So, if this scumbag found liable for $1.5B in damages against the families of school children who were murdered has a right to housing... Why doesn't the down on their luck unhoused person not share the same right?
My best friend's 8-year-old son is dying of cancer and is on chemotherapy. Apparently, the kid got covid this week. He's in the ER because that's what happens when you have a fever when you are on chemo. But for the love of god, how is his family not vigilant about masking? I don't even know how to ask him this it's such an obvious thing that they should be wearing masks. Why hasn't the doctor slapped the s*** out of him for not wearing masks? God I hope the kid's okay--as okay as he can be.
@WarnerCrocker I hear you. The Senate would threshold for conviction would need to be changed, which would require an amendment, I think. Long shot that.
Of course, so would voting to recall SCOTUS Members.
Expanding the Court is easier but doesn't get rid of bad actors. I'd love to see them rotate down to lower courts routinely. 🤷♂️
@WarnerCrocker I'm a wild person who thinks we should normalize impeachment. Clinton should have been impeached and should have been removed.
It's not like a criminal thing. It's just getting fired. Especially for life long appointments that can't face elections we must normalize firing bad actors.
@StillIRise1963 that's a tall order. Fascists by definition reject rationality as a decision making mechanism and replace it with emotionality. Emotions drive them. They use rational thinking to justify their emotions and to justify their vile actions.
And violence. They worship violence.
I'm not sure how to convert them.
In my mind, and maybe I'm wrong here, the best bet is getting the "both sides are the same" types to recognize they're not the same and fascism is an existential threat.
As we're probably making final decisions for my dad very soon i have to admit, I'm not crazy about having to navigate all my parents' Trumper friends and family. I'm not going to say anything to anyone here because this is about helping my parents and I'm grateful for all the help we can get.
But it makes me sick knowing a few of these people would spit on my non binary child's hospital bed before they'd offer the child the support they're offering my mom and dad.
It's disturbing that #Stormy Daniel's testimony about how her rapist raped her is considered prejudicial against her rapist.
I get the legal argument. But I also agree with the prosecution that it shows why #Trump wanted to hide it from voters.
Mostly, though, I hurt for this woman who was clearly assaulted by a serial rapist and her *compelled* testimony is considered a threat to *him* because it's a different crime, a crime that will not be prosecuted.
