Lots of Christian conservatives have turned away from Trump and have a chance of voting couch over him. Now if there's a chance a gay man might be president it may motivate a lot of people to get up and keep the gay man from being in charge. Nothing motivates voters like fear or hate. The left would have to be 100% behind him and foaming at the mouth to go out and vote, or else it'd be a win for the Rs. That being said, a black woman carries a slightly less chance of that. The racists are already 100% behind trump and motivated to get Mr. Very Fine People on Both Sides back in the oval office.
I'd vote Pete though... I was hoping he'd get the 2020 nomination.
Honestly I believe it's western media. Antisemitism, antizionism, anti-Israel, and anti-Netanyahu are interchangeable in both left and right leaning networks. They are all vastly different and yet conflated as the se in western media and government.
Yeah, but felons can't legally carry a gun, so...
Yes.
Our experts confirm Washington secretly rotated his slaves out of the state, sometimes just sending them over the river to New Jersey, so they couldn’t claim their freedom.
“He actually instructs his secretary to do it in a way that will deceive them, meaning the slaves and the public,” MacLeod said. “So, he doesn't want his actions to become common knowledge because he knows that there are so many abolitionists in the city that it could become a PR disaster for him.”
In 1793, Washington signs the Fugitive Slave Act into law, which helps slaveholders recapture enslaved people who have escaped.

FISA authorizes a specific court to authorize warrants, the FISC, however the article looks directly at the NSAs role who is not affiliated with or charged by FISC, but through warrants and direction of the FBI. The FBI is not very scary since people normally associate them with protection of national interests, so instead the article only mentions who the tasking authority and holder of the warrant actually is. The article uses key terms specifically to get a reaction from a small subset as click bait without even providing accurate information about the topic. It's lazy and uninformative.
I use pihole. It's external to a browser extension and performs the same without the in browser complaints about using an ad blocker.
But he pays people who weren't going to cut down their trees to not cut down their trees so he can have a carbon neutral jet!
(The above sentence is an example of sarcasm.)
The Daily had a great podcast on this. Overturning Chevron shouldn't be on the table, but due to mismanagement of one agency and way over reaching because they were out of money and wanted to expand other programs is the real cause behind this. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the batch. William Bright, one of the men in the lawsuit, ended up having a regulation enforced differently on him that forced him to pay outrageous fees to take an inspector on his fishing boat that he agrees is important oversight, but never had to pay for previously. He filed a complaint and the Koch brothers jumped on this case to fund attorneys to destroy Chevron deference.
Whatever idiot in the National Marine Fisheries Service decided to start charging for this program that's required and has never been charged to the individuals being inspected previously needs to be crucified for this. Killing Chevron deference will have so many far reaching consequences that have been providing safety regulations for the past 40 years are going to go away. It's now going to be up to Congress, who are nowhere near experts on any of these operations or industries, to come up with specific laws that have to be enforced. These idiots don't do their job already, and the expectation that they're suddenly going to do it well is insane.
NSA is a common focus for conspiracy theorists because much of their work is secret, they can't just come out and say "we don't do that" or "we do that" because explaining capabilities helps people avoid those technologies to avoid targeting. Specifically, their mission is foreign intelligence, they can only support domestic warrants on individuals through the FBI using a court system called FISA here in the US. However, because of their ability to purchase metadata about phone calls in bulk so they can gather information about foreign communications, Americans assume it's so they can spy on other Americans. That's the mission of the FBI though... Which people are fine with for some reason.
Meanwhile, FBI does whatever they want in broad daylight while people are busy being paranoid about what the NSA or CIA might be doing in the shadows. Conspiracies just need a grain of truth, and while everyone is looking over one shoulder paranoid about nothing, law enforcement on all levels from city to county to state to federal are all standing right there looking over the other shoulder and no one seems to mind.
Oh, thank you so much. I don't follow the whole Joe Rogan thing so I wasn't familiar with him claiming to be a liberal. I thought he stuck to the conservative/libertarian thing and wasn't trying to convince people he was something else. Thanks! TIL
You know there's a big difference between a liberal and libertarian, right?
Libertarian - an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.
Liberal - a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
I think if you're a right winger who smokes weed, that makes you a libertarian, not a liberal.
There's an article, but the tldr is... In 1906, 51 years after the losers lost, the daughters of the confederacy wanted to remind Black people where their place was.
There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy's 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you're not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you're dead.
EU and the UK both put in privacy protections for their citizens. Neither of those are dictatorships
So... He doesn't care that companies are selling this information, his only concern is who's buying it? Gee, I wonder how many of these companies selling his constituents information is paying for his campaign?
I'm new to the community and thought a little activity on the community couldn't hurt!
I am a pretty large guy (6'2", 240lbs) who's also pushing 50. As much as I'd like to do ultralight, I struggle to keep my base weight around 20lbs because I need large gear and sleeping on the ground is not that sexy for me. Plus... I have a chair because sitting on the ground is about as unsexy as sleeping on the ground is. I started off with a 50+lb pack and have gotten better gear as I've gotten more into backpacking.
I've done the CA section of PCT and now I do section hikes on the AT as I live on the east coast now. My trail name is JoePaca, and if you've seen me at a camp, I'm pretty easy to remember.
I'm happy to give honest opinions on any of the gear in my list, but I'm pretty happy with all of it.
