@RickiTarr If sexuality is a choice that can be changed, I like to ask homophobes & bigots at what age they chose to be heterosexual

From the arraignment:

"I want to remind you it is a crime to intimidate a witness or retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution, or otherwise obstruct justice. Do you understand these warnings, sir?”

Trump nods yes.

In the history of court cases, how many times has a defendant (conspirator #1) paid the legal fees of a co-defendant (conspirator #3)?

“We have no walls, no doors, no windows – nothing. There is nowhere to live. … there is nothing to breathe, the corpses that are left are rotting. Can you imagine? Phosphorus bombs, mines. And how many chemicals burn in homes! It all stinks. There is nowhere to return,” says 85 year-old Bakhmut resident that left the city a year ago. “This is the second war in my lifetime. I was born in 1938. I am 85 years old. And in my old age I became a homeless person,” she says.

UK Scouts are being moved to hotels in Seoul after an international event in South Korea was hit by extreme heat.

Hundreds have fallen ill at the outdoor World Scout Jamboree, which is attended by more than 40,000 young people from around the world, amid 35C (95F) heat.

The British group of 4,500, the largest in attendance, is moving from a camp site at Saemangeum to Seoul.

The US and Singaporean teams are also pulling their members out of the event.

Somebody on here said the other day that they would accept him "stepping down from politics" as a punishment and said that it worked well in Agnew's case. I have rarely been so mad. Trump is a particularly arrogant criminal who is currently facing 78 charges, and he was found liable for being a rapist (yes, the judge ruled that what he did counts). To NOT have him spend time in prison should have more Americans rioting than the reverse.

A final objection I have to the EC is that each state gets 2 extra electoral votes added for its Senators. Today this really allows those states to Bigfoot populous states when it comes to picking the prez.
The Senate was another compromise/concession to small population & slave states to expand their influence.
Ps - don’t get me started on the Senate—the 60 vote rule, the filibuster, plus whatever IT is that allows just a single Senator like tuberville to hold up all the military promotions.

Pregnant Texans shouldn't have even had to sue to be able to have abortions in life-threatening situations. If you're pregnant anywhere, it should be your choice to carry the pregnancy to term, period. But in 2023, in the state that kicked off the end of Roe v. Wade, it's a relief when a a judge decides that doctors won't be jailed if they help an ill pregnant woman or one carrying a fetus with a fatal anomaly (pending the March 2024 trial on the case).
