Hard to do, when local Dem committees fight you too, while helping the GOP win seats.

Slavery is already legal in the US.

Why do you think we have 1/4 of the global prisoner population? Like, 1.9 million slaves are currently held in prisons in the US.

Any public facing IT system stood up in the higher ed system I am familiar with, requires IT support to be engaged. A part of that process is sending the request through a software review board, department's IT, centralized IT, and then assigned to a project manager.

Otherwise, it would be considered a rogue service, and turned off at the edge, and core routers.

Naive of you to think the SCOTUS needs any sort of legally logical reasoning. They quite obviously do not. Stare Decisis means very little to this court.

Even the most devout cultists understand that culling 7% (and rising) of the population in a country with a negative birth rate is a bad move.

Except....

COVID-19.

1 million+ dead. And they were OK with that.

Those restrictions never apply to the ruling class. The purpose of the law is to protect but not bind them, while binding yet not protecting the working class.

Child marriages were never banned in the US. Hell, the GOP has been pushing to lower the age of consent from 18 already, and carving more and more pedo loopholes into the law.

Like, it's not being a pedo, if you raised her from aged 4 (ie, child from previous marriage), and married her at 16, because "She loves Daddy so much!". Or, it's not being a rapist if you're a good swimmer. And, well, divorce... That's pretty hard for some women, in some states, already.

Yep, that's the goal. Only the wealthy, who are otherwise protected from the arm of the law, will be the only ones who are not just chattel for the workhouses.

They need more workers? Impregnate more women via IVF, with the "economic exclusion" that will be crafted into law, that only applies to the workplace. Why worry about divorce when your master is choosing for you? Too many workers to feed? UID, ordered by your master.

They control everything for the working class, even the reproductive cycle. Even love needs to be removed from the equation. 1984 laid out the "why" for it all.

It is legal. And I'm hoping they yank it.

Its "Molotov-Ribbentrop". That's the term you're looking for.

We all knew the so-called “peace deal” was going to be rough but “US takes this half, Russia takes that half” is a new low even for him.

Its pretty on par, being honest.

I mean, last time, it was Poland.

Hopefully, someone adds a touch or arsenic to these pills.
