To be fair, if Christians actually read their book a lot more of them would stop being Christians.

My issue is with the 40% of the US who have continued to vote Republican for the last 60 years. These horrible policies aren’t new. Yeah swing voters notice the issues but the base continues to vote for harm to others.
I don’t believe intent matters in the case of of the second part of the clause. Looking back when it was written the use case to exclude was to remove war sympathizers. You couldn’t state “the war was bad” and then turn around help out by passing a bill for southern war veterans or pardon war criminals or really anything that made the idea that the acts of rebellion are acceptable. From a government stance you pretty much had to snub anyone for any connection to the rebellion and only interact with them in general populace cases (e.g. pass farm bills that go to all farmers).
The fact Trump has stated that he’d pardon someone at Jan 6th should be pretty obvious on intent but i don’t see it being required since he is aiding and comforting them. He is letting them know they can take whatever quick way out of punishment, affecting their actions in court because he will get them off.
Regardless of how valid her claim is, what always gets me is how anyone can vote Republican when every single bill has this exclusivity or demoralizing action at it’s heart. When was the last time a bill was authored and passed by Reps that was purely benevolent without some secrete tax cut for the rich or killing some other social programs?
It feels like the Mitchell and Webb skit “Are we the baddies?” How can you vote red when their entire agenda is to never make life better for everyone? Do no voters see this issue or do 100% not care?
Honestly i think what will get him is the last part of the clause in section 3.
or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
He has publicly stated that he will pardon the Jan 6 terrorists, paid the lawyers who have already stated their guilt and funded some of their legal cases for their part in the insurrection. He had aided and comforted the terrorists and those plotting the takeover. Doesn’t matter at this point if he was in on the scheme, he was supposed to turn them all in and disassociate from all of them immediately and he didn’t.
Yes, I know. I’m just saying Minnesota “Midwest” is not the same as the rest of the Midwest most of the rest of the Midwest is very similar.
I’m from Wisconsin, family from Michigan as well and traveled there a lot. Went to college in Iowa and dated girls in college who all were from Illinois. Now i live in Minnesota.
One thing i find odd is that Minnesotans don’t do a lot of the Midwest stuff. No midwest goodbyes, no chatting up strangers as if they were your BFF, doing all the obligation events we never want to do but say “o yah we should get together”, etc. The whole Minnesota Nice, aka being passive aggressive, isn’t really that Midwest. Of all the Midwest I’ve lived in, the highest ranking one is definitely the least Midwest in my eyes.
Yeah yeah the standard pedantic response to web services who use ads.
But how about a real response? People want to block ads and still consume content. If you feel the cost is too high then shouldn’t people watch some ads and block others to only “pay what you want.” Everyone seems to want the service for free and then cry that when you don’t pay your get your videos.
Explain how this is different than going to a grocery store and then being pissed they wont let you just walk away with food without paying?
Not sure how an IPFS option would work. I get the bandwidth issue slightly goes away as we’d all kinda share that cost but not really. IPFS isn’t really free storage. Of all media shitty compression video is big and anyone who forgot to tune their torrent upload and accidently seeded something for too long knows you’ll run out of monthly bandwidth allotments very fast.
I’m all for personal freedoms but you’re getting a service you pay no money for and then get pissed that they are getting the money out of you another way. Sound like people being petty.
If it was organized it would be an X drawer for the specific things found in the drawer. To be junk it must not be organized.
I should probably add my drawer to the list.
4 pairs of scissors, one being child size. Box cutter, a screw driver, a multi tool and 3 Ikea allen wrenchs in case we need to tighten a screw with three sides. A yoyo, Coleman candle to get ride of mosquitos and an extra Roku dongle in case someone brings home another TV. The handle to one of the crank open windows that no longer can be tightened down hard enough to open a window. Neon fish bait, a temperature probe for a microwave we no longer own. And 3 walkie talkies with an assortment of batteries including 3 sizes of watch battery.
Bonus points for Culver’s and Casey’s in the same drawer.
I used to work around the pipelines between Rifle and Grand Junction. Ate at her restaurant once. So much of that experience screams armpit.
Think that issue gets resolved quickly as no one really has the power in tenure anymore. If everyone only has a few years a cycle or two of stalemates will eventually lead to both sides having to work together or try and win the entire house.
More like reasonable term limits.
Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.
I think the fact the EU steuggles as much as it does in the near future they would be at best a weaker China. Lots of bodies but sub par military capabilities. The benefit we get in the US is that we’d only need to come in as support and military guidance rather than sending a lot of troops. They will still suck at doing things as it will be military by committee so in cases with countries like Russia they will most likely defer to the US to just run things.

I’ll believe it when i see it. The amount of lost funds from multi millionaires and billionaires would easily pay for the staff required and yet they don’t do it. It has always felt like an intentional act ignoring the wealthy to keep money in the US. Cheat on taxes as long as you keep your business woth us.
Still remember mine, 7 digits long. Now i gotta go install the app and see if i remember my password.
