    I think it’s possibly even sisters. Very similar hair, and the one in front is blocking the screen on purpose.

    @George-K said in SCOTUS on Harvard and UNC: Have you seen Thomas's smackdown? What are you referring to specifically? I'm looking for it (as well as the Roberts v Sotomayor debate).

    @Horace said in A pond of liberalism in a sea of conservatives.: @taiwan_girl said in A pond of liberalism in a sea of conservatives.: I don't think it is a liberal vs. conservative problem. It is a problem in rural areas too, which I think are usually more conservative. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/texas-police-officer-shortage-prompts-handful-18112294.php "Some rural areas like Throckmorton County have no deputies at all. Others, including Tarrant County and Ector County, have had to send jail inmates to other lockups because they don’t have enough staff for their jails. And others including Bexar and Travis counties have been forced to rely heavily on overtime to keep proper staffing levels, straining their personnel and risking burnout." https://www.officer.com/training-careers/hiring-promotion/news/53061363/texas-lawmakers-scramble-to-boost-rural-pds-amid-state-officer-shortage etc. All of america has tipped against cops, who are seen to be forces of evil and brutality. It's a wonder that anybody wants to become a cop these days. Recruiting is down everywhere. Do you want to be the next world-wide pariah for making the wrong split second decision where you feel your life may be in danger? $20,000 signing bonus to be one around here.

  • The SCOTUS 303 decision was based on a "Fake" lawsuit

    @George-K said in The SCOTUS 303 decision was based on a "Fake" lawsuit: The "flimsy thinkers," as you describe them claim that the case has no validity because, allegedly, the plaintiff did not exist. The cry is "Supreme Court ruled on a hypothetical!" Seen on FB: "...that's the problem with SCOTUS's ruling on this case which they had no business taking on (there was no injured party! Heck, there were no web sites and no gay persons had asked for one!!)" The point that is being made is that the State of Colorado stipulated that the plaintiff exists, and therefore, the case is legitimate for appeal, etc. Once everyone agrees the evidence is real, it's not up to appellate venues to re-litigate that. The flimsy thinkers I’m describing are the ones on SCOTUS, and they did not dissent for the same reason as lefty Twitter randos do.

    It’s harder to not have mint become a garden nuisance than it is to grow it… I would be tempted to toss some balsamic glaze and feta into that watermelon, blueberry, and mint mix… It’s just me and the Finster this afternoon/evening so hotdogs and an Italian sausage for dad (hot), potato salad, corn, and a tomato/cucumber salad. Strawberry shortcake for desert. After we get back from fireworks and Fin’s asleep, I have a glass of rye and a Monte Cristo lined up.
