Koalas March posted:Actually iirc, it was an analogue to civil rights with Professor X being the MLK figure and Magneto being his Malcolm X. It has evolved over time with the country and social justice issues, so you're not wrong but I think it's problematic to leave out the impact the civil rights movement had. Garland won't withdraw because he wants to be a justice, obviously.

How do you think Clinton will deal with the speech transcripts? I know this thread isn't worried about them but I think they're really and. If Trump hadn't chosen Friday to melt down I think it would be a real problem, and it still might.

paranoid randroid posted:the Ecuadorian ambassador timidly knocks at the linen closet door and asks if Julian could maybe stop screaming "kikes!" into his headset at 3am The Ecuadorian ambassador doesn't live at the embassy because he is a real person with a real job. Assange does live there because otherwise, I remind you, he would be arrested by British authorities in connection with pending sexual assault charges he faces in Sweden.

Maybe we could talk about politics instead of arguing about abortion? Maybe we could talk about Trump's statements today? I think they'll be enough to persuade republicans not to make a fuss and will generally prevent last night from hurting him much.

FactsAreUseless posted:A D&D mod can correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I legit don't think it is. I think it's a general U.S. politics thread. It just becomes about elections because our elections are six years long every four years. I guess then we should have an election thread for people who want to read about and discuss election news and don't have any interest in hearing crowbeak's retrograde social views?

Mel Mudkiper posted:The biggest issue is that health care as profit-incentivized will never be ideal Yes. But ordinarily management has absolutely enormous latitude in deciding what is in the shareholder's interest. Also, they may have some responsibility to other constituencies also. quote:If a company can profit by cutting off care to the chronically ill, they are under enormous pressure to do so even if they didn't want to. This is true, but that pressure comes from the shareholders themselves, not from federal law.

As a real die-hard Clinton supporter I can tell that you are 100% delusional if you hope for Blue Texas this year or any year in the next two decades. If Texas casts its electoral votes for Hillary Clinton this year I will write a 3000 word essay on why I was dumb and wrong to doubt the Grand Abuela's mastery and will also make a $100 contribution to a charity chosen by the first Texas goon to quote this post (or, by default, Planned Parenthood).

I feel like it's worth saying again that jury verdicts are not precedent. They are not even assertions about the law of any kind. They're determinations of fact and nothing more.
