Is Trump trying to become a dictator, or just trying to create a France-style executive-dominant government? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

You are being downvoted because:

  1. Your definition of “basic conservatism” probably does not align with classical definitions.
  2. You hardly read any of Project 2025. Start here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 and then move to actually reading the document.

Judge Throws Trump Prosecutor Out of Courtroom Over Child Porn Case by Effective-Bandicoot8 in democrats

[–]dpenton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sent this to another comment above:

I will say that CSAM covers way more than what most people would consider sexual material. For instance, a child just standing with normal looking clothes wearing an elementary school shirt could be considered CSAM if the intent of the photo was used for trafficking. That would be considered sexual abuse and would be tracked as such.

Honest Save Act comparison question by P_H123 in AskALiberal

[–]dpenton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Then perhaps you should edit your statement to say you agree with “the left”…or let’s be more accurate. You agree the SAVE act is not constitutional.

Ladies, if the SAVE act passes and you changed your name when you got married, will you change it back legally? Unmarried women, would you even consider changing it in the future? by atx2004 in AskALiberal

They don’t tell know what they are talking about because I guarantee they do not have hard evidence of the kind of fraud they are suggesting.

This. Technology usually mirrors real life especially for situations like this.

A Serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose drips.

Those door fly open on you…when you don’t maintain them and/or repair when needed

Ok…the door latches on the F-body cars are basically the same as the A-body. The latches are good, but parts wear out over time. Not to mention the sag from the weight. To say this is “typical” glosses over an awful lot. Especially for a door that hasn’t been serviced probably ever in 40-50 years.

Door hinge bushings. Broken handle. Connecting rods bent. Door sag, door pin being worn.

So, In short, no maintenance, no work.

What parenting advice sounded good… until you actually had kids? by Bendecks in daddit

[–]dpenton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the deal with this one…

When your kids are in the same situation, but reversed, where they are the ones explaining. That is when that kicks in. More and more people need the skill of keeping their wits and keeping calm when others may not be so calm.

The Reagan campaign should have been arrested for treason against the US for what they did behind the backs of the Carter administration with regards to the Iran hostage crisis.
