House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • I agree with this political stunt to point out the Trump Courts illegitimacy.

    The words of the constitution currently have no value to the Trump Court. They just invented Total Criminal Immunity for official acts, and anything said to a government employee isn't admissible in court. In a country founded on the idea no one is above the law.

    This court is worse than the Dredd Scott court, they'll just rule up is down and any amendment meant to undermine their decision actually affirms it.

    For those arguing that Biden couldn't do the funniest thing ever, I disagree. It truely doesn't matter if they rule it an unofficial act. The purpose of this ruling is to get Trump out of his 34 felonies he's already been convicted of because they used a lot of testimony from administration employees. So as long as that part of the ruling stands, Biden can still get away with anything. How do you convict with no witnesses.

  • I think it started out that way but eventually they took the dinosaur to a museum because they couldn't do it on their own. It was a children's book I probably read 30 years ago.

  • Tripping
  • I remember this book, I don't remember microdosing, but I'm pretty sure the dinosaur hatched from a chicken egg.

  • If you were a Thousandaires host

    The new show on dropout is Thousandaires. Where 4 cast members all get a $1000 each to spend on each other, and new host each week picks a winner.

    My question is, if you were the host of this show, who would you pick as your 4 cast members?

    Undecided voter focus group disappointed in Biden's debate performance
  • Becoming incoherent because of a illness, that doesn't hospitalize you, isn't a great trait for a president.

    We lost to Trump in 2016 because we ignored how relentlessly unpopular Hilary Clinton was, Republicans spent decades smearing her every chance they got.

    Biden just proved their claims about his mental fitness, if we ignore that by calling it optics, we'll lose.

  • I'm concerned too much more salt may lead to salting of land, but I may be worried over nothing.

    I also don't fully trust our ability to predict negative outcomes if it's profitable to ignore them.

  • It's all good. I can see that point, but it's unfortunately a bandaid (semi-short term cooling strategy) on a sucking wound (too much CO2 in the atmosphere), and if I trusted the world powers to continue solving the issue (Atmospheric Carbon Capture) before sepsis set (salting the earth from aeroslizing sea water) in, I'd be less opposed.

  • I never said burn more oil?

    Also I'm not a huge fan of the idea of seeding the atmosphere with salt water, that salt has to come down eventually.

  • It is the Sulfer thing. Sulfer Dioxide was shading the planet and making clouds more reflective, cooling the earth and we're fairly uncertain by how much.

    Even though the article doesn't say it outright, the obvious conclusion is that we should have stopped using fossil fuels decades ago. And even if stop now we don't know how much more warming we'd do without the sulfer dioxide. Which shouldn't be added to the atmosphere because it would kill an outrageous amount of people.

  • Falling Object?
  • I still have not found anything conclusive, still going with my working theory of space junk.

    There was also the devils comet around that time, but unless I'm vastly misunderstanding the descriptions of it, it shouldn't have been in that part of the sky, and it shouldn't be that discernable with the naked eye.

  • Buying a home in the US has never been this hard
  • Sure, but zero costs changed for me, insurance premium was the same, taxes were the same, interest rate was the same (fixed interest loan). And yet somehow they low balled it and now it's my job to fix it.

  • Buying a home in the US has never been this hard
  • I've got Knob and Tube wiring in part of my home, so only the state of Ohio is willing to insure me, and my insurance premiums stayed the same. So at least I have that going for me. My bank still raised my mortgage by 20% because apparently they can't set up an escrow properly and apparently that's my problem now.

  • Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update
  • I recently moved to Linux because windows did the first time setup pop up on me when I needed to use my 5 year old desktop in a time crunch before I was late.

    When I got back, somehow despite me telling windows no to resetting my default browser to edge, my default browser was edge and windows had updated to windows 11.

    Is it possible I misread the dialog because I was in a rush. Sure. It is. But also fuck microsoft.

    Falling Object?

    I have no photos or videos, but I was on Topsail Island on vacation on June 4th around 11pm, where I saw a decently bright moving object erupt with a huge v-shaped tail for atleast 30 seconds. The tail was a faint green color. It fell from the eastern sky into the northeastern sky.

    Google has been particularly unhelpful. Was wondering if you fine folks had any idea. I'm assuming space debris. But I cant find any other reports of anyone seeing it.

    Morehouse College might halt graduation ‘on the spot’ if there are disruptions when President Biden speaks
  • I see where you're at, but everything I mentioned is in the first paragraph of the article. It's not like it's buried.

  • There's far more nuance than the headline suggests. He said he'd stop commencement specifically if the cops came to arrest people. He also asked no one shout down the president.

    He did not request zero protest.
