@AshDene We can only hope. Trump, if found guilty and after exhausting his appeals, should get the same consequences as the Rosenburgs.

@eternity_html I’m done with Reddit. Haven’t closed my account yet because there is a friend I’m still in contact with there. I don’t scroll, comment or post.Reddit sucks and there isn’t a reason to go back
@stopthatgirl7 Great article. Population genetics is extremely interesting. I like how the authors weaved in some of the characteristics of the people disclosed by the genomes of the people they studied. Max Planck Institute has been at the forefront of much of this work, very solid source. I assume they were studying mitochondrial DNA because of the age of the samples.
@Madison_rogue Yet another classless GOP crank. 100% guarantee that some time in the future we’ll be hearing more from this right wing backbencher
@Emu I'm over 60 and still have all my faculties, I can assure you. Thirty-plus years ago, it was hard for me to imagine what I would be like at 60 but its actually not different, at least from the life of the mind perspective. I think your position is ageist and is itself generational thinking. Nevertheless, I have favored term limits for many years, including when I was young. The 25th Amendment was enacted and ratified to address Presidential incapacity after President Wilson became mentally incapacitated and his wife took over the office when no one was legally able to remove him.
@Drusas Someone close to Feinstein needs to talk to her and make her understand how badly she is embarrassing herself and doing a dis-service to her constituents, the caucus, and the country at this point
@Arotrios I think that is an ivory tower view. I love America as much as anyone, and I watched 1.1 million largely preventable deaths from Covid. The reason all those citizens died is rank partisanship. Remember when Jared steered all the PPE away from Democratic states and for that matter when the governor of MD deployed the National Guard to keep Jared’s police force from confiscating the PPE. How about the confiscation of ventilators and deployment away from Democratic states? Dan Patrick saying that the old and vulnerable should gladly die to
allow the economy to open from the lockdown. “Dr.” Scott Atlas making administration policy to let hundreds of thousands of people die off for the quack idea of “herd immunity?” How about the aggressive anti maskers disrupting school board meetings and forcing their unmasked snotty faces into others? My family members treated these selfish purposefully ignorant fucks notwithstanding the danger to themselves. And by the way, if you’re someone who is immunocompromised, this not an academic discussion of partisanship. The awards to Grammy are made because of the active dissemination of deadly misinformation. As far as I’m concerned, Grammy should get her award. Grammy didn’t give a shit about other people dying
@Emu Dude, you are projecting your insecurities onto me. The minimum ages are for people who haven’t grown up enough to handle the responsibilities of the situation, President, driving, gun ownership are examples. For the record, I don’t want to be President. I have done enough policy work in my career to have an informed view. Also, I know what I don’t know, which is an insight sorely lacking in people who haven’t grown up yet. The problem with being older isn’t that your views become rigid or your brain goes soft, it’s that your body wears out. Otherwise, I quite like where I am in life thank you very much
