Switched to an alt to shill some more?


Why does this feel like Buc-ee’s decided to try and cash in on MAGA appeal. Wonder how that will work out long term.



The only time I’ve visited a 7-11 was on vacation in Virginia Beach and this was my exact experience.
Why is it not surprising a shill for the wealthy gets combative and resorts to insults?


No, it doesn’t, but I don’t really understand your point.
Agency generally means the capacity of a living being to act independently, make choices, and influence their environment.
A minor child has little agency to begin with in an abuse situation and indifference of the legal system strips away even that little bit.


Does it really? Sure seems like the highest court in the land disagrees.
And before you start arguing that’s only been under Trump go all the way back to Dred Scott v. Sandford, which denied citizenship to African Americans, and Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine.
Both of those are great examples of SCOTUS ruling in opposition to the Constitution.
The wealthiest person in America in the 1950s was JP Getty.
His worth was about $1 billion. Which would equate to $13.86 billion today.
- There were way more deductions available. Basically, nobody ever paid any taxes at such a high rate.
Ok, maybe, I’d be interested in seeing a source on this, but what qualified them for those deductions? Dumping huge sums of money back into the country and the community? There was a time the wealthy built libraries and parks and voluntarily gave some back.
- The primary reason for the post-war “golden age” that MAGA waxes nostalgia about is because almost the entire manufacturing sector of most European countries was wiped out. By comparison, the US was almost fully intact, and had a massive new base of workers trained in manufacturing. We went from a nation of farmers to a nation of city-dwelling industrialists almost overnight.
Not at all accurate. Yes, much manufacturing has left because it’s cheaper to off shore it to developing nations, but America isn’t less prosperous now. That prosperity has just been consolidated to the top 1% more and more.


If this treatment is legal in Idaho then they do not have agency.


the child’s rights supersede a parents right to do whatever they want
withto their kids.
It’s pedantic but children have no agency, what is being done in Idaho is being done to children.


Not a uniquely American problem:

Might make more sense for people across the globe to support each other against right-wing extremism rather than tear each other down and point fingers.
But you do you, I guess…


The cowards can’t even put their names behind it.


Even Iran doesn’t want those states.
I know this is a joke but it’s more likely you’d be a US National, similar to if you were born in American Samoa or Swains Island.
Yes, just a few things:
My great-great-grandfather’s portrait, bayonet and a copy of his discharge papers from his Civil War service.
The flag from my grandfather’s coffin.
There are things I’d like to have/keep in the family when my parents pass.


I’m willing to bet that the BBC will PAY Trump money at the end of this
I’ll take your bet. What do you want to wager?


Eventually the court can authorize alternate means of service. Examples could be physically posting a copy to the door of the defendant’s last known address, electronically posting to the court’s website, publishing a notice in a newspaper, first class and/or certified mail, social media account or email.
Not really, no.
Let’s say your name is John and for 200+ years everybody called you John. Then, along came a person we’ll call Captain Kiddiefucker.
Now Captain Kiddiefucker is a moron who wields significant power and directs everyone who’s too chickenshit to stand up to him that they should start calling you Guy.
Your name is still John, except now you have the advantage of easily recognizing Captain Kiddiefucker and his cult of pedophiles and idiots because they’ll all call you Guy.
That’s basically what this EO does.
