I don’t want to rock the boat or anything, but does anybody else think that maybe we need just a tiny bit of judicial reform? It seems to me like there’s an awful lot of people doing an awful lot of criming and our judicial system is apparently not that interested about stopping them until after the next election. And there’s always a next election.
So far.
I just can’t with this shit any more. For all intents and purposes, we have two parties in this country. One of them incites idiots to kill immigrants and gleefully admits doing so. The other party knows that immigrants are people. And somehow the headline ends up being … this slop.
Because Democrats are apparently not enthusiastic enough about immigrants? Or maybe just because the media is vile and only cares about the media. Either way, this is awful reporting. Equating Republicans with Democrats on immigration in any way is astoundingly dishonest and the article fails in every possible way to justify the headline.
France is a Schengen country. There are no meaningful border controls. He could literally take public transport all the way back to the Russian border without ever pulling his ID out of his pocket. And he probably will.

They’re not at odds. Trump chickened out and now he wants to have a rally on Fox instead of the debate he previously agreed to.
Kamala’s gonna be the impetus voters need to turn Texas blue and it ain’t ever going back. Performative cruelty has no place in Texas or America.

That’s . . . not what cute means.
What does it mean when the highest court in your ostensible democracy is this obviously compromised?
I mean morally it’s obvious. Their judgements are invalid. Useless. Feel free to ignore anything they say if you can get away with it. But unless we’re down for anarchy, what means do we have to deal with this? Legally the president can pack the court. So long as he can get the senate to go along. But he doesn’t seem to want to, and there are no viable alternatives to the president we have. Not yet, anyway.
So here we are. A ‘democracy’ with a supreme court that’s openly compromised, if not outright corrupt. Nobody’s running on a ‘maybe the supreme court shouldn’t be filled with 18th century ideologues and grifters’ platform. Nobody’s talking about upside down flags and RVs on the major networks.
So what do?
That’s pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it’s always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.
I imagine they’ll have backtracked on this decision long before then.
I kind of assumed it was based on one of those ‘how they photograph food’ articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I’ve seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.
According to who? Did the NTSB clear this? Are they even allowed to clear this? If this thing fucks up and kills somebody, will the judge let the driver off the hook 'cuz the manufacturer told them everything’s cool?
I read that as ‘euthanized’ and I wasn’t even surprised.
Eminent domain the final mile and be done with it. These companies have no business holding our national infrastructure hostage.
What kind of world do we live in when a fundamentalist authoritarian lunatic can’t even successfully crowdfund his human trafficking operation?
If it weren’t for the thieving class and the people who fall for their bullshit, I’m convinced we’d be having serious discussions about what it means to live in a post-scarcity society by now.
I can’t help thinking that if you’re running for president and you decide, because reasons, that you want to climb into a big truck on camera, you should maybe get in on the driver’s side. And not use a garbage truck. And not put your campaign slogan on the side of a garbage truck. And grasp the door handle firmly on your fist attempt while staying upright.
And also, just don’t. But what do i know?
