Ford was, based on the behavior of the Reagan, W Bush, and Trump administrations, entirely wrong to pardon Nixon. There is no reason to repeat his mistake.

Ah fuck, it's been scraping the Facebook comments under every math problem with parentheses that was posted for 'engagement'
But God forbid we let the FDA have a look at these supplements, because if we did, the Pyramid Scheme Industrial Complex would collapse and with it the economy of Utah and the finances of the LDS Church.
Now that it's considered it a slur, we can expect huge increase in its use on the platform, right?
In case anybody doesn't already know this, the Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization of private (and also publicly traded) business owners that just sounds like it's part of the government.
You're definitely paying for legality and safety, but when you have to search through five different streaming apps to find that the movie you're looking for can only be rented via yet another service, the convenience becomes debatable.
When your political project is 'make everyone as miserable as I am', whining about every goddamn thing is actually a kind of praxis.
Switch focus to US wars
Because if you thought the kids hated America when they found out about the racism and sexism, wait till they find out about My Lai and Haditha.
It is and it has been since 1787, but there's no functional difference between a law not being enforced and the thing the law's about being legal.
(Art. I, § 9, cl. 8): “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
(Art. II, § 1, cl. 7): “The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”
(Art. I, § 6, cl. 2): “No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.”
Instead, because it was established in the middle of our aughts war crime spree, we passed the Invade the Hague if they Arrest any of Our War Criminals Act.
It's a prion disease. Mad Cow, Creutzfeldt-Jacob, Chronic Wasting (so far only seen in deer), and Scrapies (known of for a long time and so far limited to sheep and goats) all start with a misfolded protein and gradually break down the brain till it looks like a sponge.
At last, able-bodied adults will join kids and pets in checks notes dying in a hot car
America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.
Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.

These kinds of guys have been active in California since basically as soon as it was granted statehood. The Big Four (a clique or robber barons) tried to rule over the state with the wealth they built up with the Central Pacific Railroad.
One of them, Leland Stanford (of Stanford University), actually did become governor and eventually senator.
Another, Charles Crocker, invented Californian NIMBYism with his infamous spite fence.
Source appears to be called 'Art News', so they probably have a particular interest in arts and culture.
If we suspect the Saudis did this, we should absolutely look into it, and if they did, stop providing them with weapons.
But while we're auditing who may have used American weapons to kill migrants, we might want to check on this little organization called Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The CPC doesn't deserve defense. The most reactionary Tiananmen protester was more communist than any Dengist since then was.
When the crisis hits (which in Argentina's case is the default status) and the contradictions heighten, libertarians eventually have to choose between free markets or free people.
And the "free helicopter rides" jokes they've been making for the last decade tells me how wrong they tend to choose.
You know how the Tesla board voted to gone him a $50 billion compensation package? After child support gets deducted he's actually making a modest six figure paycheck.
These temperatures will kill people. They will cause crop failures. The death, hunger, and hardship will cause people to leave their homes to come to more habitable regions.
But there will still be habitable regions for generations still to come. A lot has been lost, and more will be before we fix what we broke, but plenty can still be saved as long as we don't just give up
Not entirely true, they can't get enough of art that is exactly like the things they already like. A boring landscape that could have been painted a century earlier? They love that shit.
But if you dare try to get creative (with message or medium) they will demand your head.
Because maintaining a train length vacuum is really difficult and doesn't really provide that big of a benefit.
Atmospheric rail has been attempted with varying degrees of success (but never to a 'replaces traditional rail' degree) for 200 years.

Best guesses would be the way that Ticketmaster's site shit the bed when people were buying tickets when the Eras tour kicked off or the way that ticket scalping has grown online
That's good advice. Shame he and his colleagues didn't follow it in 303 Creative
If legal alternatives undercut their main income stream, yes, they'll disappear. Or rather, they'll fall apart as their resources become scarce and the 'middle managers' being cut out of the remaining money start fighting the higher ups and each other.
Ending alcohol prohibition didn't strengthen the bootleggers. It put them out of business as Budweiser ate their lunch.
The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought, and Rosewater read out loud again:
Oh, boy–they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!
And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.
If a recording of it comes out, it won't be his undoing, it will be license for the people who like him to join him in saying it.
She's only OG if you disregard the fifty some odd years of the word libertarian referring to anarchists like Emma Goldman. Back before Murray Rothbard hijacked the term.
Once they're under enough pressure, conservative governments will occasionally grant concessions.
Require a CDL for the big vehicles. Maintain stringent requirements for the CDL.
Do you still want that electric Ram?
Because there's now an infrastructure built up around him with plans on how to override those checks and balances (Project 2025).
Ankara's their capital, but you're right to point out that this is nothing new.
The policy also ensures that no additional Russian warships get into the Black Sea.
As much Saudi money as he burned though, I'm expecting him to leave an embassy in a half dozen suitcases.
When you're paying 40k a year to attend their hedge fund with a sports team, there shouldn't be much of any place that's off limits to you.
And it seems rare that college kids get arrested en masse. So they're right to be at least a little surprised that this protest got cracked down on so hard.
They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.
They'll almost certainly try to (and some people who are currently involved may see some success). But they won't have their de facto monopoly anymore. And these organizations are rife with internal corruption (shocking, I know); they aren't being run efficiently.
Without their monopoly profits, they aren't going to be able to afford the hit squads, the bribed law enforcement, or the silence of the people who know where the bodies are buried (often literally).
Crime won't magically fall to zero overnight, but these organizations will not be having a good time.
Debs ran from prison (for the high crime of telling people that WWI was none of our business and people shouldn't enlist to get turned toa pink mist in Belgium) in 1920
As for voting as a felon, that varies state to state. I don't think there's anyplace that allows people to vote from prison, but quite a few states let convicted felons vote once they've completed their sentence and any parole that follows it (and in some states, pay additional fines, which sounds a bit like a poll tax to me, but I'm not one of our nine kritarchs, so what do I know about that sort of thing?)
As for people running for office when they couldn't vote, Elizabeth Cady Stanton ran for office well before she could have voted, and the first woman elected to Congress (Jeanette Rankin) was elected in 1916, several years before women's suffrage was added to the constitution, though her state, Montana, had allowed women to vote already.
My dude, flappers could have bought some of the first country records. It's been a genre since before they switched from wax cylinders to vinyl records.
Maybe this rally indicates that when the 'not left, not right, but center' crowd is forced to make a choice they won't empower the Petainists.
