House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • The idea that you actually need courts behind you is laughable. Power is enforced through the threat of violence, this is how law enforcement functions. Courts do not have soldiers.

    Know who does? Commander-in-Chief, now with full immunity for any official act, like, giving orders to the military.

    One could say perhaps the soldiers themselves would be afraid of prosecution and would disobey orders, since they don't get immunity. Until the President pardons them anyway.

    Otherwise only one last line of firm defense remains: the oath each serviceman takes to defend the Constitution against all threats, foreign and domestic. That might make someone disobey an illegal order.

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • It's pretty common actually. There is a large walk-in cooler in the back where perishable backstock is stored. When new apples are needed, a big box is fetched from the cooler and the apples are restocked in the display.

    Most of the stuff is kept in the back cooler, only things left out are those harmed by refrigeration like tomatoes or those that don't go bad for a long time.

    With apples it extends their life by quite a long time though. Probably over double.

  • Finally, proof that the aliens were working with Hitler!
  • Preposterous. Humans are far too stupid to have come up with the triangle on their own. That's as ludicrous as thinking crabs could have evolved naturally. Sideways walking and eyes on stalks? Simple absurdity, they are clearly alien pets of some sort.

  • Joe Biden say he "almost fell asleep" on debate stage
  • The DNC does not decide if AOC runs or not, just like they couldn't choose whether Bernie ran or not. Otherwise they would have.

    AOC decides if AOC runs.

    I don't share your optimism that she would sweep though, I think she'd come across as too young to a lot of voters. I'm hoping she picks up a Senate seat soon, and then runs from that in the future. I think it'll put her in a better position to win.

  • Candace Owens describes science as "pagan faith"
  • De-platforming has proven ineffective. The best thing to happen to Trump was getting kicked off Twitter. Now he gets to spout all his bullshit and radicalize his fanbase with minimal pushback and reduced awareness from the public at large.

    If de-platforming genuinely worked, then anti-semitism would have died out by now. But it won't so long as people can form their own communities and recruit under-the-radar.

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • Good general rule. Only exception I can think of is there are a few fruits they'll refrigerate in the back and then often display at room temp, since a few hours at room temp doesn't hurt them much. Apples, oranges, stuff like that.
