It's populism. You have to see if someone's policy positions are consistent over time, that they have a specific ideal they are following, vs what they think is the most popular policies.
Granted, it's a huge pain with new politicians when they don't have that history, but I think Tulsi had a pretty clear history that showed she wasn't progressive.
I wouldn't recommend this if you fly very frequently, but you can take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen at the start of the flight / part way though and it should be active around the time you start getting sore.
Yea, as a sort of reverse tax credit, it would be interesting. But as a profit driver, it's nice and dystopian.
It's called a "faithless elector" and what happens depends on the law of the state the elector is representing. Some states void the vote without penalty, some void it with some penalty, some allow the vote but with penalty, some allow the vote with no penalty, and some have no law at all (which seems like no difference from allowing with no penalty).
It's entirely conceivable that enough faithless electors from states that do not void the vote could swing an election, though there's never been enough to do so before.
Basically the difference between being legally supported as opposed to simply not illegal.
South Africa recognizes same sex marriages, where-as the other places allow same sex relationships legally, but don't recognize the marriages.
There's also significant input from American Evangelicals contributing to these laws. For instance, Scott Lively an evangelical anti-gay activist, helped push for Uganda to penalize same-sex relationships with the death penalty. And Islam only makes up 13.7% of Uganda.
I'm usually fine giving the benefit of the doubt, but this comment was in direct response to a scene from the show that was absolutely blatant, so they had to wilfully ignore that.
I saw someone complaining that the old X-men show was at least subtle and not in your face about how it approached social issues.
This was in response to a clip from the old X-men show of a bunch of anti-mutant brownshirts in armbands getting mad that a filthy mutant was touching a human woman.
I think it's safe to say that person was not arguing in good faith.
You're moving goalposts here. You said millions of Russians would die if Ukraine was given aid and I asked how you determined that number. By the same token, Russia should simply surrender.
Because the millions for Ukraine accounts for civilian casualties, not purely military. For anything similar Ukraine would have to counter invade Russia and launch artillery at residential areas.
Even if we assume the worst of Ukraine's intent, they wouldn't have the capability to go beyond securing their borders.
How did you come to the calculation of millions of Russians?
It's called Morgan's Wonderland. The father's company has also built a community center next to the park.
