No? The Surgeon General is the highest ranking medical officer. The HHS Secretary does not need to know medicine to do their job, though I imagine it helps for part of it.

Most schools aren’t talking about it or targeted.

Mate, it’s a cheese quesadilla. It’s two tortillas, cheese, and heat…

Joking aside, there are a few out there. A lot of people are surprisingly into figuring out copycatting popular fast food.

There are some instances where Reddit is still a great source of information just due to the sheer size of the community. But there’s a lot more shit to wade through after the exodus a couple years back. I haven’t signed back in for years.

You know what? You’re right, I’m sorry. Taking out my frustrations with the current regime on the wrong target.

Hey you’re cool with the current regime and like genocide! What’s it like being a genocide apologist?

Edit: Taking potshots at people who I agree with and don’t deserve it is bad form.

Now with U.S.-approved ethnic cleansing.

7 Nazis right now.

Yeah, more accurate to say everyone is androgynous based on the order.

They’re a tankie, mate. Not much use arguing, they’re starting from a bad faith position.

Maybe stick with the Green Ranger going forward.

So I’m not sure where you’re from, but the feds don’t run local governments in the US, with some exceptions in DC.

And HOT!

Never mind that California probably has more conservatives than most conservative states…

As much as most people on the left want juries to nullify in cases of unfair or unjust laws, the reality is it mostly results in murderous cops going free and corporations getting free passes. Like I said in another comment, while jury nullification could be used to tackle unfair laws, the reality is you mostly end up with actual racists and actively harmful corporations not being held accountable. Jury nullification is itself not good or bad, but it’s mostly used for bad. Frankly, I don’t really love the jury system but that’s a while bigger issue.

No, juries are the triers of fact. Juries do not exist to make a determination as to whether the law is fair or not and are (usually) explicitly told this. They have to listen to the facts, decide what actually happened, and then whether the facts match the elements of whatever crime is being charged.

I agree that getting a jury of twelve randomish peers is actually not the greatest system, but it’s what we’re working with. So in this paradigm, jury nullification is a huge problem because it’s twelve random people just deciding not to enforce a law the rest of society (sort of) has said needs to be enforced. This in turn leads to white supremacists getting acquitted by juries after prosecutors proved beyond a doubt that the defendants committed the crime and the same happening with police that abuse their powers.

It could end up working to protect civil liberties. But the reality is it mostly results in the status quo being upheld and/or actual criminals that need some kind of punishment being acquitted.

Jury nullification is also why cops who murder people and klansmen get acquitted. It’s not necessarily a good thing, just a quirk of the system.

While China is considered part of the global south, its economy is so massive and it is so influential globally it really shouldn’t be.

Edit: Also in China’s case, that was the UK, not the US.

Lincoln did it. He suspended habeas during the War.
