As long as slander laws exist, this will continue to be true. You can't be conservative and honest. It's just not physically possible.

In 2014, lawmakers passed laws to weaken protection for wetlands, which can help reduce flood damage by absorbing excess rainfall, according to Brooks Rainey Pearson, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center.
Three years later, the legislature made it easier for developers to pave green spaces, increasing the risk of flooding caused by heavy rains, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center. Mr. Millis, of the home builders association, said that “storm water is heavily regulated in North Carolina.”
Last year, efforts by Republican lawmakers to ease the state’s building codes erupted into open confrontation with Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat.
The legislature passed a law that blocked the state from adopting new building codes until 2031. The law also included smaller changes, such as preventing local building inspectors from ensuring that home builders correctly install protective sheathing on homes exposed to winds of 140 miles per hour or less.
Governor Cooper vetoed the bill, saying it would “wipe out years of work to make homes safer.” But Republicans overrode his veto.
Republicans vs making the world worth living in.

I wonder how many of those who complain about "Jewish space lasers" will suddenly want to vote against this?

If Nintendo actually gave a shit about their customers, they'd release all their games on GOG. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Nintendo are control freaks. They want nothing more than to have their own official "security" guards watching over everyone's shoulder, finger on the trigger of their shotgun, as they make sure you play their games (not your games) in the Nintendo-approved way of playing their games.

I feel like it's important to note that eating, breathing, and having a fun time with friends are all very LGBTQ+ activities! #woke

He has since doubled-down on that bullshit by stating:
With elections, there are consequences. That being said…I believe that those who vote for individuals with liberal policies have to accept responsibility for their actions!
In other words, he knows that he's instigating riots and genocide, and he's not going to apologize for it.

That's okay, because I'm positive that they've already been blaming that shit on Democrats the way they do everything.
Trump voters are like a man who smashes his own fingers with a hammer and then screams at you to stop making him do that to himself. They are just deranged morons driven by ignorance and hate.

To use a Fox "news" template to describe this:
Newsmax unsurprisingly chose to settle its case with Smartmatic on the eve of trial after a series of major setbacks devastated its case. Fox’s claims against Smartmatic are similarly impaired, unsupported by the facts and intended to destroy our democratic freedoms. We look forward to Smartmatic getting a similar settlement out of Fox.

His only motive was to steal the election. That was obvious to EVERYONE. The only distinction between us and his defenders is that they also wanted to steal the election from us and thought we were too stupid to notice.

Elissa Barr, a professor of public health at the University of North Florida and a member of the sex ed advocacy group Florida Healthy Youth Alliance, has been keeping in touch with local school officials and compiling a list of words and phrases they’ve been told to remove from their reproductive health plans.
These words include abuse, consent, domestic violence, fluids, gender identity and LGBTQ information, she said.
Nazi assholes sure do love burning books, don't they?
They also love removing any consideration of consent. That word does make it difficult for them to continue raping children.
I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates." So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right? Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again. Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF? How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
