Law Enforcement should not be allowed to search for evidence with a warrant? It is immoral and disrespectful to care about the integrity of the republic and the constitution?

And I would have zero problem with a search of the Biden family if they had a warrant. They aren't above the law. If you want them to be investigated, do an investigation. A legal one, not a Alex Jones make shit up one.

I will say that Nebraska allowing 20 weeks is more generous than most European countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Europe

They seem to be among the more liberal of the US states when it comes to limitations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law_in_the_United_States_by_state#Limits_on_abortion

It took me a bit, but I think "throw how" is supposed to be "throw out".

It is immoral for the FBI to search pursuant to a lawful warrant granted by the courts.  But perfectly fine for a presidential candidate to call for his opponent to be locked up?

I thought you were supposed to show respect to law enforcement and quietly let them law enforce on you?

The GOP's logic is the same as authoritarians everywhere - the law is there to be used as a tool to supress our political opponents and keep the out-groups in their place, but it is never to be used against our own side.

This double standard is often remarked upon. When law enforcement inconveniences them it is tyranny and government abuse and demands a patriotic threat of violence. When law enforcement inconveniences others then it is back the blue and show respect for the heroes of law enforcement. And to be fair both sides of the culture war do this sort of thing. Because it is a culture war, the warriors are not even a little bit interested in consistent values or principles but in winning the war. I am sure Orban and the Hungarian culture warriors do the same: when Hungary does it it is fine for blah blah reasons, when somebody else does it they are just evil bad actors.

In the eyes of the culture warrior, particularly (but not exclusively) the right wing variety there are no good or bad laws or good or bad ideas just good or bad people. The bad people must be opposed at all costs. But man it seems just constant on the right wing these days.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Always feels a bit weird for Trump fans to blast Biden for senility. Have they seen their guy?

Add the words "white nationalist" in front of "America" and its more accurate.
