This catastrophe puts hanging chads to shame. It was an outright, clearly invalid ballot, both parties had agreed to the original recount and the GOP had officially conceded the race to the Democratic candidate, and then got a panel of 3 judges appointed by Republicans to submit this trashed ballot a day later.

Kinda feel like I’m stating the obvious here, but isn’t deportation the Republican goal? They’ll kick the can, as you say, but ultimately I think they want to be able to say “oh we triiied to be reasonable but ehhh what can you do” while at the same time getting rid of folk that make them uncomfortable with their…

Have they been convicted in a court of law? No, he decides who is “guilty” and he is a sociopath who has PTSD. He’s not super reliable

What if I told you.... that for a short moment in time in a small Eastern European town, Ball was life?

My cousin is a basketball agent very familiar with Europe. He told me that this is like, a 10-15K person town they’re playing in with a really bad history of racism. The coach is super intense, doesn’t speak a lick of english, and chain smokes during halftime.

Its not a revelation, and very few people are treating it as such.

No one likes Paul LePage. He’s a trash human being. He gets elected with 30% of the vote because the Dem vote gets split with an independent candidate. Northern New Englanders are suckers for “independents.”

Oh hey, this is the dude that ran around bragging he kept a “binder of every single drug dealer who has been arrested in our state” saying it was 90% Hispanic or African American.

The bail reform move is a step in the right direction for sure, especially if they’re going to do it right and get a good infrastructure in place.

Spoiler Alert: if you didn’t see this film in theaters, you’re not seeing it the way the director intended anyway.

Probably not. They use the metric system in Germany.

She was? Where did you glean that? What I’m seeing is a stunning lack of self-awareness.

You must be incredibly fireproof with all these strawmen you keep bringing to conversations around here.

you claimed people had been arrested. They have not. It isn’t covered by the incitement to racial hatred laws or the incitement to religious hatred laws. So you made it up that the UK is arresting people for misgendering.

This is a lie btw. A teacher, the Daily Mail claims, was suspended for ‘praising a pupil and using the wrong gender pronoun’

It’s fucking Germany and it is specifically targeted against Nazis and Nazis have no rights.

First, ripping you for your perspective is not hate speech.

If Nazi philosophy is not obvious hate speech to you, and why, I suggest you go back to school.

Am I posting hate speech that calls for the genocide of millions of people and caused the death of 10 a millions in the past?

You know perfectly well that a single individual’s standard is not what is guiding these laws. I may not agree with them but the idea that your putting forth is simplistic and missing reality.
