I have no doubt that had the coach be of the Islamic faith, and had been praying as is custom to his religion the SCOTUS would have ruled the other way. I’m waiting for that to happen so the SCOTUS and Republicans can try to find a way around the Courts discison and stop no Christian prayers while still allowing Christian prayers. Then narrow it down to Christian prayers of one sect only.
The 80s and rise of “Saint Reagan”; who among his many other crime like not acknowledging the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gave us a group that are still top of the heap of their hatred, gay people. Irrational, Bible thumping – though I doubt the Bible thumpers have read the Bible, or Jesus saying to love one another I as I have loved you. (John 13:33-38) And that he didn’t put any caveats, or exceptions, or list of people not to love.
Transgender are quickly catching up to us because those uneducated sheep don’t know how to think for themselves. They say the Bible trumps science, even though study after study show that people are born gay or transgendered. Sexual assault doesn’t make a person gay. A poor relationship, or no relationship with a father or father figure doesn’t make people. Like being left handed it’s all in how the brain is wired. Or worse yet, a choice. Like I woke up one morning when I was 9 and thought Mark Hamil to be more appealing than Carrie Fisher; or that I thought Andy Gibb was more to my taste than any other female singer. No. It was my brain and I was born that way. So if, God is all powerful and all knowing, he can’t mistakes so I am how he designed me.
AOC will turn 34 this month. Which means she’ll turn 35 in October of 2024. The Constitution only says you have to 35 to be POTUS. Since she’ll be 35 on 1/20/2025 she can run right now. I would like to see AOC or Katie Porter run for POTUS or together as President and VP. Katie Porter would come to the debate with her Mighty White Board, that drives fear into all who oppose her. Except AOC. As a Latino, I know a Latina will F you up.
I have seen on the US gov site that a person must be 35 to be a candidate. But the Constitution doesn’t say that.Article 2 Section 1No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
It could end up being a court battle to let her run, but technically she’ll be 35 about 3 weeks before the election and thus a 35 yo candidate.
BASHIR: But the point is, if you lie all the time, nobody’s going to believe you even when you’re telling the truth.
GARAK: Are you sure that’s the point, Doctor?
BASHIR: Of course. What else could it be?
GARAK: That you should never tell the same lie twice.
