  • "Pro-life" woman seeks abortion and gets denied

  • These are people who don't want rights, they want privileges. They don't want equality, they want hierarchy. They can't say "gimme gimme", they say "take America back".

    From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.

    This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?

  • the whole genocide thing

    No informed voter thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala. Remember, people say one thing publicly when their private reasons are actually less popular.

    The conservative Muslims who claimed they loved Palestine voted for Republicans because they are conservative. They are using the Palestinian people as political pawns, just like Hamas. They share conservative values with Republicans based on cultural issues. They differ on the justification for it, but they are all supporters of hierarchy. Same with conservative Latinos.

    It's not popular to say "I like hierarchy and I want to be on top". Many supporters of hierarchy claim they love "individual rights" when they really want privileges for themselves. That's the reason why some people love the "Bill of Rights" but hate equality.

  • "Truthout" is just rage bait, even more so than more mainstream news media. They have no access to get interviews or direct reporting on the ground. Every article is just an opinion piece, whether they label it or not, because their goal is to enrage left wing readers.

  • This is also fake. Those are all incorrect.

  • Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates

    Jump

  • I mean, I would assume that someone who doesn't get a new enough car doesn't have enough money to pay for commercial insurance. Also offering people rides on the street is a bad idea (because you can get robbed) and possibly illegal. This is just running an unlicensed taxi service. Gypsy cabs have been around for hundreds of years. It's not a good idea.

  • That's a terrible idea. His insurance won't cover him in an accident. If a passenger is injured he may be on the hook for the medical care.

  • Republican group cites Dred Scott ruling as reason Kamala Harris can’t be president

  • Their interpretation isn't "originalist" or "strict" at all. It's just what they want to say, at any given moment. History would be very different if both of your parents had to be US citizens. The president of the US is required to be a "natural born citizen"

    Of the 45[a] individuals who became president, there have been eight that had at least one parent who was not born on U.S. soil.

    For one, Donald Trump might not be president because his mother was born in Scotland.

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/donald-trumps-immigrant-mother

    For those (uninformed) Trump supporters who claim she was a citizen when little Donny was born, that's true but her immigration process was much easier than it is today. This is it, in its entirety:

    On May 2, MacLeod left Glasgow on board the RMS Transylvania arriving in New York City on May 11 (one day after her 18th birthday). She declared she intended to become a U.S. citizen and would be staying permanently in America.

    Though the 1940 census form filed by Mary Anne and her husband, Fred Trump, stated that she was a naturalized citizen, she did not actually become one until March 10, 1942.[1][6][7] However, there is no evidence that she violated any immigration laws prior to her naturalization, as she frequently traveled internationally and was afterwards able to re-enter the U.S.

    [She] became a naturalized citizen in March 1942

  • That's actually really smart. But that info wasn't given to doctors examining the scan, so it's not a fair comparison. It's a valid diagnostic technique to focus on the particular problems in the local area.

  • That's another reason why he shouldn't be president. He's too old. Kamala Harris was a child in the 70s.

  • After Biden drops out, Trump lashes out

    Jump

  • He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

    Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

    Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's relatively easy to make good money in crypto if you understand investing. There are a lot of things that are illegal in regulated securities markets that are not yet illegal with crypto.

    I intentionally don't invest in crypto, because it doesn't produce anything. Any money you make is just taken from another investor, usually because they don't know what they're doing. When you invest in a company, you make products and sell them to customers. Something is created and rarely are people cheated.

    The people investing in crypto are intentionally cheating uninformed investors in a way that is not possible in regulated securities markets.

  • You didn't answer the question:

    Do you know anyone who is voting for RFK Jr? He is polling at 10% right now, so if it's real then statistically you should know someone.

  • You're wrong about a lot and you're presenting your opinions as fact. Trump doesn't underpoll by that amount now.

    There was a phenomenon in 2016 where people were reluctant to tell pollsters they were voting for him, because they were embarrassed. Now Trump supporters are the loud minority of voters. And Biden is the boring safe choice. Biden voters are less likely to stay on the phone and answer questions.

    Also, national polls mean very little. You have to actually look at the swing state polls to find out who's winning. And there's not much data this far from the election.

    Finally, we can tell there's something wrong with current polling just because "Mr. Brainworms" RFK Jr polls around 10% right now. No one is going to vote for him, and definitely not 10% of the population. People are just fucking with the pollsters right now. Do you know anyone seriously considering voting for RFK Jr?

  • It's the same as going to a bank and letting the teller look at your face. It's to prevent someone from stealing your identity using a picture of your ID.

    How can they verify the ID is real without physically seeing it? They look up the info but still need to verify that you are the person on the ID.
