Name five cops who don't.

You know who (apparently) didn't get sued? The person who made the video and initially tweeted it. Because they probably took down their tweet when they got the cease and desist letter. Trump & Co. retweeted it commercially and refused to pay for it. They then got sued because they refused to take it down after getting the letter.

If you find yourself as the recipient of a cease and desist letter because you used someone else's creative work for your own profit, just don't be an ass and take it down. Then you won't get sued.

“It is amazing to hear you talk about women of color as parroting talking points instead of us looking at basic math,” Rye said. “The one thing AOC has done that you haven’t is win some elections.”

Solid point. Also, the fact that a candidate for the Presidency doesn't even know how many members there are in the House of Representatives shows just how little attention she pays to the basic mechanics of our government.

I want to hear the candidates positions, not the positions his team thinks I want to hear.

Swift is too smart for him. She knows he's an immigrant and just wants to get into her place so he can eat her cats.

"That's why I wanted to ask the broader question, which is, if you've changed your position on X, Y and Z, how can you assure voters that those positions won't change again once they elect you?"

What a moronic concept. Why would anyone demand that their elected representative be monolithic in their positions? When you get new information, you sometimes need to adjust your positions to accommodate reality, but I guess that something the Republicans have never really been good at.

But the ven diagram of people who circumcise their children in the U.S. and chrstians is very close to a circle.

Sorry, but that's not even close. Male circumcision is very commonly practiced among the Jewish and Islamic faiths as well as American Christians, who I guess just can't resist a fad.

According to current estimations, approximately 30% of all males across the world— representing a total of approximately 670 million men — are circumcised. Of this number, about 68% are of Islamic faith, less than 1% of Jewish faith, and 13% are non-Muslim, non-Jewish Americans.

Cadet Bonespurs. He's never held a real rank. He's a draft dodger.

The American prison system is absolutely counter productive, whether for adults or juveniles. When you throw people in a cage and treat them like animals for years, they are going to act like animals when you let them back out. The only difference between adult and juvenile prosecution is likely to be how long he's locked away before he's turned loose on society again.

Rather than deciding between adult and juvenile, we should be deciding whether or not we want to treat offenders like human beings and actually try to rehabilitate them if possible.

People need to start talking about a possible President Vance. If Trump wins, it is a near certainty that he will die or be declared unfit within a year or two at most. If that were to happen, Vance will become president. Project 2025 would have Vance's full support and the support of the Federalist Society and the backing of billionaires like Thiel and Musk.

If Republicans gave a shit about people's pets, they would to do something about cops killing 25-30 pet dogs per day (based on DoJ estimates) and using cats for target practice?
