    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    If they rule on that and they rule in favor of letting state legislatures do whatever they want when it comes to elections, the US is over. Such a ruling WILL lead to violence and war. This court NEEDS to be stopped and now. They CAN pack the courts, the filibuster rule isn't set in stone...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I believe the term predates Trump It's simply a class of custom armored SUVs the secret service uses to carry the President and important foreign dignitaries. It's not an official name for the vehicle, more of a nickname. Kinda like the A-10 Thunderbolt Ii being referred to as the warthog.

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    I maintain to this day that if Crystal Skull didn't have the Indiana Jones name attached to it, it would have been regarded as a somewhat cheesy, but enjoyable adventure movie.

    Yup, the storming of the Bastille was symbolic. The people overthrew of the monarchy. Sure, in a couple of year a fanatical wing took over the government and instituted the terror, within two decades, France was ruled by a dictator, but the symbol remains. I don't know enough of the history...

    I'm afraid you're right, or at least one where he realizes he's not up for the job and decides NOT to run in 2024.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    True. I'm simply afraid that AOC could be Hillary 2.0 given how Fox News and it's ilk have treated her since she appeared on the political scene(they've been after her since 2018, she's already one of Fox New's biggest boogeymen and shes ONLY in the House at this point). Granted Hillary's...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Wow, had to look it up, but AOC turns 35 less than one month before the 2024 elections. She could potentially run. Sanders is 80 NOW. He'll be 82 for the next presidential election. I'm not sure he'd be able to run even if he wants to. Problem is even if AOC runs, i'm not sure if she could...

    Yup, remember the French Revolution was immediately followed by the Reign of Terror.

    Not the federal executive branch, STATE governments, which might be even worse, given that the governors of certain states are borderline fascist. There's no federal abortion ban after all(at least not YET). Question is would medical records from state A that supports abortion rights have to...

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    As much as I would have preferred Kevin, I understand why they had to go with J Elvis. Still it was a nice throwback and I'm kinda wondering if he will still have his 'MIGHTY VOICE' at the beginning of Emily's next episode. As far as the movie goes, it reminds me of something that could have...

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Either wasn't a professional grade camera or a very inexperienced cinematographer, possibly both. Not often the cgi effects were better than the actual footage.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Local/state has always been more important than the national elections. It's the state legislators that set district maps, after all. My current state legislature is pretty solidly blue and hopefully, with Hogan unable to run for another term, so will the governorship.(granted, Hogan isn't...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    The ONLY hope is that this can convince enough people to vote dem this November to allow us to keep and possibly increase our hold in the House and Senate. Maybe with larger majority in both houses we could POSSIBLY return to having a justice per circuit the way it was before the civil war...

    Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company

    Goes to show how greedy our current healthcare system is. It means even the PHARMACIES are adding insane markups($9 would be a roughly 100% markup in this case. $130 would result in a markup of over 2700%). The entire system is broken.

    Funny how municipalities were allowed to ban firearms within their borders back in the 19th century, but NOW it's unconstitutional.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Eh, I'll have to disagree with you on that one. If you're gonna go with a voucher program instead of, you know, ACTUALLY FIXING PUBLIC SCHOOLS(maybe not tying school funding to the property taxes collected in a specific school district for a start), it's kinda hard to exclude religious schools...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    More of a reason why vouchers for charter/private schools are a bad idea, not a hard blow to separation of church and state. The real issue is the privatization of public schooling, not the fact that some of these schools happen to be religious.
