@WEschenbach@shipwreckedcrew The judges discussed the racial aspect, but the case before them was based on administrative procedure, not the 14th amendment so they ruled not reviewable.
I believe Dr. Ship is saying the next round will be a "constitutional" issue and subject to review.
Oh, please do!
I’d love to hear from you and all your ilk about how our officer corps shouldn’t be answerable to our elected leaders.
Tell us how you and your friends are more important than your oaths.
Tell us how you earned your accolades over our 20 year campaign in the desert.
Tell us why your egos are more important than our constitutional structure!
This is exactly what I expect from you and your ilk.
This isn’t funny or a flex.
It’s a sad reflection of an insular activist culture so consumed by hostility that it has lost touch with reality.
The people running Sunrise Movement and the organizations that encourage and celebrate this behavior should be ashamed.
@LocasaleLab I actually have a great pcp, one who listens and processes my hypothetical self diagnoses seriously, which I present only as hypothesis, takes great interest in the supplements I take and why when I point out my good labs are a result.
He's the first.
@dicentra33@walterkirn@jeffreytucker Noble cause corruption is not a trait of good people.
It's a trait of arrogant fucks who never take responsibility for their actions, but feel like they meant to do "the greater good" and no responsibility when it backfires.
They were corrupt, and bypassed ethical guidelines, but it was noble cause corruption. You can research it. Fauci and others were attempting to create a universal vaccine platform for more than a decade.
@dicentra33@walterkirn@jeffreytucker It was a decades long project whose goal was to create universal vaccines and this was a research step, not an intentional release, but they did create it, and the vaccine development was parallel, so when the accident happened they were able to employ it.
@ClimateAudit@walterkirn An intelligent, call them a "logic enabled" journalist can disagree, and that's fine. I'm calling out a different class, journalists incapable of logic, and it may be the majority.
I recently recorded a semi adversarial podcast with a "climate journalist". Early on I asked if she knew what the square root of 121 was. I got the expected answer, "I've always been bad at math".
I pointed out that she lacked conceptual tools to understand what she was writing about or how to reconcile even slightly competing information and that she simply repeated things from sources she chose to consider authoritative. I pointed out that she could decide what points to memorize, "99% of scientists agree" (she said that a lot), but had no ability to synthesize, combine or create internal toy models of understanding.
She responded with things like "I've done 5000 interviews" and at what point she even said something to the effect of it's not my job to understand. I'm a journalist.
It wasn't really illuminating, as it was expected, but it is sad that "journalists" feel confident to explain things to the public when their only "reasoning" is deciding what sources to believe and lack any critical thinking skills of even being able to sense conflicting information and discern what is logically consistent and thus more likely to be true, from that which is not.
I'm certain this applies in complex political intrigue such as Russiagate as well as science topics such as Climate and Covid.
@RandyEBarnett My C in typing in ninth grade kept me from being Valedictorian.
It still ended up being the most important skill from high school, but only a decade later after word processors allowed me to fix my constant mistakes.
