most people, most of the time, follow the law, for no reason other than it happens to be the law. We don’t run red lights even when nobody is around, we don’t piss in the elevator, we don’t maliciously defame our enemies, we don’t solicit prostitution, we don’t leave the restaurant without paying our bill, we don’t cosh random black people in London. We follow laws we don’t even agree with. We follow laws that cost us time, money, and effort. We live in a free country and yet we follow totally stupid and unenforceable laws all the time. Why? It’s a tenuous thing. We follow the law because we imagine other people are also following the law and we perceive it’s in our societal self-interest for them to do so. We follow the law because we want other people to follow the law, and we don’t want to be the ones to ruin it for everybody.

Trump's Tariffs Accomplished More in Two Days Than Congress in 20 Years

idiotic illiterates can't read a basic tweet for comprehension, and yet are allowed to write and publish "articles" on the internet

then the rest of us get to make fun of their stupidity and their fake christian "values"

we get to call them lying pieces of shit

that's freedom of speech at work

this board is even equipped with an appropriate emoji for it

:fuckyou: :fuckyou: :fuckyou:

So what IS she saying, then?

 

she’s saying to have some remembrance and compassion from fathers who are separated from their children by some circumstance beyond their control

who doesn’t get that, except on purpose, or post-lobotomy?

Bad news for Manafort. SCOTUS 7-2 to allow States to prosecute for same crime as Feds, allowing a state and the federal government to each prosecute an individual for the same action if it violates both state and federal laws.


The SCOTUS has held the Constitution's double jeopardy clause allows states and the federal government to prosecute an individual for the same offense saying, "Where there are two sovereigns, there are two laws and two 'offences.'"

Justices Ginsburg and Gorsuch dissented.

takes care of the Trimppardon ® issue.

THE MAOISM OF DONALD TRUMP

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily...f-donald-trump

I've heard Trump referred to as an Accelerationist, too, but I don't quite see why.

he’s a catch-all turd of all trades

that article is from 2016

great leap backward, part 2

"cake artist"

great article in FFRF newsletter about testing for anti gay bias. If religious objections to war (conscientious objector status) are examined by a group of experts to determine sincerity and adherence to doctrine. why are citers of Leviticus not examined by a similarly powerful panel to determine if they are true believers or merely cherry picking Leviticus for what supports their bias and prejudice (if there are in fact, any cherries whatsoever in that text)?

Leviticus also calls for no shellfish, no mixed fiber, etc. So, are the "cake artists" questioned about ALL YOU CAN EAT SHRIMP NITE? And, if not, why not?

Supreme Court Upholds Cross On Public Land

It’s for decisions like this that Crooked Hillary was defeated......no bullcaca about that!

it upholds it because it doesnt have a primary religious function. it’s a war memorial. it has a secular purpose. and it’s an old monument not a newly built one. etc.. court voted 7-2 (across ideological lines) that it doesn’t offend the constitution.

lmao morons morons morons on parade

there is still no jesus in the constitution.

LEARN TO READ

hahahaha

It’s morons who don’t understand 7-2!

All of what you said is mostly correct, yet two morons dissented. If Crooked Hillary was in office, if she had been nominating Supreme Court Justices, it might have been a 5-4 vote or the vote could have gone the other way.

Notice how I said you were “mostly correct.”

Justice Alito: “the cross is undoubtedly a Christian symbol,”......so it's much more than a secular war memorial!

Only angry atheist would sink so low as to try and remove war memorials......only Godless fools would support them.

7-2 hasn’t killed the “Lemon test,” but it’s given it a blow:

One of the most significant questions that the new ruling left in a kind of constitutional limbo is whether the Court will any longer judge government actions that affect or support religion by a standard that it has used since 1971 – amid rising criticism by conservative Justices. That is the so-called “Lemon test,” taking its name from the decision in the case of Lemon v. Kurtzmann.

lmao go pray to santa claus

dear santy kloss:

please bring bytoe the gift of literacy so that he can comprehend full sentences. better yet, whole paragraphs! instead of chopping things down the middle and call them truthiness, IN ALL CAPS, which we call LYING BY OMISSION.

o santy, waiting until december would be such cruelty, kindly give us christmas in july, or june even, and help your child bytoe with his problem as soon as your elves can fix him, and maybe throw in the gift of nuance as a stocking stuffer.

amen.

Government Meeting Opens With ‘Hail Satan’ Prayer

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for that, Bytor; this was genuinely hilarious.

Funny how most people who say 'we should have religion in irrelevant circles' silently follow it with 'but only mine'.

you win the internet today :D

Individuals who choose to not believe in anything have lost the right to try and stop or remove America’s Monuments, Memorials and Long Standing Practices. Five of the Supreme Court Justices have said the “lemon test” no longer applies.

A new precedent has been set!

Justice Scalia compares the “lemon test” to some ghoul in a late night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried, Lemon stalks our Establishment Clause jurisprudence once again, frightening thelittle children and school attorneys of Center Moriches Union Free School District.......now that’s funny!

No one is denying that the cross or the Star of David are religious symbols, the Supreme Court is now saying that Christian Symbols represent more than religion = the power of 7-2

This Ruling Is So Important For America’s
Heritage
Patriotism
Binding us together as a Nation

7-2 represents a shift in the Court......the shift coming with Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. Elections = CONSEQUENCES and TRUMP being a serious contender is the proof. November 3rd is right around the corner and there will be new Supreme Court Justices to nominate :D

Jerusalem (AFP) - An Israeli court Sunday convicted the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of fraudulently using state funds for meals, under a plea bargain which dropped more severe charges.
While the ruling cut short a high-profile trial, the Netanyahu family's legal woes are far from over: the veteran premier himself faces possible indictment for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in the coming months.
In a deal approved by judge Avital Chen at Jerusalem magistrates' court, Sara Netanyahu was found guilty of using the errors of government accounting staff to bypass spending restrictions.
She was fined 10,000 shekels ($2,800) and ordered to reimburse the state a further 45,000 shekels.
Although her husband is a millionaire she asked for payment to be deferred and the judge allowed her to pay in monthly instalments beginning in September.
"The deal reached between the sides is worthy and appropriately reflects the deeds and their severity on the criminal level," Chen said in his ruling.
The 60-year-old, a high-profile presence at her husband's side throughout his long tenure in office, was initially charged in June 2018 with fraud and breach of trust for paying $100,000 (85,000 euros) for meals from well-known Jerusalem businesses.

DEMS rehearsing for the debates:

that was a good one :)


Trump hit the tweets again:

Supremo's OK gerrymandering. 5 to 4, exactly as you'd think

FUCK!!

I watched that Dem debate last night. Developed an immediate dislike for Warren, Beto and Cory Booker but from what little I saw of Tulsi Gabbard, I thought she was pretty cool.

haha

i thought that gabbard was too cool, like she’s running to be the next dalai lama or something

i liked booker actually

beto... lol nope

Yeah, seems from reading the reactions afterwards that Booker went down pretty well. The Spanish thing threw me but I do now remember he seemed pretty genuine when he was talking about the guns issue. Beto just came across as totally out of his depth.
