Being elected president has never required being smart or sensible. Being a celebrity, (whether war hero, actor, or whatever), has frequently been a good start.

So, we know 3 of the allegations came from students facing disciplinary action together.

Uh huh. And if a majority doesn’t like something that’s in the constitution, what do you think will happen?

I’m not so sure he will. From what I understand of U.S. libel/slander laws, for newsworthy topics, (which I’d assume these incidents are) you have to prove:

1. Apparently they’ve known the layoffs were (probably) coming since November, which is apparently part of the massive morale problem A/B has been facing lately.

I assume they’re on the top of the list because they are THE candy kids (and teachers) give in grade school.

I’m not comparing the quality of the laws. I’m agreeing that they are both based in religion. (Though AFAIK “honor” killings are based on tribal law, not Sharia law. Blood debt, (It’s cool to kill somebody as long as you pay the victim’s family enough), however is Sharia law... and if you ARE the family, then you’re…

He said outsized influence, not representation. In a democracy, if you have > 50%, you pretty much control things. That’s how the system works. And is why the system ain’t so hot for anybody who isn’t part of that > 50%.

Because Minority Report isn’t a thing?  FBI can’t go around arresting people before they commit crimes?

True. Which is why people that say “well, sharia law could never happen here” are pretty ignorant. If enough people in a region want Sharia law, there will be Sharia law in spite of what the rest in the region want. Even if that “enough people” is a simple majority in the least populous 3/4ths of the states.

Probably just me, but I can’t help but think of this as a win for people that actually prefer playing games over watching others play games.

more than 60 percent of Utah residents are LDS members, which gives the Church an outsized influence in politics and public opinion.

The act of them crossing the border and asking for asylum is legal.

It sure as heck is the legal definition, and the reason why the vast majority of claims from Central America/Mexico are denied.  (last I read, between 70% to 90% denied, depending on country)

I’m curious. The argument is, from what I understand, the wall has prevented the violence in Ciudad Juarez from spilling over into El Paso.

1. You said, actually.

Eh. I’m personally of the opinion in that specific situation, (traffic is stopped and your exit is the next one and a short distance away) passing on the shoulder is actually the morally correct thing to do. Assuming that additionally:

Sounds like a good way to have your kid lose a parent. My 2 cents, but until first responders start escorting classrooms out, nobody has any business being in the halls. Going to your kid isn’t going to make your kid any safer. It’s just going to make you a LOT less safe.

Meh, dude gets KO’d by a single punch from a slip of a girl, and then only half assed kicks her in retaliation.

Eh, Is there a place where men exist in a position of power where this doesn’t happen?
