The Supreme Court upholds a gun control law intended to protect domestic violence victims
  • It's Calvinball. They change how they are making the rules to weed out what they don't like. Don't like Roe? Throw out the 9th amendment. Don't like firearm restrictions? Rewrite how we are supposed to interpret the grammar of the constitution. Don't like other rules? Make up that it has to apply to "history and tradition". It's ruling on top of ruling that are impossible to universally apply meaning they get to remain with all of the power to strike down what they don't like.

  • Justice Department won't prosecute Garland for contempt, says refusal to provide audio wasn't crime
  • President Biden had classified documents when he wasn't president. This is a no no. A special counsel was created to investigate and see if he broke the law (which requires showing a level of intent). The special counsel interviewed Biden and afterwards put out a report and was like "we shouldn't procecute this case, the jury would see him as a forgetful old grandpa" (this is not a real quote).

    Now congressional Republicans want the justice department to release the audio of the interview. They say they want this to find evidence of criminal activity (as if the justice department wasn't doing the same thing?) And Merrick Garland is refusing under the reasoning that it wouldn't serve a purpose, and disclosing information on someone who hasn't committed a crime, you are going to prosecute, is bad. Imagine if the government did that to all people they didn't like, start an investigation, get a bunch of dirt, and then publish it?! It's insane to me IMHO. So then they decide to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress which is the only escalation they have in this position.

  • I’m 43 but everyone at the workplace thinks I’m 25. Is this something I need to change?
  • You need to get some gray hair dye. Apply only a little, where people's hair mostly starts to go grey, and then come in to one of your shifts. When the first person comments on it, act surprised and say "the witches curse was real! She said I would lost 13 years for encroaching on her house in the woods!" This way, you will get even more sympathy for being older. Your youth was stolen from you.
