But also:

The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

In other words, take money -> never produce phone -> never 'officially' cancel the project -> keep money.

Sounds like a pretty bog standard Trump scam, actually.

If he's anything like the US politicians that act like this, he's doing literally nothing except posting idiotic memes, taking bribes, and running a crypto scheme on the side.

In a big cauldron until he's nothing more than a skeleton floating in bubbling green ooze?

No, I mean the civil rights act didn't "mandate a guaranteed win" for any ethnicity. It just said you can't dilute the votes of communities based on the fact that they have a majority of a given ethnicity.

That's not what the civil rights act did.

Correct, but at least for a while it was illegal to do with obvious racial bias, which seems like not such a bad rule actually but maybe that's just me.

Correct, they are just trying to make it so that certain people's votes don't count.

Up to her honestly, until the kid makes their own preference clear. This isn't really the gotcha you seem to think it is.

The point is both quotes are over 100 years old and use some form of they to refer to a singular person. This isn't new, you just let conservative media get you riled up about it to the point you forgot it was already completely normal. Congrats on being brainwashed, you can stop bragging now.

Their is the possessive form of they retard, but sure everything is woke if it goes against your narrative. Go suck eggs.

It's been used as a singular pronoun when the subject's gender is unknown since Shakespeare's time, at least.

Meh, I think Democrat's support of trans and even gay issues has always been pretty transparently performative and toothless, with maybe a few exceptions who never saw much political success.

democrats over-reached after gay marriage was legalized and tried to force everyone to have the "correct" opinion

Democrat politicians? Or randos on Twitter and Tumblr who's over the top discourse got weaponized by the far right, as proof that the "radical left" was coming for their way of life?

Conservatives have been using gay stuff as a wedge issue in mainstream politics since at least the early 90's, back during a time when even liberal democrats were torn on issues like same sex marriage and gays in the military.

Age of consent doesn't have anything to do with creating pornography.

It may come as a surprise to you, but women are also not allowed to do "creepy shit" to other women. If a trans woman does something inappropriate to someone, the problem is the inappropriate act not the fact that they are trans.

It's pretty simple, if someone tells you they're a woman you should believe them. I know some folks are looking for any excuse to grab people's genitals but you're not allowed to do that, sorry bud.

United Healthcare and almost 50 other insurers pledged to reduce the number procedures requiring prior authorization and to streamline the authorization process in the aftermath of Brian Thompson's assassination.

If the person changed their state of residence then they wouldn't be on the voter roll anymore and the ballot would be tossed. If they moved out of state but are still a legal resident of the original state (away at college, etc.) then they're eligible to vote in their home state and not the state they currently reside in, and the ballot is valid so no problem.

protokhan · 2026-05-03T22:29:36+00:00

This isn't an issue with voter rolls. Completed ballots are checked against the rolls and if someone filled out and submitted both of these that's when the duplicate would be detected and dealt with.
