Yep. I am kind of in the same boat - in that I support unions and the right to unionize, but have seen the Fraternal Orders of Police and various teachers’ unions shield some of the most objectively awful people among us. I am still in favor of teacher’s unions though, because I know just how many districts dgaf about…

is this also a big issue in Canada? I have near zero knowledge of their law enforcement practices.

That also sounds objectively horrible, but I guess people eat up that PR-manufactured patriotic persona like manna from heaven otherwise John Cougar and the Boss would be wallowing in obscurity.

? I doubt that this kid even has standing in this case. While I havent read any of the agreements that student athletes may sign, I seriously doubt any of them say that the University is obligated to give them an irrevocable spot on the roster. IOW, I seriously doubt that this is breach of contract - which is why he…

Why even click bruh?

- or perhaps they have them far too much credit, assuming they would vote for someone with a semblance of mental stability? A poor assumption perhaps, but not one that reflects poorly upon their views of voters.

I would say that these consequences were perhaps far too abstract for the voters when they cast their ballots, but, then again, almost everyone who votes GOP seems to be acting against their own interests in one way or another (but it doesnt matter as long as you piss off some liberals?).

Voters are citizens - so I am not sure what that demographic actually speaks to, since they dont necessarily have as much dog in the fight. I would also say that I have known plenty of voting Latinos that deplore “illegal” immigrants in pretty much the exact same manner that mouthbreathing right-wingers do (in fact…

He said *maybe* it was bs. Not maintaining a lane is just cause to be pulled over, and no one can really know if the stop was justified - we just know what happened afterward, and it does not look good for the people that got booked.

Clearly you are not part of the tech-savviest generations of all time who crave authenticity. Those generations that crave facsimiles will have their lunches eaten by Snapchatters.

It informs the docs that followed though, including the constitution - and perhaps the 5th amendment. Im not saying it is watertight, but I haven’t seen many political arguments that are.

While it may not matter with the current makeup of SCOTUS - there is a good constitutional argument to be made for universal healthcare, even if it may require referencing the Declaration of Independence.

+1 mild stroke.

Oh I know PLENTY, and they are all too happy to constantly chime in unsolicited on conversations, quite obnoxiously, anytime anyone talks about politics and how they clearly have the right of it. We usually just let them finish their tirade, nod our heads as if we agree to appease them so that they will vacate the…

I never said that they required you to have an account, but they still require you to use (i.e., access) the service/site/application. The people that are doing the work are probably not PR geniuses regardless since it usually isnt their full-time gig. (most of the events I follow are for local beer releases, and some…

Is this supposed to protect them in the event of a hurricane/flooding or something? I hadnt heard of this before.

But often times they cannot be accomplished without Twitter/FB, because the people in charge of communications only use those channels. I use it for local events all the time, and they would be nearly impossible to track without FB, because most of their PR/comms/social media people do a great job of maintaining FB…

I know plenty of libertarians, and your assessment does not strike me as being remotely accurate.

This is not the same. Most people would rightly assume that most other people view such materials - but most people WOULD NOT use their verified account as a US legislator to do so. Regardless, it was a mistake - and people are often called out for such, especially when they are “family values” “do sex how I say” kind…

It is weird how a sizable portion of the US’s inability to grasp irony has caused so much harm in so little time.
