@schmidt1333@life_of_pech @pdbarkley @iBiteiStrike Because it is - when FDR established a minimum wage he said: "No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue ... and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."
A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:
BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.
The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.
When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.
In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.
This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.
The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.
"The Supreme Court will, for a generation, always serve as a veto of any and all progressive legislation. So even if Democrats achieve the herculean feat of winning the House, Senate and White House, and actually passing legislation, the Supreme Court will always strike it down. So we have to decide if we want to just win symbolic victories, if we want to just get caught trying, or if we actually want to make permanent, meaningful change. If it’s the latter, then inherently, that requires us to reform and expand the Court."

@bu95718349@Malinowski It actually seems that we should consider Kavanaugh in the 3 and Gorsuch in the 6, his dissent was only on tourists, not illegal residents. I don't agree, but I could see a good faith argument there re: jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court today made a corrupt campaign finance system even worse. The Court struck down limits on the coordination between candidates and political parties, giving billionaires even more power.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy. It’s Oligarchy.
This is the stupidity we're talking about: She got an abortion after helping ban them. Blamed the democrats for the struggle she had to get one. And doesn't want interviews talking about it to be public.
@colincowherd Calvin Johnson could’ve been that level if he played soccer growing up. 6’5”, 32.5 km/hr speed, 43in vertical, other worldly body control in the air, amazing vision to find holes in defenses, win contested Ariel duels, etc. 0 doubt he’d be a top 5 striker.
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
ZETEO: “A Marine who served with Graham Platner in Iraq and got matching tattoos: ‘No, we did not purposely get hateful fucking shit because we’re racist people. We got matching tattoos because we were in our 20s, drunk in Croatia, and that’s it.’” https://t.co/CRtF3EC3KR
Rep Tom Kean (R-NJ) hasn’t been seen in 96 days.
In that time he’s:
- missed 122 roll call votes,
- won an uncontested primary
- introduced 3 pieces of legislation
- made 13-15 individual stock trades with insider info.
Where is @CongressmanKean?
Is Tom Kean dead?
