No updates in several years so it’s stuck in 2020. May be good, may have vulnerabilities as a result.

DC has a local criminal code.

Because as important as it is to deplatform these idiots, we also need to know what they’re doing. They’re still going to be out there actively radicalizing people and you can’t fight this shit if you don’t know it exists.

Pretty caucasius of you.

Well, you, for a start.

Being pedantic, but air usually contains water vapor, though not much.

They’re also frequently propped open worldwide to handle gate checked bags.

Most people, let alone voters, don’t actually watch or read any actual reporting regardless of bias. They get news through content-creators, so it’s all bite-sized with all critical thinking removed.

But they still probably use buses on occasion. Also, it’s not exactly hard for a passenger to step through the little doors to the stairs at the end of the jetway, chuck a coin, then continue boarding.

538 had her going into the election with a 70% chance of winning the electoral college. Nate Silver also went on multiple shows basically doing everything he could to get people to understand that meant 3 out of 10 times she loses.

Just to explain why, not to take from your broader point, it’s because he’s not of the people being harmed. Typically this form of protest is done by those being harmed.

Hate crimes and hate speech are two different, but related, things, so I understand your confusion. You cannot be prosecuted for hate speech, because that is a government infringement on your liberties. They can prosecute you if the hate speech intentionally incites violence, because that is not protected speech. The hate speech can also inform intent to turn another crime into a hate crime.

It’s about a global trend, not just the US. This Buzzfeed piece has a decent breakdown of it, since the originals are largely paywalled. I agree as well, it’s way too early to tell what the generation will be like.

Ironically, the current trend is Gen Z cis men are becoming more conservative, Gen Z women are fairly liberal, and Millenials across the board are generally becoming more liberal as they age.

No, people like that drink their right wing Flavor Aid and assume the talking points reflect reality. The person everyone is arguing with also believes that rent will come down if Starbucks employees leave, ignoring both the actual price fixing scheme in the rental market and the fact that prices keep being driven up by external factors unrelated to the labor and consumer markets in San Francisco.

Since there’s nothing to appeal (he won and it wasn’t filed), ethics investigation into the special prosecutor based on language used in the report. Maybe it comes back that these are all legitimate conclusions based on verifiable evidence, maybe it comes back that it’s hyperbole to score political points, which is not officially permitted in an investigation. Biden will probably not pursue it further because the only win now is to make it go away, adding an investigation could seem like whinging and keep it in the public eye leading up to the election.

In solidarity.

I’m actually curious how you’d even do it logistically. There’s like three separate sets of people minimum for the tests, a whole anonymous grading system you’d have to game somehow and for that I’m pretty sure the person grading doesn’t know the number of the paper they’re grading, and then the actual admissions committee. I guess you could just bribe the admissions committee and have them fake a result but, again, there’s a separate national multistate test whose results get factored in. Maybe pay someone to take the test for you but the chances they get caught are…medium.

The more I think about it, it’s actually easier to just memorize law and pass the bar.

1 and 2 are more likely. It’s pretty damn hard to bribe your way past the bar, you’d have to pay a lot of people and trust none of them care about their careers or potentially getting prosecuted.

Okay, so obviously it has to come from the top officially. Unofficially, in the DC area, which is the region where I have personal knowledge of what happened, it was local pressure. The administration probably got the same nationally, hence the universal decision.

Edit: Plus, as the article says, OPM was willing to let agencies do whatever they want. The Biden administration got involved as Republicans introduced legislation to force RTO. So I guess I missed that part of it.
