Because Thomas (75) & Alito (73) want to retire, and so long as a Democrat is in the White House they can't. These "impartial" so-called justices are so committed to the GOP's vice-grip on the judiciary that they'll embrace transparent corruption to put Donald Trump back in the White House.

The DEFENSE argued (contrary to evidence) that Grossman was only (!!!) going 52 mph when she killed the two boys. Only 52 miles per hour. In a residential suburb just yards from people's houses. Because this country hates people who don't use cars, and thinks if we get killed it's our own fault

I am mad at myself for allowing myself to be shocked, but I’m legit shocked. It is as appallingly cynical as anything the court has done since Bush V Gore

These folks refuse to admit that Catholics are Christian.

Which just reveals Pence's hypocrisy. The only reason—the ONLY reason—it might be valid to deny a woman's right to control her own body is if a clump of cells has MORE right to it than she does. That doesn't change whenever some right couple's own marriage would be infertile without IVF.

DAY AFTER DAY of PAGE ONE HEADLINES, based on innuendo, illogic, & the word of a guy less credible than Boris Badenov. then… He's about to flee, so the FBI is forced to reveal its mountains of evidence that the whole thing was a joint Russian/GOP disinfo campaign… Two columns on Page A-16.

THANK YOU to BOTH of you! I'd never heard of this essay -- surprising, because it hit the dead center bullseye of the intersection in the Venn Diagram of my interests. (Please note the use of weapons-related imagery and mathematical analysis. Hopefully, this washes off any girl cooties.)

Not the 1st time I've heard ppl in the Romance silo getting excited by a "new" trend or "original" take on a subject that's been a standard trope in science fiction/fantasy for literally decades (if not centuries). (Only now I wonder if the romance folks may have cause to say the same about SF/F.)

On first glance I thought this was a reply within a longer thread. Then, for a moment, I wondered if it's in response to a general conversation happening on social media today. That quickly became my current question: Oh FFS, what disgusting crap did the rapist/insurrectionist/thief say this time?
