Ahh yes, I forgot that Biden was the only person that determined who got elected to the a completely separate branch of government.

You can just say that you're a republican or a foreign agent and that you don't like Biden. You would sound more believable.

That seems like a reasonable lesson to teach at that age. There's a lot of social development that happens during that part of life.

It may not be easy to teach at any age, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taught.

They don't exactly fail the quality checks, they get binned into a lower grade. It's a common practice in many industries when reworking isn't possible or financially viable.

It isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Consumers can save some money when they don't need top performance, the company gets some revenue, and the products don't go into a landfill right away.

Juries and judges are the ones who should be making those decisions though. Not a political rival.

The report found that there was insufficient evidence and therefore it wasn't worth a jury or judge's time to review the case (which is what decline to prosecute means in this situation)

Article states the use of an electron beam to enable this. So not currently scalable, but still a seemingly significant result.

The times article, which the Hill article is just rephrasing:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/26/nyregion/trump-carroll-pay-83-million.html?smid=url-share

I realize there maybe a pay wall for some, but I didn't have an issue.

The Hill article also misleads by saying that he won't have to pay. They mean that Carroll may not get paid until the appeals are finished. However, Trump will have to pay a deposit to the court or secure a bond while appeals are pending, so he will have to pay someone for now, but that might not be Carroll yet.

Everyone says the darkest timeline started when Harambe was killed. I think it was when Stewart left the Daily Show.

Maybe this will be able to get us back a little bit.

Their arguments are ridiculous. The state executed its right to select their electors. Congress has the power to remove the disability if supported by 2/3rds.

They are arguing that since they didn't impose the disability that the State overstepped their rights. This is not how the 14th was written.

While text based messages on usenet may be dieing, the file sharing is still quite popular. My radar and sonar still pick up plenty of signals.

The Supreme Court is supposed to rule on the constitutuonality of laws passed by the legislature. The court has no power to make laws.

Making a decision about the legality of medication is judicial overreach. That power is granted to congress alone, unless they have delegated some of that power to the executive branch (such as through the FDA).

Well if wives are fair game, the Thomas's are going to have a rough time.

I think a lot of people feel that youtube is getting to eat all of the cake and is only offering crackers in return.

I think people accept that services need to advertise to survive, but become upset when that level of advertisemeant becomes excessive.
