There are two emoluments clauses. The domestic emoluments clause does block the president receiving an emolument from the United States or any state. It’s facially unconstitutional for him to charge the Secret Service for golf carts he orders them to rent.

Given the gulf between the cost of an abortion and the cost of carrying a pregnancy to term, I’m astounded that anyone says with a straight face that insurance covering abortions should cost more than that which doesn’t.

This isn’t a graph of debt as a share of GDP. I’d be a lot more concerned if it were.

Bill Clinton’s administration negotiated a pause in North Korea’s nuclear program. W.’s administration broke the deal in his first term and the North Koreans made their first successful nuclear explosion in 2006. The fuck are you on about?

According to some reporting, Donald Trump has been coming for leakers for a long time.

This is the right play. Democrats can always walk away from negotiations later, but for now it seems like they may be attracting some Republicans to sympathy for regular order, which would be a good change.

Sometimes shitty parents make shitty kids. Seems like the Christies are on track.

I would definitely not be in the “it’s cool” camp. There are a few things that can cause weird penile discharge, mostly UTIs, chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasma genitalium, and ureaplasma. Fortunately, for these, a good answer is, “Take the full course of these antibiotics and see if it gets better,” and then freak out

Green penile discharge isn’t a classic symptom of herpes. The doctor may have read the negative herpes result, treated him for a UTI, and when the discharge stopped, gotten on with their job.

Amen.

They might have come back negative.

I read both the article and the comment I replied to. I then considered the difference between an allegation and something stipulated by all sides. It’s a fun practice, if you’d like to emulate it some day.

Honestly I think the men who want to take pictures with desirable women just get off on it. Not sure they have a longer-term strategy at all.

I asked “Where are you seeing that they didn’t use a condom?” You responded that the information came from two places, both of which cited an allegation rather than an agreed-upon fact. I don’t want to be unpleasant, but it’s sort of unfair for you to be condescending about your own confusion.

It seems like you’re not distinguishing between allegations and facts.

Idk, I kind of wonder why kazari is so sure of the facts, which remains unanswered.

Ah, so it’s allegations we’re talking about, not facts acknowledged by all sides.

The Vatican can afford it, thanks to all the tithes they get from places without running water.

I don’t know how we would know that he knew he had herpes at the time. Jane Doe didn’t get a test until after seeing his disclosure of his infection, and he didn’t publicly disclose when he learned that he had it, that I saw.

Where are you seeing that they didn’t use a condom?
