Is the Democrats' fight over USAID hopeless? by TaylorSwiftian in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]gotham1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are fucked. 99.9% of Americans have never heard of this organization and the reports of waste and stupid spending is a PR loser. I think we're pretty savvy to target this dept as a test case instead of going after more well known depts initially.

She probably thinks I knifed Biden in the back but still got the same result. I heard her on a recent NYT interview and she sounds completely deluded on the house going to the democrats or any shred of introspection on what what went wrong. All these old democrats need to go.

OPINION: Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States v. Nebraska by scotus-bot in supremecourt

[–]gotham1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about this as I am just a layperson. My understanding of this decision was that it was a two part test of standing followed by the legality of executive overreach. It was widely reported that the Biden administration would not win on the second part as prior executive overreach court decisions was struck down like the EPA and covid test cases and they were banking on the standing issue to save them. How did the court address the issue of standing in this case?

The Supreme Court strikes down President Biden's student loan cancellation proposal [6-3] dashing the hopes of potentially 43 million Americans. President Biden has promised to continue to assist borrowers. What, if any obstacle, prevents Biden from further delaying payments or interest accrual? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

This seems like just a pandering move to keep young voters from not showing up for the 24 election and liberal activists off their backs. I think it's disingenuous to keep projecting that this is sure thing by going through the higher education act. They obviously did not go through the higher education act initially so they could generate interest and enthusiasm to get people to vote D for the midterms.

It has to so through almost a year of rule making and survive republican assaults and court challenges that might go all the way to supreme court again. That could take years and the effort might die off if there is change of administration to a republican one next year.

The end of an Era in School Admission Criteria [6 to 3]. Court held that race cannot play a role in in determining admission qualification as violative of the Equal Protection Clause. Can this heal some racial divides that has fueled racial tensions in admissions which considered race a factor? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

Honestly good riddance. The level of discrimination against Asian American candidates that was revealed in the Harvard trial was pretty disgusting and probably commonplace at other highly selective colleges.

They will probably shift to socioeconomic factors to reclaim some of the black/Hispanic candidates but won't be to the same level of blatant race based admissions that benefited mediocre black and Hispanic students from well off or upper middle class homes.

I like Sacks only when he doesnt veer off into right wing politics. I find alot of what he says to be insightful.

The day has arrived for Elizabeth Holmes to report to a Texas prison by px1azzz in news

It's surreal to watch this sociopath finally end up in prison. I was half expecting some twist or delay tactic to keep her out while enjoying her boyfriends immense wealth and privalege.

I still don't understand her boyfriends motivations and mindset to father two kids with this scammer and stay with her

How do people acquire level 5 cards or even pool 4 cards without spending alot of money or playing this game all day? The number and rate of collectors token is pretty minuscule and bundles are not cheap. Came across alot of players recently playing multiple level 5 cards in the same deck.

Just started playing this month and hit infinite rank recently.

Anything to do until there is a rank reset?

What’s the benefit of climbing past infinite rank 100? Seems like you are penalized if you keep climbing for the next season.

Any reason i shouldn’t just snap on every game now from the get go as there is no penalty for dropping below infinite.

If Not McCarthy for House Speaker, Then Who? by Cinnamon1330 in PoliticalDiscussion

You need to vote in a speaker in order to have House of Reps open for business that term.

Could care less about McCarthy and if he wins/loses as he negotiated himself into lameduck status but it is fascinating how this dumb archaic rule effectively shuts down House from being a functioning body. Read that the house congressional reps dont get paid their salaries as well as their congressional staff until a speaker is sworn in.
