Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE were among the 13 countries that joined the United States in rejecting the resolution, which was introduced by Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, and Switzerland. A total of 27 countries supported it.

The resolution notably doesn’t call for the end to the death penalty. It simply condemns its usage in a discriminatory fashion. Besides the implications for people with same-sex orientations, ILGA also notes that when used to punish adultery, the death penalty is disproportionately imposed on women.

The Trump administration has not issued any explanation for the vote, which came just days after President Trump endorsed Roy Moore as the Republican Senate nominee in Alabama. Moore has expressed support for criminalizing homosexuality and when asked whether he supports the biblical punishment of death, he refused to give any clear answer.

Not sure if this is doing the bidding of SA, or if a true believer got their hands on our UN vote decisions. There are links between the Ugandan "kill the gays" law and US fundamentalist figures.

Automation is the only reason American manufacturing is still competitive. If you try to implement a bunch of regulations to stop it, you'll just end up driving companies to offshore it.

You're completely correct. The jobs are gone and never coming back, and in a few decades human workers are gonna be obsolete. Stopping automation is dumb and bad, but letting the 1% get all the benefits while the useless proles starve is also dumb and bad.

If only there was some kind of system that could resolve this dilemma. A system where the means of production were all held in common and increased productivity meant more resources and leisure time for all, instead of forcing vast tracts of the population into under/unemployment while the tiny fraction of owners reap all the benefits. Maybe call it commonism or something?

"It simply condemns its usage in a discriminatory fashion"

The current death row population is over 40% black. Blacks make up less than 15% of the population.

Of people on death row, 75% of them got there for murdering a white person, vs 15% for murdering a black person.

These are actual people actually condemned to be actually executed. Their numbers go up every year.

The article is an International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association push piece. No poo poo they're rightly concerned about LGBT issues, but their blindness to the actual elephant in the room strikes a jawdroppingly sour note.

I'm all for pimp slapping originalist poo poo head judges like the two bit hookers of monied interests they are but at the end of the day that seat was thoroughly and completely stolen.

His votes will be on the record for decades and the hits will just keep coming for the rest of his life span. Pointing out how loving atrocious he is and how wrong everything he stands for might be good for getting your hate boner on but it means zero point gently caress-all unless dems grow a spine and start packing the courts.

WTF are you talking about? The whole reason we're in this mess in the first place is because the Dems went nuclear and confirmed a bunch of circuit and district courts with a simple majority. Now Republicans are doing the same poo poo. Maybe, just maybe, the judiciary shouldn't be partisan?

Don't buy into the "both sides are bad" smoke screen on this particular point. I'll be right there with you on pointing out much of the dumb, bad and wrong bullshit Dems have and will likely continue to do wrong but this is not one of them. You can't blame Democrats for Republicans going bat poo poo insane scorched earth with their approach to governance. Republicans signed this blood oath a long, long time before Democrats confirmed those lower court appointees.

How do you tell if someone is "spamming it to imgur"? Do people actually go to the site and browse or something? That used to be a recipe for finding child porn back when some dude in GBS created a randomized picture viewer...

This isn't a "both sides are equally bad" argument. Dems made a short-sighted structural change to the rules that allowed them to score points and ultimately set them up for failure with Gorsuch. Either way, your whole "should have a spine" statement that you repeat 50 times daily in here is completely wrong in this case, because it's exactly what they did.
