  • Explicit isn’t so much a problem, but nuance.

    Example: the right to free speech is explicit a good and pretty well irrevocable thing, however some constraints such as using a public space to promote hate, speech meant to cause mass panic or harm or similar abuses are not protected as an exception to the broad basic right.

    A part of the issue with the second is the population is so fiercely militaristic (we make such a monument of our military as being the greatest of heros) and individualistic that people will twist the wording any way they like to claim they should have the right to a tank rather than to thin what is reasonable for the general population.

    Then there are the folks thinking they can revolt against a tyrannical government armed with globe covering drones because they have 100 rifles in their basement, but those are more especially deluded exceptions.


  • It’s marked on the poster as a happy hour event. The old ‘lampshade on head drunk’ character is what I’d guess the intention was, nothing more. It’s a bit at odds with a formal dress since it’s normally associated with a more raucous frat party type image, so not the best thought out particularly in a business presentation, but I doubt it was anything more sinister than that.









  • From what I’ve seen there where an awful lot of people in here (many who now promptly switched to anti-Kamela mode) claiming he didn’t do this that or the other progressive wishlist item so I’m gonna take my ball and go home.

    Granted a lot of ideals didn’t happen but when you don’t have the house and the Senate is a 50/50 split (and not even reliably that) good luck getting much of that done. A fair chunk of what he has done was via exec order and plenty often challenged even then.
