Humans don’t really have structural carbs. I think we’re a salad.

The Appalachian Mountains began forming approximately 1.5 billion years ago. About the same time that sea animals were first evolving bones. The carbon that became the coal under them was deposited approximately 300 million years ago when they formed the central continental divide of the Pangea supercontinent. That was when they were at their highest, estimated to have been about the same height as the modern Alps.

By any reasonable moral system God is unjust in punishing them for eating from the tree. They couldn’t be culpable for their transgression because they didn’t have knowledge of good and evil prior to eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Without that knowledge they were incapable of making an ethical decision. The Garden of Eden, like many of the stories in the old testament isn’t a story of the failure of man, it’s a story of the failure of God.

Ok, here’s the plan. No legislation needed and the courts can’t stop it. Alright, we divide the population of New York City into ten parts. The first part stays in the city to keep New York state. The other nine parts each move to the nine least populated states. We might have to put together some sub plans for the nine states so that we can pick up house seats along with the Senate seats.

No worries, foreign universities and governments are happily trying to outdo each other to hire as many American scientists as possible. That’s not going to be a problem for America in the future right? I mean it’s not like America’s technological advancements since WW2 were frequently dependant on its ability to recruit foreign scientists or anything right?

If they’re under the justification of the US does that mean that they are entitled to the same rights and protections as prisoners still held in the US? Prisoners in the US have a right to be protected from physical and sexual violence, to medical care, they have limited first amendment rights and a right to communicate with their families in most circumstances. Prison overcrowding has been ruled to violate prisoners 8th amendment rights multiple times.

It’s Trump’s secret plan to address student loans. Weaken the dollar until we experience rapid severe devaluation. When the Big Mac hits $1,000 paying off existing loans will be easy for the people lucky enough to still be able to find a job.

I don’t know about the million dollars but the right to film in public and to film public officials while they are doing their jobs is covered by the first amendment’s freedom of the press. It’s gone to SCOTUS multiple times and been upheld and strengthened each time. Not saying that there’s no way this particular SCOTUS would overturn those rulings but it would be a huge deal and seriously negatively affect not individuals but a bunch of major corporations so that at least would probably give them some pause.

There’s also a degree to which conservative media and conservative culture teach their people to act like they are more inline with the mainstream. There’s old stuff that’s been going on forever like using coded language so they talk about an “urban problem” instead of openly saying that black people are the problem or they’ll talk about “New York people” instead of openly saying that Jewish people are the problem. If you haven’t been exposed to that then some of what they’re saying can sound somewhat reasonable.

Then there is the “respect” thing. Conservative parents are big about emphasizing how you say something over what you say. So they’re fine with saying that disabled people should just die as long as it’s not phrased that way. It should sound more like “It’s sad that some people are sick but there are only so many resources and we need to put them where they’re most productive. Hopefully their family can take care of them.” It’s more etiquette than real respect but they make a big deal out of it.

I would like to understand the meaning of Goatse.

Hopefully they can get adult children of undocumented immigrants who were born in the US. They have already had their citizenship recognized but the EO doesn’t say that it’s limited to new births so they should still have standing on the basis that, if taken as written, their citizenship is at risk of being retroactively stripped.

Al Bundy peaked in highschool, never went to college, was a shoe salesman at the mall. Al Bundy had an, at least, three bedroom single family home in a nice neighborhood, supported a family of four plus a dog on his single income, had ample free time to spend with family and friends and to spend on hobbies.

How much personal information is going into the intended use of the tablet? If all you need to do is watch some videos can you take it to a public library or a McDonald’s? Does your Dr’s office have wifi or could you watch it at work?

Winning a majority of the electorial votes is what’s required to be elected president. There is no federal requirement that the electors of the electorial college vote in accordance with the popular vote of the state they represent. If enough fraud is proven that Harris should have one won it doesn’t change the outcome of the electorial vote. According to the laws as they currently are Trump would still be president.

I don’t know how common this sentiment is but I see a major military parade on US soil as an embarrassment. No uninvited foreign troops have set foot in the contiguous US since the Mexican American War ended in 1848. There hasn’t been a military battle in the contiguous US since Wounded Knee in 1890, inasmuch as Wounded Knee was a battle. Part of the privileges that Americans enjoy is that that level of conflict happens elsewhere. Large displays of military power at home deminish us.

NASA is definitely a target. Musk wants to make SpaceX America’s privatized space agency.

but the more time she spends chasing Senate seats and climbing the political ladder, the more dulled that “political outsider” edge gets.

I think it’s possible to serve in Congress and still be considered a political outsider. It’s not easy, the secret seems to be a strong commitment to principles outside of the mainstream but at least a couple of people have done it.

Bernie has been in the legislative branch since 91 and was in state government for a decade before that. Being a political outsider is still part of his appeal. On the other end of the spectrum Ron Paul was first elected to the House in 76 and retired from politics in 2013 without ever having become a political insider.

People don’t revere the framers, they treat our founding mythos similarly to religion. They embrace what they like and what reinforces their beliefs while ignoring things that they find inconvenient. Primarily they ignore that very little was universally agreed upon by our framers and that the Constitution is the result of significant compromise. When someone says, “The framers believed…” they are almost always wrong and actually only framing what they believe in a way that they think gives it more credibility.

Townhalls are a type of political event. They are typically small forum events held in places like town halls or school gyms and involve the politician giving a short speech typically limited to a single issue or current event followed by a longer period where the audience asks the politician questions. It’s not limited to campaigning, legislators often hold these events outside of elections. Theoretically they give the politician the opportunity to hear issues and concerns that their constituents most care about but mostly they are used to drum up support for legislation that the politician already supports.
