If you could experience one historical event firsthand, which would it be and why?
  • Julius Caesar declaring himself an emperor, the celebration and seeing the man that essentially turned rome from a powerful republic to the most powerful empire with a military that dominated majority of europe.

  • Arabs put to vote a UN resolution demanding an immediate Gaza cease-fire, knowing US will veto it
  • UN general assembly majority vote, but security council, the permanent members all need to agree as even one nay is a veto.

  • Supreme Court to consider whether Trump can be removed from primary ballot
  • Why is no one mentioning, that under the 14th amendment, there is literally no statement on whether or not its state or congress power. All it says is they just become ineligible when they committed the insurrection. The only power given to congress is, you can override it and allow them to run again. Supreme Court seems to ignore the entire wording, if they agree that trump committed the insurrection is factual, than he should be ineligible per the wording.

    The wording is similar to criminal law rather than amendment, be a politician who decides to rebel or commit an insurrection than no more politics for you. This was also written to make sure no one in the confederacy to run in politics, and if that's the case than its also the case that trump cannot run, as its automatically applied.

  • Raskin suggests Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from Trump 14th Amendment decision
  • Yep, its accurate and also trump is gonna provide Clarence a gift, of a trip to on his yacht or a bunch of money. Clarence Thomas loves to get gifts that will not at all influence his decision, as if he is very much not at all corrupt.

  • Books removed from Texas plantation for being too focused on slavery
  • That woman is a fucking asshole, censuring the brutality on slavery of the plantation that had majority of the history there. She definitely wants to glorify slavery to be good and wants it back as there is no someone believes this unless she is trying to change it was acceptable to own people at time and that people should own slaves again. She should have her channel remove for misinformation. At the time slavery was brutal, and was not socially acceptable to some at the time as some of the founding father wanted to end slavery in america even though they were hypocrites some wanted to end slavery.

  • What are some happy endings that really wasn't all that happy?
  • True, there was many but commodus I think was the stepping stone to the fall as the shithead essentially almost bankrupted rome and caused civil wars since he was so shitty he did not have a kid.

  • Texas Lt. Guv Threatens to Take Biden Off State’s Ballot After Colorado Ruling
  • Also, the big issue is people assume migrants take jobs, they usually take the jobs americans do not want to work as and shows it with the labor force in florida with agriculture, majority I believe work in agriculture.

  • What are some happy endings that really wasn't all that happy?
  • Gladiator, it seemed like in the ending rome may have had hope in survival but Commodus damage became the first stepping stone that led to the fall of the roman empire.

  • What's something that feels illegal to know?
  • You can request your trial to be done by mail, yes this is legal and if you truly want to get out of a speeding ticket or any other tickets or fine. Just do it the trial by mail and always postpone it for a greater chance of the officer just letting you win it. The source for all my information is from a lawyer, also check your local laws or state laws about this, thank you maggoty as it depends.

  • A recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leak on TikTok may have come from a Rockstar Games employee's kid
  • The reason for that was because he could not have a pc or access to the internet but an amazon fire stick, is allowed since they do not expect him to use it for other purposes with the browser. Must have found a site that gave him access to a virtual machine or a VPS virtual private server to phish a rockstar games employee and from there access slack and then release footage of it on gtaforums.

  • House Republicans Introduce Bill to Expel Palestinians From the Country
  • Is this not a violation of the 14th amendment at all. What if some of the palestinians were born in america, even if the supreme court is radical, the 14th amendment is so clearly stated, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

    It is clearly written, and they cannot interpret state being only states and not the federal government they must pass an amendment to overturn it, and it is clearly that the last line "Nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws", basicially states you cannot deny an american his right to being equal and does not state, if it is only state law and if they fuck with it, it could unleash all hell as now anyone could have there citizenship taken away by the federal government because of what nation they from.

  • HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price.
  • They still must respond to them since a subpoena is a response, but if you store no logs like Mullvad and the police get a search warrant to find user logs and walks away with nothing shows you the VPN to get for privacy .

  • Apparently Elon scrubbed the Maine shooter’s Twitter account, because Elon was frequently featured in his view history
  • Hey elon musk, look his alt https://twitter.com/RobertC2004180/. Different number but it has one zero instead of two. No way it is not his alt.

  • Medical debt could be barred from ruining your credit score soon
  • For-profit health care system should honestly just eliminated even if it takes millions of job away, it should have never existed. Then fixing a problem with the credit system, where paying off all your credit drop your credit scores. It should increase for that as it tells the bank "Look this person paid it off, and is stable." Instead of "Paid it off, shame on you, we didn't make any money from it."

  • The anti-vaccine movement is on the rise. The White House is at a loss over what to do about it.
  • Nah, it's not that it's that one asshole who decided to write an article about how "Vaccines cause autism." That's how the whole anti-vaxxer movement came to be.

    Is /u/Geert an admin or should I not worry about him.

    So moderators/admins, I am the founder and moderator of c/politics. For context, I hired a moderator who I will not name, but he is controversial with users for his views and demand he be remove. I ignored them and continued with my day, then later I received this message from him.

    !

    Is he impersonating an admin to try to get us to remove the user as I don't see an admin on his name and his account was created 7 days ago. Just asking if you guys heard of him.

    Thanks, yeah just an impersonator trying to get me to remove an important mod.

    Megathread: Supreme Court overturning affirmative action, rejected biden original student loan forgiveness plan and lastly, deals blow to LGBT rights in web designer case.

    This was long overdue, and I should have made it per day when the supreme court did these cases. But oh well, it's all under one megathread. This will be active for a couple of days.
