You should always tell your boss if you are going to take a sick day

It was America's Beer Hall Putsch.  Thankfully Donald Trump is an old man, unlike that young Austrian fella. 

Trump will get his day in court:  SCOTUS agrees to hear whether he can be barred from running for office because he's an insurrectionist.

The US Supreme Court said Friday it will review the Colorado Supreme Court’s unprecedented decision removing former President Donald Trump from that state’s ballot.

I owe Matt Groening a large amount of money for all of The Simpsons art I copied as a kid, because I still draw in that art style to this day!

ABSOLUTE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY

You can thank all the brown people for preventing a similar demographic collapse in this nation.

 

EDIT: I’m not joking.

And the problem that many Asian countries like China, Japan, and South Korea have is that they would rather have their nations shrivel away than allow mass migration.  In 2020, China naturalized a whopping 941 people.

They are absolutely going to overturn it because the 14th Amendment has no bearing on a primary vote run by a private organization (the Republican Party).

1. Does SCOTUS have jurisdiction over a primary elections where private organizations pick their candidate? 

2. It would be interesting if SCOTUS rules that he can't be barred from the primary, but can be barred from the general election based on the text of the 14th Amendment.

Obviously giving Russia anything is a mistake, as they basically behave like Germany in the 1930s, and only grow emboldened by any concessions.

IF Ukraine agreed to such concessions, it would have to accompanied by some sort of mutual defense agreement with the US and European allies, as well as a guaranteed path to NATO and EU membership.

Regular "maintenance" might also help reduce the risk of certain diseases like prostate cancer.

U.S. intelligence assesses Ukraine war has cost Russia 315,000 casualties - source | Reuters

A declassified U.S. intelligence report assessed that the Ukraine war has cost Russia 315,000 dead and injured troops, or nearly 90% of the personnel it had when the conflict began, a source familiar with the intelligence said on Tuesday.

 

 

Imagine the US invading Iraq in 2003, and less than two years later 90% of the 500,000 military personnel are casualties.

From Wikipedia on US casualties in Iraq:

Quote

As of July 19, 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,431 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,994 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of the Iraq War.

In less than 2 years Russia suffered nearly 10 times as many combined casualties as the US had in almost 2 decades of fighting and occupation of Iraq.  

She earned it.  She created a market for her entertainment, and people have voluntarily given her money for said entertainment.  Good for her. 

If any country were to put their troops into Ukraine to help take on Russia, it's Poland. The level of hatred that the Poles have towards Russia is next level, it seems. 

The implications of a president having immunity even after they leave office is just insane.  I would hope that the conservatives on the court who are nominally Trump-centric understand that, and if they rule in favor of Trump, it means that Biden (or other Democrats) would also be shielded for life from any sort of prosecution.

I'd care a lot less about this if milk was mostly consumed by adults, but it's generally young children. "Parental choice" shouldn't be a thing when it comes to feeding kids foods that are demonstrably more dangerous than an alternative with no demonstrable upside. There's just no valid reason for this beyond "get the government out of our food" paranoia. It's moronic.

Should sushi made with raw fish be illegal for minors to consume?

Not my cup of tea for sure.  But people should be able to buy and consume it, especially if they are aware of the risks.

We let people eat raw fish all the time.  Some people do the same with other meats and eggs.  Milk should be no different.

I don't think the economy is really that bad. 

 

 

I just think home interest rates are too high. 

Interest rates need to remain high if we hope to see property prices go down.  Even if the interest rates were cut in half today, a $500k home is still unaffordable.  That same home was only $300k or less pre-pandemic.
