America and Americans broadly do not respect “international law” as an idea. We don’t vote for representatives in a UN House of Reps or UN Senate. And if we did why would we wish to be beholden to a majority rules vote when that majority combined might be inferior militarily.

America tolerates international law when it doesn’t interfere with our course.

The idea of a “one world government” is treated as a fringe tin hat conspiracy theory nonsense that no one is advocating for.

College students can be eligible for SNAP & HUD.

This is a motion to dismiss not an answer. That’s how those work. It is linked to by the journalist in the article.

Dude touch grass if someone wants to post cringe that’s on them but responding to every one of their comments is just harassment.

Re-read my comment above. They only have power which we vest in them.

How can they listen to the voters if the voters never speak to them. My comment was not on the DNC or RNC but on the core of all forms of representative democracies.

Do you know the name of the member of your state’s House of Representatives that represents your district? When was the last time you spoke to your federal representative? Do he/she not answer your calls because they have to many constituents? Talk to people in your neighborhood about the need for more representatives in the house.

All sovereign power comes from the people. Read: you are that guy.

Shout out to the menial workers at Apple Maps who are going to have a crap day at work tomorrow because of the thing their boss made them do, so they don’t get fired and replaced by someone else who would do it.

I agree with the sentiment on Gulf of Americas. But I think the singular (and referring to land of both continents) makes more sense. Firstly because it rolls off the tongue better. Secondly because the existence of the ‘North America’ and ‘South America’ both imply that those lands are parts of a larger body of land called America. North America being the Northern half of America. While South America presides in the Southern half.

‘America’ being the United States is only reinforced by the fact that the United States is the most significant nation in global politics East of the Pacific and West of the Atlantic.

Saying it disproportionately promotes any type of content is hard to prove without first establishing how much of the whole is made up by that type.

The existence of proportionately more “right” leaning content than “left” leaning content could adequately explain the outcomes.

Yeah no one is fingerprinting a possession case.

Most of the SAR is voluntareer based here. There are several regional SAR groups all made of ordinary people who help the state in their free time. The $2k is an average not fixed amount. Depending on circumstances it’ll be higher or lower.

In my state SAR is free unless the person was doing something really dumb. Eg. Avalanche victim = free. Vs. Hypothermia evac from winter hiking without a coat = ~$2k total.

And if your aunt was a man, she’d be your uncle.

If I create a community and it gets 1k members I’m not a businessman.

A stateless society is one with a power vacuum. Some one will claim the title of leader and often it’ll be someone of little virtue.

The thing is that they’ve got teeth. E.g. redistricting, along with the plurality of powers granted to the countless offices across the nation that they hold.

Q: Should (insert political party here) disenfranchise voters for the benefit of (insert political party here)'s political ends?

A: No.

If you have no principles you have nothing.

YSK call your house rep. They’re more likely to answer. Also call your state reps first. Most issues are handled on a state level, not federal, and state house reps tend to be the most accessible.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

The three countries most well known for their open and fair democratic processes.
