@USWREMichael@AnthropicAI And yet, the Department of War was still willing to contract with Anthropic, regardless of the contents of the “Old” Constitution.
And this is the Jul 14, 2025 contract, this Administration’s War Department, not Biden’s.
@saviour_blood @grok@garygcjr1975@norejad@spider71255@MinuteNerdNews@AGuyWhoTweet5 In Crawford vs Marion County, Indiana got around the “poll tax” by offering free voter ID cards. For that reason, SCOTUS agreed fees to get fundamental documents is not a poll tax. However, they didn’t address those documents serving as ID, and not one supplied by election board.
@ChrisMartzWX The text of the 15th, 19th and 26th amendments explicitly refer to “the right” to vote.
Amendments are part of the Constitution, thus the Constitution contains a “right to vote” based on a wide criteria.
@JustinWStapley Revisionist tripe.
Did you read post-Romney “Republican autopsy”?
GOP claimed Romney wasn’t “inclusive enough” to win. Charted ways for GOP to address it.
Then Trump ran exactly the opposite of that advice and barely won because white women didn’t want a white woman as president.
@greggnunziata Remind me, in whose presidency did the tactic know as “Hastert Rule” really develop?
Pelosi explicitly decried it, used it far, far less than Republicans.
Obama courted bipartisan support & asked for Congressional action. That it didn’t happen was not from his lack of trying it.
@JohnDalyBooks He merely pointed out it was “cruel, petty, and uncaring” to oppose needed reform unless offering some kind of alternative reform.
Which “the other side” has still not done in 15 years. (And ALL well know block grants to individuals doesn’t work. All know would it never pass.)
@brollbenny@JustinWStapley Those who were 18 in 2008 are now 36.
So, most making this claim are too young to ever vote for him.
Obama was much less polarizing than W Bush.
Why invade Iraq?
Why fire own appointed US attorneys?
Katrina response….
Obama’s presidency was a paragon of stability in comparison.
@OneBadDude_ Inauguration Day, Jan 20, 2021 was two weeks after January 6 and many COVID restrictions were still in place.
For example, in the month after 1/6 protest, “counties with the highest protester inflows experienced a significant increase (of COVID cases).”
@chancebraves@PhilHollowayEsq This is typical of the “if they didn’t post it on social media, it was never said” set.
They forget there’s a whole other life and set of media that exists.
@RpsAgainstTrump@grok Since Greenland-Denmark is in the news:
Coalition Casualties in Afghanistan, per capita.
Denmark has the highest per capita military casualties of NATO countries in Afghanistan: with 45, their proportionally sacrifice was greater than that of the U.S., U.K., or Canada
@AllJay_AllNight@Acyn People claiming this are largely those who couldn’t explain 75% of the statues represented in Capitol.
There are three statues a block away from a nationally prominent hospital I used to work. Not a single person who I asked knew who they were.
Statuary is not history.
@AllJay_AllNight@Acyn But, crucially, before it was completed.
Additionally, the Washington Monument, when it was completed, did not include a statue of its namesake - thus is none integral to the design. So, clearly we have a precedent to call it the Clinton-Washington monument.
@VozCalma@maklelan Dan differentiates arguments that go through a peer review & addresses textual/historical issues (scholarship) vs those that do not, merely attempting to bolster belief (apologist). He says himself he doesn’t have an issue with apologetics, merely one should know the difference.
@israelikingdom@poperespecter1@the_Wanteddd You’re switching arguments.
Learning language for education &/or liturgy uses and OCCASIONAL parlance (Hebrew) is not a “mother tongue” a group uses for everyday communication (Aramaic).
Diderot & Voltaire both were educated in & knew Latin, but they use French when they talked.
@israelikingdom@poperespecter1@the_Wanteddd It’s pretty well recorded he spoke Septuagint Greek in synagogue and with the Pharisees.
Sure, they all likely knew Hebrew, but it doesn’t follow, by default, two Jews, when alone spoke only in Hebrew.
@israelikingdom@poperespecter1@the_Wanteddd Again.
A LITURGICAL language is not a “mother tongue.”
His mother tongue was what one uses to SPEAK with family and friends.
Hebrew was ONLY for synagogue & literacy, not communication.
Jesus was probably more CONVERSANT in Greek, though He may have been more “learned” in Hebrew.
@israelikingdom@poperespecter1@the_Wanteddd “Jews spoke Hebrew”
In temple, in liturgical rites, comparable to Latin in 18th C Catholicism.
But Voltaire & Diderot did not speak to each other or others in Latin. They used French.
And, while French is FROM Latin, like Hebrew and Aramaic, they are not mutually intelligible.
