Gotta gotta gotta go, true sounds, of a revolution,ā¦
Was in my pyjama and havenāt heard Agnost Front the last 20 years so thanks for reminding me of this song.
āBut Trump said heād magically make eggs cheaper!!!11!!ā
Bought some yesterdayā¦ The box we buy went up 3 dollars since the election.
Nope, the president wakes up every morning and sets the price based on how many times he had to get up in the middle of the night to pee.
Reduced demand. Dead and deported people prefer plain toast for breakfast
If you donāt stand for the rights of others, thereāll be nobody left to stand for yourās - so get standing!
Bet you they try to repeal Loving v. Virginia too. Theyāll āleave it up to the statesā Iām sure, so that them and their rich buddies can keep their partners. Looking at you, Mitch.
I am emptied of all faith in their humanity or good sense.
Why are all basic civil rights not enshrined in laws, but instead resting on brittle law precedents in the US?
Thatās not really an answer to their question. Canada (with the exception of Quebec), also operates on the English Common Law model, but weāve passed specific laws that intentionally codify things like abortion and minority rights. Just recently we added āgender identity and gender expressionā as specific categories on which it is illegal to discriminate.
So, unlike the US where the right to gay marriage is the result of a court case, in Canada gay marriage started out that way, but was then codified in law with the passage of the Civil Marriage Act in 2005. And speaking of English Common Law, the same is true in England, where gay marriage was legally enshrined in 2014.
So itās perfectly valid to ask why the US government has consistently failed to do this.
Because itās all imaginary and I canāt believe people seek comfort in a piece of paper and the concept of rule of law.
A strongman, such as potentially trump but it could be any authoritarian in any country - will just wipe his ass with the constitution and do whatever the fuck he wants. Itās not like the law is going to stop him. Heās a convicted felon and heās still going to be president despite that. And the J6 case (the only one with any real merit, IMO) that they had four years to prosecute is now dropped.
Laws donāt matter. Laws donāt protect you. Laws exist to protect the in group and punish the out group.
I see it as less about punishing the out group and more about controlling them instead.
Privileged people like him will certainly expect there to be workaround and loopholes. Heād just get a marriage cert in a state that allows it. Depend on it.
In the abortion ruling, Thomas listed off a whole bunch of civil rights-related rulings he wanted to revisit. Obergefell (gay marriage) was among them. Loving, however, was conspicuously absent, and thereās a pretty obvious reason why.
Heāll be asked (forced) to step down during this Republicanās Presidentās term, and heāll be replaced by a christian nationalist white dude. And then theyāll overturn Loving v Virginia.
Nah heāll get declared an āHonorary Aryanā so the marriage remains legal.
Then when the 2028 auto-coup happens, heāll get purged like what happened with the Jewish Nazis.
It will be known as the the Night of the Long Knives AR-15s

āLeaving it up to the statesā is how we ended up with gay marriage being legalized federally by the scotusā¦.
Unless that group is Pro-Palestine, then literally every other group can look out for themselves because logic be damned.
