Col3814444 OP , in Biden Is Wrong. The Supreme Court Is Already “Politicized.”

What is the worst Republicans can do if the Dems did expand the court? Expand it further?

I can only imagine such a thing would lead to better and fairer results

Maybe have the new justices vote on some sort of involuntary, non dis-chargeable, clear language, ethical code that everyone who joins signs? Maybe mandatory minimum sentences if they break it?

I’d bet $1 on Trump winning the next election and then expanding the court. Just think about whatever the worst likely scenario is; that’s also the most probable. The Republicants have spent 30 years de-educating and numbing America.

Booty Judge is gay but doesn't lean into it. DeSantis is straight but is absolutely terrible at it.

@Col3814444 who's surprised? :(

You first, chumpy.

Ironbeagle , in New, Conservative Push To Weaken Child Labor Protections Is Gaining Steam

America really if in a race to the bottom. I'm afraid to see how low they can go.

paulbain , in Trump Threatens to Appoint ‘Maybe Even Nine’ Supreme Court Justices if Elected

Uhm, liberals, if you a left-wing-extremist echo chamber, then why not just go back to Reddit?? If I have to read this sort of crap every danged day, then I shall simply go back to either ZeroHedge.com or www.Patriots.win.

aeternum , in Ron DeSantis’ pastor says gay people should be “put to death”

What about homosexual non-human animals? Should they be put to death too? Fuck this guy so hard.

My point is that homosexual is natural and happens in the animal kingdom of all varieties of animals.

chatterbox , in Trump indictment "getting closer" after Giuliani interview—Watergate lawyer

I want nothing more than to see Rudy's deposition or on the stand. I can only imagine him popping another leak and farting out loud when pressed during questioning.

I dunno. Trump could probably try to go to Russia or the Saudis…

I would post a link to the tweet, but that doesn’t work anymore since Elon is a prick.

Col3814444 , in The court dealt a resounding setback to President Biden.

If only they could reverse the PPP loan forgiveness, threaten that and these corrupt shitbirds would back down in seconds.

delirium , in Extremist brains perform poorly in complex mental tasks and analysis shows that

while I believe the headline, the science is biased.

the science is biased.

How so?

delirium ,

"extremist" ≠ conservative. and I assumed that they were representing the study accurately. but I likely that It's just the reporting that's biased.

Zippythezigzag ,

Thats not biased. It just means a lot of us liberals have adhd.

What a pisspoor title.

Politically conservative individuals exhibited decreased strategic information gathering, increased caution of response in perceptual decision-making paradigms, and demonstrated an aversion to social risk-taking.

Participants with liberal convictions, on the other hand, were more likely to follow quicker and less reliable perceptual techniques, showing less caution in cognitive tasks.

Similar to the conservative community, individuals with religious beliefs reflected increased caution and decreased processing of strategic information in the cognitive domain, along with increased agreeability, perception of danger, and aversion to social risk-taking.

Without diving more deeply (lol no link to the actual studies), I expect them to have absolutely nothing coherent for their definitions of "conservative", "liberal", and "religious". Probably "radical" too.

What they mean is, people who score far from the center on some bullshit political compass test they came up with do so in common ways. And like, no shit? Your test sorts people by how they think, it's not breaking news that how they think is different. Actual begging the question.

Exactly. Where in the article does it say that? And without the link to the study, this screams clickbait fake (or poorly based on a real study), poorly written article made just for the purpose of pulling people to the ads on the site. Did anyone else see the endlessly scrolling ads?

Assuming that Sanders isn't long for this world, I really hope we don't lose her.

@kingthrillgore@kbin.social avatar

I want to point out the SCOTUS judges who are doing the most hurt are those appointed by presidents who never got the popular vote. In essence, we are being ruled by tyrrany of the minority.
