    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    The actual word of it is an incomprehensible mess of ambiguity and obsolete language. At the bare minimum it needs to be reworded to say exactly what we want it to mean. I don't claim to understand how the National Guard works, but I doubt a blanket repeal of the 2nd amendment would cause it to...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    It just goes to show what a recent phenomenon "strict constructionists" really are. For generations, the US government has been run by people who mutually agreed to ignore any part of the Constitution they found inconvenient, because it's easier than trying to change it to reflect our modern...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Hmm. I wonder if there's such a thing as a Buddhist school. In western countries, I mean.

    I was gonna say "which is why it's vitally important that he lose the ability to even run" but let's face it, anyone else who'd run instead of him would just be a more competent version of him and probably get more votes than he would have. In fact, every Republican who runs for president from...

    Another question for y'all that I've been pondering: Now that we know what he did do when faced with an election loss, what do you think he would have done had he lost in 2016? The conventional wisdom at the time was that he was surprised by his win, and was actually planning to retire from...

    On a slightly less savory note, it appalled me to hear multiple sitting members of Congress—the ones who are fighting against Trump, mind you—describe the US Constitution as "divinely inspired". Ugh. I'm pretty sure that counts as blasphemy, or at the very least heresy.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I actually listened to today's session of the hearing in full, and a good chunk of it focused on the election officials who had been targeted by Trump's mob during the recounts. They brought on an election official who had been name-dropped by Trump in one of his speeches. She and her mother had...

    It's frankly amazing that they haven't already.

    Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"

    And the studio's current leadership is supposed to still care what he thinks why?

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    A conversation I just had on Reddit gave me a brilliantly evil idea: What if we made gun ownership contingent on proof of vaccination?

    Police behaving badly

    ...Can they do that? Wait, does that mean they can also impeach the entire cabinet??? Wait, who cares? They're not getting a two-thirds majority so they're just going to make a laughingstock of themselves.

    Nobody who'd be willing to vote for Trump again in 2024 would consider any possible VP pick a deal breaker.

    He has no reason not to pardon them, except to send a reminder to all the kids watching (because it's the kind of thing only a Saturday morning cartoon villain would do) that evil can't be trusted even by other evil people. But Trump is a Saturday morning cartoon villain brought to life, so...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    They really need to just go join the Libertarians already. (Them and like half the Democratic establishment but that's another rant for another time.)

    Can Biden replace him at will? Because we might need to put pressure on him to do so.

    I haven't been watching the hearings, but they're preempting the programming on every major network so I've caught bits and pieces of it. Just a few minutes ago, they played footage of the rioters, and for the first time in my life, I heard uncensored F-bombs on network TV. In the middle of the...

    The only game I've gotten all the achievements for so far is Jazzpunk, and I feel that says more about the game than it does about me.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    To be fair, his claim about those who live by the sword sure doesn't seem to be panning out like he said it would. Can't exactly blame them for deciding they could disregard that one.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Also, anyone else here seen CSA? I never thought the scene of McCarthy asking "Are you now, or have you ever been, a homosexual?" might one day become a literal reality.
