And, if you say “I plead the Fifth” then immediately shut the f*ck up. The cops will try to get you to un-invoke your right to remain silent.

I'm aware of that case, and if you read the language of the bill it doesn't address that situation very well.

That case is a weird one because I actually think both sides, the student and the graduate assistant grader, were wrong. And ultimately I think the GA was more wrong because the GA held the position of authority in the situation. I generally think that those in authority should be held to more strict standards.

In that specific case that you, there was a very clear scoring rubric published that the GA was supposed to follow. (You can find the rubric published online.) There is no possible way a rational person could read the grading rubric and conclude the student deserved a 0. Yes, it was a very stupidly written essay, but it wasn't a zero -not if you follow the published rubric. The student was given a zero only because of religious discrimination. The grader should have followed the rubric. If the grader has followed the rubric then the student still would have likely failed the assignment, but the grader would have been able to justify the grade and would probably have avoided getting disciplined.

That's my position on that. I'm sure you disagree and believe the student was 100% at fault.

France is all "uh... Alright. Uh... Y'all were kinda busy preparing for war with the US."

Blame the victim.

Food storage is like the whole point of agriculture.

I think you should also include the Iraq War. Evangelicals set a lot of their identity in their belief that the War on Terror would be the final Holy War that would bring about the Kingdom of Christ (with them at the top, of course). But instead their holy war turned into an undeniable catastrophe in front of their eyes.

And also Jesus didn't come back like he was supposed to.

A black man was elected president.

Actually if you really read the bill most of the additions are concerning protecting political speech, not religious speech (which was already protected).

So if it's anything more than a political social media bait, then it's about ensuring conservative kids can praise Trump, not God. (But really, it's just bait that you guys are happy to swallow.)

I really wonder if Trump actually thinks that the Navy can just put coal in their air craft carrier engines...

I guess my question is more about what constitutes a "truck suv". There is no way that SUV built on a truck frame out number SUVs built on car unibody frames by that much.
