Park then on the front lawn. Park them in the foyer. I don't care. Also, maybe park them in that Trump golf course in Scotland. Go quarter troops in Trump tower.

My only modification of this would be to change section 1 to guarantee that the president may be prosecuted for breaking a law. Section 1 just is too vague in the same way that vagueness got us into this situation.

Have Biden himself go distribute abortion pills in a state where abortion is currently illegal. There are two ways to respond to this. It can either be used in an inconsequential but still demonstrative purpose and we can vote.

Command a U.S. Army armored regiment to paint their tanks in pride colors and go do donuts on the golf course at Mar-a-Lago.

And possibly, in some select cases, to follow them to their logical conclusion just to demonstrate the damage they do.

Is there a third group for all of the above? Because reading the SCOTUS ruling, I think I might have a head injury. But also, I do believe in option one most of the time.

But at least the Democratic Party is likely to not be completely obstructionist in attempting to pass the reforms our nation desperately needs. This is such a low bar. And I have no faith that a majority of the current politicians will manage to clear it.

Which means that in the face of voter suppression, in the face of nihilism, and potentially in the face of violence, we need to elect politicians who will actually act to safeguard our democracy. And that is not anybody wearing a red tie. It's not even most of the people wearing a blue one either...

And at the same time, there needs to be an official, legal, and constitutional binding statement from Congress in the form of law that no person or office is above the law. And sadly, I don't see that happening before 2024....

The entire court needs to be impeached and removed. The bench's reputation is destroyed, and any remnants of this court will taint any credibility of a future court. There needs to be heavy reform passed through Congress putting limits on the scope of the judiciary's power.

At this point, the Supreme Court has completely lost all credibility. In the last year alone, its reputation has gone from at best a mixed bag to completely worthless. Despite the valiant effort of a small group of people on the court who still somehow have a moral compass...

But I also know that's not going to actually solve the problem. Biden could take this ruling and go drop a hellfire on top of Mar-a-Lago tomorrow, and the court would not overturn this ruling....

I am at a complete loss as to how to react to the last week and a half of Supreme Court decisions. I want to yell. I want to rage. And I really just want to break something... I want President Biden to do something outrageous enough to make the most recent ruling so wrong that it gets reversed....

As much as I don't want to impeach Sotomayor and Kagan, I honestly think you just need to file articles of impeachment against the entire court. Remove all of them, start from scratch. The entire bench is tainted by this court. They all need to go.

As much as I think Biden shouldn't be running for a second term, I am against anything Bill Maher says he's for, on principle. Bill could come out against kicking babies, and I would try to find an argument for kicking babies.

They don't scratch my itch but I'm sure they do something for somebody in much the same way that I don't really like ASMR but obviously tons of other people do. I'm not going to think worse of a creator for doing content that somebody wants even if that somebody isn't me. Within ethics limits ofc.

If somebody's statement reminds me this much of the Warhammer line "innocence proves nothing" they probably need to seriously stop and listen to their own words.

This is the party that unironically thought that the bell of lost souls was a good idea. If they can use Warhammer as a blueprint, there's no telling what else they're going to try to use.

On top of there being better solutions to fix this, warmer houses have adverse outcomes on health: www.who.int/news-room/fa....

The WHO recommends a temperature of 27C/81F for indoor dwellings. If you read the WaPo article you will notice that 89f only showed 11% savings in a year.

You know, companies like Amazon who owns massive data centers that use more power for cooling than most small cities. You know, companies like the one owned by the current owner of the Washington Post.

Also the solution is totally to "just set your AC a few degrees warmer" and not to stop approving new oil and gas projects instead of clean energy solutions like solar, wind, and nuclear. Nope, climate change is absolutely the fault of the average consumer, not the multi billion dollar companies.

Just some more personal responsibility washing from the ghouls over at the Washington post. Because home energy use for AC is totally the problem. Not climate control on mostly empty office buildings, or massive crypto server farms, or cloud infra in general

I find it wild what people are saying about this stuff when we have the actual accounts of people who have been paying and current on their student loan debts for far longer than they should have, and in many cases who have paid far more than they borrowed because of how predatory the system was

I'm not surprised because CISA got absolutely gutted in the last couple of months of the previous administration so the entire recall fiasco may have started and then been finished before they ever got a chance to really do anything. Also, they were probably waiting to get a full preview build.

There is no way the navy, or Marines, should be anywhere near the "straight" side of this spectrum. Anyone who thinks differently: reminder that the submarine service used to be male exclusive and involved sitting at the bottom of the ocean in a metal tube. And well Marines are marines.

Ah yes, the first or (depending on if you count rotary wings) second largest Air Force in the world is very weak. Also the only department that has access to two different methods of ruining people's day on a very large scale. Suck it Navy, Air Force has more nuclear delivery methods than you.
