In any other job, this would be a slam dunk sexual harassment suit, right?

I touched on one of my pet theories as well; the Constitution was written assuming dueling would be a safety valve. Holding office was originally limited to land-holding men, so the high class. They were mostly the only ones that did dueling back then. It was technically illegal, but it was a law for the common folks. At the time dueling was often done with pistols, which was paradoxically safer than swords. A duel with a sword always ended with blood. A pistol duel could end with both parties missing (often intentionally) and be considered a finished matter. Both parties would agree to a compromise that preserved the honor of each.

It sounds insane, but I suggest bringing back dueling. Just for federal elected officials though. Just the threat of a duel would make the assholes who take office just to enrich themselves run for the hills. They would never actually put their own ass on the line. You would actually have to believe in something enough to die for it to take office.

No system of rules or laws can fully account for people acting in bad faith.

I think the founding fathers counted on social shame to limit bad faith actors in government. A dishonorable person used to become a social pariah and might even get killed in a duel back in the 18th century. People wouldn’t associate with them, sign a contract with them, or lend them money. But now?

Being in a functional union was nice while it lasted.

I recently got a Kia Niro and it has buttons on the wheel for most of the basic functions of the touch screen. Really handy

Someone was joking that it would ruin all the 47 Trump merch they had been made. Would be funny

Guns.

If they are banned, then they won’t be in common use, so it would be constitutional.

If you think my logic is flawed then you understand exactly why the supreme Court’s ruling is flawed.

I figured ice would be too rough on tidal systems.

The one core reason is that 73 million Americans are vile ignorant pieces of human garbage.

Solar is more efficient in the cold even if the sunlight is less intense. Wind power is probably a good option too provided they can solve the icing problem.

Myspace is still online.

Let’s hope they don’t decide it’s too hard to depart people and just start shooting them.

I worked with a Mexican Trump supporter. He hated illegal immigrants because he immigrated legally and he was pissed they got away with it the “easy way”.

Convict him, lock him up, and tell Vance “If you leave him there you get to be the president.”

“But it’s against the law!” he exclaimed as the firing squad raised their rifles…

Fuck that. Crank that shit into high gear. Put him in jail and tell Vance “If you let him rot in there, you get to be president”.

Think outside the box.

You don’t win against someone who is cheating by playing fair.

Enjoy the self-satisfaction of having taken the high road while the concentration camps get built.
