was an "Anyone will do" moment. But the wiki's summary makes...

According to the Story of Binaltech, that's exactly what happened with Ultra Magnus in that timeline. He lit the darkest hour because he was the only one available who could.

Out of all the stray lines of world-building from IDW1, "Soundwave's anti-neutral pogroms" still terrifies me to this day.

The panels make him seem weirdly reminiscent of Optimal Optimus, IMO.

Remember when Fox News said, "Some of our programming is just the opinion of the one guy who's saying it, and it's not our fault if people mistake it for actual news"? Now imagine an entire generation of teens and 20-somethings whose political opinions are shaped by an ecosystem of commentators...

Has anyone ever coherently explained what they think an America without Birthright citizenship looks like? I'm an American citizen because I was born here. If pressed, I could get my Birth Certificate to prove it. But if Birthright citizenship is revoked, then am I only a citizen if my parents...

Technically, 160 out of 197(ish) countries of the world are signatories for the ICC (not including U.S.). On the other hand, the ICC swore out a warrant for Putin because of Ukraine, and he's traveled to some ICC signatory nations since then without facing arrest. So some nations clearly don't...

Okay.

I am. literally. quoting her from the article. How have I NOT explained how I'm making the assumption that she holds a view when I am literally quoting her proclaiming that view? It sounds like you're hung up on the idea that Slavery cannot be consented to, which is factually untrue. The...

Nowhere did I say she has a good, normal concept of morality. I very specifically said it was a distorted way of thinking. I even said she has no objective concept of right or wrong. I don't understand how people keep interpreting any of that as me defending her, in any way. The fact that I put...

I did not intend to justify, okay, or rationally explain her position at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way. My intent was to articulate how distorted modern American thinking is on issues. This woman is approaching the topic from a completely foreign POV to how we're used to discussing...

Even going off of the UK definitions PrimalxConvoy provided, this still wouldn't qualify as hate speech. The communication must be "threatening or abusive". Unless those words also have different meaning across the pond, that threshold is not met here. Some people got sent a meme post...

No, she said if everyone wants something, they should go ahead and have it. If they had gone a step further and asked "so if everyone in the nation wanted slavery, that should be okay too?", you don't think she'd triple-down? This woman has no concept of what slavery is. She's not a...

This is just the inevitable outcome of Gen Z's thought process. First off, slavery is not "special". Understand it is only illegal because the 13th amendment says it is. Just like alcohol was illegal because the 18th amendment said it was...right up until the 21st amendment reversed that law...
