In a civil case like this, admitting they were wrong is way more embarrassing than having to pay a fine.

How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of ‘party of small government’ irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.

you’re the arbiter of the free market now, eh

Broadcasting on TV these days is less likely to reach a wide audience than posting on the internet, but a platform is a platform.

Yeah, but it kinda makes him a hypocrite now, don’t it?

“The takeaway I got is that she wants to turn our schools into pedophile molestation factories,” DePape testified

Honest question: what does “pedophile molestation factory” even mean?!

I’m sure he would also be the first to complain if someone stronger beat him and wanted to play by their rules, too.

It’s harder and less effective with more districts, however.

I’m sure he is equally disgusted by the displays of heterosexuality in most parades, or maybe he is blind to that because that’s “normal”.

Most sitcom actors run into that. I’m sure Jim Parsons won’t ever be seen as anyone else, or for an older example all of the cast of Seinfeld (arguably besides Julia).

No, the two party ‘system’ is a natural byproduct of how our current election process works. If we saw the rise of a third party, it would eventually supplant one of the existing major parties, just like we’ve seen in the past.

By what metric is the US “the world’s leader”?

Israel is a country, not a religion.

I know this from personal experience after reading the entirety of the Left Behind book series as they were published. At the start I was spending my summers in the equivalent of that Jesus Camp documentary, and by the time I finished was at the end of my personal deconversion journey and come out the other side as an opinionated college atheist.

So, yeah, quite terrifying to see that kink for the apocalypse continue to play out in front of us.

The role is to lead the majority coalition, which currently means no Dems allowed. GOP made those rules, they have to follow them just like everyone else.

Hamas is not all Palestinians.

Source? Was it actually a BBC reporter or someone they were interviewing?

Depends on what we mean by “space”, but IMO this sentiment is much more contemporary than what someone living in the space-based luxury we see from Starfleet would think.

Good question, should ask Israel the same thing.

Blowback like this is the hidden story of the modern age. Every world and regional power has attempted it and been burned, multiple times over.

Heck, one could argue it’s exactly what happened in 1776, and the trend has never stopped!
