The fact that the President, who maybe some time in distant memory, didn’t choose judges based along political lines, chooses the Supreme Court judges seems crazy to me.

Why aren’t the best judges and lawyers getting together and electing them? I’m a scientist by trade, so I’m more use to a peer reviewed system. Nonetheless, I find it maddening that our election cycle realistically choses the highest court in America rather than those most equipped to make that decision. Who gives a fuck what the president thinks should be the next Supreme Court justice? I’d rather hear from the experts of the field choose who it is.

“We are reviewing our approach to handling student speeches and written statements at public events,” he continued. "We acknowledge that altering Ms. De Meyer’s speech may have compromised out commitment to open dialogue.”

Classic stuff. “We have been caught not doing anything close to our ‘commitment’ and now we promise to change.” Just be honest and say you don’t have open dialogue and you were lying the whole time.

I guarantee the next student gets the same treatment if it is a different situation.

“And I’m just scared”.

Maybe it’s time to increase Georgia’s police basic training up from ten weeks to maybe eleven or even twelve! Source: https://www.trainingreform.org/state-police-training-requirements

Luckily, the fossil fuel companies told us it isn’t anthropogenic and not to worry about this so we will be okay. /s

I agree on the Palestine genocide and it’s terrible the U.S. requires an ally in the Middle East so bad they are willing to overlook and contribute to what is happening. But everyone is funding China because everyone buys their products. I have tried hard to stop buying their products. It is challenging, and sometimes impossible, but I do my best. Anyway, I’ll stop derailing the conversation in an energy forum. Thanks for your patience and not deleting my posts, mods.

I wouldn’t find it annoying. I think it is important to remind the populace of the abhorrent things governments do, ESPECIALLY when they continue to do these things. The camps are still operational. So I’ll be happy to shut up when they shut them down.

While I agree that China pushing renewables is good, shaming them for a genocide doesn’t seem like an appropriate response.

If some guy in your high school beats the crap out of every disabled kid he sees, but on the weekends he hands out soup at a soup kitchen, should that person be celebrated?

Nice! Just think of the number of Xinjiang internment camps they could power! (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_internment_camps).

Fun fact: NASA employees are unable to even talk with congressional representatives about proposed scientific missions because it is considered a “conflict of interest”. Let that sink in. Meanwhile…

Ohhh, gotcha. I understand now. lol. It’s been a long morning…

Ukraine isn’t in the EU.

Samoyed!

Agreed.

She sure is!

Me too!

I think that is a fair point. One possible option would be to withhold any financial assistance to Hungary. As of 2021, they cost the EU 4.2 billion euros (https://www.statista.com/chart/18794/net-contributors-to-eu-budget/).

It is time to develop a way to remove nations who clearly don’t have the EU’s best interest at heart. Hungary is long overdue to be bounced from the EU.

Done! Lots of scratches and belly rubs!

Yes! And we also use “Up Quark!“ when I want her to get up. Not surprisingly, I use this less. lol. I still need to find a top and bottom use.
