    Americans work more hours per year than pretty much any other Western first world worker and yet the problem is Americans are too fucking lazy. Lol shut the fuck up.

    lol these blood thirsty psychopaths execute a journalist and then attack mourners carrying her body. Rabid pit bulls have more decency than this filth.

    It's so comical that some conservatives are so deluded as to actually believe that "originalism" does not provide judges with the same cover to do whatever the fuck they want as any other heuristic for interpreting the US constitution. At this point it would only be mildly surprising to see one of Dinesh D'Souza's "history" books being cited in a majority opinion.

    It's going to be fascinating to see how far they are willing to go, particularly on the state level. They are used to pushing so hard on this issue knowing their options were somewhat limited with Roe. Now that the handcuffs are off, do state elected leaders still battle to out crazy each other to avoid being out-flanked on the right? If that does, at what point in some of these states do their actions become so shocking and offensive to the public of that state that things start to shift where the other party begins to make gains?

    Not really a fan of stuff like this. It's ugly and the family doesn't deserve it. But at the same time, it shouldn't come as a shock when a few flies are attracted to the open sewer that has become our elite public institutions.

    I want to see him hit better but the potential is there. Same with Leon. Both those guys have a ceiling that is in the above average or better range. Then you have Brown with elite stuff and almost ready to be promoted. The IF Valdez who has been destroying AA (nearly 20% BB% and .300 ISO) at 23. This is why, no matter how many publications disagree, the Astros' system is not at the bottom. It may not be the best anymore, but there are still diamonds to be uncovered.

    I was thinking about that - could have essentially a second core formed from Yordan, Tucker, Pena, and potentially Meyers when he returns. Matijevic could also be a solid replacement at 1B for Yuli if he takes another step at the plate. That's five potential above average players to build around.

    The balls are really bad. Though it should help us since we have so many flyball pitchers like JV and Javier.

    You can say this about mostly everything the government does in public view.

    The central contradiction of American conservatism must be the contradiction of their worship of markers and their worship of their evangelical/conservative Catholic God. Whatever you think about the latter, the former produces Big Tech, TikTok, OnlyFans, drugs - an amoral culture of mindless and endless consumption. A totally atomized existence in which nearly all social bonds are only hinderances to further penetration of the market. This fundamental principle of our reality somehow totally eludes them.

    We are talking about elite political actors here - the lowest of the low. Dumpster lice. Malicious lying doesn’t even register among the dizzying heights of their sin.
  13. Starfleet Command
    Yeah, the fugitive slave law angle combined with constant surveillance from your smart phone/apps is going to be a nightmare. The end result is going to be even worse than the pre-Roe regime imo.

    The founding fathers were primarily concerned with keeping theirs. It was a rare battle between the compradors and the imperial core in which the compradors won.

    Here is a proposal for new federal legislation in view of the upcoming abrogation of Roe - all abortions after the first-trimester are illegal. However, given how expensive it is to carry a child to term and to give birth in this country, it's only fair that we move to a publicly funded healthcare system similar to the NHS so that women who are forced to carry their pregnancies to term are not also forced to pay out of pocket for the associated expenses. This new system will be funded by taxing all income over $500K at 90%.

    Who cares if they lied or didn't lie during their confirmation hearings? Even if they said flat out under oath - I would never in a million years vote to overturn Roe - would anything happen to these people. You have to literally fuck children like Hastert to get in any kind of trouble when you are at that level.

    Nixon and Ford were libs.

    It's odd and definitely fitting to these stupid times. This is the way that non-lawyers think of the law - that you can just say some magic words to undo whatever Gordian knot that has been formed in the substance of the opinion/document/whatever.

    I don't know how this will all play out but prosecuting rape victims as felons may end up being the proverbial poisoned chalice. From a practical standpoint, the Republicans were much better off simply abrogating Roe on the ground by killing off providers. Overturning Roe is either setting up for something else (like allowing red states to ignore Obergefell) or this is simply a power move showing how little they care about the ever feeble, meek, mild, and ultimately worthless dems.

    I believe Sack's preferred nomenclature for the poor and homeless is "dumpster lice." Please be considerate.
  21. Starfleet Command
    lmao
  22. Starfleet Command
    It would be a monstrous crime. No different than a mother throwing her newborn into the dumpster. Deep down though, I don't think many people really buy that shit. Not even the Sacks of the world. If they did there would be much more violence directed against providers.
  23. Starfleet Command
    Why would you not throw in jail (if not execute) a woman who has procured an abortion if you believe abortion is murder? I've never understood that position.
  24. Starfleet Command
    I think for most Americans it's not necessarily something criminal but should be limited in some ways. The crazies believe it should be totally unrestricted or punishable by death even in the case of rape and incest. Unfortunately that third group is in power.

    I probably fall into the middle of opinion on abortion, but one thing that is tricky to me about the pro-life position is that if you believe the point at which someone becomes a human being at conception, then how can there be any exceptions to prosecuting the mother-to-be as a murderer except when the woman's life is directly threatened by the pregnancy? Rape could be a mitigating circumstance at sentencing but it could not be an excuse or justification for the act. The only sound position is to jail/execute rape victims who seek abortions. Thus, if you are pro-life but believe in a rape exception, what is it that you actually believe? Some criminal conduct other than murder has been perpetuated by the mother? Exactly what kind?
