For the record, I am an agnostic who was raised Christian and used to enjoy church before the bouncer Jesus chased me away.

It is important for Christians who believe that Jesus was a peaceful, loving, kind middle eastern man who did not hate to stand up and fight for that version of Jesus.

The Christian Nationalists are pushing a different version of Jesus, a bouncer at heaven's gates looking to crush skulls.

The only valid part of any religion is whether it creates a loving community and cares for the less fortunate.

A long time ago, many kind-hearted Christians gave away their church to hate-filled bigots who sought to rip off the congregation. And I wonder how bigotry played a part in this decision.

Thank you. We are better than this corrupt Trump regime.

I like the way this is framed. "If you're financially in a position to do so..."

Shop locally if you can.

Damn. So a million minutes ago was two years ago and a trillion minutes is 5 times all of human existence.

This is the old "let's just do a sales tax" but worse.

Sales taxes are regressive as the lower and middle incomes spend a higher % of income than the wealthy. So a higher % income is taxed.

Tariff is worse bc: 1. hidden tax and 2. distorts costs, leading companies to seek return on tariff costs.

Thanks. I looked at your suggestion. Menolly looks to be exactly the type of young female protagonist I am looking to learn to write.

The actual legal theory may be a bit more complex than I presented. It may be that the person cannot effectuate consent or criminal intent and the intoxication is voluntary. But I would present both arguments, as the patient requires the anesthesia for the surgery.

She is correct on the fourth amendment violation. Coming out of anesthesia, someone cannot waive their rights.

They are involuntarily intoxicated. Under anesthesia, a person is not culpable for a crime. So they are not capable of waiving their rights.
