True communism hasn’t ever been implemented…
…at scale.
As the name might imply, “communes” (of e.g. the hippie persuasion) could be truly communist. Possibly some indigenous tribes, kibbutzim, the Paris Commune, Fristaden Christiania in Copenhagen, and various other intentional communities might qualify, too.
*hanged.
“Hung” is a… different thing, which the male justices might see as a positive.
to change some of the rules around the court you need an amendment because they’re in the constitution (lifetime appointments, for instance.)
Or the President would need to use the new powers the court gave him on it, until the remaining justices decided to change the rules themselves.

The most effective way to get the word out would be a demonstration on Biden’s part. He could show how dangerous the power is and get rid of the traitorous fascists who created it at the same time.
Neat, let’s hope the state government doesn’t ratfuck them out of the referendum like the city is doing to us Atlantans over Cop City.
No, he’s talking about the other disastrous Supreme Court ruling another of the several disastrous Supreme Court rulings in the last few days, the one that struck down Chevron deference.
Edit: plural, unfortunately.
Yet, they keep acquiring other companies.
We need better laws, but we also really, really need to start enforcing the antitrust laws we already have again.
They’re pretty much all bad for the environment, just to different degrees. Even the “greener” refrigerant choices (which have suboptimal thermodynamic properties, BTW) are things like ammonia, carbon dioxide and propane.
Point is, don’t be cavalier about letting your refrigerant escape even if it isn’t R22.
Well, that’s because they’re generally blatantly lying about it.
I just wonder how many good people who deserve to be here are barred from a normal life in the US because of it
Well, about 1.8 million and a few generations worth of descendants is a good lower bound.
Another important part of the article:
But his announcement comes just weeks after he laid out a litany of hate messages he and his parliamentary staff had received.
His stated reasons for leaving would be more believable if there had been more time between the two announcements. I’m not saying he should stay longer if he doesn’t want to; I’m just saying it might’ve been better if he’d gone public about the hate earlier.
Oh, by the way: no, I’m not insane. SCOTUS is insane. I’m just discussing the implications of their insane decision.
LOL, you’re just saying that because you can’t actually refute my point and you know it.
Prove me wrong, I dare you.
Well golly gee, mister, if I’m so ignorant can you please explain to me how I’m wrong? Be specific, now!
If not, then by all means, please continue with your point-free ad-hominem attacks. It’s entertaining! 🍿
What a useless non-response.
You can be in denial all you want, but the factual reality is that, since this SCOTUS ruling, the US is an autocracy now. Practically speaking, the only way for it to stop being such in the short term is for the autocrat (i.e., Biden) to forcibly change it back.
You say that as if it wouldn’t be a moot point once SCOTUS has five or six vacancies on it all at once, along with who knows how many in the Senate.
That’s how power actually works, you know. Don’t believe me? Watch Saddam Hussein’s 1979 purge to see how it goes down.
That’s the kind of power that exists here in the US now, thanks to the fascist Supreme Court. If Biden doesn’t use it against itself in order to destroy it, the next Republican President will use it to consolidate his own rule much the same way Saddam did.
You think Biden is gonna murder someone?
LOL, no.
But I do think that the fascist SCOTUS judges just gave him that power, and that Biden demonstrating just how terrible a power it is by using it to get rid of them might be the only way to get the decisions overturned and stop the US from becoming a dictatorship.
Either the “girliest” drink they have, or (more likely) a soft drink. I’m intrigued by cocktails and want to like them, but I never acquired a taste for alcohol.
