I heard it wasn't as bad as it appeared. That students still don't get points for wrong answers on a scientific question but that they can't be additionally penalized for religious reasoning.

If you base a purportedly scientific argument on theological grounds, you should get zero points for that argument. I'm not sure how you could be "additionally" penalized.

Yup. There's no "undo" button.

Now, the situation may fuel legislative and executive movement to undo policies, but as far as those lifetime-term judges? They're set unless they do something worthy of being impeached on their own.

Of course, McConnell doesn't give a rats rear end about any of this, so actual cleanup efforts may vary. Expect this to take decades to resolve, if it ever does.

Yeah, there's no way to structure a government so that it's immune to the leaders of every branch conspiring to allow each other to crime. This is supposed to be prevented by the society and culture surrounding the government holding it accountable and keeping people likely to do that away from office, but America failed to do that.

So many of my brothers and sisters in Christ are absolutely convinced that everyone is out to get them, just because they use their invisible friend to justify bringing vast amounts of cruelty and evil into the world. They'd love to score someone who doesn't believe in The Lord less than zero points, so they assume science teachers want to do the same to them.

It's projection. It's always projection.

Did we decide yet if there will be a separate thread for (tomorrow's) impeachment hearings? I'd vote quietly for here is good enough.

Fallom posted:

Nothing else was actually happening while the hearings were going on so I don’t know why people were complaining about it.
I pm'd ppj with my two cents which basically came down to this...

I think it would be good for those of us trying to catch up from different time zones if there was a separate thread for IV whilst each hearing is live, with someone posting a summary at the end in this thread (either in their own words or a select twitter dump).

I think that would mean those of us who can't mainline each hearing can at least get caught up with the meat fairly quickly.

Trying to go through thirteen hundred plus posts might get exhausting, particularly as they get more rapid fire and what the GOP might term "interesting"... ie damming.

PPJ suggested I might do a summary but I'll be asleep during hearings.

I am very curious to know how many people are legitimately convinced by the argument that the person who was extorted and continues to be extorted is the final say as to whether extortion is happening.

Like I know that lots of idiots are gonna pretend they are convinced, but deep down they have to see how stupid that reasoning is.

Remember when old people just kind of...quieted down and faded away after awhile? I mean, they were still around and mostly pleasant and nice enough to talk to when you saw them (the mean ones you just avoided altogether), but also you didn't really have to listen to anything they had to say or worry about them actively meddling in your life. Boy, that was nice.

Unfortunately, no one alive remembers when Congress wasn't old as dirt



Average age has gone up by about 5 years since 2000 as boomers struggle to keep their greasy hands in the cookie jar. On the other hand, the relative age of congress vs everyone else has actually been declining as we overflow with aging boomers!

Your are going to end up being expelled from south korea. They have had very vocal protests against u.s. troop presence since the 90s, and there is no strict korean military need for american troops anymore, only a political utility.

It really is interesting that you can see (a) the dawn of increasing lifespans and more active twilight years thanks to modern medicine and sanitation following the Civil War and (b) the March of the Boomers beginning with Reagan or so. Plus the dip in the House age during Clinton, though I wonder if that's associated with the Republicans knocking off a bunch of old Blue Dog incumbents in the South.
