Personally, agreed.

That said, if this forces Michigan to alter it's constitution to make the abortion ban stick ... good luck undoing that on a whim.

It was ruled as conflicting with the State constitution, was it not?

If that is the case, that's down to the state's constitution, a product of the legislature, no?

I mean, even "cracker" isn't particularly offensive. Although if you hear it in person, probably best to assess the probability of you getting shanked in the very near future.

"Look, we've learned a lot of lessons after our five previous attempts to convict him, and this time we've fabricated truly compelling evidence!"

Google, though, is the giant. Their propaganda has nearly the same reach as that of the federal government. Their narratives show up in the same places at the same time, and that makes me think they are conjoined.

Think of it as a partnership. The Federal government gets the power of Google, and Google gets to be friends with people who shoot civilians for a living.

Everybody's a winner! Well, except the population, but I think it's safe to say by this point that we're really not concerned about them at all.

Or, if you're a real bastard, go hit somewhere else while they're forting up that bridge.

It is a matter of respect. The EU doesn't respect the people they rule - the ones who will suffer the effects of this - at all.

Once you realise that, it's much easier to see why she's shutting that line of questioning down.

You know what?

Good

It's supposed to be in the hands of the various States. If that is the way this State wants to go, have at it!

If it isn't, I'm more hopeful that they'll suffer electoral consequences at State level that at national.

The US is intended to be a bunch of different states trying a bunch of different things, is it not?

I eagerly await the same court bringing Joe Biden up on the same charges.

... so why the mismatch between the area's prosperity (as indicating by the fact that the house prices are stupid) and the teacher's salary?

Would it not be better to fix that than institute some weird house-your-teacher scheme?

Also, given the way teaching is these days ... yeah, giving a teacher 24-hour-a-day access to children ... no?

It can kind of be the wild west out there, Tony.

If you look at the Wiki list for structural failures and collapses, note how many of the Chinese ones are "Building owner just randomly added shit to a building" - including, in one case, literally added the second half of the building on top of the first - and it had only been designed for the first half.

Don't worry - it's not colonialism when they do it!

Or perhaps:

We have so many rights that everybody is violating somebody's rights!

Sadly, the State, being possessed of limited resources, is only able to prosecute the most egregious opposition offenders.

Yeah, but with them doing their best to reduce everybody to poverty, if you want to get to where they live, you're going to walk.

That seems to be their idea, anyway. Underneath it all, it's fundamentally a return to feudalism. Your role in this little drama they're trying to stage is the benighted peasant. Or, as seems increasingly likely, your role is to die out so that they can import benighted peasantry from other countries.

Yeah, but they're in Canada. They have to dig through three feet of ice to find the lake to lose it in!

Unless the point is to be a very obvious lie that you are nonetheless compelled to agree with.

Think Soviet-era propaganda. They know it's a lie, you know it's a lie, they know you know it's a lie, it's not about that. It's about the state having the "fuck you" power to make you repeat the lie or quietly die in a gulag somewhere.

I believe the correct term is either 'President' - as in Joe 'President' Biden - or President*, as in Joe Biden, 46th President* of the United States.

40 second changeover

I'm surprised a series with as much money as this has to throw at it simply hasn't gone for a second car. That'd allow 'em to just start Car B as Car A comes in and also means they could hammer Car A harder...

They really should stop naming things they want us to hate like they're one of the cool Transformers.

Yup. Legal systems that complex aren't meant to be complied with. They are intended to be broken - by everybody - so that you are beholden to the good graces of the government.

I really do wish that these people weren't so determined to prove Ayn Rand right.

But replacement theory is just a crazy conspiracy, mmmkay?

Honestly, it's getting quite hard to argue against the proposition that the UK government sees it's role as the elimination of the British working class and the replacement of these people with more tractable imports. Were this accidental they'd sometimes not fuck 'em over.
