US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts
  • “When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,” Sotomayor wrote.

  • It even says so in the dissent.

  • What good things are going on with your weekend?
  • Redoing the spark plug wires on my old truck and pulled off the valve covers and cleaned the rust off and painted them.

    They’re looking real pretty now. Excited to get everything put all back together.

  • Appeals court maintains PrEP coverage under Obamacare in win for HIV prevention
  • The person who filed this suit is the type of person that we should all agree is deserving of being bludgeoned to death and thrown in a dumpster.

    I may be being too kind to him though.

    People like this make me wish there actually was a Hell, because he’d most assuredly be there and tortured for eternity if there was.

  • Any lemmies that are politically neutral?
  • Yes , I am. The US right is so batshit that I’ve never found one I could even consider voting for. And most democrats in the US are to the right of my beliefs.

    But I am pretty cenrterist in my policy beliefs.

  • Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth
  • I'm not trying to be an asshole.

    Maybe you'll believe from a sistah

    This is manufactured outrage

    Mhmm. Not trying to be an asshole indeed.

    To the commenter below - No, you didn’t have to explain to this asshole anything. They know what they are doing and saying. Considering how easy it is to block people in lemmy, I’m taking advantage of that right now by blocking them.

  • If it looks like duck and quacks like a duck...
  • I'm a firm believer that if the cast out child burns down the village to feel its warmth, then we ought to be handing out torches! Giving abused children the power to escape and also to break their siblings away from their parents instantly makes outsider kids everywhere a lot more able to take the respect as a human being they should have been getting from the start.

    It’s bold. I like it. I would support a well thought out and designed plan of this nature 100 percent.

  • If it looks like duck and quacks like a duck...
  • Fucking thank you! 👏

    These are child abusers that society turns a damn blind eye to because they claim it’s it’s a part of their religion to be able to abuse their kids this way. Can I have a religion where I get to bullwhip a fundie if I run into one please? Just to restore balance?

    I’m not sure that we have a system that can handle that amount of kids, so I’m not going to advocate for having them just taken away - too many chances for other abusers to take in a whole slew of kids and start abusing them too, but there needs to be some serious consequence for what these shitstains are putting these kids through.

    It definitely needs to be called out as child abuse when overheard and not just sitting by and quietly letting it happen like too many people do.

    And to be clear - I’m not saying all religious people do this. I’m sure there are some very fine religious people out there too. This is about vain people abusing their children for embarrassing them in the name of their religion.

  • lemmy user(ule)s: "this sign won't stop me because i can't read"
  • That’s along the lines of what I expected. I’m always just curious how our brains work, so thank you.

    I always try to find an alternative to the word regardless of the context because it’s not like it’s hard to do and I’d rather not cause that reaction in anyone if possible.

    It sucks that we keep doing the same thing over and over as a society as this is not the first word ruined by being used in the exact same manner as a way to bully and harass and make fun of people.

    You’d think some day we’d learn that we can actually teach people not to be shitty and we don’t have to accept this behavior from people at all.

  • New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors
  • What makes you think people are “forcing” them to do this?

    You’ve now made it absolutely clear that you are just yet another anti-trans bigot who is pretending to want a conversation, but instead is just trying to weasel your abhorrent views into the public discourse.

    You have failed, and everyone here sees through your bullshit.

    You are what is wrong with discourse, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Side note to anyone else reading this: it’s SUPER easy to block people like this on lemmy and there really aren’t as many of these chodes as you’d think - I generally only have to block one or so a month and it makes things a whole lot less contentious once you realize you can just block people who are arguing that their hatred is somehow acceptable.

  • This ridiculousness is from the first Ween concert I had the pleasure of being at. My uncle got arrested (somewhere else) and I kept getting phone calls about it during the show. Also I was high af.

    This was the second Ween concert I attended, Deaner wore a hole in his finger and had to keep replacing his bandaids the second night. Epic show.

    Robin Troyer - I Can't Live Without You

    This entire album (Long Misty Days) is incredible. This is one of my favorite songs from it.

    Hello anyone

    Just created this community as a replacement for r/ween for those of us who are leaving Reddit.

    That’s a picture of a metal boognish a friend got me a couple of years ago. It’s spectacular.
