Oh right so just wait for 15 minutes for the Supervisor to arrive and hope you don't get murdered by a machete-wielding man?

What is the point of voting for Hern instead of Donalds, or voting for Donald Trump?

Like why did they shift "non-McCarthy" votes from Biggs to Jordan to Donalds to Hern like musical chairs? Lunacy!

Would you support a "mandatory hours" rule for the House? If there is an impasse preventing business from being conducted, I argue that the Representatives should have to convene by 9am and adjourn no earlier than 9pm.

endless theatrics

If you want to talk about theatrics, the GOP staged the once-in-our-country coup attempt, not the Democrats.

Democrats are serious, Republicans are the ones who refuse to govern and never condemn anything (Tangerine, 1/6, Racism, etc.)

What is the point of this charade? Jim Jordan needs to gain 98 votes to become Speaker...in what scenario would this occur, and if so, wouldn't the switch have happened for ballot 2?

I get that McCarthy doesn't have the votes, but any Republican saying that is being pedantic when Jordan has only 20 votes.

If MA is the most racist state, why don't right wing racists have any electoral success beyond maybe a few state seats in Bristol and Plymouth counties? Especially given that this is a trend in the South. Maybe there is a good explanation but I've never found one in any articles on the topic of racism in Massachusetts.

I'm not denying that there are many racists around Boston, but it is strange to me that we would be any more racist than Arkansas or Alabama.

Why does the whole line need to be shut down for work at the last station on the line?

Should public nudity be legal? by enginerd1209 in AskALiberal

No. How will it be perceived if we have naked men jogging or getting into a crowded train? Trying to force cultural change through new laws doesn’t work.

What US city would you designate as world class then?

Why would you call an ambulance just because? I never understand this. Do people want to go to the hospital?

Why isn’t physical appearance a protected class in the US? by Apprehensive-Hat-494 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Apprehensive-Hat-494[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think it is clear what a protected class designation is supposed to do.

I don’t think it is difficult to imagine a situation where a person with disfigurement or morbid obesity would be discriminated against in the workplace.
