Carbon offsets? Yes indeed. The easiest, most useless way to reach carbon neutral.

Hey. Shut the fuck up
Yeah, until project 2025 drains those positions of anything but loyalists.
Hi! I’m a real big dumb dumb, cause I never, ya know, studied law. But I sure do know that with SCOTUS decisions, the dissenting should be read as well, to get the proper context of the decision that the opinion won’t state. Sotomayor sums up the majority decision like this, and she’s a damn sight more knowledgeable than I could ever be:
The majority makes three moves that, in effect, completely insulate Presidents from criminal liability. First, the majority creates absolute immunity for the President’s exercise of “core constitutional powers.” Ante, at 6. This holding is unnecessary on the facts of the indictment, and the majority’s attempt to apply it to the facts expands the concept of core powers beyond any recognizable bounds. In any event, it is quickly eclipsed by the second move, which is to create expansive immunity for all “official act[s].” Ante, at 14. Whether described as presumptive or absolute, under the majority’s rule, a President’s use of any official power for any purpose, even the most corrupt, is immune from prosecution. That is just as bad as it sounds, and it is baseless. Finally, the majority declares that evidence con- cerning acts for which the President is immune can play no role in any criminal prosecution against him. See ante, at 30–32. That holding, which will prevent the Government from using a President’s official acts to prove knowledge or intent in prosecuting private offenses, is nonsensical.
You should really read it, it’s such an important read.
PS: Sorry for formatting, it’s copied verbatim from the dissenting pdf
They gave it absolute immunity. That means there is no way to appeal, to argue, to halt, stop, or sue any act by a president. Even arguing whether or not the act is official would be a type of qualified immunity. Meaning that, if you are the office holder of president, everything you do has carte blanche, de facto legality. Sure, some future court could devise a test for this official vs unofficial distinction, but it means nothing for the near future. Biden is now a monarch with no legal method of stopping whatever he wishes to do, so long as it doesn’t explicitly fall outside of the extremely broad powers of the executive as defined by SCOTUS and the constitution. Likewise with any future officer holder.
No. No, it would not. The cooler thing would be to deny SCOTUS in this. Their interpretation of this is far and away the wrong decision. Playing by the new rule only legitimizes it. Pull an Andrew Jackson, deny SCOTUS their ruling and continue as though nothing happened. Same with the end of Chevron deference and Roe.
Yeah, the early primaries really do benefit establishment democrats, and it seemingly painted a damning picture for Bernie. I think if we had synchronized primaries, this benefit would be much smaller and Bernie would’ve had a significant shot.
Human babies ain’t done cooking yet. That’s why they’re totally dependent when they’re born.
…fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Nah, he’s always been a piece of shit.
“Border being overrun” isn’t a thing, just like we don’t have a higher crime rate. Media just loves their stories, regardless of the truth.
Even easier, while the institution of slavery was dissolved, it wasn’t made illegal to own slaves (still isn’t, btw) so you just kept your slaves and if someone asks, you just tell them they’re slaves. You then are asked to let them go, if even that.
That’s not even the ruling, though. The majority opinion states that they don’t have the right to challenge the ruling on behalf of their spouse. That their status as married to a US citizen affords them no right to contest the decision. I highly suggest reading the dissenting.
It’s Marxist-Leninist, the two-stage revolution. Stage one socialist dictatorship, stage two classless society. Communism doesn’t require Marxist-Leninism. In fact, judging by China’s backslide to state-run capitalism, it’s probably not even a feasible way to get to communism. Too much concentrated power, too much opportunity for abuse.
COPD fucking sucks, my dude. Living longer isn’t the goal, living comfortably is and being unable to breathe all the time is the worst.
Worf: Why would I even be considered?
