Why does it SEEM like the Russia attack on Ukraine is a crime against humanity and yet the government and media barely pay that no never mind?

@BlueVeins yes, it's all over the media. He must be sleeping for these past couple weeks

My opinion: they wanted to change the story from the fake pandemic to a war, keep people scared.

Yes BUT the weapons got there if they did too late and the media is far from clear about what is going on and who is winning and who is not. @BlueVeins @Stargazer89

@jackjjackson Yeah, obviously nobody's sure who's winning because definitions of 'winning' vary considering the differing goals of each side. And we're talking about a war that's happening [i]right now[/i]; of course it's hard to have an exact idea of what's happening on the ground.

Not even sure what that first statement's even supposed to mean, but those Javelins have been destroying tanks, trucks, copters, planes -- all that shit left and right. They've been really effective throughout the war.

Hand launched missiles have been a godsend for the Ukrainians. BlueVeins]

@Stargazer89 You actually believe that? Wow

Never trust lefties or democrats. @Stargazer89 @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson Never trust conservatives or Republicans, although they do occasionally slip up, like that Senator who just said that interracial marriage should be left up to the states. Oops, he said the quiet part out loud.

She is correct. @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson It was a male senator, and he walked it back.

Are you actually saying that states should be free to outlaw interracial marriage? So if Clarence and Ginni Thomas move to a state where it's illegal, they're not married anymore? Our entire system of marriage requires that states recognize marriages performed in other states. My wife and I didn't have to get married again when we moved to Georgia.

How far do you take states' rights? Should states be allowed to legalize slavery? Or outlaw guns? Outlaw certain religions? Institute a monarchy?

States can do virtually anything subject to it being declared invalid by thr SCOTUS. @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson Correct. Since each state has ratified the Constitution, and the Constitution makes SCOTUS the final arbiter, by definition every SCOTUS ruling is constitutional and each state is bound by it.

I wasn't asking you that. The senator opined that [i]Loving v. Virginia[/i] was wrongly decided, and states should be free to outlaw interracial marriage, and you agreed. So I'm asking how far you would take that.

I wrote that states can try whatever since the SCOTUS can fix nonsense. @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson Unfortunately, SCOTUS rarely does. The history of their decisions is one of protecting the rights of the powerful over the welfare of the powerless. Even the Warren court didn't do as much as it could have.

You sound like a martyr. @LeopoldBloom
