No the SCOTUS IS predictable and in a bad way.

Op does have the power to post the exact same link that this person did.

Op you can follow Reddit and Lemmy users just the same as on Facebook or Twitter. So by your own definition, Reddit and Lemmy are forms of social media.

Dont give them ideas.

This is my cat Cygnus. I named him after Cygnus x-1 which is thought to be a black hole. He's a very very smart cat. He does tricks eg. shake, opens doors etc.

Any lunar dust that they made contact with would have found its way into the lunar module for them to breathe in and be exposed to.

Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren't great for your lungs.

Hummus is pretty cheap if you make it yourself.

Chickpeas, oil, tahini or peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice and some sort of hot pepper powder if you like it spicy.

Yakitori, tom yum soup, chicken skewers, sushi, exotic fruit, foreign snacks eg. biltong, ukrainian candy, japanese gummies

Our dishwasher leaks and we dont have the money to fix or replace it. So its all manual washing dishes... when the last bowl, plate and utensil is gone.

Has anyone in a position of authority ever faced consequences for this? Because in Cannon's case, you'd have to prove that she didn't have a legitimate reason to do what she did and that it rose to the level of an ethics violation deserving of punishment. Which we can infer given the obvious conflict of interest but if that was enough to punish her it would have probably happened by now. And the standard for evidence required to punish a judge like that is reasonably high.

Civil trial consequences are always only monetary - you can't go to prison for a civil case. That's part of why civil cases get away with having a much lower standard of evidence

Which is exactly why I mentioned it. He has never faced consequences from criminal charges, only civil court.

You'll notice he started hawking Bibles almost immediately afterward, likely because he needs more liquid funding in the short term.

He would have done that regardless of whether he "needed" funds or not. Like most obscenely rich people, there is no such thing as "enough" wealth.

I believe he's been fined for it several times now, but the fine is set by law and is an amount that's a pittance to Trump.

Which doesn't really contradict my point that he effectively hasn't faced any real consequences.

you've still got to figure out how to work his Secret Service detail into the picture.

He's a criminal. He shouldn't be afforded the same security detail as his predecessors that weren't. We don't "have to" do anything. It was just decided as a society that this man, and others like him, should be given privileges that others don't have.

And also the protests from his cult if/when that happens.

This should never ever ever factor into what his punishment is. A functioning society needs a justice system that doesn't cave to mobs.

Everything about this is abhorrant.

Id love to be wrong here but Trump has been impeached twice (which did jack shit because the republicans in the senate would have had to help convict him) and the only real consequences for what hes done were in civil trials and even that was monetary. They didnt even make him pay the bail bond he was initially "required" to pay. He's been threatened with consequences for contempt of court over a dozen times now.

Unfortunately the best predictor of the future is the past and the past hasnt laid a hand on him.

Pirate sea shanty being sung in the background as pirates break the DRM and have a better experience than people that actually paid for the game

Just because the company you work for is making bank doesn't mean they won't fire you at the drop of a hat if they think they can make more by doing it.

Just because something is supposed to happen does not mean that it will. By all rights Trump should have been kicked out of office and be sitting in jail right now but he isnt. Just like Nixon and a whole cadre of others that slithered away without facing any real consequences.

Cannon was appointed by Trump and people are surprised that this happened
