Says they can hold for 48 hours for DHS to take them into custody. He was released Thursday evening but I dont see when he was arrested. If it was Tuesday evening then the only reason he was released was because DHS didn’t take him into custody which implies they realized they couldn’t and didn’t even attempt to get him released sooner or punishing him with a 48 hour imprisonment was the whole point. What’s to stop them from imprisoning any citizen for 2 days for whatever reason.

How do you explain this party line vote then? They are leagues better than the alternative. Dems platform inherently requires an informed and participatory electorate which we don’t have.

Its part of wada rules to which the ioc is compliant? Drug test results for these organization are often published, at least they are for my powerlifting org

Taiwan next!

When Pubs neglected their constitutional duty to appoint Garland

Looks like it just matches long term inflation, beats 2023 inflation. Win for workers.

During the observation period from 1960 to 2022, the average inflation rate was 19.0% per year. Overall, the price increase was 1.36 million percent. An item that cost 100 pesos in 1960 costs 1.36 million pesos at the beginning of 2023. For October 2023, the year-over-year inflation rate was 4.3%.

Congress already passed the budget. This is just the party of “government doesn’t work” trying to prove it can’t work by breaking things.

You have details about her case you’d care to share?

What about the disenfranchised caused by first past the post? It’s arguably more representative even if some are partially disenfranchised.

second term of trump will be an order of magnitude worse

How would it be worse, like more of Jan 6? Would you explain what you mean?

should have let him win

Actually made me laugh. Guys, democrats just need to let repubs win and not hold elected officials responsible for crimes in office, come on.

From the article:

Mohamed Shalleh had argued that a friend he owed money to had tricked him into believing he was delivering contraband cigarettes.

You support this man being executed? Per the article it was for 54 grams of heroin which the state claims is enough for:

600 users for a week

Which is a blatant lie and evidence the state resorts to falsehoods to justify its barbarism. 1/2 a gram a day is common for an addicted user, so this man was carrying (unknown to him) just over 100 doses.

I encourage you to learn facts and circumstances around these cases. Legal eagle on youtube can provide an informative, entertaining overview from a lawyer’s perspective. The details surrounding the documents and the subjects response to inquiry is very different.

We limit responsibility for youth, is that bigotry?

Youre asking under the context of others (and yourself?) justifying 3rd party vote. I can’t predict how the democrats would vote if/when they have a have a majority. I’m saying if you want those policies the only realistic path forward is to fight for it within the democratic party which was an earlier question of yours. 3rd party vote is strictly counterproductive to those goals. Certainly if Manchin and Sinema are barriers to that, the path forward is to fight for them to be pushed/primaried out and those policies are more likely to be implemented. Progressives represent a large group within the democratic party and more representation for them will shift the Overton window in their direction.

Yes. That’s unfortunately how it is in a 2 party system which is guaranteed by the game theory behind first part the past voting. Burying your head in the sand and pretending otherwise with a 3rd party vote leads to a spoiling effect more destructive to your cause.

Campaign within the Democratic Party for those positions- they already have a lot of support.

wouldn’t exactly be fair that ~40 million Californians stomped on everything 500k Wyomese

Thats what the fucking senate is for, why the hell is the house capped? /ranting

Hello fellow libruls!

None of this would be an issue if the medical bills were covered by single payer. I learned in other countries there’s no “ambulance chasers” because there’s no reason to have them - a whole parasitic industry nonexistent.
