gotta love when people refuse to acknowledge Marbury v. Madison

plus if SCOTUS usurped the role of congress these days it would sit around tweeting how concerned it is and not do a damn thing to reign in trump. but the justices don't tweet so...

user15026

But we must consider how worried this dude is about the locker rooms and restrooms!

user15026

(okay yes there is more to it than that and I am being needlessly reductive but come on dude)

GodEmperorDune

@Ash i mean he said "biological reality" so who is really being reductive here

user15026

Hell, even the biological reality is not as binary as he thinks

@GodEmperorDune Giving into bigotry just encourages more bigotry

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune Wait what

But sex and gender identity aren't the same thing!

GodEmperorDune

bigots gonna bigot

and blather on about how change is bad because of "nature" whilst remaining entirely ignorant about how things in nature actually happen, because experts are part of the deep state and thus not to be trusted

Wipqozn

Nature doesn't have religion or plumbing, so I suppose we should ditch those too

@SaintWacko To be wholly fair, Title VII was 50+ years ago.

Sections of it are definitely outdated but it was a landmark social advancement for its time.

@nycsouthpaw help a bunch of lawyers are talking about their client's secret conversation as a client or their client's secret conversation when they were a lawyer and nobody is even raising privilege which is the thing that was the big deal and i can't even anymore https://twitter.com/woodruffbets/status/1020422779240239104

Just so we're 100% on this Giuliani's whole approach is saying it can't have been anything improper because it involved a check and who writes a check for a crime? Which uhhh 🤔

Yuuki

That's like literally what embezzling is.

Remember the graph in #NuclearPostureReview suggesting nukes have saved lives by preventing big wars? https://media.defense.gov/2018/Feb/02/2001872886/-1/-1/1/2018-NUCLEAR-POSTURE-REVIEW-FINAL-REPORT.PDF Well, a new review finds "the graphical representation is both irreproducible using the cited sources and profoundly misleading.” http://www.mors.org/Portals/23/Docs/Events/2018/86th/Abstracts%20with%20Text%205-30-18.pdf

I got severely criticized by the Fake News Media for being too nice to President Putin. In the Old Days they would call it Diplomacy. If I was loud & vicious, I would have been criticized for being too tough. Remember when they said I was too tough with Chairman Kim? Hypocrites!

Tweeted by realDonaldTrump on July 20, 2018 at 9:50 PM

Uhhh no, actually?

I don't remember anyone saying that

They just said don't start a nuclear war, because that's dumb as hell

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone love too ignore nuance

Yuuki

So we have Crooked Hillary, whatever he called Comey, and Chairman Kim?

One of these is not like the others.

Although I guess he did call him Rocket Man or something at one point?

Tim Stone

That's now fake news

The death toll has risen to 17 after an amphibious tourist boat capsized in a lake in southern Missouri. Fourteen people survived the sinking. https://n.pr/2uECI8W

btw I hadn't even heard of that but the President issued a statement on it this morning

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki i think it was "lyin comey"

A friend of mine did a fantastic interview about her experience as a trans person

Tim Stone

If you thought Trump might get upset about the tapes, or being told off by Mark Hurd, or the continuing negative coverage, do I have a surprise for you!

The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again - can’t believe it! Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!

Tweeted by realDonaldTrump on July 20, 2018 at 10:17 PM

He's actually mad about black football players

puzzlepiece87

@TimStone No he's not. (in my jaded opinion)

He's actually trying to distract from the news cycle beating he's taking. (in my jaded opinion)

A cardiologist who treated former President George H.W. Bush was killed Friday in a bicycle-to-bicycle drive-by shooting in Houston, authorities say https://cnn.it/2LBpTCW

So this is a thing I had not known previously, let alone about Moon Jae-in's involvement

GodEmperorDune

> Three days later, American and South Korean forces launched Operation Paul Bunyan

70s, yo

Tim Stone

Yeah, and the amount of firepower they queued up was not messing around

They did not seemingly threaten to nuke them tho 🤔

GodEmperorDune

wow yeah, i wonder how expensive it was to bring all that firepower to cut a tree down

@Wipqozn your friend is awesome for sharing that, please let her know she has a friend in LA if she's ever out here

user15026

@Wipqozn This is super excellent. I liked this bit a lot. "They’re still your friend, they’re still your family. They’re just going through a bit of a thing."Also, her blog is super neat.

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune I'll pass it along next time I see her

@Ash Yeah I liked that line a lot too
