I would hope a puerto rican candidate would,if so challenged, question the eligibility to serve of every US president before Van Buren

DarkHorse posted:McCain didn't matter because his parents were already American though, right? Doing a little more research, the Canal Zone was a strange beast, especially when it came to citizenship. So much so apparently, Congress passed legislation codifying citizenship for Zoners in 1937. McCain was born in.....1936. This issue cropped up again during the 2008 election, so the Senate passed a resolution specifically recognizing McCain's natural born citizenship and eligibility for the presidency so people would knock it the gently caress off with the citizenship crap. Of course a half dozen years later Trump started up his birther poo poo and well half the country thinks Obama was born in Kenya now.

England really missed their chance to have King George's nephew declare residency in Virginia the night before.

Comedy ruling: Natural-born means those who were pushed out of their momma. If you were delivered via c-section, tough titties.

C-sections didn't become an accepted medical procedure until the 1870's and didn't become widespread until modern C-section techniques were introduced in the 1960's. Therefore, an originalist reading of the constitution precludes the possibility that the founders were referring to induced births when defining "natural-born" in Article II.

Natural-born means non-GMO. Trump should have been disqualified because his morher touched the mutagenic ooze under Manhattan when he was in utero

Papercut posted:The taxes on it are absurd, it's like 25%-40% just for the convenience of walking into a store front. Basically every time you order online, the delivery person gives you their personal contact info so you can just buy from them directly instead of paying the taxes. Speaking as a California Living Weed Enjoyer yeah it's 100% this. Other states are making bank on legal weed sales but Cali is being stupid as gently caress. Why would you pay more for the same leaf? Being able to use your card as a work-around(they basically withdraw money and give you change) is the only convenience.

Well, in NC since there's no specific, comprehensive state law about it the only applicable tax is standard 7.5% sales tax. I assume the same is the case in other states where the federal loophole is being exploited.

PhazonLink posted:is the tax in other states (much) lower? According to this, California is actually in the middle. https://usafacts.org/articles/how-much-revenue-do-states-make-from-marijuana-taxes/ The average is about a 15-20% excise tax (California is 15%) + sometimes an additional state sales tax. It gets as low as 6% (Missouri) and as high as 37% (Washington State). Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Kalli posted:This has happened at a few of Biden's previous stops, but the protesters are getting better organized. In this current one, protesters are taking turns interrupting Biden. (later tweets have each additional person, up to 13). There's no point in even arguing with these people, they know how to reach these disaffected voters (Joe Biden stops helping commit genocide), but they know that won't happen so they pretend to be confused. But it's really, really great that the go-to chant to people protesting a genocide is "FOUR MORE YEARS!!!"

So the insurance desert problem isn't limited to red states on the Gulf coast https://twitter.com/sfstandard/status/1749984121722388934 quote:According to data provided by the California Department of Insurance, the company ranks as the 15th largest active insurer in the state across all of its business lines. CA seems really poorly governed, I wonder if this is a problem in all single-party-dominated states. If the ruling party doesn't feel at risk from the opposition, the party turns inward. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1750250252349669453 The Ohio legislature overrode DeWine's veto, sadly.

A few days ago a post was made on an aviation insider news site setting forth a trail of bureaucratic and procedural failures that led to an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX's door panel falling off mid-flight two weeks ago. The post was made by an anonymous user who was upfront about their lack of credibility, but the post's contents have now been verified by the Seattle Times (without identifying the poster).quote:The fuselage panel that blew off an Alaska Airlines jet earlier this month was removed for repair then reinstalled improperly by Boeing mechanics on the Renton final assembly line, a person familiar with the details of the work told The Seattle Times. quote:However, the details provided about the manufacturing process failures that led to the door plug blowout appear authentic and authoritative. The Seattle Times confirmed with a Renton mechanic and a former 737 MAX production line manager that the whistleblower’s description of how this kind of rework is performed and by whom is accurate. The original post presents an extensive and detailed narrative about how Boeing's complex sign-off and accountability procedures failed to track a basic repair job across overlapping areas of responsibility. It lays ultimate blame at the feet of executives who have ruined the company's culture of safety over the years since it merged with McDonnell-Douglas.

I love him saying there's more poo poo out there. I get the play, he's trying to make it seem like anything else is as manipulated as he claims this is and by mentioning it in advance himself he hopes to make that claim stick. But given that there is not a soul on Earth who believes what he's saying, he literally just revealed there's even worse stuff in the process of, he claims, trying to avoid revealing that stuff.

The insurance commissioner who oversees the system is elected, too. I can't really blame a directly-elected official for refusing insurers' requests to raise rates by 25% or more.

Misunderstood posted:I think there are plenty of well-run Democrat dominated states. New York has similar problems to California so it might be more of a “large state” than “one party” problem. New York only recently managed to break past a faction of conservatives who ran as Democrats and kept enough control in the legislature to block a lot of mainstream party goals. There's also been a stretch of pretty dismal governors.
