I thought someone running for political office can’t be arrested or tried for a crime in case they eventually win election (at which point all possible charges are automatically dropped)?

"We the rich] are sick of financing you. You want health care? Befriend a doctor. You want entertainment? Go roll around the mud with your fellow pigs."

This is apparently not a real quote from Musk: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-billionaires-tired/

Plenty to be concerned about, all the more reason it’s important to be factual.

I presume they’re too focused on their big win with how they saved Gaza to worry about anything else…

I was under the impression that JD Vance enjoys the financial support of Peter Thiel et al.?

How Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley funded the sudden rise of JD Vance

OP is asking an interesting and important question. While I don’t claim it as definitive, there was an insightful article written in 2016 that attempted to address the question head on: How Half Of America Lost Its F**king Mind

I searched the link you posted and did not find a single mention of Kamala?

Amazing! Thank you so much for your consideration and reply!!

Hi!

Let me please add to the thanks and kudos for all your efforts developing a truly excellent app!

Two new features I didn’t see elsewhere (my apologies if they were already mentioned or are otherwise off base):

1. ability to search the comments of a post you’re viewing (like “find in page” on a web browser)
2. ability to view the relevant portion of the mod log by clicking on a comment that has been moderated (e.g., deleted)

Thanks again!

Ah. This is all a joke to you. Sorry for having taken you seriously.

May I ask, if someone were to make a gesture indistinguishable from a Nazi salute, what would be necessary to convince you it was, in fact, a Nazi salute?

Your vacuum has been upgraded to an “ultimate machine“!

Interesting. Genuinely, thanks for your reply— I’m beginning to think there’s been some sort of misunderstanding (likely on my part). I definitely was not defending Pug’s comment...

Of course! Increasing genocide is of little consequence compared with suffering people’s judgment. Glad we share priorities

Indeed! The actual consequences of (in)actions are unimportant so long as claimed intentions are pure…

1. Claim to be anti-genocide,
2. Act in a way that increase genocide,
3. Accuse others of being pro-genocide,
4. Revel in moral superiority

Doesn’t vote, gets a lot of genocide instead

Ok, not a downvoter, but I’ll bite. A system with more than one party is more democratic than a system with a single party. Are you asking which of the two major parties in the US is the “second” party, making the US more democratic than if there were a single party? If so, I see why no one is answering. If not, perhaps you could clarify your question?

I’m not sure why you believe this is false? From https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx : “Who decides how many Justices are on the Court?: The Constitution places the power to determine the number of Justices in the hands of Congress. The first Judiciary Act, passed in 1789, set the number of Justices at six, one Chief Justice and five Associates. Over the years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. The Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine and no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred.”
