Thank fuck for the vacuum. The Son of Shark, the Anti-Calculus, Destroyer of Integrals

If it existed, was proven safe, and was widely available enough for anyone to use, then of course.

The auto and airline industries would collapse, reducing pollution and global warming.

The biggest downside I can think of offhand is that everyone could vacation wherever they like, and that would quickly overcrowd and ruin all the nice places.

Well put. They're a dying breed and they know it. Principles are long out the window, now they just want to burn it down.

Fahhhcking Tim. You mean this time, Tim?

Yeah like fucking off to Cancun while his constituents froze without power and in many cases, water

We're trying, but you can't reason with hate-fueled chaos. They'll die off eventually and history won't paint them as the patriots they imagine themselves. Sanity will return, but it will take time.

And like the Alabama ruling, it doesn't explain why the court nevertheless had issued emergency relief to allow Louisiana to use its unlawful maps during the 2022 midterm cycle," Vladeck added. "It puts the court's interventions last year into ever-sharper perspective.

This stands out to me as the question begging for an answer. Surely the Supreme Court will explain itself, right? Right.

I think holding a grudge is not good for anyone. However, remembering details about who wrongs you and over what is important--you take measures to avoid letting them take advantage of you again. They have damaged your trust in them.

Your trust level in people should reflect how they've treated you. It should be possible to earn back trust over mistakes when someone truly regrets wrongdoing, but people should understand that this takes time and consistency. Anyone who doesn't understand this is not worthy of your trust.

Agreed. I'm a veteran,I had a lower security clearance, and I can attest that the sheer number of times the government warns about the consequences relating to classified materials is very high. There is no question that a military member handling things as Trump did would be locked away quickly and for the long haul.

Still I hold out hope that 45 will face the consequences he's due without pardon. Otherwise it would be setting a dangerous precedent for national security, and I can't think of anything the government holds more dearly than that. Letting 45 off the hook is effectively saying they value him more than national security, no?

I don't know the answer, BUT...what about the idea of making it legal and requiring fully transparent reporting to a government agency which then makes it all available and digestible by the public?

Seems to me that would open a lot of eyes to wasting money on these contributions. Anyone who actually wants to drain the swamp should be all for it.

To "love our country" =/= loving Trump or Christianity. Simple as that, and the Trumpsters will never understand or support that because they oppose anything out of lockstep with their beliefs. These flag-wavers don't believe in the ideals of the US, and they want to use this as a first step to begin expelling anyone they don't agree with. Yet they think of themselves as patriots.

Criticism for being exposed using shithead tactics should be humiliating. But I'm neither a politician nor a conservative, so I guess I'm not supposed to understand.
