Whoever is being aggressive. If it's just words they do nothing, if someone tries something physical they are stopped.

On the other hand, might also be good for Firefox to not be 86% funded by the maker of its top rival (Chrome).

This is really a denial of the authority and expertise of public health officials. Vaccines COULD be more dangerous than the diseases they prevent (theoretically...doubt it has happened for other reasons), or at least have side effects that make the vaccines not worth giving to everyone. Like the smallpox vaccine isn't given to everyone anymore because it just isn't worth the cost/benefit analysis anymore.

But if a vaccine doesn't pass the cost/benefit analysis, it doesn't get approved for common use. That is the job of public health officials. So that 31% are all wrong if they mean "all vaccines" or "currently widely available vaccines" which they almost certainly do.

Damn I actually think this is a good idea.

It wouldn't be /r/politics but paywalled... they might even force the top X subs to be free.

It would be more akin to a Patreon community or a substack readership. There are paywalled communities around, who might like the reddit form factor.

Takes a lot to look at AIPAC successfully defeating two of their highest priority targets and giving it a negative spjn for AIPAC.

I just aged like Matt Damon at the end of Saving Private Ryan.

The race was 60/40 Trump and now it's 50/50. It won't get to more than 60/40 Harris ever. Either candidate winning is an extremely realistic scenario.

The federal interest is that they said the US president is constitutionally immune from prosecution for performing his Constitutional duties. If a state prosecutes a president for performing his Constitutional duties, they have violated the US Constitution and SCOTUS is who has the final decision on that.

Think of how SCOTUS decision Roe V Wade said there was a Constitutional right of bodily autonomy, and when states passed abortion bans when Roe was the law of the land the laws just didn't take effect, and the states could not arrest doctors for performing abortions. States can't violate the US Constitution.

(In this instance arguing the election interference was Constitutionally protected would be a huge stretch I'm not saying he WILL get off on those charges but if SCOTUS wanted to they could make it so)

I don't think any Democrat is pardoning Trump, if they don't then it's up to the jury and the judges whether he goes to jail. The cases have been filed.

Maybe SCOTUS can rule him immune for the Georgia election interference case but it can't be pardoned.

The Hush Money case he's already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.

The stolen classified documents case he wasn't president for that so he won't get SCOTUS, only thing that could be done is a pardon or a failure to continue the prosecution but the appeal of Aileen Cannon's ruling is happening in this administration.

I like the guy but isn't the Occams Razor answer that the guy making $127k/year with no mortgage DOES have investments of some kind, they're just in his wife's name or not reported for some reason?
