Pelosi: Don’t take away our cover for not doing anything to help people and the country!

So they can’t just blame the other people.  Breaking points had a great bit on the Bezos bailout, which received huge bipartisan support.

Seriously, this sounds so much like the U.S. complaining that China is doing all the things we do, but better.  Human right’s abuses?  We only waterboarded a few, shot a few protesters, etc.  “Undermining the world order” means undermining the U.S.’s global supremacy.

I’d like oil prices to keep going up to make electric and mass transit more appealing.  Unfortunatly people just get used to the new prices too quickly.

First is free speech, but this was the right to bare fists, which is pretty close to bare arms?  Besides, courts seem to really like the second amendment more than the first.

Brush your vacuum regularly.

… and the Winds Of Stupidity will create the desired force.

That would make for a perpetual motion machine.  In fact, I think it would be a exponentially increasing output.

What Krystal and Saagar show is that the people in this country really, seriously want some populism.  They’re sick and tired of rich people and corporations getting all they ask for and more, while regular people are given austerity, drug tests for unemployment, etc, etc, etc.

All we have to do is accelerate Louie to very close to the speed of light, admittedly closer than electrons are in the LHC, and shoot him off the Earth.  Depending on that direction, the Earth will go into a higher or lower orbit.  At very close to lightspeed, his mass would increase, possibly a lot.  It would help if he’d eat 40000 pounds of oa…[Read more]

Plus, if Trump did break laws, then did other people in power also break the same laws?  Prosecute them all, or prosecute none. But to apply the law to a single person makes it a partisan witch hunt.

That would be cool.

Limiting speech doesn’t stop or curtail the thing the limit was ostensibly to prevent.  And yeah, “Who gets to define Hate Speech” is really the core question.  It seems like basing a curtailing of rights on some nebulous idea is a really bad idea.  Maybe curtailing rights in the first place is a really bad idea.

… that it would create more problems and terrorists, and perpetuate the conflict.  With the idea of hate speech, I don’t think it was intentional that it would make things worse, but it still *does* make things worse.

It’s just that one has to look at it from her point of view and not the cameras’ points of view.  It’s a matter of rotating one’s frame of reference.

See theater, fire, crowded.  Is it the right thing to do to limit Nazi-like speech in Germany?  Possibly but I kind of don’t think so, for the reasons above.  This country has a history with slavery and racism, so is it right to limit that speech?  Again I don’t think so since doing so ultimately makes it worse.

What about black people saying whi…[Read more]

The “unlawful” part was added as fig leaf to cover that what the US was doing was unlawful.
