  • What a fucking idiotic take.

    The right are actively trying to suppress voting and remove constitutional rights. They’re supporting a pedophile, supporting abhorrent spending, supporting war crimes (in the Caribbean, Venezuela, and the Middle East), abandoning our allies, and embracing the rich and the corruption that enables them. They’re attacking women, healthcare, education, and the scientific method.

    These policies don’t take root without the support Republican Voters. Their stupidity does not absolve their responsibility.

    Is there some class warfare going on? Sure. Should you still be differentiating between the Right and Left… Abso-fucking-lotely.

    By all means, call out the those on the left who are choosing billionaires over voters or are supporting policies that harm the general public, but they are by far the secondary priority.




  • Utility engineer here.

    Find a new contractor, yours is working with the tools they have have, but a specialist will be able to cut the roots that have infiltrated the pipe, then run a structural epoxy liner through the old one (called CIPP).

    Tree roots look for oxygen, so once you have a solid cured in place pipe, they’ll grow around it instead of trying to intrude.










  • The court said the old laws focused on people whose substance abuse left them unable to manage their lives, while the federal law broadly covered regular drug users regardless of whether they posed a threat to anyone.

     

    “It’s a good day for the Second Amendment when all nine justices can agree to protect gun rights,” Severino said. "The mere fact of illegal drug use, without more, isn’t enough to justify prosecution for gun ownership. Historically, ‘habitual drunkards’ who habitually lost use of their reason could have their rights restricted, but not just regular drinkers — even including Founding Fathers like John Adams, who drank ‘a tankard of hard cider’ with breakfast, or James Madison, who ‘consumed a pint of whisky daily.’

    Seems like an incredibly reasonable take.
