  • I'm no fan of Cheeto, but who gives a shit what his niece thinks? Especially when it's the same take for a 100th time.

  • Tbf, Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian are all basically the same language with dialectical differences, and Google always defaults to Serbo-Croatian or just Croatian since it's a more well known country.

  • Except they're going to vote for a Republican regardless. It's a bullshit argument used to hand waive away a non-Republican's complicity in furthering the genocide.

  • Before senators-elect and congresspeople-elect can begin exercising their legislative responsibilities, each must present his or her certificate of election and then take the prescribed oath of office in an open session of the Senate/House. The certificate of election, issued by the governor from the incoming member’s state, confirms that the person was duly elected. Affixed with the state’s official seal, it is delivered to the secretary of the Senate/House for official recording.

  • People surprised the politician they elected is doing what he said he'd do.

  • China currently has one of the largest public high speed rail systems and continues to invest in its expansion. This is a complement to that to help establish more reliable trade routes with its neighbors while simultaneously boosting their involvement in those economies and their dependence on China. Much better use of resources than genocide and regional destabilization through war (like some other imperialist nations) if you ask me.

  • Wonderfully written look into the program. The buddy pairing system along with the guaranteed payments was brilliant. Often there is a desire by the public and politicians to just throw money at the problem, but the root of addiction and the cycle of suffering in many cases (though obv not all) is often tied deeply to lack of human connection and support.

    The one thing that stood out and absolutely disgusted me was the bit about IRS garnishing Todd's meager $500 payments for back taxes. Are you telling me that we have the resources to garnish the payments of a homeless 64 year old man but not chase down billionaire fraud and tax dodging? What a fucking disgrace

  • "I don't believe in welfare"

    Ok, cool. So what's your proposal then? What an absolute bell-end

  • Fair point. I can see how it'd be annoying especially when browsing all on a large federated instance like world.

  • China rule...?

  • Re-read their comment again chief.

  • Wonderfully written article. It's been invigorating to see people becoming more aware of the role intersectionality plays in both our oppression and our means of resisting it.

  • Oh look, the media is finally remembering that she's just like all the other shit corpofascists on the stage.

  • How would the new congress sit before certification? Logically they would not be the new congress before certification. We should just get rid of the archaic bullshit and make certification automatic. It's 2023 ffs.

  • And this has to do what with your original comment and assertion?

  • I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm disagreeing with your assertion that courts should care about what the people think. If anything, when the law is ambiguous the courts look at the legislative session notes, speeches, drafts...etc to try and figure out what the original intent was (or throw it back to legislature to rework). I never said it's some kind of rigid holy truth.

  • Not at all. The courts are intended to be neutral arbiters of law itself. Congress is the body that should care about what people think.

  • Andreas is a maniac

  • So wait...are you saying we're supposed to discard this doctor's account because he's a member of Hamas? Wouldn't that mean then that the evidence you shared is untrustworthy and therefore your entire comment is a self-contradiction?
