Hello! None of what you said changes the fact that if a person applies themselves, builds up their skillset, knowledge, and/or experience, they should be passed up for a job or other opportunity because of some historical injustice that they personally didn't take part in.

There is nothing wrong meritocracy.

The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bill that would effectively ban TikTok from America unless the current owners can sell their stake in the app within the next 6 months. The bill will now go over to the Senate. And if it's passed by the Senate, President Biden has promised that he would sign the bill into law. Just a moment... WWW.POLITICO.COM

Isn't Rodgers some kind of chud? If so, this is great news for Biden, as a Kennedy/Rodgers ticket would potentially siphon votes from Trump to a greater degree than from Biden.

Therapy is helpful. Our own daughter goes to therapy and it's been really good for her. I do think that our niece's particular therapist was a poor fit. I'm not well versed on the laws or policies concerning these things, I'll admit. Quickly looking into it, the state where our niece lives, gender affirming care (including hormone treatments) are available to minors with parental consent. I was just offering an anecdote about a family experience.

My niece was convinced she was a boy after going to therapy, and went as far as legally changing her name to a boy's name. She changed her mind and wanted to be a girl again about a year later, and thankfully didn't take any type of hormones or have any surgeries during that time period.

Aren't most people who live on Crimea ethnic/linguistically Russian? I thought that was one of the reasons why the 2014 invasion of the island was such a cakewalk for Russia.

But how does lowering the bar help anyone? I still think it was shortsighted for us as society to replace equality with equity.

But this isn't a new thing. Fully integrated Americans generally have a negative view of those coming here (illegally or not). 100 years ago, the sentiment towards Italian immigrants was pretty dim, and those new comers were called some pretty vulgar things. 100 years later, the descendants of those Italian immigrants don't want new people coming here, because in their minds, they are undesirable. Today's immigrants from Latin America were yesterday's immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and Russia, among other places.

Nothing wrong with calling someone here illegally, an illegal in my opinion. Especially someone who allegedly murdered someone.

I was raised in the streets

Oh my vapors! A centrist!

Who's bright idea was it that getting rid of algebra would help with equity? lmao

I'll keep my 4% Las Vegas humidity, thank you.

Who knew that another liberal justice would have the balls to outdo Ginsberg in hubris?

This is potentially good for the Democratic candidate though.

Congress has the Constitutional authority to completely takeover federal elections. But they won't, because reasons.

A person doing that would screw over the party they represent. Hypothetically, if they won the election, they would be unable to serve.

I'm not surprised and I'm not even upset. This was the only tenable decision, even if I really wanted him to be ineligible because he is an insurrectionist.

One of the arguments that Trump has put forward is that a President cannot be prosecuted criminally UNLESS they are first impeached and removed from office. The problem with this argument presented by Trump is that it would apply to ALL officers of the United States, not just the President. That would mean that every single person who is subject to the impeachment process would be immune from criminal prosecution unless they were first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. There have been numerous instances of Executive branch officers and judges who have been arrested, tried, and convicted in criminal court.

Turtles hibernate though. Do you want him to emerge from his turtle hole 20 years from and take his leadership position again??

We don't need this place to turn into (more of) a circle jerk. I'd encourage you to keep commenting, even if it means you encounter resistance.

Seriously, this ruling truly is a gift for the Democrats com November.
