  1. Sure white men and white men only. At the time that was written women of any colour were not equal to men. And men of colour were definitely not equal to white men. So to trundle that sentence out today as if it sort of means everyone is equal is disingenuous. It never meant that.
  2. So one could potentially take a picture of a girl in a bikini and sell it, but can't take a picture of a girl topless and sell it? What about a topless guy? What size do the breasts have to be before it becomes pornography? And why can pornography get censored, but not hate speech? Why are you proposing seeing a penis in a vagina should be banned, but a man slicing the throat of another should be fine? Do you really think a 14 year old will be more scarred from seeing a nipple than seeing somebody bleed out, or brain matter splashed all over the wall?
  3. which will all be held until the appeal has run its course.
  4. I agree, but people in that situation prior to the pandemic also were not loving that situation. Trump got the tail end of a prolonged surging economy, which was ended by a global pandemic. The comparisons aren't apples to oranges and need a lot of framing to try and equalize. Has Biden been perfect, not even close, but his presidency has been pretty successful and I personally seriously doubt things would be better if Trump had been president these last 4 years.
  5. Like what the DOJ said about Obama's strike that you then continued to call illegal? Those kinds of experts? Or like only experts that agree with your position, or that give you the feels?
  6. It is for me, when I bought my first home rate were double digits. My stock portfolio is up, bonds are down a bit, private credit is up, private equity is up and real estate holdings privately and business are up....all in all I am much better off than 4 years ago. Housing affordability is definitely an issue. But if you think that is due to Biden, then you simply have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
  7. There is also the curve of hips, which tends to be more pronounced for women, which canters the opening of the holster inwards without the weight of the firearm in it. Lot of experts here on how they would have totally prevented all of this....Or how if the SS was only white men this would have never happened...like JFK and Reagan never got shot....
  8. And Trump will likely alter his stance on electric vehicles in response.
  9. Yes, the I did not have sexual relations with that woman.... There never really was a question about non-consent in that case though. There is certainly a discussion about whether consent really can be given under such a power dynamic. But, she always maintained everything was consensual.
  10. Ohh so you are fine supporting somebody who forcibly fingered a woman against her will. That makes it sooo much better.
  11. Pretty sure we had nothing to do with it, but unrest in the US will eventually significantly impact Canada as well. So, the thanks all belong to you...
  12. I am not surprised you don't recall this. "Dismissing the counterclaim, a judge in New York, Lewis A Kaplan, said that when Carroll repeated her allegation that Trump raped her, her words were “substantially true”. Kaplan also set out in detail why it may be said that Trump raped Carroll." Guardian article Court document (pdf)
  13. I honestly don't understand how the Democrats aren't hammering this point. I don't understand why Biden in the debate didn't constantly bring up felony convictions and him being a rapist. There is no "high road" to take when you are wrestling pigs in the mud.
  14. True, but now add a position he may never have shot from before (prone), having been caught by a police officer and knowing you have limited time, heart racing.. Have the 11 year old do a 400 yard sprint, couple of push ups and then yell at him he isn't firing quick enough and see if he can hit that quarter.....
  15. Which isn't a good thing.
  16. I truly believe that history will show Citizens United to be the end of the USA.
  17. If I understand correctly, that would depend on what distance he zeroed his scope on. At a 50 yard zero it would be a 2 inch drop. At a 100 yard zero it would ne negligible. Regardless, considering the deviation was horizontal and not vertical, head movement and cross wind are much more likely factors. Edited to add: this is based on the assumption the actual bullet nicked Trump's ear. It is entirely possible Trump got grazed by a fragment of debris and was actually never shot
  18. I don't think either means anything. Not the small donation, nor the registration. I'll wait for more information to come out.
  19. This was pretty obviously going to happen and you have the bought and paid for Clarence Thomas to thank for it. He decided to throw the following into his concurrence on the Trump immunity ruling. It wasn't part of the case, therefor no arguments were had, but he decided to throw this little Easter Egg in anyways: "I write separately to highlight another way in which this prosecution may violate our constitutional structure. In this case, the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as Special Counsel to prosecute a former President on behalf of the United States. But, I am not sure that any office for the Special Counsel has been “established by Law,” as the Constitution requires. Art. II, §2, cl. 2. By requiring that Congress create federal offices “by Law,” the Constitution imposes an important check against the President—he cannot create offices at his pleasure. If there is no law establishing the office that the Special Counsel occupies, then he cannot proceed with this prosecution. A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President. " The US justice system is entirely fucked.
  20. Funny enough two of the Maga Trump supporters here say they are better off now...followed by a but some magical other people are not better off.
  21. You want me to pick 1 out of the over 30,000 ones he made during his 4 year presidency? I mean there were over 500 of them on some single days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/ Excluding the pandemic the economy grew by 2.67% under Trump (1.45% if you include the pandemic). Under Biden the economy has grown 3.4% so far. During the Trump presidency 2.7 million jobs were lost, if you exclude the pandemic Trump added 6.7 million jobs. Biden has added 15.4 million jobs. Trump added 461,000 manufacturing jobs, until the pandemic turned that into a loss of 178,000 jobs under Trump. Biden has added 773,000 manufacturing jobs. Sure Inflation has been higher under Biden than Trump, though it has been decreasing. Should note that under Trump inflation was more than 100% higher than under Obama. By the majority of objective measurements, Biden has done much better for the US economy than Trump has done. Though I am sure that Trump's infrastructure plan will finally get somewhere......lol
  22. Why do one thing at a time when you can do 5 things at a time?
