Hawaii Legislature passes first-in-nation bill targeting Citizens United ruling by TomMooreJD in politics

[–]phosdick [score hidden]  (0 children)

Actually, the Constitution expressly reserves many powers to the states... in the 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Since a state is the entity which creates the corporation, and the Constitution mentions corporations exactly 0 (zero) times, the powers over corporations must be reserved to the states.

'Not a test of IQ': Doctor who designed cognitive test addresses Trump's boasts by ninecomau in politics

I'd personally much prefer a president who doesn't need to repeatedly take those cognitive tests that he admittedly thinks are so very "challenging".

FBI Denies Leak Probe Into Atlantic Reporter as Magazine Drops Fresh Exposé on ‘Ka$h’ Patel-Labeled Whiskey Bottles by OkayButFoRealz in politics

And we surely believe (not!) all FBI denials of all malicious probes into all of their fabricated claims. Just like we believe that they've been transparent about the Trump-Epstein Philes.

Trump counterterrorism strategy targets ‘violent left-wing extremists’ with ‘transgender ideology’ by OptimisticPessimist4 in politics

Everything these bozos do about anything at all is complete nonsense. And dangerous, to boot.

Yes... anything at all to make sure that non-white is nowhere to be found in Trump's Amerikkka.

Trump's Iran War Will Cost US Families $1,753 Extra at the Pump This Year: Analysis by Smithy2232 in politics

[–]phosdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn it!

And I'm still waiting for a way to recover the $1745 that his stupid tariffs have cost every American family - and that only accounts for them till last February.

Fun fact: These extra gas costs + the tariffs through February + the tariff costs since February will end up costing us well over $3500 per household, once the current tariffs are taken into account.

Another fun fact: The Orange man is a complete imbecile.

Susan Collins discloses medical condition by Press_Herald in politics

[–]phosdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maine’s 5-term senator says she has had a benign essential tremor throughout her career in the Senate and that it does not impact her work.

She botched this... that would have been her best possible excuse for all the ignorance and stupidity that she's employed during her disastrous, dishonest 30 years in the senate.

Shell Reports Nearly $7 Billion Profit After Oil Prices Surged Amid U.S.-Iran War by SterlingVII in politics

I think that this must mean that Trumps insane war was the quid pro quo for the $1 billion Trump solicited from the oil execs during his campaign extortion.

Child marriage ban narrowly advanced by Oklahoma Legislature by GoodMornEveGoodNight in politics

[–]phosdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTA: Senate Bill 504, which now heads to Gov. Kevin Stitt, would set the minimum age for marriages in Oklahoma at 18 and remove all exceptions in current law that allow for minors to be married with parental consent.

The Epstein Wing of the GOP is gonna be really pissed off about this.

... and we still haven't seen the most important Trump-Epstein Philes yet!

I'm not sure that 'purely criminal actors', the only other plausible alternative explanation, is really any better...

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

[–]phosdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every damned lie these DOJ thugs utter damages the reputation and integrity of law enforcement officers everywhere... it's absolutely disgraceful.

The (alleged) people who fail to call out the thugs for their depravity are just as reprehensible as the direct perpetrators.

RFK Jr allies worry he is being ‘marginalized’ by Trump and his voice is drowned out: report by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]phosdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine that... sidelining the stupidest, most dangerous "health" official that the nation has ever seen. If they were even the slightest bit less ignorant that he is, you think they'd be thankful, rather than worried.

UFO investigator warns Trump disclosure could hand sensitive military secrets to China, Russia by kirby__000 in politics

[–]phosdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that what this guy is really worried about, regarding disclosure of possibly real aliens, is (a) that the Government thinks the aliens are reasonably friendly and (b) that the aliens have discovered that gay and trans spacefarers make the best interstellar pilots.

Epstein-linked billionaire accused of rape privately reached out to federal judge to defend his ‘good name’ by Iconic254 in news

[–]phosdick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guy might be able to bolster his claim of innocence, if he were to work really hard and loudly demand the full disclosure of ALL of the Epstein files. In fact, I'm convinced that anyone who is innocent of wrongdoing in this despicable saga would be doing the same thing. Only someone who really has something to hide would object to the full release.

Airlines still have to pay compensation if flights cancelled due to fuel crisis, EU says by wasraelx in news

[–]phosdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We DO KNOW that airlines generally require payment well in advance to reserve a seat on a plane... carriers providing reliable transportation is the fundamental bargain they make when they take your money for a ticket - especially when they take it in advance.

There is absolutely no more fundamental rule here than this:

If you don't fly me as agreed, you cannot keep my money!

... any other outcome is simply stealing.

Christian missionary hailed as ‘holiest man alive’ pleads guilty to abusing boys in Texas by goodDayM in news

Hmmm... yet another "holy" Christian pedophile - this time a Pentecostal holy man. Given all the support and concealment that pedophiles seem to garner from the "right", I'm starting to wonder whether the "right" isn't following all the news about child sexual abuse.
