And if you think he can stop the election - we had an election in 1864. In the middle of a civil war. The states that purported to secede did not get any representation, the rest did.

Fortunately, the mechanisms that enable the midterm elections are intact, and there is no path for him to stop them.

The terms of 1/3 of the senators and all of the representatives end on January 3, 2027. Without them there, his money will end soon after. There is NO mechanism to extend their terms without an election. And the elections are controlled by the states, not the federal government.

If red states decide not to have an election, they will have no representation in the house, and will lose every senator up for election.

Murder by the state is a crime against humanity.

But I can't imagine that this guy needs to be walking around outside of a prison any time in the next 20 years.

This isn't about Jill Stein being a piece of s--t.

This is about Copmala Harris being a piece of s--t who wouldn't denounce a genocide. This is about the DNC supporting loser center-right garbage.

"Vote blue no matter who" isn't a winning strategy, and the Democratic party has to fix the garbage candidates or people WILL stay home. Just because I'm a solid "lesser of evils" voter doesn't mean most people are, and doesn't mean everybody owes the Democrats their vote.

Want to win? Stop supporting genocide, you f--kwits. We need free healthcare. We need fewer and far less militarized cops. And we need better consumer protection and privacy laws. We need a better education system, not bulls--t jesus indoctrination. And we need fewer billionaires and far less of a wealth gap.

Does it also extend open enrollment?

Because that's on track to end the 15th. So unless this gets through the house, senate, and the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced sh*tgibbon signs it before then, it won't matter to anybody who couldn't afford to sign up if it doesn't.

There is literally no mechanism that would allow him to do that. And the only thing it would accomplish is him having no money, because every house seat vacates at the end of the term. No election = no house of reps = no funding for any fed program that isn't self funded. Government shutdown on steroids.

But he can't do it. The elections are handled by the states, not directly by the feds. States with Democratic governors will have them no matter what he wants, most states with Rethuglican governors will ignore him too. All it would do if he tries and pulls it off in Rethuglican-controlled states would be a Democratic supermajority.

I know how to make it easier to admire the rich!

If we take their guillotined heads and put them on pikes for everyone to see and admire, it'll be so much easier!

Maybe that's because driving a Swasticar get you flipped off and cut off in traffic.

Let's keep at it, don't let the Nazi supporters have any peace on the roads!

Ugh. They're both awful.

Newsom does not have what it's going to take to fix the mess. He's another worthless center-right Democrat like Biden.

Somebody marked that as "funny" but you are 100% correct. "Ultra processed" is utterly meaningless, because there is no definition that is logically coherent.

Potato chips vs bread is a perfect example. Bread has to undergo far more processes in its production than potato chips. But of course potato chips are called "ultra processed" because it's meaningless and an idiotic way to call a particular food "bad".

Whatever idiot came up with "ultra processed" as a way to call a food "bad" needs to be shamed for their idiocy. It's absolutely infuriating that it seems to have taken off as a way to shame food. We've even got people in this thread calling refrigeration, a technology that has literally saved millions of lives, "one of the worst thing that happened to food".

The reality is that you can't simplify a complex issue like food preservation and preparation down to buzzwords. And attempts to try with terms like "ultra processed" just make you look stupid.

Did she find a mirror?

I've been saying the TSA should be abolished ever since it was created. Security theater is NOT useful. End it.

#18

You are not wrong. ALL of them could and should have done exactly this, ordered the DEA to reclassify it. Biden could have kept his promise by doing exactly this. But instead he slow walked the process, and handed it off to an agency that should not even exist, the DEA should be abolished.

Doesn't mean he's not still a loathsome piece of fascist excrement, doesn't mean it should be schedule 3 instead of being unscheduled entirely, doesn't mean the drug schedules should even exist. But it's a small step in the right direction.

So when does Melanoma lose citizenship?

Failure to understand Russia is a huge mistake.

The only way this stops is if Russia is forced out. If ANY land is ceded, Russia will pause, build more weapons, and try again.

The only permanent fix is if an intact Ukraine joins NATO.

Maybe in a hundred years Russia will civilize. But not now.

Nobel literally set up the prize fund in his will because he felt guilty about creating better weapons.

He didn't just invent dynamite, which, while more frequently used in peaceful blasting than as a weapon, absolutely can be used as a military explosive. He also invented gelignite, one of the earliest plastic explosives, and ballistite, a smokeless gunpowder.

#17 & #18

Yep. EVERYONE who issued or followed illegal orders is guilty. The charges need to happen all the way up and down the chain of command. There are no excuses for issuing or failing to refuse illegal orders, particularly when the illegal order is literally in the manual as the prime example of an illegal order.

18.3.2.1 Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.

PROSECUTE HIM!!!!!!

Beto's serious screwup was going anti-gun in Texass. Absolutely stupid move on his part.

Going pro-genocide is a massive screwup for ANY Democrat though. That plus the idiotic "but the economy is doing great now" message cost Kamala the election. Biden's railroad strike breaking didn't help her either, nor did the Fed's out of control interest rate increases.

And that's absolutely fine. But this guy should NEVER have been in prison in the US.

This world police crap needs to stop, as does the attack on humanity that is the "war on drugs".

Lots of them have stopped believing this year. Unfortunately he still has 3 years to cause a lot of damage.

We REALLY need a way for the American people to replace a president - like petition-initiated recall elections. And the office has FAR too much power, three branches of government is NOT sufficient.

#5

Honestly, it's probably best to wait until 2029 for that. The tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced sh*tgibbon would probably just pardon him.

But what about the GHJKL jets? Are they still ok?

#10

It was absolutely NOT adjudicated in Obama's favor. Obama was never charged, never tried. Not that the current SCrOTUS would do anything about it since they ignored the constitution and decided presidents are immune.

No, war crimes aren't OK just because Obama did it. We have a LONG history of criminal presidents, and while the worst are obviously Rethuglicans, there's quite a few Democrats who are also criminal.

There's zero accountability for criminal acts by presidents, and that really needs to change. The office gets far too much respect and deference.

The christian thing to do would be kill the gays. It's in the book.

christianity is a religion of evil.
