  • This is actually the way the law is written. Anyone who aids in any abortion, from the clinic performing it to the Uber driver taking her there – is now subject to being sued by random tattletales. The women themselves are not subject to the same thing.

    They did it this way on purpose. They didn’t want the optics of the State going after these people so they specifically made it so that the State AG would not be involved in all. It would just be a bunch of private busybodies looking to get all into other people’s business.









  • Not really, all it requires is someone to produce a signed message with one of Satoshi’s private keys, which can be easily verified with the public addresses on the blockchain. Whoever produced that message can be proven to possess that private key. Nothing short of that would be believable by the crypto nerds.

    If we presume that Satoshi understood that Bitcoin may be valuable one day and kept the keys private, that would mean that the signer really is Satoshi, or one of his associates or heirs Satoshi trusted wih access. Even if that person wasn’t actually Satoshi, their word on who it is would be considered authoritative.

    Unless it’s Craig. Fuck that guy. Nobody believes him.

    Let’s put it this way. How many Independants, who were leaning toward voting for Harris already, see the Dick Cheney endorsement and say “That’s it! That’s the last straw, I’m not voting for her!” I think you can count those people on one hand (or maybe no hands). I think that group is exclusively people who would have never voted for Harris because even she is too far right for them, and are using Cheney as an excuse.

    OTOH, I think many more Independants categorize themselves that way because they are fed up with partisanship entirely, and would be pulled toward the side that appears to have the bigger tent. Maybe Cheney himself isn’t the tipping point. But his endorsement, plus all the Republicans who refuse to endorse Trump, might be.


  • Like… an endorsement from Dick Cheney isn’t getting you independents. They hate those war criminals also.

    I think you are vastly overestimating how many of these independents are progressive. I think many more of them are just too busy to care until it affects them personally. They are not as hung up on the casual war crime or two as you are, as long as they are not the ones in the receiving end of it.
