Illegal, no. Unethical, most likely yes. And it’s certainly being used in an unethical way.

It seems based on questioning from the female justices that they’re highly skeptical of any scheme to invalidate nationwide injunctions. It’s hard to make a case for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were ruled 7-2 against.

World perfected the formula that 3 established

I don’t need to see either movie, but you’re right that the similarities do sound pretty damning.

Is he only supporting gun control candidates to primary incumbents? I don’t know and am just looking to be informed.

What don’t you agree with Hogg about? Just curious.

In a pre-Roberts court, fine. But you are aware I’m sure that this court routinely ignores precedent, and it’s not good enough to just say, well, your judges ignored precedent and made a number of terrible rulings against the spirit of the Constitution, but we’re gonna follow tradition and decorum and keep with those rulings because we’re going to follow the rules.

A successor court (whatever form that takes) must reverse the worst decisions, and then Congress needs to step in and enact laws in support of the new rulings.

Perhaps you missed the news where Trump explicitly encouraged immigrants of European descent to come to the US and made expedited arrangements for white Afrikaner “refugees” recently.

Or in his first term during the Unite the Right rally, when racists marched in Charlottesville and chanted “You will not replace us,” meaning Jews and non-white minorities, and Trump responded by saying there were “very fine people on both sides.”

I think you’d have a pretty steep uphill argument to say that this administration is not a white supremacist (and misogynist) movement at its core.

Again, I don’t believe this myself, but what they mean by “white culture” or “European Anglo-Saxon values” or whatever is simply a homogenous culture centered around white supremacy.

I mean, obviously. I’m not saying I believe it or that it’s viable.

Boomer telling younger generations they must suffer for the future while refusing to sacrifice anything at all themselves is a very Boomer take.

Edit for drive-by down voters: I’m saying this is what they believe, not that it’s true or I believe it. I mean, all I’m talking about is the “Great Replacement” theory that people like Stephen Miller fully adhere to.

It’s pretty simple: the white population is losing ground relative to non-white populations. Yes, other populations will increase, but there’s a practical ceiling. They likely believe that the white population gains will more than offset any gains by other ethnicities.

For black populations specifically, I’d have to do some simple analysis on this data, but it doesn’t look particularly disproportionate in absolute numbers.

But really, I don’t believe the black population is the principal target. See the graph. Consider the immigration policy.

This must be terrifying. I disagree with this new requirement to appear in person every few months for reasons just like this, and I’d like to share cases like yours when I talk to Trump voters. Would you be willing to share the condition that keeps you homebound and prevents you from traveling in person?

Most of what they do is in service to white supremacy, including this.

• Abortion restrictions: more white babies
• Pornography restrictions: more white babies
• Immigration restrictions: fewer brown babies

Make America Great Again literally just means “restoring” the “supremacy” of the white race and culture over all others.

Yeah I’m sure they’ll get right on that

They’re drinking water with electrolytes and having their vitals checked twice a day. If their vitals start to become weak or erratic, I’m sure they’ll a taken to a hospital.

But if they actually intend to see it through, they can go for quite a while. If they also take vitamins and a potassium supplement for heart function, they could survive without food for over a year. (The actual length depends on many factors, of course, particularly starting weight.)

Without supplements or electrolytes, a person can survive for around two months. (Again, depending on starting weight and other factors.)

That’s right, each state has its own educational standards. For example, Colorado’s educational system is very, very different from West Virginia, like it’s a different country.

I made the comparison of Lisbon to Helsinki solely because of the distances involved; it’s roughly the same distance as Seattle to DC.

If it helps to imagine it, the US is basically an unhappy married couple forced to live in the same house.

I don’t disagree, but for what it’s worth, I don’t think most Europeans could either. As a comparison, I can certainly tell you that most Europeans can’t identify US states on a map outside of maybe one or two, and have no concept about the size of the US generally. That’s why Americans constantly hear about how we should be “protesting in DC,” as if people in Lisbon would ever protest in Helsinki. I don’t think ignorance and provincialism is a localized phenomenon.

She’ll get around to it once she finishes finals week
