That’s pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it’s always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.

‘Politically correct’ is what people used to say when they got called out for being awful human beings before ‘woke’ was invented.
There’s like three hundred million Americans, and I feel like nowhere near enough of them are passionate about how higher education and unpaid athletes performing for the commercial benefit of rich people should have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I read that as ‘euthanized’ and I wasn’t even surprised.
Wake me up when Vermin Supreme chooses his running mate. He’s got a better chance of winning than RFK the lesser
What kind of world do we live in when a fundamentalist authoritarian lunatic can’t even successfully crowdfund his human trafficking operation?
“Apres moi le deluge” might as well just be the GOP’s official slogan at this point.
If you don’t tell the people they’re starving, how could they possibly know?
“Tone deaf” is a weird way to pronounce illegitimate.
It’s a good thing politicians who think that the way to determine what is and isn’t objectively real is to argue about it in public don’t get to decide who goes to jail.

How dare you disrespect Gurney Halleck like that?
Does he seriously not know that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
Minimum 5 year term and it’s impossible to be pardoned in Ga. until 5 years after you’ve completed your sentence.
The governor of Georgia doesn’t have pardon power. From a recent article in the Journal-Constitution:
Should Trump be convicted of crimes in Fulton, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp would have no authority in granting a pardon. Georgia is one of only six states in which a board, operating independently of the governor, makes the decisions. Here, it’s the secretive State Board of Pardons and Paroles whose five members are appointed by the governor.
Georgia’s current system was created by constitutional amendment in 1943 after former Gov. E.D. Rivers was indicted on corruption charges, including accusations that he sold pardons.
To be considered for a pardon, a person must first complete all prison sentences at least five years before applying, have lived a “law-abiding life” in the intervening years, have no pending charges against them and have paid all their fines in full.
Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease. Do it!
‘Conservative’ Christians aren’t Christian in any meaningful sense of the word.
What does it mean when the highest court in your ostensible democracy is this obviously compromised?
I mean morally it’s obvious. Their judgements are invalid. Useless. Feel free to ignore anything they say if you can get away with it. But unless we’re down for anarchy, what means do we have to deal with this? Legally the president can pack the court. So long as he can get the senate to go along. But he doesn’t seem to want to, and there are no viable alternatives to the president we have. Not yet, anyway.
So here we are. A ‘democracy’ with a supreme court that’s openly compromised, if not outright corrupt. Nobody’s running on a ‘maybe the supreme court shouldn’t be filled with 18th century ideologues and grifters’ platform. Nobody’s talking about upside down flags and RVs on the major networks.
So what do?
