This is a public service. Thank you. There is too much misinformation and conspiracy theories floating around out there.

The point of the stimulus checks is to stimulate the economy utilizing Keynesian economic theory, not to pay people’s rent. That’s what unemployment is supposed to be for. Basically, the idea is that if a lot of people are suddenly injecting money into the economy, it prevents further economic collapse and can help…
I mean, there used to be the Coachella Arabs, but they decided to change their mascot a few years ago after some people found it offensive.
So the Santa Cruz Slugs, the Butte Pirates, the Orofino Maniacs, the Oregon Beavers, the Yuma Criminals, and the Freebird Midgets all need to change their team names.
One Washington Post poll showed that 9/10 people of Native ancestry weren’t offended by the Washington Redskin’s name. Assuming that poll is accurate, the question is, do those 10% get to speak for the other 90%? If 10% of white people find the term “white people” offensive, does that make me racist for saying “white…
The fact that I’ve never heard of Parler suggests that he probably won’t be able to round up to 100 million followers on it.
They might temporarily ban him, but he has too many followers for them to kick him off permanently.
They’re a pretty major accomplishment, regardless of what you think. Other Arab and Israeli leaders won the Nobel Peace Prize for similar deals, including the leader of Egypt, so I’m not sure you’re up to speed with current events considering that Egypt and Israel’s peace accord was negotiated by Jimmy Carter before…
Yes, but the Trump administration still agreed to pay for the purchase of the drug. Which means that they didn’t have much to lose unless they completely failed to produce a vaccine.
That forum is usually humblebragging:
I like that I can work out outdoors and not have to use headphones to listen to podcasts or lectures or TV programs.
This all happened way back before the election, after he lost interest in COVID-19. So, he might have not been involved. But if he was, he made a very good business decision because he’s a very good and well-respected business man.
I’ve had good luck with lifting outdoors this winter. Of course, we’ve been having a pretty mild winter, without a lot of rain. The wet season started last month, but I found a solution in just going to Home Depot and buying a tarp to cover the equipment and weights and I put it on now when I’m not using it to prevent…
Even if governments control many of the endpoints, in theory, there really shouldn’t be anyway for them to trace originating IPs on TOR. They would have to control a very large number of the nodes, which TOR has been updated to guard against.
Plenty top-tier legal talent has stepped forward to defend Trump, including at his impeachment trial. If they’re worried about being paid, they would just ask for the money up-front. If Trump’s campaign actually had a reasonable case to make, I’m sure he would attract top-tier lawyers just like Bush’s campaign did in…
No, this is not a valid argument. The claim that merely being charged with wrongdoing by congress makes a federal official criminally-culpable, even after a pardon, has no basis in law.
Ford pardoned Nixon for all crimes that may have been committed during the period of time that Nixon served in office. The courts dismissed a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that Ford had such constitutional power.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. Lawyers that would represent Trump in a case of criminal or constitutional law would be quite different than those representing his campaign’s election lawsuits. Also, the issues are completely different. With the campaign lawyers, the cases are being brought on pretty thin grounds…
I mean, it’s not really “guessing”. In most cases, it’s pretty well-understood by historians what positions were being debated and why certain compromises were reached. It’s very important in terms of modern governance, because the congress or the courts need to know what the drafters of the constitution intended. As…
