Agreed. I want internet, but beyond that I don't want to be near anything. My mom was telling me to prioritize a place with good medical services, but it seems like by the time I am old and in constant need, the unsustainability will have come home to roost.

That's part of the issue though...why are you thinking it's 100 yards of paving? They can't do it just in front of his house.

This is not why the older generation has more sway. Calling just means talking to an intern who will read you the boilerplate, and then mark down a for/against tally if you're lucky. Most of them don't even care about that since they're ideological motivated rather than caring what constituents think.

If you want to have a meaningful conversation that might result in this changing, you will have to do that in each of the groups you subscribe to. Posting in mildlyinfuriating isn't going to stop memes elsewhere.

The regressive playbook is to make everything the responsibility of "the family" because they don't want government telling them they can't abuse their kids.

When that is accomplished, suddenly it will be acceptable for government to force families to do (or not) certain things. We are seeing the beginning ramp up here.

Either you have human rights or you don't. Your parents having the right to curtail your rights means that they aren't universal, and the government can and will be involved again once you gut enough oversight.

They're telling you that it isn't written to require criminal guilt determined by a court.

The entire south seceded. Those people were not tried, and in fact were given blanket pardons. But they still couldn't hold office again.

This is a political process. It will be political, same as an impeachment.

And his remedy is a two thirds vote qualifying him.

I'm not sure that hypocrisy has ever stopped world leaders who have money on the line.

No. There is some legal theorizing that it does, and there have been people who refused pardons because they didn't want the appearance of accepting guilt. But legally speaking, accepting the pardon wouldn't change anything about the situation.

20-25% of the country, max. And it's the same 20-25% that has voted wannabe dictators into office this whole time.

40% is based on his polling with republicans and assuming they make up a full half of the electorate. They do not. 50% don't usually vote, so you have to basically halve any percentage when it's just d vs r.
