There's a lot of shit to talk about the gop, that doesn't exactly mean a whole lot

Andrew Jackson was president like 20 years before the civil war my guy. Ulysses S. Grant was president when the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. I'm not really sure how you thought otherwise. Regardless, your other point about his reference to himself as an officer is irrelevant anyways because that's not what determines him to be an officer of the court.

The actual reason is that when the 14th Amendment was being signed, the specific question of "why does it not mention president" was asked nearly verbatim. One of the writers of the Amendment, who I'm forgetting the name of, replied to them by asking them to read over the part where it says "any officer". We know this because we have the minutes from that day, we have the transcription as it was recorded by hand at the time.

A federal court already determined Trump to have engaged in insurrection. By all accounts, he should be barred from running.

I'm sorry homie but VR is going nowhere. No one outside of a small, niche community even cares about it anymore.

No need for whataboutism here, the original statement you're replying to is already demonstrably false. You can easily address their actual argument.

Lmfao. Why? Do you have any reason to distrust NPR?

It is mostly because of this. I highly suggest looking into it. Project 2025 is the public plan conservatives have for if Republicans win this year, it's not some rumor or underground information.

Ah yes, it's the democrats fault. Holy shit can you have a good faith argument for fucking once.

Most of the plan relies on Trump also having a Republican House and Senate, which is likely for the former due to the immense gerrymandering that occurred in 2020.

Project 2025 is by far the most dangerous thing about the elections this year. It is so much worse than any other problem happening today.

In what court case?

[–] HandBreadedTools 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you have an example

Selling and giving are absolutely different, regardless of where the money comes from. I see what you mean, in that it is effectively giving, but that's just now how the law works. It should, I think Biden shouldn't even be able to override Congress in this regard, but that's just how it is. Congress can change that at any time.

The situation in Gaza is gray for many people, it's not easy to claim it's objectively defense or offense without proving it in court. I'm not trying to debate the morality of this context, I'm saying that Biden did not circumvent Congress.

It's really getting old seeing Biden defenders act like trump supporters

Bruh come on, you know that's a bad faith ad hominem. Someone isn't acting like a trump supporter because they call out a blatantly false argument lmfao. If anything, it's the other way around, attacking a person by baselessly comparing them to the other political side.

Okay, that's fine, but what do you mean? Do you have examples of when she voted against "the people"?

I put the quotation marks because I'm not sure which people you're referring to.
