Any attempts to stop this by legislation will have to be at the Federal level and enforcement will need to go through the FTC, and possibly the FCC. This is clearly an Interstate Commerce issue, and trying to deal with it one state at a time is simply a waste of time and money.

Just do what I do: I tell them I'm deaf and am having trouble understanding them even with my hearing aids. Of course, in my case it's true. I've only had a very few people refuse to speak more clearly and/or a little slower when I tell them that.

No, the character after Z is Yuzz. And there are nineteen more letters after that.

Making things even worse we now see MAGA flexing another muscle here to exert force on America; they are getting people all over the country fired for daring to express a non-MAGA-endorsed opinion of the matter. Yesterday ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely for stating a few days ago that we didn't know the politics of the shooter. How dare he suggest that the shooter might not be the left-wing devil that MAGA insists him to be!

There are endless counts of other people across the country who are losing their jobs for daring to say something disparaging on social media about Kirk after his death as well. MAGA is very openly celebrating these firings.

It is analogous to what the NAZI's think. Ping me if you think I am wrong about this.

And I call Godwin! All that happened over 80 years ago and it's still not long enough that it's acceptable to use that as a generalized insult. Next time, try showing a little imagination and come up with something a bit more original and appropriate.

If you go over to BritBox, you not only get rid of all the commercials, you have a wide variety of shows available, many of them adapted from popular book series. As an example, there have been several versions of Father Brown, most of them mediocre at best. Pick the one starring Mark Williams,as it's the best of the lot. You can also enjoy the spinoff, featuring Sister Boniface as a nun who doubles as the forensic scientist for the local constabulary.

Outside of a very small community (of which I am a member) this won't even register as a problem, let alone motivate a sizeable number of people to do anything about it. Our species lacks the will to even stop literally poisoning ourselves.

Liberals are fairly consistent in defending people's right to their faith while speaking out against people who want to impose their faith on others.

I lug my laptop to work 3 days a week, and use 2 of its ports (dock, portable display).

I don't know what type of laptop you use, or how heavy it is, but I have a piece of advice for you that fits no matter what your laptop is like: if your laptop came with a case, don't ever use it. That's because the type of case you get when you buy one looks exactly like what it is, and they're all thief magnets. Get something that looks like a brief case, or even better, a backpack. Nobody's going to consider a backpack worth stealing, even if it's hanging from your hand and if you live or work in an area with lots of thieves, this simple trick can save you lots of time and money replacing things you need to do your job.

We should also consider the non-zero chance that he was shot by someone not for being too far to the right but rather for not being far enough to the right. Remember there are a lot of MAGA folks who are tripping over each other to see who can be the most extreme; years ago the GOP passed a point where they would have thrown out Reagan for being too far left and now the MAGA party is even further yet to the right.

There is no difference between gravity and acceleration.

I'm not a physicist, and I don't know if a physicist would agree with you completely. I do know, however, that any effect that you can create with acceleration you can also create with gravity, and vice versa.

There is a long list of times during this - and the previous - Trump Administration when it seemed clear that would happen. We thought they finally got to the point where they wouldn't be able to stand each other and they would annihilate their own. Never before did it happen; indeed they only rallied harder each time and came out stronger.

Now they have a new martyr. Any time anyone doesn't toe the MAGA line they will be accused of leading towards "another Charlie Kirk". In fact they could have hardly asked for a better event, as they can use it to also brush any other gun violence crime under the rug as well.

Say goodbye to democracy. Charlie Kirk managed to do exactly what he wanted - he killed it. He wasn't wise enough to realize it would take his own blood to take it down, but it is dead and buried now. The new Single Party State rises up now, and by the end of next month it will be illegal to be a democrat.

Right now is a good time to invest in your exit strategy if you don't align yourself 110% with the MAGA party.

Where did I encourage violence? You must have me mistaken with someone else. I have multiple times very plainly advocated against violence in all forms. I don't approve killing anyone by anyone else. Not by or for politics, not by or for the state. Murder is wrong, period.

In the 1960s the assassinations were of people who wanted to improve our country and bring about progress. This decade we're seeing assassinations of people of all stripes. There is no rhyme or reason to the violence any more. The only difference is that one party advocates exclusively for "thoughts and prayers" after any killing, because they are afraid their owners will drive them out of their cushy jobs if they ever propose any kind of legislative reform.

I didn't say anyone would make a new amendment. I said that the MAGA party would ignore the 22nd Amendment, and that the SCOTUS would not stop them from doing so. That's a big difference. Indeed a constitutional amendment is only passed by congress; the SCOTUS cannot make one. Up until now, the POTUS has been expected to follow the constitution, but that is no longer the case. Nobody is willing to apply any laws to Trump.

Again, nobody is looking to pass a new amendment, nor are they looking to repeal one on the books. They have license to simply ignore the constitution, and they will do exactly that. The constitution is no longer worth the paper it was written on.

What gets marketed as Kona coffee does not necessarily have much Kona in it.

Right now, I'm using a Kona blend that's 10% Kona. I buy it as whole beans and grind it as needed because I use a French Press and it works best with a coarse grind that you can't find in the market.
