Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.
Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.
I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.
Serious answer:
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.
I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.
My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.
No, I mean like one of this audience of old people at a youth convention.
Would love if the article included a photo from the convention.
Honestly the last year or so has shown me that the madness is America wasn’t unique to us, we’ve just been ahead of the curve. The elections in Europe this last year have been genuinely scary to watch.
Well I wonder what could be the Gaza that.
I, for one, am eager to ride the next civilization wave. They’ve only gotten better and better.
Funner fact, they won’t let women be lead pastors for men, but they will allow women to be missionaries to other men around the world.
Basically a woman can’t be a pastor to white Christian men, but those other men out there? That’s fine.
Racism is thoroughly baked into their theology and worldview.
You underestimate the effect of feeling like you’re a part of a movement. When you sit in that room, you’re a winner.
Yeah, I think the latter component is what makes this request ludicrous. Everything in Texas is so spread out. It is not a place you can reasonably get around without a car. Mass transit exists, but it’s pretty inefficient in most the cities.
She’s a federal judge and not subject to state oversight. She answers to the federal government.
I wouldn’t feel bad using a pejorative for fascists. Neither do I feel bad using a pejorative for other authoritarians. Their disrespect for human dignity, liberty, and worth disqualifies them for protection against such a minor indignity.
Tankies is fine for anyone on the side of the tanks at Tiananmen Square.
She was on Fox news just a few weeks ago.
Press X to doubt.
My only complaint is that nothing changed after 2020. He was convicted for his crimes committed in 2016 to subvert that election.
This is who he’s always been. His presidency’s only notable feature was its rampant criminality.
2020 was just him raising the stakes for the rest of us.
It used to be, but it now is as well.
Well yeah, but we explicitly modeled much of our government after Rome, so it shouldn’t be shocking that we share their problems.
I think that’s fair. For what it’s worth, I’m not willing to assume it’s political theater anymore. Eventually theater drags the Overton window to the right and becomes a demand of the base and becomes policy.
It’s dangerous regardless as a result.
Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, “lol, snitches get stitches.”
That said, I couldn’t find anything about the informants actually being executed.
