The true reason American boys and men should carry tampons and pads.

And yet the US would be in such better shape had she been elected.

And a hawk is a bird and Tuah is a boys name in Urdu meaning luck or fortune. And yet hawk tuah is not a fortunate bird.

The debate was a pure Giash Gallop. It was actually made worse by the microphones being turned off. Biden telling Trump to just shup up man, was actually a good part of the previous debate. I saw a man who had obviously slowed down, but at least appeared to have a grasp on issues and willing to debate on issues. The other person just generally spewed nonsense. Both are poor candidates, very poor candidates.

Because people refused to vote for the email lady.

This is the crux of it really. It makes selling pardons impossible to prosecute for instance. Trump is going to make an absolute fortune in his next term.
-
No, not quite the same. They have thrown out all rules and have made themselves the single arbiter of every regulation.

I think what SCOTUS has done is elevated itself to the most important branch. With the legislative branch in absolute chaos and unable to legislate, the executive branch unable to set rules, the judicial branch just became supreme ruler of the land.

The Continent’s Consensus on Climate?……Crumbling

Ohhh the fucking irony....... -
You would think. But prayer in the middle of the Football field by a school employee has been ruled as private speech and as such protected. So with the current SCOTUS I can see a ruling where they give more weight to the private speech part...somehow.

Others post due to compulsion, but I am much smarter, I always reply for a very different and much better reason. Too funny. -
Would be helpful if your congress was functioning and would just introduce legislation banning bump stocks.

Slowest start to Atlantic hurricane season…

from that link: It is an established fact that human-induced greenhouse gas emissions have led to an increased frequency and/or intensity of some weather and climate extremes since pre-industrial time, in particular for temperature extremes. -
The Continent’s Consensus on Climate?……Crumbling

How might climate change affect farming and food security in the future? Up to a certain point, rising temperatures and CO2 can be beneficial for crops. But rising temperatures also accelerate evapotranspiration from plants and soils, and there must also be enough water for crops to thrive. For areas of the world that are already water-constrained, climate change will increasingly cause adverse impacts on agricultural production through diminishing water supplies, increases in extreme events like floods and severe storms, heat stress, and increased prevalence of pests and diseases. Above a certain point of warming -- and particularly above an increase of 2 degrees Celsius in average global temperatures – it becomes increasingly more difficult to adapt and increasingly more expensive. In countries where temperatures are already extremely high, such as the Sahel belt of Africa or South Asia, rising temperatures could have a more immediate effect on crops such as wheat that are less heat tolerant. Without solutions, falling crop yields, especially in the world's most food-insecure regions, will push more people into poverty – an estimated 43 million people in Africa alone could fall below the poverty line by 2030 as a result. https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2022/10/17/what-you-need-to-know-about-food-security-and-climate-change Here are some ways climate contributes to Africa’s food crisis: Average temperatures are rising faster in Africa than in the rest of the world. Rainfall is increasing in Africa by 30% in wet regions and decreasing by 20% in dry regions. 95% of Africa’s farmers rely on rainfall and do not have irrigation systems. Before 1999, a poor rainy season in Africa occurred every five or six years. Today, farmers grapple with lack of rain every two or three years, according to the International Livestock Research Institute. Across Africa, agricultural productivity has declined by 34% due to climate change, more than in any other region, the U.N. says. https://it.usembassy.gov/how-climate-change-affects-the-food-crisis/ Just a few examples. Amazingly, it isn't as easy as "uhhhh, more carbon...more food....so climate change is awesome" -
I am not sure the case was decided on merit or facts, but on lack of standing.

Clearly you also don't know how quotation marks work.......My actual quote below. Since the commas might be throwing you off, I have bolded the section you are all confused about. "Hence, if you really were worried about feeding the hungry, and we all know you really could care less about other people, you would be a climate change champion." I guess just like percentages, quoting and reading is also not really a strong suit. Was your MBA program video based? Maybe on YouTube? -
Pretty sure DeSantis and Newsom didn't lead countries. How would the economy be better under Trump post pandemic than it has been under Biden? How would Trump have shepherded and led the country through the pandemic?
-
Not entirely true. Joe Biden was under DOJ investigation, who than decided not to pursue charges.

Drug testing isn't normally part of the pre-sentence investigation, unless ordered by the court. https://www.nywp.uscourts.gov/presentence-investigation#:~:text=After a defendant enters a,family history https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/CPL/390.30 -
Just out of curiosity, do you think Trump handled the start of the Covid pandemic well?
-
This might get overturned on appeal in light of the recent SCOTUS (Thomas) text and history test as laid out in the Bruen decision. This new test has already caused those who are under a Domestic Violence restraining order to be allowed to continue to carry firearms.
-
Ahh the twitter generation. Just short talking points/headlines are used to try and explain complex issues... Yeah, inflation is just cause Biden printed dollars....lol

Clarence complained he wasn't making enough money and was going to have to resign to try and make more money elsewhere. he then started getting gifts and very beneficial loans from conservative leaning sources. Clarence stayed. This sequence of events alone should make him ineligible to continue to be on SCOTUS. You shouldn't be able to buy a judge, unless you are a Banana Republic.

I am pretty sure that you and I have a very different understanding of what constitutes "rational."

You must be, cause that wasn't my claim.
