Jackson will be the pick

Kudos to Breyer stepping aside, his recent commentary led me to believe this day wouldn't come. Pleasantly surprised

If she is gonna piss off both white conservatives, and Umar types, then that is a massive plus for me

Not gonna lie...when I saw her husband:

Messaging is everything, or how to mess up your movement in 1.5 min:

What am I looking at here exactly?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Not gonna lie...when I saw her husband:

Well if she gets confirmed and goes to the White House for the swearing-in ceremony, don't watch

Having her and her husband standing next to Kamala and her husband my just push you to the brink and cause you to do something reckless.

Like donate to the FDMG Academy

This was a embarrassing display from that journalist

Who is she employed at, Fox, Newsmax?

Interestingly, this sounds like a very "Pro Choice" stance.

The Supreme Court is too powerful

It's always been crazy to me how quickly Congress lost the tremendous power granted to them by the Constitution. Only 15 years to Marbury vs. Madison and then only another 25 years before Andrew Jackson takes both houses over his knee.

But as much as I agree with you, I am not nearly smart enough to figure out how to nerf judicial review because...

The Supreme Court's positive reputation in the public seems to me to be built on the back of the actions of the Warren Court, and probably a few other decisions. However, a liberal majority on the court has been rare.

... the significance of the Warren court in advancing civil rights is no small thing. Absent its sweeping rulings, it's quite possible that the current round of attacks wouldn't even be necessary.

While liberal courts have been rare, I think the disregard for stare decisis from the six justices on the right is a real change in the calculus of the Supreme's power. At least, in the past, their power was checked by their own past.

They going wild in Canada. The 29th could be like the 6th...

We’ve found an r/antiwork mod

 

[gry60]

What am I looking at here exactly?

The oldest moderator of r/antiwork.

The sub was originally created by and for people who want to abolish work, but over the last 6 months or so, it became the online rallying point (at least on Reddit) of underpaid and overworked folks. If you've seen articles or heard about the Great Resignation, stories to illustrate the phenomenon were often sourced from that subreddit.

Fox News decided to interview someone from there, and the moderator on the screen decided to accept the offer despite widespread disagreement from the community. It was not the first time they were approached for an interview or official statement, and due to the leaderless nature of the sub, participants didn't want to have someone give a public statement on behalf of the members for fear of creating a negative perception of the sub, which is exactly what the moderator has done.

Love and unity but they can't take a vaccine or wear a mask for their fellow Canadian.

Wanna bet Koch is involved?

Yikes this is worst than I expected.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I can't imagine what crazy **** Dr Umar gunna say when Kamala is the democratic nominee.

I'm looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

probably is, they got their hands all over trucking.

I'm pro vaccine but these mandates aren't going to work. you're not going to mandate your way out of the pandemic.

people will just quit and there isn't exactly a long list of people willing to drive cross country. especially across borders.

they asked me at work if I would be willing to help out if we lost people due to a mandate and I said f no, no way in hell I'm working more because of someone who didn't get vaccinated. I'll quit too.

In the interest of balance,

conservatives being super goofy in schools.

Banning an unimpeachable classic like Maus for anthropomorphic mice "nudity"

aka this;

if I were king of the world literally every 5th grader would have to read Maus.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Tell dem progressives in Quebec to torch a couple paperbacks of it. Maybe that will change conservatives minds.

Dr Umar when Kamala wins the nomination:

 

[letsgetit22]

I know a lot of what Dr Umar says is unpopular. But I can't say I totally disagree with his stance on interracial marriage. I take it as a perspective on possible wealth and power being taken out of the black community, not necessarily because he is hateful towards white people.
I also understand why his opinion can be taken negatively.

Well now that you described it…that’s exactly what I expected him and his room to look like.

This is like watching the High school football player bully the monster energy drink and heelys kid.
