^^^ Intel chief releases Russian disinfo on Hillary Clinton that was rejected by bipartisan Senate panel. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/29/john-ratcliffe-hillary-clinton-russia-423022

I'm not sure what kind of point you are trying to make. Are you suggesting that if they didn't die it wasn't cruel and unusual?

^^^ As I said, it was Arpaio who called it a concentration camp. Regardless, holding people in tents in the middle of the summer in Arizona certainly fits the description of cruel and unusual punishment. You haven't convinced me that he's not a racist POS.

Your selective outrage is getting old winex. And for the record, it was Arpaio himself who called his tent city a concentration camp. He was/is a POS.

So law and order is selective on your part winex? https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/human-plights-6422730

^^^ so anything short of gas chambers is okay in your book. Good to know. https://www.npr.org/2011/12/15/143765355/probe-finds-arizona-sheriff-violated-civil-rights http://sonorannews.com/2017/04/06/joe-arpaio-tent-city-jail-closure-fuels-talk-human-rights-social-justice/

And here I thought you were all about law and order. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/us/federal-judge-finds-violations-of-rights-by-sheriff-joe-arpaio.html https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/aug/21/arizona-phoenix-concentration-camp-tent-city-jail-joe-arpaio-immigration

^^^ I guess if you can overlook the racial profiling and human rights violations, Arpaio was a swell guy.

Get back to us in about 3 weeks.

^^^ San Diego does have different rules for their topless and nude clubs, at least the time I was at either they did. Topless had the tip walks.

^^^ I guess that is why every neo-nazi and white supremacist group in the state identifies and votes with the Republican Party huh? And don’t get me started on the likes of Joe Arpaio and Russell Pearce.

Random, Arizona does have it's share, I won't deny that, but having lived here for 30+ years I think it has actually improved over the past decade or so. It probably doesn't seem that way because the fringe are very far right and get a lot of publicity. Arizona is very purple at this point.

The only clubs I have been to with a tip walk were in San Diego. Girl dances on stage, then walks around the room to collect tips for her stage set. Annoying as fuck.

There’s racism and racists everywhere. Not just Arizona.

^ no idea

winex, I have idea what you said or in what context. Don’t involve me in your drama.

You see what you’ve unleashed Founder.

Trump’s whole strategy appears to be to get the racist vote. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-white-supremacy-racehorse-theory-1064928/

The echo is really loud in this thread.

This is what makes it unique: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” --Mitch McConnell, February 2016

Eli Mystal lays out the benefits of an expanded court quite well in this link. https://crooksandliars.com/2020/09/elie-mystal-if-mitch-mcconnell-can-do-it

Did it not go from 9 to 8 for a year? If not longer? The court needs reform anyways, expanding it would be a good way to take the politics out of it. https://time.com/5338689/supreme-court-packing/

There is nothing in the constitution that forbids changing the size of the supreme court. McConnell changed the court to 8 justices for a year and none of you clowns objected. Personally, I would prefer a tyranny of the majority over a tyranny of the minority any day. https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/tyranny-of-the-minority

^^^^ He wasn’t too lazy to fill them, they were blocked and obstructed by MCConnell, which is why Reid removed the filibuster on those court positions.
