  • Oh he is. He very much is, but his hate is more in line with regular Republican hate they are used to. DeSantis’s hate is on another level.

    Also, in DeSantis’s own campaign ads he showed that Trump wasn’t completely anti-LGBTQ. Not like DeSantis.

  • Florida republicans have the unenviable task of choosing between a hate monger fascist and a former president who was fascist. It’s not a good look.

  • A 13-count indictment against Santos was unsealed by the Department of Justice earlier this year for wire frauded, money laundering, theft of public funds, and false statements made to the House of Representatives.

    Just like Rosa Parks, right?

  • He is so unprofessional. I can’t see why anyone would like him.

  • This was a great read and shows that in even ancient societies, people understood that there was more than just a binary.

  • I hate LinkedIn. It is just annoying and stressful. It’s a good place to talk to some recruiters but other than that I don’t use it.

  • The House and Senate can check the court with the President’s support.

    • Justices can be impeached by a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
    • They can have term limits introduced to stop lifetime appointments.
    • They can have the court size shrank, removing some members.
    • They can have the court size increased, making the individual vote count less.
    • They could introduce a rule to require a supermajority in the court to declare a law unconstitutional.
    • Impose new ethics rules for justices (thereby removing the corrupt justice).

    So if we want to peacefully fix the court we need a Congress that can work with the President to do that.

  • The fact that Thomas is still a justice astounds me. It shows the complacency our country has.

  • Yeah, the rest of the instance is a cesspool as well. Dank memes isn’t the worst of it.

  • $18 an hour in expensive as hell New York City and they have the nerve to sue. That’s bold.

  • New York Post says the police are investigating it as a possible drug overdose.

    The teen’s lifeless body was sitting in a chair next to a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, unidentified pills, and drug paraphernalia, the sources said.

  • Well, here is the problem: the right wing has made it their platform to go after certain classes of people. I can debate you all day long about the economy or gun control or taxes. I should not have to debate you on my right to exist and thrive as a citizen.

  • That was a fun read.

  • We had libertarians popular for a while in Michigan. Then they lost popularity. They usually align themselves to the right wing. In practice, they basically tried to block the government from helping the people at all. No school funding. No health care. Private ownership of all the land. No parks, protected lands or sanctuaries. No real environmental protections (so no public protection of the largest freshwater supply in the world, a precious resource), only property owners can sue for pollution, no gun regulations, no helping the poor or any social programs whatsoever, and a stronger state’s rights take on government (so the state can say no to everything too).

    The good parts to me were that they didn’t support drug war policies and they don’t believe in government discrimination against any groups (but the “government” part is important there so I guess that’s not that good).

  • Desantis needs to stop with the culture war bullshit.

  • How can you be gender essentialist and non-binary at the same time? Also, how can you suddenly decide to be a trans woman? These things make no sense. Was she mentally disturbed?

  • As he should call it out. The number of dead is wild in that migrant boat tragedy. 5 people are not better than 500.

  • Sorry, I thought we were in 1970 again. Continue on with your proxy wars and nuclear annihilation threats.
