This is me for sure. Would have moved, was looking, but rates shrink my potential pool of houses pretty small and the lack of anyone ELSE moving shrinks it even further. Decided to wait a year and try again.
The committee’s legislation would impose new ethics rules on the court and a process to enforce them, including new standards for transparency around recusals, gifts and potential conflicts of interest. Democrats first pushed the legislation after reports earlier this year that Justice Clarence Thomas participated in luxury vacations and a real estate deal with a top GOP donor — and after Chief Justice John Roberts declined to testify before the committee about the ethics of the court.
The fact that testifying to Congress about their ethics issues is optional is crazy to me. He should have been required and there should be consequences for not doing it.
Reports say that he had a history of violent behavior when he was stationed in Korea. He was meant to fly home due to disciplinary action in a few days before crossing the DMZ into NK
But looking at history of NK and how they treat Americans who enter the country, I hope he said his goodbyes
That would unironically be more humane than a lethal injection. The injection was developed by non-doctors taking their best guess at what they thought would kill reliably and painlessly, but it’s neither. And that’s by necessity, no doctor would ever throw out their entire career by violating their oath as flagrantly as developing a substance with no purpose other than being poison.
Ambassador Xie Feng criticized U.S. curbs on the sale of microchips and chipmaking equipment to China that were imposed last year by the Biden administration. Beijing has described the measure as part of an effort to “contain” China.
“China does not shy away from competition, but the definition of competition by the U.S. side I think is not fair,” Xie said Wednesday at the Aspen Security Forum, a security and foreign policy conference in Aspen, Colorado. “The United States is trying to win by keeping China out,” he said, referring to measures to curb U.S. technology sales to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei over security concerns.

China earlier this month imposed export curbs on two key metals used in computer chips and solar cells, a measure widely seen as retaliation for the U.S. restrictions on microchips. Earlier this year, Beijing restricted sales of products from Micron Inc., the biggest U.S. producer of memory chips.
Bullshit. They want all the money and power, and are simply pissed that their monopoly has been fractured. If Xi hadn’t decided that world domination was a goal for China the nation wouldn’t be in the dire straights it is now.
I'm pretty sure these people were always racist, they just found out there's a bunch of other people being quietly racist who will back up their shitty decisions and then they became more brazen.
A good first step, but we need more than a code update when they're ignoring the code as it currently exists. We need an independent non-partisan office that can and will enforce it, and ideally has the capacity to bring criminal charges to justices in violation.
Yep, exactly. There's an ethics code that Roberts recently published that was a rehash of the non-binding ethics standards that both Thomas and Alioto regularly ignored. This is an update to that code with more oversight in the form of additional required disclosures, but (correct me if I'm wrong - please, I want to be wrong here) I'm not seeing anything about enforcement, or anything about the consequences to a justice for violating these new requirements.
Any non partisan approach will be treated as partisan by the right. I don’t want violence to be the solution to the US issues but it gets harder every day to see any other effective solution.
He doesn’t want ANYONE learning about anything even remotely bad ever happening anywhere in FL or the US ESPECIALLY if it was white people exploiting someone none white.
More to the point I think Ron DeSantis doesn’t want white kids learning about everything that happened to black people or they might grow up vote against racist policies and the candidates that support those racist policies.
@stopthatgirl7 The problem is people just want to get in the way of me and other Trans people from living our lives, it doesn't help they are literally trying to kill us as well as allies around us. Thank you for all the allies that do stand by our side, we are sorry you have to suffer the same pain for standing up for us being ourselves.
If we don’t stand at your side then all we do is lend legitimacy to their side. We are all brothers and sisters in the fight against hate. We fight together and we either win together or die trying because if we don’t win then this world isn’t worth being a part of anyways. ❤️
There are places with great LGBTQ laws, there are places with terrible laws, there are places that kill LGBTQ people. A gay person in a progressive city is probably having a better time than a gay person in the middle east, who has to hide to avoid death. You also probably only notice the more vocal LGBTQ people, there’s probably plenty of people you’ve met that are and you don’t know. People like you ruin it for everyone. You’re not treated differently because you’re cishet, you’re treated differently because you are an asshole.
Not sure what the person you where commenting on said but I agree there is plenty of LGBTQIA+ people that suffer in silence or vocally, I am glad to be who I am and wish to continue being myself. I do not wish upon anyone death nor do I wish them harm. I wish that people would just support people for who they are and live in a more calm peaceful world, but sadly there is hatred and we have to defend our existence to be apart of this world compared to some people.
