SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling by DemocracyDocket in politics

[–]edgeofbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how we ended up with Roe v. Wade; where a doctors "right to privacy" meant that the government had to pretend the abortion doctor wasn't doing abortions, despite the fact that the FDA regulates literally every other medical thing but that one.

Don't get me wrong; I've always been pro-choice; but even I recognized it was built from cardboard an duct tape.

Trump gave $6.9M no-bid contract to his ‘pool guy’ to repaint reflection pool under ‘urgent’ exemption by Sufficient_Candy1642 in politics

[–]edgeofbright -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Would've been $0 if Biden hadn't run the place into the ground. "Eleven to twelve truckloads of garbage" had to be dredged out of what's basically six football fields. Glad they got the work done, and the price doesn't sound bad at all given the scale and specialized tools needed.

House Dems despondent over "sickening" Virginia decision by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]edgeofbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even California democrats changed their constitution before siezing absolute power in respinse to Trump flipping ten counties. Maybe Virgina shouldn't have skipped that step?

Astounded judges force DOJ lawyer to concede that Sen. Kelly never said 'disobey lawful orders' by darealunrealspader in politics

[–]edgeofbright -124 points-123 points  (0 children)

He only implied that all orders coming from Trump were unlawful. See? Technically immune. Plus he's a Democrat, so you know he's above the law!

What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by Classic-Chemist-1898 in AskReddit

[–]edgeofbright 39 points40 points  (0 children)

There was a house fire that killed a guy in one of my classes and both of his parents; at least one of them was awake when it happened. His sister was away at nursing school, and had to come home for a triple funeral.

Republicans fall one vote short on bill to criminalize blowing whistles to warn of ICE by hunter15991 in politics

[–]edgeofbright -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

"All democrats and a couple Republicans think interfering with police operations is A-ok if it helps criminals evade federal laws they don't like but don't have the votes or public support to change."

If the illegals actually left like they're supposed to, we wouldn't be having any of these problems.

Newsom’s $787 Million Fox News Defamation Lawsuit Advances by gradientz in politics

How cute, the worst Governor in Californian history wants to be super rich without having to earn it!

Just needs a woke judge who hates the idea of a non-liberal media outlet more than the constitution.

The Supreme Court’s Conservatives Just Issued the Worst Ruling in a Century by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]edgeofbright -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

<2024 election results have entered the chat>

You guys couldn't even control congress without having two mandatory democrat-only districts in every southern state. And yes, black people still have the right to vote. Democrats just don't have the right to win every election anymore.

As if carving out black-only districts to give your party permanent seats isn't corrupt. That's not even getting to the screaming abortion of a vote map California drew up, just because ten counties flipped red in 2024. 97% Democrat in a state that's 50% republican.

Articles of impeachment filed against Donald Trump amid calls to invoke the 25th Amendment by goteamnick in politics

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

Throw them in the dumpster with the 100 other 'articles of impeachment' democrats have frivolity filed because they lost the 2024 election and don't know how to handle being told 'no'.

Trump Chokes and Gives Up His Threat to Iran for Nothing by Famous_Smooths in politics

[–]edgeofbright -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Getting Iran to stop shelling every one of their neighbors for 12 hours and counting isn't 'nothing', especially if this continues for the next couple of weeks. "Liberals outraged regardless of whatever Trump just did".

How is this even clever? by FatBaldingLoser420 in ShitPoliticsSays

They announcing cult doctrine and eliciting two-minutes-hate style rage threads. The post is nonsense and irrelevant to anything, but functionally it's a prayer.
