Give it a minute. Veritas dropped this story a few hours ago.

Overturning RvW, everyone should realize, wouldn't outlaw abortion nationwide. Sorry to break it to you, but it would just throw it back to the states. Most states would still allow abortion under most circumstances.

If the admins would post a way to donate, I'd contribute, but they are apparently too worried about getting doxxed.

You are being a drama queen. In no way shape or form is a moderate appointee to the supreme court replacing the farthest left justice going to lead to conservatives being executed en masse. There's a strong possibility that we were a few weeks away from Biden getting this appointment. This was a gift that fell into conservatives' laps. Take it and be happy. You don't win the lotto and then get mad that the prize was only $700k instead of a million.

Haven't heard much about this woman, but if she's just a great, impartial judge who knows the Constitution and holds all laws up to it objectively, then this was an excellent choice. SCOTUS isn't supposed to have Republicans or Democrats. It's supposed to be a group of our best judicial minds dynamically agreeing and disagreeing based entirely on interpretation, partisanship be damned. Maybe some of you want to win by cheating, but I don't. Literally every judge should be a swing voter, or else they aren't using their brains.

No chance they stop college students from protesting for BLM shit. Literally zero chance.

Better yet, literally just ignore it. They have no authority to issue such an edict. Meet up with your friends and have fun. This is the county exec pissing in the wind.

This is so egregious I suspect it might be a deepfake.

So fines are one thing, but I wonder if individual businesses will still be able to mandate masks. In theory they always could. A store can tell you they won't let you in unless you are wearing a beanie hat with a propeller and a pair of Groucho Marx nose glasses if they want.

Unfortunately it appears no one was seriously hurt. I was hoping for at least a broken leg here.

It's not really fair to compare the number of people killed by white supremacists to the number killed by all blacks for any reason. I'm not disagreeing that the problem of violence from white supremacists is vastly exaggerated, but it would be a better comparison to look at the Charleston church shooting and Charlotesville and come up with 10 recent victims of white supremacist violence and then compare that to BLM rioting, which has killed roughly the same number.

Rittenhouse shoots a guy who was clearly about to murder him with a pistol and another guy who had already assaulted him with a blunt object and gets arrested, but with this fucker it's "complicated" and "we don't know the exact circumstances that led to him firing the weapon."

Black privilege, folks. If you have black skin, it's now legal to just straight up murder white people.

Notice how even blacks who actually shoot cops still get arrested without force when they surrender without resisting? Cops shooting people has everything to do with their behavior when arrested and absolutely nothing to do with skin color.

Nothing is going to change until federal officers kick down the door at reddit and twitter HQ and start hauling people out in handcuffs.

You seriously think 100% of Libertarians would pick the Dem as their #2 choice? The majority of them would lean R, and there's a lot more of them than Greens.

And if I'm wrong, then the Republican doesn't deserve to win. The purpose of an election is to survey what the public wants. We should be running elections in a way that accurately captures that, and Republicans should win by being the more attractive candidate to the greater number of people. We don't design election rules around "What gets the Republican elected." We do it around fairness.

What is so complicated about ranking your choices in order and having the election counters throw out the bottom choice and recount? This isn't rocket science. A high schooler doing a civics project could figure it out.

I don't really have a problem with ranked choice voting. It allows people to vote for their preferred candidate while still capturing their practical second choice. The Libertarians always get more votes than the Greens in every presidential election. This would be a net benefit for Republicans most likely.

If Trump were the person they all say he is these people would be inside out, hanging from the rafter of a barn somewhere.

Hint: if you can call your leader a fascist, you are not living under fascism.

Viruses do not work that way. They invade your cell and use its resources to make copies of itself. The cell dies in the process. Nothing about your DNA is fundamentally altered. 99.9999999% of the cells in your body will never even come into contact with any given virus.

Oh my fucking god do we have to be anti-vaxxers to support Trump now? If this is the level of idiocy here then take me back to reddit.

Gene therapy has to be targeted to the individual and requires mol for mol stoichiometric quantities of genetic patching. It costs tens of thousands of dollars. There is no way anything like that is being put in $50 vaccines and mass distributed.
