Fuck the religious exemptions, but we're still stuck in the sixteenth century, after all. BURN THE WITCHES.President Biden signed gay marriage legislation into law Tuesday before a crowd of thousands, a ceremony that reflected growing acceptance of same-sex unions.
“This law and the love it defends strike a blow against hate in all its forms,” Biden said on the South Lawn of the White House. “And that’s why this law matters to every single American.”
The U.S. House passed a bill Thursday that would allow Puerto Rico to hold the first-ever binding referendum on whether to become a state or gain some sort of independence, in a last-ditch effort that stands little chance of passing the Senate.
The bill, which passed 233-191 with some Republican support, would offer voters in the U.S. territory three options: statehood, independence or independence with free association.
The proposal would commit Congress to accept Puerto Rico into the United States as the 51st state if voters on the island approved it. Voters also could choose outright independence or independence with free association, whose terms would be defined following negotiations over foreign affairs, U.S. citizenship and use of the U.S. dollar.
I wouldn't want to either. Acute nausea doesn't lend itself well to meal enjoyment.
What, are they going to force Biden to release his tax returns? Poor, stupid NYT "journalist."Revealing private documents risks a tit for tat with Republicans set to retake control of the House of Representatives.
A shame Ford didn't live to see you flip flop. Fuck off, "Presidential Historian" Michael Beschloss.MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon, I think, was courageous, and in retrospect, wise. And one of the things that I think is actually quite lovely is that Gerald Ford said, before he died, that one of the things that emotionally meant the most to him was getting the Profile In Courage Award, because it made him feel that, despite the fact that he had gone through all that flack and people denouncing him, saying, “Did you make a secret deal with Nixon to get the presidency in exchange for a pardon?” he felt that in the end, he had been vindicated. And one thing that’s sort of pointed about history is that oftentimes people are not with honor in their time. And the nice thing with Ford is that he lived to see it.
Great abuser logic, NYT! And tit for tat was already what was going to happen. Or not even that. Two straight years of impeaching Hunter Biden's laptop. something something merrick garland something
Grumpy Cat says: “GOOD.“
I'd have watched more soap operas if they'd had storylines like this.
