  • not taking into account that the Hamas attack itself was a retaliation for years upon years of Israeli attacks.

    Why was Israel attacking the Palestinians? Because the Palestinians were attacking the Israelis, starting with the creation of Israel by the British.

  • I think it's the other way around. Israel put them in a gheto because they literally had no other way to protect their citizens. Now that the Palestinians have found a way around that, they're back to killing the Israelis. And Israel is responding again.

  • But the real issue, to me, is that no one takes an oath specifically to “support” the constitution. If the presidential oath isn’t an example of supporting it, then Article Ii makes no sense at all - why would it even be there?

    I'm sure the righter part of the SC will find a reason :|

  • You can preserve, protect, and defend something you don't support. Debate 101 at even a high school level is learning how to argue the side of an argument that you don't support.

    So while in office, he preserved/protected/defended something he didn't support. He then lead some form of rebellion against it, causing him to be in violation of the spirit of the 14th but not the letter as it's written, so he should still be qualified to serve.

    The Supreme Court would love this wordplay, except, if they actually accept it, they're not just invalidating the spirit of the 14th, but undermining it completely as it would never ever ever be relevant to anyone, ever again. And wouldn't that also be against their oaths to uphold the constitution?

    So most likely Trump will be eligible for re-election because I have no doubt that if they can get away with the Citizens United ruling, they can and will do whatever the hell they want.

  • Yeah, kinda.

    If you need help or support of some sort, and you're black, there are tons of black or African American support groups available. If you're a women, again, there are tons of support groups. Black and a woman? Congrats, you can double dip.

    Now, what's the first pro-white-male group you can think of.

    That's why I think it's not just an individual problem, but a societal one.

  • Battery replacements are generally about as frequent as getting a new transmission or engine. They're rare, expensive, but if you want to pick something up on the used or remanufactured market it's much cheaper. Supposedly the average battery will outlast the life of the car. My EV is only a year old, so I'll have to get back to you on that, but the number I've heard is 10% degradation in 10 years.

  • The last time they installed sidewalks, they were installed between a Target that you can't get to unless you drive, and a commercial area that's about a mile away. I'm not sure what the percentage of people who are going to walk from work to target on their lunch break is, but that's what they did.

    The other sidewalk that they tried to put in, was in front of the township building. Which is between to a horse farm and a forest. I get the "if you build it they will come" mentality, but I don't think it applies for trees and horses.

  • Maybe the only side actually facing genocide.

    For better or worse (probably worse though) the British gave Israel to the jews because they were also facing genocide. So it's not quite as clear cut as you'd like it to be.
