2/2 final 2 years hobbling them with investigations that document crimes and preserve the record. What develops may require Rs to convict just to save their own skin. Post Trump,we use the record to try them in court. Instead of just wagging our fingers, we expose the whole criminal operation.

I think reporters should spend a couple of news cycles asking all current GOP candidates which cities THEY think Iran should take out. Do they agree with DT that it's LA and San Diego? Or would they prefer maybe Chicago and NY or some other combination? Shouldn't they have a say?

He has committed to the this next term which started last Monday and doesn't end until 2027. But don't expect him to retire then, either. He's been waiting 20 years to have Justices as extremist as he is. He'll die on the bench.

I'm here to say that calling them out also has a price. I am someone who has done it my whole life and I have routinely been called various names for it like co*k blocker, frigid, an array of less polite words for lesbian, a drag, too serious, a man hater, stuck up, full of myself, etc. & so on.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It's no wonder you're confused. NYT Lawsuits Tracker counts more than than 900 cases across various district and appeals courts involving the Trump regime (the vast majority still in active litigation). Trump has lived his entire life this way and the GOP are his most enthusiastic accomplices.

The short version is pretty long, too, but I will try: Berry III is a separate federal challenge to the 2022 map itself. Today's ruling AGAIN blocked the Onder attempt to restore the 2025 map, so for now, the 2022 map IS the map. But this newest case, Berry III, argues that the 2022 map is

I'm pretty sure the equivalent would be to call WOMEN dicks, but clearly your language comprehension is as poor as your social skills, so it's not surprising you don't understand that. And sure - if women oppressed men, I WOULD step up. Because I believe in and PRACTICE equality. You should try it.

1.Basic respect is not a "nicety." 2. “Women do it too” is not a defense. 3. No one said “all men.” 4. I don’t need assurance that all women aren’t the same. 5. I also don't need "placating." And finally, I repeat: Women's anatomy is not a metaphor for male deficiency.

Per UC Davis's Roger Bales: 100 miles of paneled canals could save 11,000 households’ worth of water & generate 330 to 14,000 megawatts of electricity. That's enough to power 77,000 to 304,000 households. Shaded canals also have less algae & weed growth, reduce maintenance, & improve water quality.
