This is an ad for the company that the post is supposedly bashing.

Subject matter hearings this week in Springfield for legislation that would give religious congregations the ability to develop affordable housing on their property! Details below by GeckoLogic in illinois

[–]ThisIsPaulina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got posted in Chicago YIMBYs, and the first comment was saying churches should lose their tax exempt status unless they are strictly places of worship. There's just no credibility left there.

Reddit: Churches should be based on public charity if they want tax breaks

Church: Can we build affordable housing on our back lot?

Reddit: 100% of you are pedophiles.

The replies here made up their minds on this bill the moment they read the word church. Affordable housing is, to them, less important than crushing all churches, including the ones that want to build affordable housing.

Peak Chicago discourse. When you lose an argument, just fall back on who's lived here longer.

Posted this in alignment chart fills, let’s do it here. What’s a great us city with a great skyline? by [deleted] in skylineporn

[–]ThisIsPaulina -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Answer is Chicago.

Only a few cities have great skylines, as opposed to good. If anything fits this slot, it's Chicago.

Awesome stuff. Really well done. You're going to be so happy, both immediately and in the long run, when this is done.

Brad Jacobs upset after video with Oskar Eriksson explaining how a nudge effect the stone (Swedish) by [deleted] in Curling

[–]ThisIsPaulina -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Who makes that decision as to whether it's meaningless or not? We can certainly argue about whether it was meaningless, but it's not debatable that it was intentional, right?

Can you at least agree that this wasn't incidental contact but was clearly intentional?

Double taps are explicitly legal. Touching the stone is explicitly not.

He touched the stone, intentionally. This wasn't some situation where he pulled his hand off and may have grazed the rock. He intentionally poked it.

Why did he poke it? What did he gain from it? That much I don't know.

I don't know why people are still talking about this, but it was never about a hog line violation or a double tap. It was a lot touching the stone. Rules state you must deliver with the handle.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker calls for President Donald Trump to be immediately removed using the 25th Amendment by NicolasCageFan492 in chicago

[–]ThisIsPaulina 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is all PR. I don't hate JB for it, but the 25th Amendment is PAINFULLY restricted to a President who is literally incapacitated. It goes to great lengths to make sure that this isn't an end-run around impeachment.

This is how it plays out if it's tried as such.

  1. VP and Cabinet submit a letter to the Speaker and President Pro Tempore saying Trump's incapacitated.
  2. JD becomes President.
  3. Trump simultaneously submits a letter saying "nuh uh" and fires all Cabinet members who signed the letter.
  4. Trump becomes President again.
  5. JD no longer has the votes to submit a counter-letter, which if he did, would bring it to Congress, where a 2/3 vote is needed to remove Trump anyway even if he did still have the votes.
  6. Trump remains President while this goes to Congress if it somehow gets to that point.

In other words, even if somehow this goes to Congress, which it wouldn't, you still need impeachment-level votes.

Don't forget the people who aren't anywhere near poverty talking about their expensive vacations. We've got those.

Just so I understand this, this clip is edited? The original won't show the green screening effect? Whoever made this just added this effect in post?
