    “By the time it was introduced, 218 of the 222 House Democrats had signed on as cosponsors, assuring its passage.[54] Trump was impeached in a vote on January 13, 2021; ten Republicans, including House Republican Conference chairwoman Liz Cheney, joined all of the Democrats in supporting the article”

    “U.S. Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Donald Trump of inciting the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, falling short of the two-thirds majority (67 votes) required for conviction. While all 50 Democrats voted to convict, seven Republicans joined them, making it the most bipartisan impeachment conviction vote in U.S”





  • For some reason I couldn’t see these unless I hit reply. Weird.

    Guarantees of Non-aggression: A fundamental U.S. commitment to stop and never resume hostilities.

    Control of the Strait of Hormuz: Continued Iranian military management and control over the waterway.

    Nuclear Enrichment Rights: U.S. acceptance of Iran’s right to enrich uranium on its own soil.

    Lifting Primary Sanctions: Removal of all direct U.S. financial restrictions and sanctions.

    Lifting Secondary Sanctions: Ending penalties on foreign entities that do business with Iran.

    Termination of UNSC Resolutions: Ending all United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iran.

    Termination of IAEA Resolutions: Ending all International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

    War Reparations: Compensation payments for damage to Iranian infrastructure, potentially funded by tolls on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

    U.S. Military Withdrawal: Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases and positions in the region.

    Ceasefire on All Fronts: An end to hostilities across the region, including the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.






  • Christmas is a pagan holiday co-opted by Christians. Christmas is most definitely a secular tradition in the US and there is nothing unusual about an atheist celebrating it.

    What is unusual is Christians trying to bring Christ into the celebration when the timing just doesn’t make any sense. Was he actually born during this time? Where does he fit in with Santa Claus? Why do we bring a tree indoors? What about Jesus equals buying gifts to give to loved ones?

    Clearly Jesus doesn’t belong in Christmas no matter how hard Christians try to pretend he does.




  • Which lawyers? Clearly Chevron’s lawyers were able to absolve all their liability so they definitely won.

    Furthermore, Chevron extracted close to 30 billion dollars of petroleum and left an environmental disaster behind. Chevron even counter sued and was awarded an addition 3 billion in damages that was reduced to 220 million for Ecuador daring to try and hold a US corporation responsible.

    Not only did Chevron prevail they continued the harassment of Steven keeping him under confinement for years and preventing him from practicing law.


  • I think you are missing hundreds of years of progressive corporate lawyering to entrench their business model(s) into our society.

    Take the US for example. Originally corporations had to be for the public good, were time limited, and the owners were held directly financially accountable for their decisions.

    It took hundreds of years of court cases and lobbying to get to the point where we are now and it is absolutely insane. There is a reason the corporation has become the dominant form of our culture.
