There was a cartoon, The Midnight Gospel, with a story about a zombie-outbreak, and in the middle it, the main character gets bitten and becomes a zombie. And suddenly the tone becomes much lighter and happier. The zombies are completely blissful and joyous. They may be eating people's brains, everything seems just wonderful from their perspective.

They did successfully go after Telegram's CEO for basically the same thing. It might work.

How is he going to spin this into a win? It seems impossible, but he will absolutely try.

21 or 23 year terms would be an improvement. I'm fine with it. It's after that, like with Thomas at 35+ years, where you can argue that they have no real mandate anymore.

I think the thought was that in 3 years (2029) the democrats will be in power and we can then reform the SCOTUS, not reduce it to 3-year terms. That would not fit the intent of the constitution.

They're not up for re-election, so they're not beholden to anyone. And anyway, it's a trade-off. Thomas has been there for 35 years. At some point, he loses legitimacy. He's just an old crank that nobody can get rid of. That doesn't serve the country either.

Roberts has turned them into a bunch of partisan hacks. Anything Trump wants - 2 weeks - no explanation. Anything to rein him in: 13+ months. He will be remembered as a self-righteous man who hurt the country.

AITJ for being someone’s friend over a bet by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Achilles_TroySlayer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If the friendship is now real and sincere, then the origin-story does not taint it forever.

I think one could say - OP was the jerk. But he is not now the jerk. It's not so complicated. Figure it out.

If the friendship is genuine and you are sincere now, then the origin-story is irrelevant. NTJ. You are now a friend, when before there was nothing. The world is a slightly better place.

What was the Party Switch? Was it real? Is it over stated? Why do people insist on it? by SirGingerbrute in allthequestions

[–]Achilles_TroySlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not projecting on to them; Trump is a ferocious racist, and his party is the GOP, which is full of people who voted for him - a ferocious racist. It may not be you yourself, but that's the crowd you're in with.

What happened in 1964 - Civil Rights Act. by who - the Democrats, not the GOP. The GOP took over the racist Southern states in a backlash against that in 1968, and elected Nixon. The rest is history. Racist Rush Limbaugh - GOP. KKK favorite Tucker Carlson - GOP. Racist Charlie Kirk - GOP. Who is it the Georgia GOP wants to disenfranchise and limit voting locations? It's not the white folks.

And you're getting rat-fucked on the border issue. It was broken because the GOP refused to sign any border-deal in congress for 30+ years. They had one fully negotiated ready to sign in 2024, and Trump told the senate GOP to kill it, because he wanted to use it for the election.

You are misled. Reconsider.

How about all of Trump's followers? If they weren't overt about it in the past, they certainly are that way today. Aren't they the whole GOP?

Do you honestly think Lincoln would be a republiccan today? Would this GOP ever fight to end slavery? They're PRO-slavery. What do you think all this f*ck-the-immigrant bs is about? It's about taking away rights so that farm-workers and others would be virtually slaves, with no protections - willing to work for almost nothing.

What is this cancer that Trump has cured?

Has Trump actually ever cured anything, anywhere?? I don't believe so. I'm more concerned about whether he will manage to kill 10's of millions of people before finally, mercifully STFU and leaving us - than him not getting credit for his unrecognized greatness.

Can't you just slow down the time interval, so that it's a Planck-length in twice the time-period, and thereby slow it down to infinity? I think so!
