@1776Diva is this happening more often? Or, are we just getting move video of it now?

✈️ Nothing like being 30,000 feet in the air while someone decides it's the right moment to have 𝙖𝙣 𝙀𝙋𝙄𝘾 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙩.
What would you do if you were a passenger on that flight? 🧐

@Shashunnn @CasuallyGreg You still don't get it. I gave you your chance, but midwits get muted.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @CasuallyGreg > He attempted to shift the burden of proof.
He didn't, because he didn't state anything. He pointed out the flaws of the statement.
English
One is struck by the habit of brandishing a single goat with wayward horns as ironclad disproof of design, while the intricate order of the cosmos passes without notice. This is not scepticism. It is the quiet triumph of a foregone conclusion. Pathetic.

@Shashunnn @CasuallyGreg The only point of the OP was a fallacy. He attempted to shift the burden of proof.
I got his point, noted where the burden lies, and clarified your misunderstanding of what the goat argument represents.
You still don't get it.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @CasuallyGreg No, I entirely understand the point, you simply missed the point of the OP.
English
@Shashunnn @CasuallyGreg No, it doesn't disprove it either. You're commenting on my reply, but you don't understand the point.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @CasuallyGreg And it was disproved, that's the point.
English
@Shashunnn @CasuallyGreg No, one offered evidence that refutes the design argument.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @CasuallyGreg Okay. But one still tried to disproof and it didn't out to be good.

@ITGuy1959 @HansMahncke @ZiffyKat If they eliminated the district courts, all those judges would be unemployed lawyers.
If they then recreated the district courts, all those new benches would need new judges.
No impeachments required.
English
In no universe was the system of checks and balances envisioned by the founding fathers meant to have a Judiciary that could unilaterally tell the Executive Branch how to operate.
Every federal judge underneath SCOTUS was created by Congress - it’s way past time for Congress to reel all this in.
English
This is grotesque. A Biden “judge” ordered the DOJ to stop investigation a hospital over false diagnoses, mislabeling, billing irregularities, and insurance fraud, claiming there is no legitimate investigative purpose.
In truth, she has no idea whether any of these things are taking place because that is exactly what an investigation is meant to establish, but she doesn’t care because all she cares about is that this hospital is or was engaged in child gender mutilation so it must be protected at all costs.
Brett Shumate@AAGShumate
The Department of Justice filed a brief in the Fourth Circuit defending our ongoing investigations of consumer protection laws in healthcare services. DOJ is committed to enforcing compliance with federal law, both in the transgender space and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@romanhelmetguy "You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive."
That's what people like this think:
English
Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.

@OldTankerPhil @mccaffreyr3 Another weird narrative in lieu of simply applying a personal standard to conduct - which McCaffrey apparently can't do.
But yeah, "child born", "retired military hero", "The Cult" and other stuff you're imagining into my post(s)...
English
Ahhh, you mean the application of UCMJ under severe circumstances, the precedent being serial assault and child born.
Please please attempt to apply this to a retired military hero the way the messiah and his sycophants are already doing. Apply it every retired personnel including Flynn. I want to see The Cult in action.

We have lost our minds to have ceded so much illegitimate power to this dangerous man. Where is Congress?

His name is now on some federal buildings, his signature will soon be on the dollar bill, his face will be on coins and national park passes. And now Trump is putting his own picture on US passports. apnews.com/article/passpo…

what’s something you thought would be a good idea but turned out to be a very bad idea?
English
@ITGuy1959 Her time on the bench with Scalia is apparent, and she once noted she imagines 'Nino sitting on her shoulder' - criticizing her argument.
She still comes to the wrong conclusions, but at least her opinions aren't the word-salad the other two liberals have their clerks crank out.
English
Reminder that Elana Kagan was never a judge before Obama appointed her to SCOTUS.
Her primary background was academia, intermixed with stints in the Clinton Administration (various roles) and the Obama Administration (Solicitor General).
That it she is being revealed as yet another Dem activist in a robe shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Shipwreckedcrew@shipwreckedcrew
So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe. NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats. If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.

@the_jefferymead @RoKhanna Segregation is good when it's a voter map?
English
@RoKhanna So in other words, using race to gerrymander maps is okay as long as it benefits democrats and black people.
English
Although the Supreme Court technically upheld Section II of VRA, it will effectively dilute the voting power of Black Americans.
Trump, Vance, Republican Justices, & Republicans in Congress are undermining multiracial democracy because they fear it.
They will not prevail

@GovPressOffice You guys normally suck at this, but this one gave me a chuckle.

ENJOY! — GOVERNOR GCN

@OldTankerPhil @mccaffreyr3 A closed mind and Title 10, U.S. Code. See also 10 USC 888.
Congress made the law. The President signed it. All this was done in accordance with the Constitution - which McCaffrey swore to support and defend. Apparently it's only when he wants to, or the parts he wants to.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @mccaffreyr3 Lol... a "rule book" that only exists in an ignorant, closed mind.
English
@therealmissjo @GBNEWS "The case" being that there's no "Royal etiquette" that applies in the U.S.
Doesn't matter if it's the President, or Joe six-pack. No bowing required.

English
@OldTankerPhil @mccaffreyr3 That’s quite a narrative you’ve constructed.
This person, who is retired, read the rule book he agreed to. McCaffrey appears to believe it doesn’t apply to him. He’s certainly acting outside the bounds of it.
That’s not sacrifice. That’s selfishness.
English
@KierkegaardLeap @mccaffreyr3 So another person who believes that sacrificing for your country, something he hasn't done, means that once you retire, you have no rights, that you must spend your life as a serf.
