A child cannot consent so…

Embezzlement isn’t as much of a concern, I don’t think. Considering how much trump has been funneling into his own coffers

I’d say they’re experiencing being doom guy but that’s just a guess

I assumed it was more that she brought him into it by name dropping him instead of letting him have the first word on it

I actually have. My mother in law fell for the con hook, line, and sinker. Repeating Sinclair network talking points and dismissing verifiable evidence that goes against her worldview.

Her main thing was “there’s men in women’s sports!!1!” Which …ya know, is not an actual issue like the Commander in Chief blatantly ignoring the law, raping people*, and blackmailing other officials.

*There is no evidence publicly available that he is currently raping people but he has a long history of it and there’s no evidence he’s stopped.

I try to but they do make it difficult

It bothers Regan

I like blaming LBJ’s admin then Regan’s. It’s not the start of the problem but it’s closer to it

Oh absolutely. It’s definitely both

The least trustworthy dinosaurs are those found around water. Tasty though

Can’t evolve out of a clade and all that jazz

I for one identify as a hagfish

That’s…how you check for prostate cancer

So are we just ignoring the take that this looks very much like extortion or is that just so obvious it’s not worth talking about

I think it’s the 18 that’ll turn away some

A group designed to raise money for a candidate is not allowed. Anyone who uses that money forfeits their campaign.

I thought I covered that

The best a PAC could do would be to flood the common coffer. Which means every candidate benefits up to the maximum allowable.

The numbers I gave were purely for example sake. I’m thinking total maximum as a function of the place to be governed overs median salary or gdp. Idk. Something tied to the areas economic and social health to incentivise improving the average person’s lot in life instead of the richest few

Easy step we can do. No contributions to individuals running for an office. Any money goes to a common fund that is distributed amongst the candidates. Equally. With a maximum amount per person correlated to the number of parties involved in the election.

Example: mayoral race with 2 parties and a fund of $500,000. Each person receives 250,000 for their campaign.

Same race but with $1,000,000 in the fund? That’s right. Each member gets 300,000 to use.

3 parties involved with that 1M fund? 333,000 per person but goes to 500,000 when the funds available allow for it

Catch: all donations go to this fund and all money used from this fund must be accounted for. Anyone found to be using their own money or any donations that did not come from the fund constitutes an automatic forfeiture of their campaign and any unspent money of their allotted amount gets returned to the funds.

Said returned funds do not get distributed to the other campaigns.

Any unused money of the fund at the end of the election is used by civil services budgets.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

John 2:15 - And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;

Basically: when young, God and Jesus loves you. As I get older, I’m not above whipping and flipping tables at people who continue to use the religion as an excuse to hurt and subjugate others.

Growing up, I was always told to remember John 3:16. As I get older, I become more and more partial to John 2:15.

Nz was a thought but we’re looking at Canada. Our skill sets make it a smoother process for entry and it’s not as much of a logistics issue
