Looks at the current SCOTUS roster, notices both Alito was appointed to the court in 2006, and Thomas was appointed in 1995 (after a huge sexual harassment fiasco no one seems to ever bring up any more). Finds their records are even worse than the Trump appointments.
Nope, sorry doesn’t line up…
The gross politics of the GOP started with Nixon, and was driven to overtime after they lost power when Clinton took office by Rush Limbaugh, Murdock, and the like. That was the real turning point. Where we are is a progression to the GOP going more and more radical, but the seeds were always there. Honestly, I think Roe stood for so long because they weren’t stupid enough to actually appeal it back then.
I am sure that Biden was being super spiteful and melicious about it and was deliberately lying rather than passing down hearsay from his family he overheard throughout his life /s.
No, wasn’t a good look politically, and I do agree with New Guinea the US should do more to recover our fallen soldiers whose remains are still missing on foreign soil. Glad this conversation can put a spotlight there. But this is a minor gaff, simple as that.
Let him appeal if he’s convicted. If he is initially sentenced to prison, he’s not allowed to post bail and will continue to serve. Hopefully it would take a while to get up to SCOTUS, and he can enjoy wearing orange to match the rest of him for at least that long.
He’s required to be at the criminal trial, so no easy excuse.
With the level of loony of of MAGA, yeah, that’s exactly what someone in his camp would say.
…and this is why half the women in this country don’t have safe access to abortion.
But then they voted with the Democrats to oust McCarthy…
OMG! I’d put money on it. Is there a remind me bot here on Lemmy?
If they could admit true remorse, probably. I’m not Christian though, so that might have something to do with it…
Add to that we have about $1 Billion surplus currently here in NC with so many things that money could help with, not the least in our schools that are at crisis staffing levels…I am sure they will go to vouchers and charter schools instead…
