Nah even if they tried SCOTUS would figure out some way to suddenly narrow it's ruling. And being a good Democrat they'd comply.
You don't make faces at them? If it gets out of hand you could always hold up a sign that says, "gEt GoOd sCrUb!"
There are. I've been to a few. They don't get covered by the media.
I was going to correct you, but yeah I have no doubt it's the next felon model for the Russians too
He was arrested in Pennsylvania, what if was never in New York that night?
That's not quite the reason. The system is setup to vote on individuals. The idea of voting for party is propaganda from the parties. Third party candidates in the modern system tend to fare poorly because the districts have been made unmanageably large and require multi million dollar advertising budgets. Which is money that comes from the party and party endorsed fundraising.
Money. They wouldn't be able to fundraise the money they need to get messages out to people. Then there's the depressingly large number of Americans who vote by party in a system meant for voting by individual. They would lose funding and then get smashed in the elections because nobody knew the party was even there.
Nancy Pelosi does need to retire but she's better than Chuck "Folding Chair" Schumer.
Not just when they lose. If you have a fully successful president that does both terms they also then fuck off to obscurity. They aren't unpopular among their base, they just retire.
Already tripping over themselves to call him a terrorist.
Yup. Yeah he is. This is a disgrace.
What will people do there? The same thing people have done for 10,000 years. Alcohol, sex, and games.
Yup it's time to primary him. This must be a red line, support for genocide is incompatible with democratic values.
If Congress actually removed the guy they could easily get the military to enforce it.
They did the same to an artist. Just say recreation if that's your intent.
That's not how human behavior works...
Someone thinks they're very clever and they aren't.
My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.
Yeah that's true but the English language is known for stealing words.
They can absolutely get their hands on names and add them to the list of people not allowed to cross the border.
Hey, the contractor said this was how they save money. Who cares if it's also torture amiright?

Police Illegally Sell Restricted Weapons; Supplying Crime
These high-powered weapons are only meant for police. How are they ending up in criminals' hands?
A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying and illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., from the Deep South to the Midwest, Northeast and California coast.

Sidebar Rules Are Updated
Several people pointed out that our rules for behavior weren't immediately apparent. While I would say this shouldn't be an issue in a community about posting new communities, I have been proven wrong on multiple occasions. So I have made the list in our sidebar. These are a paraphrasing of Mastodon.World's rules. So there is no functional change. We will continue to use their rules as a master list. But they boil down to being civil. If you don't like something or someone and have no constructive criticism, then you just move on.
I'm going to put changes here as well so people on apps can see them easier.
>The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
>1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.(link)
>A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rule breaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
>B. No illegal content.
>C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
>D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
>E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
Civility in New Communities
Guys I understand there's big stuff going on in the world. This community though is really just about finding other communities. For now, on the theory that people kind of forgot where they were, some temp bans were handed out. I have no pretensions of this being c/news or something. But I also have no pretensions of this being c/news. It is absolutely beyond the pale to post your political broadsides here while people are trying to figure out the best place to have their community. The only way politics is acceptable here is if you're talking about opening or moving a community about politics or because of politics. And it should absolutely remain civil. A simple, "I don't like your ideology", is enough here.
Here we go again.

BEIJING (Reuters) -The United States on Tuesday pressed its call for military communication channels with China and signalled concern over reports that China plans a military training facility in Cuba following Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Beijing over the weekend. Establishing milit...
The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
