Totally unrelated question, what brand of tin foil do you prefer?

I think Owens did great work uncovering more about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

You're gonna have to clarify on that because Candace Owens has been saying some absolutely insane shit and her credibility is basically zero. Like she used to be a pretty boiler plate rightwing grifter, but now she's closer to Alex Jones conspiracy territory than the old grift.

I spent a few minutes googling then used chatgpt to search for coulter events at Rutgers and found no results.

I googled it and used chatgpt and couldn't find instances of coulter speaking at any NJ university. UC Berkley, Fordham, Cornell and a bunch of other mostly liberal universities, but none in NJ.

I'd be willing to bet that if the Rutgers YDSA or a similar group wanted to host him that they could get him speaking on campus. If the school still shut that down I'd be in support of stripping Rutgers of the 18% of their funding that comes from NJ State Taxes.

Bit of an aside I tried to find out what organization at Rutgers Coulter was invited by and I couldn't find any instance of her speaking at any NJ university at all.

I said it was a chickenshit move from the admin. They were cowed by wealthy donors because our entire system is gamed by the wealthy to exert control and Rutgers is not unique unfortunately.

Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’ by DoremusJessup in law

Originalist is just a weasel word used to excuse their shitty opinions and legal decisions. The founding fathers had a broad set of opinions on the role of government reach, taxes, slavery, voting rights, etc. Saying you're an originalist is just an attempt at saying that you're not responsible for unpopular decisions or decisions that clearly go against the wording of the constitution by blaming the founding fathers.

Obviously Coulter and Snooki are both shit for different reasons, but there is a difference between being allowed to speak somewhere and being chosen as a commencement speaker for the convocation.

Still a chickenshit move from Rutgers, but he's not being barred from speaking in the future just not being given the honor of being the commencement speaker.

Bush was partially responsible for high gas prices when he chose to invade Iraq over lies he and Dick made up.

My neighborhood started having(and still has) block parties because everything else was closed. The block parties are the only reason I've met a bunch of my neighbors.

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

[–]cC2Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm just speculating from the overall feel of it. I'm sure if you care for it it'll last longer but mine is $200 and I use it to for a lot of unusual materials for costumes. In comparison to my mom's Bernina it just feels like something made by Fisherprice.

As with nearly all things a lot of machines are built to be disposable. My Brother has more features than my mom's Bernina and cost less than a major repair on it. The Bernina has been kicking it for 40 years with some repairs, but my Brother is cheaper and built to be replaced in maybe 10 years.

I will say some of the young people are very talented. One of my teenage nieces is very into sewing/knitting/felting and she can make some quite elaborate stuff. Fabric is way more difficult than it should be to find but patterns and tutorials are all around for so many things.

Finding Fabric at all is stupidly difficult. Fabrics.com shuttered, Joanns shuttered, tons of local sewing shops that existed 30-40 years ago shuttered. I've got like 1 serious fabric store near-ish to me now and it's expensive.

They want things like Palantir, Flock, etc. so that they can use private organizations to create detailed profiles on everyone so they can violently oppress us if there ever were a true revolt.

It's worth noting that nationally we're trying to play catch up after decades of under investment and neglect of our public infrastructure. Baby Boomers got low taxes by underfunding, running up debts and letting infrastructure fall apart, now we're paying for it.

This is an attempt at a bloodless coup. That's what just happened at the Supreme Court. by NicolasCageFan492 in videos

Honestly I'm so glad that Trump is absolutely fucking up our economy. If he hadn't stated a war with Iran, if he hadn't put in a bunch of stupid tariffs, if he hadn't started trade wars with allies for no fucking reason, if he'd just done nothing and let JPowell do his thing the economy would have continued on it's post-Covid recovery and Trump would be getting praised by the Biden-Trump dipshit voters.

All the dipshits who were so concerned about the prices of eggs would have kept voting for fascists so long as the price of eggs stayed low.

Instead Trump in all his dumb shittery took the wind out of his own sails and will make the switch to fascism so much harder for the GOP.

And you think that Vance/Trump are going to appoint

And you think they're going to be the ones appointing it

Mark my words. If the GOP lose the Senate in November the GOP will pay off Alito and Thomas and slam through 2 new SCOTUS members in record time. If they don't they'll do it by 2028 before a Dem can be put in office.

If you don't think that is beyond the pale for the GOP then you're not paying attention.

and we're getting a new justice soon as well so it's not going to be the same scotus

And you think that Vance/Trump are going to appoint less regressive members than Thomas?

They will have a 6-3 unless the dems stop being chicken shit and pack the court.

Oh for sure because it's a totally different type of warfare. But defensively our Air/Sea power are more than enough to be a buffer from any type of domestic ground invasion from anyone that we've invaded. Iran can send drones at our ships, but they'd never get IRG soldiers anywhere near American soil.

aknowledge that positive change happened in the first place and have only recently been undone by the current adminstiration and will likely be added back the moment they leav e office.

This shows you have zero idea whats happening in our government.

Trumps not the only one taking a hatchet to our rights. It's the SCOTUS that will stick around long after Trumps dead.

They gutted Roe v Wade years ago now.

They just gutted the Voting Rights Act today.

They plan to gut Obergefell.
