US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

The three-judge district court panel agreed, writing, "Federal courts’ failure to protect marginalized voters’ constitutional rights will only increase the citizenry’s growing disenchantment with, and disillusionment in, our democracy, further weaken our democratic institutions, and threaten the credibility of the judicial branch"

I'm guessing the "Federal courts" thing is why they're overturning.

but if the lower court has no jurisdiction either, why did the ruling get kicked back down to them?

i found the GOP candidate for 2024:

Gene Gorelik, a property developer in Oakland and an aggressive critic of the homeless, recently suggested luring the thousands of homeless people in the San Francisco Bay Area onto party buses stocked with alcohol and sending them on a one-way trip to Mexico. “Refugee camps in Syria are cleaner than this,” he said in an interview at a fast-food restaurant in Oakland that overlooks a homeless encampment.

...Although rarely as coarsely as Mr. Gorelik — who made headlines recently when he tried to shower a homeless encampment in Oakland with dollar bills to persuade those living in tents to move elsewhere — residents say they have found themselves weighing concerns for the less fortunate against disruptions to their own quality of life.

...Few have been more outspoken about the homeless than Mr. Gorelik, the property developer. “Compassion is counterproductive,” he said, adding that services for the homeless only encourage homelessness to flourish. Charities in California provide food, clothing and tents to homeless people. California cities also provide many services. But shelter is more elusive in the state, where more than two-thirds of the homeless live outdoors, compared with 5 percent in New York.

...Mr. Gorelik said he saw a connection between the 90 homeless encampments in Oakland and crime. His construction sites have been burglarized nine times, he said, and his car has been broken into twice.

if the SC says this isn't under their jurisdiction, why are they overturning a lower ruling?

the lower court is a federal court and its ruling asserted such jurisdiction. since the SCOTUS has ruled such jurisdiction does not exist for any federal court, it vacated the lower court ruling.

why did the ruling get kicked back down to them?

procedural move. the case was accepted prior to the new SCOTUS ruling and must be reconsidered in light of that ruling, which means automatic failure unless a wholly new constitutional theory is raised that was not addressed by the SCOTUS ruling. court procedures can seem very weird, but they are very thorough.

ah got it

btw Sunday NY Times op section had a long piece detailing our "gerontocracy" if you want the gory details... the electorate is the oldest it's been since at least 1970. Also the Latin root of "senator" means "old man."

senescence etc

Senescator Schumer

We're riding on the senescator of life
We're shopping in the human mall
We're dancing on the senescator of life
Won't be happy till we have it all

These are all real quotes from the pool report filed just moments ago.

On whistleblower:
“Do we have to protect a whistleblower who gives a false account? I don’t know. You tell me.”
“It’s possibly Schiff.”
“Why didn’t he say he met with the whistleblower.”

“I’m trying to get out of wars. We may have to get in wars, too.”
“I have to fight off these lowlifes at the same time I’m negotiating these deals.”

Will you send troops home?
“Sending them home”
“That was our largest cheer in Dallas,” during rally
“I send many letters home to parents.”
“We have tremendous economic power…much better in a certain way [than playing with guns]

Doral
“I own a property in Florida”
“I would have given it for nothing.”
Touts giving up salary, says probably only George Washington did that, not Obama
“I’m very good a real estate.”
“Everyone in the G-7 would have had their own building.”
Security, next to Miami airport
“The Democrats went crazy, even though I would have done it free.”
Not for promotion, but no
“I don’t need promotion. I don’t need promotion.”
“It would have been the best G-7 ever.”
Washington ran business at the same time he was president
“Obama made a deal for a book. Did he run a business?”
“He has a deal with Netflix. When did they start talking about that?”
“You people with this phony Emoluments Clause”
Actually losing money
It’s cost me “between $2 billion and $5 billion”
Would do it again
“If you’re rich, it doesn’t matter.”
At rallies, sending records every place he’s been
“I can set a world record for somebody without a guitar.”

North Korea
“If somebody else became president with that mindset they had, right now you’d have war with North Korea.”
N. Korea would not take Obama’s call

On Doral:
“Well look at other locations.”
“I don’t think it will be as good.”

Will you be impeached?
“I think they want to.”
“Why would they want to impeach me? It’s so illegitimate.”
Mocks Rep. Al Green

could someone just break the Grifter's jaw? having to eat pudding for a week wd probably kill him.

so many thread titles

lol @ “You people with this phony Emoluments Clause”

So many thread titles... but “You people with this phony Emoluments Clause” is my pick.

lol xp!

just heard an audio clip not rep'd above. "WE helped the Kurds. NOT Obama. US.... No angels."

"“If you’re rich, it doesn’t matter."

he's fond of this one

Can't believe that in this insane gun-happy country nobody has taken a pop at this guy.

xpost i mean, say what you will about the guy but he's spent a lifetime studying what you can get away with. i'm inclined to trust his expertise in the field.

xpost He doesn't really go anywhere besides rallies and his own properties, right? Both seem to be the least likely places for someone to give it a shot (so to speak).

Can't believe that in this insane gun-happy country nobody has taken a pop at this guy.

it is essentially impossible for a private citizen w a gun to get anywhere near the president tbh and its been this way since Reagan

Jacob Wohl & Jack Burkman are doing another press conference, this time to accuse Ted Cruz of being a swinger ?? Milo is there for some reason. Pretty much everything they're saying is getting drowned out by a guitar player & several people blowing airhorns

xp - Sounds to me like illegal interference in a citizen's right to bear arms.

lady is now going on about Cruz's inability to get a boner

lol Huckleberry

After spending a week railing against President Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria, abandoning America’s Kurdish allies and opening the door for Turkey’s deadly invasion, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Sunday that he now supports the move.

“I’m increasingly optimistic this could turn out very well,” Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. “I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions in Syria that have eluded us for years, if we play our cards right.”

Graham said he spoke with Trump over the weekend and that the president assured him the United States is not abandoning the Kurds, who suffered 10,000 killed in fighting against ISIS terrorists. (The United States, which supported the Kurds with arms and a relatively small contingent of special operations forces, lost eight lives in the five-year battle, Graham noted.)

lmao "MILO ARE YOU TWEETING RIGHT NOW!???" *honk honk honk honk*

this is so great

if we play our cards right.

Poor choice of words given the guy doing the playing owned casinos that lost money.

While at Harvard, Zuckerberg developed the now omnipresent social media platform, originally just for Harvard students. Buttigieg was one of Facebook's first 300 users.

huh!

That's why I had to go with Buttigieg69

lady is now going on about Cruz's inability to get a boner

excuse me this is slander, she only says he couldn't get a boner 80% of the time, and only because his wife's body was too flabby. please honour and respect Ted for using a penis pump those 4/5 times.

also lol that like the last stooge, she can't read the fake statement

That Wohl video had me in tears, I am pretty juvenile to be honest. “Donuts were thrown.”

Kind of surprised that Cruz hasn't managed to die in a bizarre penis pump accident.

that petri article is the greatest thing

World-renowned comedian Pierre Delecto was at the microphone, and by audience acclaim, he had extended his set from five minutes to 30. “Do you know why they serve eggs Benedict in hubcaps?” Pierre asked. “WHY?” a woman in the audience shouted. “TELL US, PIERRE! YOU’VE GOT TO TELL US!” “Because there’s no place like chrome for the hollandaise!” Pierre cried.

not usually a fan of Petri but that is v good

yes FBCLID

you're allowed to read your own posts before you post them btw

that petri article mostly makes me wish kaleb horton was still writing regularly somewhere

Kaleb's doing good with his current work, and feeling a lot less frustrated.

AAAAAAA

Romney tells NBC that “Pierre Delecto” means “pure delight" ... in case you were wondering. https://t.co/GMcbuqiySf

Liddle' Marco getting ratio'd hard

I understand the anger of Kurds who face threats & attacks from Turkish forces.

But U.S. troops don’t deserve insults,they deserve gratitude & praise.

They didn’t make the decision to leave,they were ordered to.

And they risked their lives far away from their homes & families. https://t.co/24N3hDIKb1
