That’s false. Judge Merchan elected to commute Trump’s sentence. They previously determined that the SCOTUS ruling for presidential immunity did not apply to the criminal business fraud case. His actions were not determined to be “official acts of the office of the president.”

Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.

You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

Agreed. You may enjoy this too. https://youtu.be/WOSqCjMRXWA

So you have no advice, only condemnation. Thanks for wasting my time. Good luck complaining the government into submission.

Your entire comment is based on your projection of a peaceful surrender. I don’t think you understand how to debate. I’m stating that peaceful resistance has successfully grown our numbers from a few hundred thousand to ~10M in four months. You are challenging that method. Propose a better method to mobilize tens of millions of citizens and you’ll have my attention. Otherwise, you’re just writing noise.

So you think it makes sense to bring violence and provoke that step before we have the numbers we need for a successful resistance, rather than continuing to grow our numbers under our legal protections?

Do you see how your argument makes no sense?

They’re not patriots, they’re nationalists.

It can if your target demographic has been consistently consuming lead and avoiding therapy for their entire lives.

It shouldn’t be. They want a king.

Then why haven’t we been arrested for protesting yet? Oh, right, because it’s still protected.

Maybe you should talk to a therapist about those big feelings instead of typing all caps and name-calling.

Yes. I’ve cited sources, provided facts, and quoted statistics. You’ve repeatedly used inflammatory language to share your feelings. How could you possibly think your argument is credible based on emotion. Provide documentation refuting my claim of peaceful protests being an effective engagement system to grow our numbers and I’ll reconsider my stance, but not before.

Provide a source contradicting my claim. That’s how adults debate. Your comment is childish banter.

What about growing numbers is confusing to you? 10M people is ~2% of our nation. We couldn’t collectively get anything done, yet. We’re growing a resistance through organized protests.

You clearly haven’t read enough on the topic. Do some research and then we can talk. Until then, your opinion is woefully uninformed.

So because you believe something will happen, we should lead a small, unsuccessful, violent revolution to ensure that it does happen?

How about you keep your big feelings to yourself while the people who have successfully grown a resistance from a few hundred thousand to ~10M in four months continue to successfully plan and execute a real resistance.

No, he didn’t. He wrote an executive order. That’s not a law. It’s a directive to the executive branch, and we are in no way obligated to follow it as citizens.

SCOTUS ruled that a district judge cannot impose a nationwide injunction against the executive order. Each judge will now have to rule on the case of birthright citizenship independently. The 14th amendment is very clear.

Well before these poor people succumb to a horrific death by a natural disaster, they will be perpetually feasted on by the trillions of mosquitoes in the Everglades.

Allegations Auschwitz will completely destroy the people unfortunate enough to survive.

Absolutely. It’s far more likely with a fork, but deep enough or well placed scratches/gouges on a spoon could create the condition.

It also depends on the condition of the nickel plating. Scratched up cheap stainless would probably arc.

The population is, sure. The important thing to remember is that a violent resistance will always be smaller than a peaceful one, and the current size of our peaceful resistance is too small for a violent resistance to succeed.
