My boy did McIntosh dirty. Anyone able to, try one.

No mixed feelings.

I wish there was more wind.

I like wind.

Imagine going to a buffet where everything is gone except a suspicious and particularly greasy clam chowder or an overcooked ham sandwich that's been left out too long.

Also, you have a shellfish allergy.

Same way we get boll weavils.

Sterilize a ton of mosquitoes, release them into the wild, and have them compete against fertile ones. Over time, the population decreases.

...Okay. Vibe check failed.

Based on what you wrote, I'm almost certain you can't vote, so the topic is moot.

If you're actually an adult... That's sad.

The idea that there wouldn't be bigotry if nobody made it a big deal is conservative Regan era white racism that you picked up from your parents. Maybe your grandparents.

The idea that "move or fight" are your two solutions is an infantile mindset. Why should I move away from the place of my birth because of who I am? To abandon my family and weaken my economic standing? How could I fight a man who wants to kick my teeth in because he found out I'm a tranny? What do I do when an employer denies me a job because I'm "not a good fit"?

You think presidents have no impact on our lives. You think Carter would have killed the same number of queers. You think Mondale would have had the same war on drugs. You think Gore would have loosened EPA regulations. You think Lieberman would have slashed corporate taxes. You think McCain and Romney would have appointed sane justices; that gay marriage would be legal. You think Clinton would have appointed anti abortion justices.

Every elder gay I know lost multiple friends in the 80s. My life was changed because of the Iraq war. The weather in my area is more erratic because of climate change. Who I was allowed to marry was changed by the obergefell decision. My ability to continue with IVF treatment was ceased due to the abortion ban.

No president has failed to affect my life. To say that they haven't affected yours betrays your naivete, your privilege, or both.

Maybe my pig will shit out a gold nugget.

Our legal system is a continuation of the English common law system of the American colonies.

The magna carta falls within English legal history and is widely viewed as the first step in regulating the behavior of the king.

This supreme court ruling seems to allow the President to break the law.

It's my own comparison, but I think it's quite good.

I could also say that they've made the presidency into a dictatorship (in the Roman usage of the word). That's actually unfair to dictators since their unlimited power was narrow in scope, and they could be prosecuted when they left office. Ceasar was the last Roman dictator.

Supreme court ruled that presidents are immune from obeying the law.

Basically, they went against a millennium of legal precedent and overturned the magna carta.

I haven't heard Hon used that way since 2006.

Is it still actually a thing?

Four years ago, I voted for President Harris as the lesser of two evils.

This year, I vote for Queen Kamala I, as the lesser of two evils.
