Latinos aren’t a monolith. They don’t vote like a monolith. The article gets close to realizing that, but falls short. At the end of the day Latinos vote R for the same reason White people do.
Why do people think this is a good idea? Gaza isn’t large. It can be leveled with traditional artillery fire (and it has domestic manufacturing of artillery shells). Force Israel to abandon precision munitions and Rafa will look like Bahkmut.
People cheated for sure, but if you were married you were simply on the hook for the offspring even if it wasn’t yours.
I’m not saying the law is good, I’m saying it made sense for the time it was passed in. Now that we have genetic testing to confirm paternity or should be repealed.
Or they could have just created the law that said “the child was conceived under wedlock, the husband is on the hook.”
To make someone the father they have to inform them of it. There’s nothing stopping the father from flying the coop once divorced. While the proceedings are in progress, the judge has the right to keep the father to be present. And this was more of a concern when you could disappear and start a new life by moving across town.
Criticism of Israel is one thing, but calling for “Oct 7th every day”, calling for religious war, openly backing not just Palestine but Hamas, saying Hamas I love your rockets isn’t a criticism of Israel, is an endorsement of Hamas.
Nah that bill is pretty bunk and hopefully it gets thrown out super quick. My point is more that the things advocated for in these protests are pretty vile and heartless.
This is Nate Silver, his takes are essentially always more nuanced and data driven than that. I’d expect some random MSNBC/CNN talking head to say that; not Silver.
Isn’t that something he normally admits to (or at least he did back when he was with 538). That the value of the “Horse race” election reporting was essentially nil as long as the percentage of undecided voters was greater than the margin (+error) between the candidates.
It cost Israel more than $1bn to activate its defence systems that intercepted Iran’s massive drone and missile attack overnight, according to a former financial adviser to Israel’s military....
Not just for a sociopath. Anti-air is expensive (table with some options. A patriot cost like $3M/pop. If a missile was going to hit an uninhabited area choosing not to intercept makes sense.
I wrote a simple script in order to help someone in a recent reply from me, to make running Flatpak applications from terminal easier. After that I worked a little bit on it further and now ended up with 2 completely different approaches....
Can we just have flatpak apps added to the system path by default? Like have a directory /usr/local/flatpak/bin and have links to all the executable show up there. Then users can choose to add that to their path if they wish.
Yes & No we killed an American and his American son in Yemen. That made the news. Technically a terrorist is a political opponent; but it not necessarily a correlation here. The “more legitimate” examples are all with varying levels of conspiracy and they tend to be old because of the way information is disseminated. But things like JFK, RFK, MLK Jr., Malcom X, MOVE bombing etc… are all examples of the Hoover Era FBI exercising that power.
And we have rendition as a well known example of extrajudicial torture and murder of US citizens that we know has been used against Innocents in the past.
We need to reapportion the House. And make reapportion something that happens every 10 years with the census. That would fix most of these structural issues with voting.
The 1929 law prevents the total number of Congressmen from changing. Adjusting the number of Congressmen is called reapportionment. What you’re talking about is just redistricting.
Honestly for this crime, he shouldn’t be charged here. It should be done as an impeachment. That’s what a plain reading of the rules implies. And it’s why it’s such a travesty that the Democrats fumbled the second impeachment like they did.
They needed to slow walk the investigation and impeachment process and give it time for Americans to pressure their Republican congressmen to vote to impeach, similar to what happened with the Nixon investigation.
I don’t know, there have been a surprisingly large number of high profile, unexpected Congressional retirements because of Trump. Those same people might have been willing to vote against him in a prolonged impeachment trial.j
I mean you say that, but imagine the case here was more suspect (which it could be) and targeted against a different former President for political reasons. It can’t be that difficult to imagine such a case.
Trump should absolutely be prosecuted for his actions up to and including J6; but the prosecutions need to happen via the impeachment process, not in individual state and federal court rooms.
Which was stupid. They should have continued to impeach because then they could legally bar him from running from office again.
There is no reason why a president should be immune from prosecution for crimes committed during the presidency.
Can you really think of no way to abuse this? Imagine when Biden leaves office if Texas tries to prosecute him for “dereliction of duty” or on whatever Texas’ equivalent of a RICO charge is because his actions “assisted organized crime”. Should they be allowed to?
The impeachment process is the proper way to prosecute crimes committed by the holder of the Presidency while they’re the President. Impeachment is a criminal proceeding.
That particular scenario isn’t a well protected for scenario in the US Constitution. In theory Capitol Police should be able to protect individual senators and congressfolk. But we did see how that broke down on J6.
This however enforces the reality that Trump should have been impeached with earnest when he was the second time (and honestly Congress should have listened to James Comey when he handed them an impeachment for Obstruction of Justice on a silver platter instead of fumbling it).
Which is exactly why they needed to present a fully fleshed out case to the public and to Congress. They needed to give individual Congressmen who voted against Trump the cover politically. As it was there were R Congressmen who are now quitting because of Trump who didn’t vote for his imoeachment who explicitly cited the weakness of the case.
Cut the shit, and just say you want the president to be above the law.
The President is above the law. That’s why the impeachment process exists. That’s why Obama and Bush (and Trump) can’t be prosecuted for spying on every single American citizen. It’s why they can’t be taken to court for manslaughter for the Innocents they kill extrajudicially.
Their decisions have consequences and unless they rise to the level of impeachment their immune from them. That’s how the law is written, that’s how it’s been consistently interpreted.
The ad was released hours after Trump said that he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want....
This is almost the exact playbook that got Abortion unbanned in Ireland (which is heavily Catholic). The average American conservative when polled, is against elective abortions; but they’re generally fine with abortions for medical reasons. And for 20 years the Pro-life crowd has garnered their support by claiming “nobody wants to force women to die in childbirth”. Now that that’s clearly a lie that’s the truth that needs to be pushed. And I believe it will be effective.
I know that, but that message hasn’t been well communicated to the average red voter (likely because of the surprise of the Roe v. Wade overturning).
People are largely against a type of abortion that is almost never used as birth control has gotten so effective. I don’t think the average person realizes that roughly half of all abortions have been for medical reasons and not been elective for a long time and that the total number of abortions have been trending downward for a long time.
Dems need to hammer that message home this election and hopefully ads like this are effective at doing it.
