Someone ideologically somewhere between his greatest heroes, Stalin and Mao.

You mean 40% of Democrats want to decrease it, while the swing voters she needs to win an election are the most likely to support sending current or greater levels of support.

I have my phone number on my personal website—never had any adverse consequences. In fact, the only two calls I’ve gotten have both been at my work number which isn’t on there somehow. One to ask a genuine question and one to give me 30 bucks in appreciation.

Um, but actual Irish-Americans love eating corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s day. It’s racist to celebrate your heritage? Or just to try things from other people’s cultures?

Yeah, they’re nothing fancy, but that’s their sole purpose. People aren’t carrying around spark plugs unless they’re car thieves.

Because they have special ceramic tools. Windows will always be incredibly easy for thieves to break with no effort, but they’re incredibly hard for people without specialized burglary tools to break.

Note that that hasn’t existed in PHP for years.

Then also split California and Illinois and New York and Georgia and Florida

Nope, during COVID they stopped taking or checking photos. They’ve had to spend the last few months getting everyone to get a new card now.

That’s not how that works. Guardianship is a totally separate concept. To be married, someone would be simultaneously emancipated and legally treated as an adult from thenceforth.

I wasn’t trying to be misleading. I was just to trying to counter what I thought was very misleading language. When someone says a man has “a kid in his home” as an underaged spouse, the scenario that pops into your mind isn’t that it’s a 17-year-old emancipated girl who’s just married her 18-year-old boyfriend, which is essentially the only legal scenario in Florida.

The laws have been restricted a lot in the last few years, so that isn’t really relevant anymore. California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington are the only states without a minimum marriage age.

And I was just talking about Florida like in the article. It is one of the strictest states on child marriage in the country.

California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington are the only states without a minimum marriage age, and Hawaii and Kansas are only states below 16 as the minimum. In any case, it also requires parental consent, judicial approval, and/or emancipation. Florida is one the most strict states in this regard.

Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, all allow 17-year-olds to marry, not really “children”, and most limit it to marrying someone only a 2 or 4 years older and require judicial approval.

In Florida it’s actually illegal if the non-17-year-old is more than two years older.

You have to already get judicial approval to marry, and it’s literally only 17-year-olds being allowed to marry 18- and 19-year-olds. It’s not really “having a kid in your home”.

South Africa is quite close with Iran, so this shouldn’t be too surprising.

The Supreme Court will have to rule whether or not the 14th disqualifies him. We can’t have states disagree on who the president is.

Even $100 billion is nothing compared to the power that comes from controlling a nation state. Just in real estate terms, $100 billion is enough to maybe buy a really small city if no one noticed what you are doing. To control a whole country of land, people, and wealth is incomparable to anything achievable in capitalism.

Not alone. It would have to lose ~3% relative to other states to lose a vote. However, this is just one year and southern states are all gaining people at twice the rate New York is losing them, so theoretically a blue vote could be flipping to a red vote every few years just from the amount of people leaving blue states.

Note that when New York loses Congressional seats, the legislature will presumably gerrymander them such that the Republicans in New York are eliminated, so it shouldn’t affect Congress at all.

Sadly, the Taliban isn’t even the worst. They’re now fighting insurgents from ISIS-K, which is an even more violent and oppressive terrorist group.
