Interesting, thanks for the info. I guess we'll see on July 11th.

Being a convicted felon, can he even vote for himself now? I'm pretty sure Florida doesn't allow felons to vote.

Yep, it's very clear there are two legal systems. One for us and one for the rich.

July 11th from everywhere I've seen. I don't know why it takes over a month.

Sentencing is July 11.

FlexibleToast , 1 month ago to politics in The economy is thriving under Biden. So why don’t Americans believe it?

You've decided you only want evidence that agrees with you.

A single anecdote is not evidence.

FlexibleToast , 1 month ago to politics in The economy is thriving under Biden. So why don’t Americans believe it?

You're reinforcing my point. The economy has improved for people who were already well off. The people on the low side are getting pinched even harder.

FlexibleToast , 1 month ago to politics in The economy is thriving under Biden. So why don’t Americans believe it?

They're asking the wrong question. The question should be who the economy is thriving for? The answer to that question will tell you everything you need to know.

FlexibleToast , 1 month ago to World News in ‘Not genocide’ says Biden after ICC warrants sought

I've heard the argument that it isn't genocide because Isreal doesn't intend to destroy Palestinians. I guess their defense is that Isreal is just incredibly inept at fighting a war? I don't buy it. How anyone can deny the genocide after the World Central Kitchen incident is beyond me.

FlexibleToast , 2 months ago to politics in Pelosi accuses MSNBC host Katy Tur of being ‘apologist for Donald Trump’

Honestly, I think this is the only reason Biden won in 2020. Trump once said he was like a war time president with the pandemic. If he had kept that mentality and rallied to battle it, I think he would have won. However, I'm not sure which scenario is worse in the long term... I suppose the darkest timeline is yet to be seen. If Trump wins in November, we will truly be in the darkest timeline.

But OP just said it's not a job in the meme. Which is it?

But you could replace just about any product with that statement.

FlexibleToast , 2 months ago to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in Taking CO2 out of the air would be an absurdly expensive way to fight climate change

I didn't say you can't do both. The real danger is the green washing. In fact, it's not a danger, it's currently already used to subvert carbon cap and trade regulations. Scams of companies that sell carbon credits for protecting forestry that aren't endangered to begin with. There is little to no oversight of this and is hurting our progress to fixing the issue.

Well, kind of... Reducing carbon emissions would be far more effective than trying to capture the emissions we currently use.

I didn't say I don't like trees, just they aren't the solution. They're often used as green washing and delay actually effective things like carbon cap and trade. I don't know what the solution will be. If it were simple enough for me to solve it, it wouldn't be a problem we're facing.
