Thank you for saying this. This fact is missed so often and it's vitally important to understand US politics right now.

I mean yeah, but... No?

Their stories are different. It's like saying that three fan fics by three different authors that use a select few "same characters" actually have the same characters... When they behave in ways that are incompatable with the other fan fics.

That's kinda the problem. That and geography. They all think the same patch of land is super important. And the land around that is important, too.

This is one of the ways that those "same characters (gods) " were incompatible.

When you back away from it all, it's the God of Abram/Abraham. But the details matter to adherents. And the details are quite different.

The us and them created by those stories is essential to understanding this. And the land grabs. And the killings. And the rationale.

He has to be part of an opinion in order for this to work. That opinion stands the test of time best if he can put forth a legal opinion that supports his preferred answer.

"Congress shall"... I wonder if that's part of his thinking.

legally carry a gun

Watch states try to find ways to allow him within their borders.

Arby-tration

There's a fast food restaurant called Arby's that serves those sandwiches.

So does coffee, really (imo). Until the taste is acquired.

Then it's habit forming.

Republicans honor sacrifice by making sure it's big. They'll send you to war and complain about VA costs.

Law and order never meant what many heard.

Law and order keeps people in their place. It's an argument for an old status quo.

It never meant following or enforcing the laws. It's privilege saying it doesn't want to budge.

That, unfortunately, is up to voters and fate (health, decline, etc).

We can have a justice system that dies that too, but we'd have to vote that and it would need to poll over 75% without hypocrisy.

It's the 4 mil we found.

I'm with you on this.

I also expect Putin to not miss any opportunity to destabilize the US. This seems like another vector and he can do it with any kind of votes.

Agree. I have an S23 and I don't want thinner bezels. It's already at the goldilocks spot for me. Thinner wouldn't be better.

Ethical behavior is a thing for SO many reasons. One of them is it tends to keep you on the right side of the law.

The SCOTUS is consistently demonstrating that they are political actors and illegitimate as jurists.

We should pack the court with ethical peoe until the corruption is under 10%. If that means 20 jurists... So be it.

I've had enough and now stare decisis can't be defended. Not when corruption is making decisions AND overriding previous well decided decisions.

Climate displacement is coming. What's the policy when it does?

Have we thought through how that would work?

You need a better hobby.

We're working on it. I try to vote as left as I can (effectively) on any ballot in front of me. Primaries and general.

If we all did this, with high turnout... We're getting the government we vote for.

Have an angry (and admiring) upvote.
