@GuntherEagleman A reminder that even if you commit treason while under the impression you are saving the country, it is still treason.
Those 'political prisoners' are in jail where they belong.
@fatty_mcslim_2 @BaddCompani@artist_mtm@hugolowell Secret service that Trump had around in the closest proximity to him likely were individuals he chose. He likely would have picked people he felt would be loyal to him/okay with his illegal stuff.
There is no “political solution to this criminal problem”.
We are bound by the rule of law, not the rule of politics.
If that changes, we are lost forever.
@UBUandIXL@Will_Ave@Stillnthewoods@greg_price11 The reality is companies don't self regulate, and commercial competition isn't sufficient to ensure they do.
Part of what the EPA does is create an avenue for those hurt by corporate actions to find recourse. They also investigate when foul play is suspected.
@UBUandIXL@Will_Ave@Stillnthewoods@greg_price11 And what exactly is the recourse when Company A lies about practices that hurt people and the environment?
What's the recourse when actions by company A hurt those who are not purchasing their products? They can't buy less.+
@UBUandIXL@Stillnthewoods@greg_price11 The EPA was established specifically because the free market didn't solve these problems...

@BetrCutlerLoose@greg_price11 So from my following of the case (and having just built on property that had to be determined if it was wet lands or not) it seems odd that the state doesn't requires a site survey by an expert in wetlands to ensure you are not in wetlands.
We had this done before we purchased+
@zachakm10 @backell @NoBrdrsNoNtns Sometimes you vote for people that you don't 100% agree with.
But also I have yet to live anywhere that has put up even a semi-decent politician for the GOP.
@zachakm10 @backell @NoBrdrsNoNtns Have you considered that voting down a single party line is the result of critical thinking?
And yes, I have taken civics and US gov and politics courses, because I grew up in a blue state that actually provides an education.
@BannedNotice@scrowder Do not see marital rape as a crime also have laws allowing some of the youngest ages for marriages, essentially creating a system of state sponsored statutory rape.
@BannedNotice@scrowder Just a note for your first point. Republicans have also made almost zero efforts to end Marital Rape.
In fact the law that makes Marital Rape illegal in Michigan had it's only 'No' votes from the GOP.
Combine this with the fact that a lot of the states that+
@echeniqg@realJacobAirey@pattonoswalt Elon in theory has to give it away to celebrities/public figures. It loses all value if they collectively decide to forgo it, because it's value is only in its ability to verify the individual is who they say they are (and a well known individual sells that image to more people)
