And unfortunately the Framers forgot to put in the punishment for violating their suggestions.

Taking that it's logical conclusion, nothing should ever be done that might require subjective interpretation because fear the other side would use it improperly. Hate speech and hate crime laws exist in many, many places, and so far nobody has used to them to make pride flags or something like that hate speech. Does…

My point was that nobody suggesting that there might be a time and place where hate speech could be corralled was also suggesting that the power to decide what qualifies as hate speech should be relegated solely to the President and nobody else.

Which country is that? I didn't think that the US allowed the President to pass legislation without a check or a balance on the office.

Always involuntary gesture truthers.

So the thinking goes...if the laws here were more brutal, and the border was militarized and closed to passage, nobody would die on the border, because they wouldn’t even bother getting here.

Yeah, the whole point is to try and stay “politically neutral.” If they donated to a group that actually helped migrants, they’d risk the right wing reactionary flare up. Be as ineffective as possible, as anodyne and bland as possible, and hope this all blows over the next time Trump tweets. 

The DoJ is basically just the President’s personal law firm at this point. When the President is being sued by Congress before the Judiciary for violations of the Constitution, why does the DoJ have any sort of mandate to defend the office and the person holding the office? I find it hard to believe that such an…

So as I understand it, the “dealing with it” was creating a law that said the lawmakers could be brought in by the police and fined for not appearing at the Capitol. This now makes it incumbent on the state police to do their job, as a solution to this problem has been crafted and enacted. The police didn't do their…

Blaming them for not correcting abuses THAT HE ORDERED COMMITTED. This isn’t some natural disaster that needs FEMA money that isn’t there. They don’t even need any money. They could just stop fucking killing people and keeping them in conditions worse than terrorists keep their prisoners.

It could have been anytime in the last 23 years. The fact that it is now surfacing not as an accusation criminal or civil, but rather only in an excerpt from a memoir she is selling for profit is what is going to make this laughed off by Trump supporters and most mainstream centrist types. The only thing that could’ve…

This is super cool and all...but why are they streaming Fortnite at a Destiny con? Are there not enough Destiny streamers, or is it that they just wouldn't raise the same amount of money, so Fortnite streamers are basically donation generators for hire?

I can see that, I just don't want to think that you can essentially threaten a judge into letting you go free when breaking judicial decree.

Also, in case anyone haasnt been following, armed militias in Oregon have shut down the Legislature because of the threat of harm to lawmakers that they represent.

So maybe on the fourth time he violates an order from a Federal judge, he will go to jail? What the fuck is this shit? Is it because he is rich and white? Why does he get so many chances? It’s infuriating. How can Berman Jackson live with this shit? It’s gotta be easier and more justifiable to just revoke his bond and…

*Vlad Putin is the only thing preventing us from going to war.

My guess is he got a text from Vladdy Daddy that told him not to start shit with Iran, and even though the Hawks were salivating, he wouldn't push the button.

What about Warren is a compromise? I'm just not aware of what issues she is meaningfully right of Bernie on.

Harris’s past as an enabler of police abuse by not taking up state investigations of police shooting, not pursuing state enforcement of body cameras, and other symbols of a police state that she was instrumental in are going to be very tough hurdles to overcome. I don’t think she has the policy shops to go up against…
