Worse Than Nothing The Dangerous Fallacy Of Originalism Erwin Chermerinsky

Yeah, right? I mean, when you put it that way, it's almost like they're on equal footing.

I work for a utility here in Florida. The number of people that call me every single day because they can't afford the basics, like cooling, is heartbreaking. Ironically, and also tragically, many of them are the elderly, that live on social security, and continue to vote Republican in this...

This song always reminds me of my grandfather, with me playing around as a kid in his second story apartment. He always had this AM radio station he played, and this song seemed to come on every 10 minutes in the 70's.

The typical evangelical seems simultaneously hell-bent on insisting that Christmas is THEIR holiday, while also insisting that everyone celebrate it THEIR way. Fucking pick one, will ya? Seems to me, they're angling to be personally butt-hurt one way or another, in order to satisfy their need to...

I, like so many others, have heard this claim from time to time. Just like claims of his alleged abuse of certain uppers. Is it true? I don't really know. Could it be? Sure. Frankly, I think his drug use much more likely than the poopy pants scenario. There seems to be a much more indirect...

I very rarely eat fast food, when I do, it's often a McDonald's or Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, or if I'm really squeezed for cash, just regular Cheeseburgers from McDonald's. Once in a while I'll get several supreme hard tacos from Taco Bell, or a double from Wendy's. I have gout, so I have...

I agree with what seems to be the growing consensus. Next Generation, followed by Deep Space 9 for sure. Strange New Worlds is excellent. Picard Season 1 was alright, while season 2 is the only series I didn't finish, and season 3 wasn't bad either.

I fail t see how Trump believing conservatives haven't all dies from embarrassment at this point. I'm embarrassed for them just thinking about it.

While I'm not a fan of human suffering for anyone, even someone as reprehensible as this, one can take value in the idea that death for someone like this is an easy way out. In a way, spending the rest of one's life in prison, wasting their entire existence could also be viewed as appropriate...

Finally, convinced my mom to get her booster today, so I'm pretty happy, and keeping an eye on her in case she feels lousy soon and needs help. She knows she needed the shot, but she was nervous, since my uncle died within 12 hours of his second dose. It was a heart issue he was already having...

I got my booster last week, and I thought that perhaps, because it's a half dose I wouldn't feel as bad as when I got my second shot. That isn't true. It was even worse this time around. If that's the response to a spike protein, I can't imagine how bad one could possibly feel due to covid...

Well, statistically, we won't be able to tell the difference. Remember: the saying goes, “One bad apple can spoil the bunch." This is especially true for law enforcement. The "good ones" as you refer to them now, are simply the observers that keep their mouths shut as their fellow police...

Wait, wait, wait. Kitten? Like in small cat? I thought we were supposed to get...um...is anyone missing a baby, I have some bad news...

CRT is merely a stand-in for anything that doesn't teach the wholesome and unmarred reputation of the United States of America that conservatives have come to expect not just from their own party, but from the rest of the country as well. By God, if they can't get everyone marching in lockstep...
