I don’t think you’ve fully realized what is going on. The message Trump is sending is “if you do my bidding, there will be no consequences”. The law is now a tool to protect those people Trump wants protected, and a weapon to hurt those Trump wants hurt.

Classic fascism. Buckle up.

I have a golden doodle and he will destroy almost any toy in a few minutes. The only exception is those solid rubbery dog toys, which take him several hours to start chipping away at.

They’re probably fine but if you are really concerned, call a local veterinarian office and ask.

There might be a choking hazard depending on how they break up? A vet would be able to tell you more definitely.

In that case, I agree. There’s no sane reason for weed to be illegal in a country where alcohol is not.

What does this mean? Like, a 10 year old can walk into a grocery store and buy a tomato. Is that what you mean? Or did you mean legalize it like alcohol?

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty confident that you can’t use something with a lower standard of proof as evidence in a trial that requires a higher standard of proof. Civil cases only need to be proven by the standard “a preponderance of evidence”, whereas criminal trials are required to proven “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

It’s probably okay in the other direction, though.

I might be off base, but your comment has the feel of a “gotcha!”. Yeah, America certainly qualifies.

Edit: Perhaps work pointing out that I’m not the first person you replied to.

I don’t understand. Surely they have foods that are vegan besides bread and water, right? Like, some vegetable being served or something?

I was curious and it turns out that the FEC does have regulation regarding public debates.

The part that would be relevant doesn’t seem to apply, though:

c. Criteria for candidate selection.

For all debates, staging organization(s) must use pre-established objective criteria to determine which candidates may participate in a debate. For general election debates, staging organizations(s) shall not use nomination by a particular political party as the sole objective criterion to determine whether to include a candidate in a debate. For debates held prior to a primary election, caucus or convention, staging organizations may restrict candidate participation to candidates seeking the nomination of one party, and need not stage a debate for candidates seeking the nomination of any other political party or independent candidates.

So, I guess there is a law that could be potentionally sued over, but I don’t see how the RNC doesn’t fall within the guidelines. I’m not a lawyer.

As the saying goes: The solution to pollution is dilution.

You should back those things up with more than “because I said so” is what you should do.

I appreciate what you mean but the idea that human rights aren’t granted is just a philosophy, not something that actually matches reality.

That is to say, whether I agree with your premise or not doesn’t change reality at all.

Wait… our national parks are the example you came up with?

What about our system do you think qualifies at “working”?

That’s probably a typo, read the title.

And speaking of this weak ass defense you’ve got going, let’s take it one step higher. Do you think developing countries should use America as the shining example of what to be? Surely there are better countries in the world to strive to emulate than America.

Double check the OPs question.

The whole country is impacted when rights are stripped from anyone. Look at what you’re saying: If some people are living a good life then it can’t be all that bad. Well, Elon Musk is living a pretty swell life so it doesn’t matter how many homeless people die in the street from hunger tonight, right? I know it’s kind of jumping the shark, but your rationale would call America “not that bad” if slavery were still allowed nationally but forbidden, in some states, right?

We should be judged by what those that have allow to happen to those that have not. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Dude you’re not going to get through this with shitty wordplay. They did in fact lose a US constitutional right. This isn’t a debatable statement, it is a fact.

What is your end game here?

It is true that 50% of the population lost this constitutional right.

Dude take 30 seconds and google it. Yes some of these places don’t have exceptions for rape and incest.

Look at you being the *chef’s kiss* perfect example of what I’m talking about. Why should anyone take your word on how great or not great America is when you’re this misinformed.
