I'm sure you think you fit the bill, though.Oh, absolutely. I'm a genius. But you're right, of course, that any system that would qualify who is "worthy" will have inherent flaws or bias. But, at the same time, we will all be resigned to watching our democracy slowly die from the inside out. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

that is a hot take, this whole thing with these people would be alleviated with ranked choice voting. But that makes to much sense.I mean, this change absolutely needs to happen. The point stands, way too many people aren't worthy to vote. They aren't intelligent, aware, of non-prejudiced enough. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

Why is there even a fucking hearing about this?!Because the MAGA part of the court are compromised traitors. No, really. Conventional wisdom is the only reason they didn't decline to hear this/instantly laugh it out of the court is to help delay the election interference case against Trump until after the election, in the hopes he might be untouchable then. The fact that Trump's own lawyer is blatantly saying how insane of the idea of total Presidential immunity is to be entertained in front of the SC is tragic in of itself. Dude is tactically admitting this means Biden could off Trump and arrest the SC with total impunity. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

Distilling the election down to the pure pass/fail that it is, not voting tactically helps Trump. There's no reason to do that unless you actually like Trump, or are too dumb to know how our election system works. On a broader scale, no.

Not that it will matter. Alito and Thomas will rule against this, so it's +2 for the evil fucks out of the gates. It won't take much for the other fucks to twist this in a way that makes sense to them. Kav already is trying, with the "but was the bill originally passed for this intent?" That isn't how laws work. Only the actual language matters. If that was the case, then the 1st wouldn't protect non-18th century technology free speech, no one would have a right to a gun, etc. Not that hypocrisy has ever stood in the way of these idiots.

This is my fucking problem with how the US manufactured bills. I need to get a bridge in Omaha repaired but in so doing I also have to okay children not getting school lunches.They are called Christmas Tree bills, and basically the new norm of getting bills passed. Most of this has to due to GOP-lead obstruction. Simple yes or no's on single-issue bills will die to GOP opposition (or never see the light of day if the House is controlled by the GOP). But they stand a chance of passing if they can be bundled with pet-project stuff like this. It's trash, but likely won't go away until GOP actually has very little seats. Pretty fucking wild to ban an entire social media platform. It's no secret how bad the data mining is, but it's also no different than any other social media company. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

Shit went off at it's typical max volume. I jolted out of bed at 3:40AM because, fuck I don't know, I thought a nuke warning was going off and was getting an alert or something. I just started running out of my room and down the hall, not even really awake. I hurt my leg pretty badly, pulled a muscle that took weeks to work out.
