Age is definitely a large factor in the reasoning for his increase in stuttering, but it is not the cause as you claimed it was.

You can see him stutter in this, it's from 1987. You can't hear it, but if you're familiar with stuttering and how people are able to work around their stutter then you can definitely recognize it here. The extra mouth movements before each word are stutters.

Lmfao apparently it's "bootlicking" to point out a criminally online take. I, for one, don't think people should be judged based on circumstances out of their control, like where or when they were born. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the dude, like no really there are so god damn many, but him being born into it is not one of them.

I'm not even saying you shouldn't be pleased to see his death, just that making jokes about the suffering that occurs from cancer is a take so distant from reality of course you'll only see it online. If you are genuinely pleased by hearing about someone's cancer diagnosis, you should really do some self evaluation.

If you think him dying from that will purge the UK of the monarchy, I have a bridge to sell you. There are actual things you could do to help end it, the original comment I replied to isn't one.

You originally said "at the time the 14th Amendment was ratified". But fair enough, I suppose. I understand what you mean.

Ehhhh, not really. This is a pretty common belief about the Hyperloop. A couple of years ago, someone released a book claiming they had private interviews with Musk back in the early 2010's where he admitted to trying to delay HSR. Here's an article explaining it: https://jalopnik.com/did-musk-propose-hyperloop-to-stop-california-high-spee-1849402460

The reason this is not conspiratorial thinking is that automakers have a long history in the US of dismantling, lobbying against, and even physically preventing railways from being developed. Elon Musk, especially at that time, was an automaker making claims in order to directly counter proposed high speed rail.

Yes, it was in California, but the intended reasoning is that if it succeeds in California it may be expanded upon elsewhere, meaning there would be less reliance on cars.

Bro please go outside, go for a walk or something

There's a lot of shit to talk about the gop, that doesn't exactly mean a whole lot

Andrew Jackson was president like 20 years before the civil war my guy. Ulysses S. Grant was president when the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. I'm not really sure how you thought otherwise. Regardless, your other point about his reference to himself as an officer is irrelevant anyways because that's not what determines him to be an officer of the court.

The actual reason is that when the 14th Amendment was being signed, the specific question of "why does it not mention president" was asked nearly verbatim. One of the writers of the Amendment, who I'm forgetting the name of, replied to them by asking them to read over the part where it says "any officer". We know this because we have the minutes from that day, we have the transcription as it was recorded by hand at the time.

A federal court already determined Trump to have engaged in insurrection. By all accounts, he should be barred from running.

I'm sorry homie but VR is going nowhere. No one outside of a small, niche community even cares about it anymore.

No need for whataboutism here, the original statement you're replying to is already demonstrably false. You can easily address their actual argument.

Lmfao. Why? Do you have any reason to distrust NPR?

It is mostly because of this. I highly suggest looking into it. Project 2025 is the public plan conservatives have for if Republicans win this year, it's not some rumor or underground information.

Ah yes, it's the democrats fault. Holy shit can you have a good faith argument for fucking once.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

Most of the plan relies on Trump also having a Republican House and Senate, which is likely for the former due to the immense gerrymandering that occurred in 2020.

Project 2025 is by far the most dangerous thing about the elections this year. It is so much worse than any other problem happening today.

In what court case?

Selling and giving are absolutely different, regardless of where the money comes from. I see what you mean, in that it is effectively giving, but that's just now how the law works. It should, I think Biden shouldn't even be able to override Congress in this regard, but that's just how it is. Congress can change that at any time.

The situation in Gaza is gray for many people, it's not easy to claim it's objectively defense or offense without proving it in court. I'm not trying to debate the morality of this context, I'm saying that Biden did not circumvent Congress.

It's really getting old seeing Biden defenders act like trump supporters

Bruh come on, you know that's a bad faith ad hominem. Someone isn't acting like a trump supporter because they call out a blatantly false argument lmfao. If anything, it's the other way around, attacking a person by baselessly comparing them to the other political side.

Okay, that's fine, but what do you mean? Do you have examples of when she voted against "the people"?

I put the quotation marks because I'm not sure which people you're referring to.

You would be absolutely correct if Biden gave weapons to Israel or if the narrative the White House pushes wasn't that Israel is defending itself.

I don't think that Israel is defending itself, I think that it's intentionally trying to commit genocide, but the law doesn't explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense. Claiming Biden circumvented Congress is inaccurate, as the President has had the sole authority to do this since the '70s. Biden, like the other commenter said, isn't that type of President. Trump would have actually circumvented Congress by straight up giving stuff to Israel, rather than merely authorizing a sale.

To be clear, I don't like that Biden did that either.

"But my narrative!"

What are you even trying to say
