    Yeah. That's how population growth is...

    It'll be newsworthy when total votes/voters go down over time, this is like being surprised 12:30 pm happens after noon everyday.

    They've been lying about this for pretty much all of modern history.

    The Civil War wasn't because the North wanted to outlaw slavery in the south, it's because the south wanted the federal government to treat Black people in the North as escaped slaves and capture them to be sent to the south.

    You can't negotiate with fascists for the same reason you couldnt just let Hitler have Poland, we can just let Israel have Gaza, or we can't just let have Putin have Ukraine.

    It doesn't matter what they ask for now. If they ever get it then they immediately started the process again with something else. You have to draw a line somewhere to stop them

    The president can order agencies to reschedule it, which makes it defacto legal in a lot of states, and means federal employees in states where it's legal can use, including military.

    She should do that asap, because the fight to actually legalize is a lot harder.

    I don't want to see her say it needs to be legalized and then refuse to take any step thats not the hardest

    Sheep breeds that are not allowed in Montana were brought into the state as part of the conspiracy, including 43 sheep from Texas, prosecutors said.

    Dude sold to "trophy hunters" and brought in animals that will outcompete and replace native species.

    It's a pretty big deal ecologically, and was done for just about the worst reasons

    And it wasn't even super unique sheep, it was a couple states away

    Also unsure how much "cloning" went into pulling sperm off removed testicles...

    In October 2019, court records said, Schubarth paid a hunting guide $400 for the testicles of a trophy-sized Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep that had been harvested in Montana and then extracted and sold the semen, court records said.

    Back in the day everytime we swatted a bounce in beer pong, we screamed Mutombo as loud as possible.

    This is just self proclaimed labels...

    So it makes sense we'd see 50% "moderate" and then around 25% for the other two:

    Reality check: The youngest age group still appears to favor liberal positions on some issues as much as those ages 25 to 29, Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Youth Poll, noted.

    In a poll earlier this year, the younger group was just as likely to say basic health insurance is a human right and government should spend more to reduce poverty.

    They're still progressive on issues.

    Sounds like the article is a little confused, or this is brand new stuff, which is possible.

    The comments about wanting to murder people that I knew about came him and a friend filming Black people leaving a cvs and them "knowing" they were all shoplifters and wanting to kill them for it. They'd just go sit outside drug stores because of propaganda and "filming subjects".

    There was also the video where he tried to jump a younger girl and when 3 black guys (his age) yelled at him not to hit a young girl. He immediately fell to the ground in a fetal position and started crying and begging, literally that was his reaction to being told not to beat a young girl.

    Those two examples together showed he didn't have the same basic reactions to a situation any normal human would have. And that he can't properly identify risks.

    I do hope any alien person or anyone for that matter change from being in the wrong, to not be totalitarian and instead be decentralized to ensure each other’s well being

    I mean, we will anyways...

    Biden broke Trump's fossil fuel production record, and Harris cast the tiebreaking vote for fracking.

    Just because trump would be worse, doesn't mean we should ignore the last four years was worse than Trump's in this area too. If shit gets worse no matter what we do, the least we can do is make noise about it.

    Pretending trump is the only issue doesn't help

    “The American people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games,” Harris plans to say, according to an excerpt of her remarks previewed by her campaign.

    After the immigration legislation stalled, the Biden administration announced rules that bar migrants from being granted asylum when U.S. officials deem that the southern border is overwhelmed. Since then, arrests for illegal border crossings have fallen.

    It might be what a plurality of Americans want, but not if we narrow it down to anyone that would ever vote D.

    Some did, but the whole point of Israel was a place for European countries to send their Jewish populations.

    People who even if they were also ethnically Semitic, were descended from people who voluntarily left the area generations ago.

    They could have immigrated there, instead European governments just declared it was theirs now.

    Like, imagine if every American with Irish heritage were granted birthright citizenship there and the people who never left are shoved down into an ever shrinking slice of land. That's what's happening

    >India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data. >The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.

    The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2. The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.
