At long last, we have created the Homo Sacer from the classic critical theory text Don't Create The Homo Sacer.
honestly I think that we should pass a law denying the protection of any federal law to anyone who received a pardon from Trump. nothing done to them by any other person should be criminal.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

STOP dunking on bad opinions. STOP sharing screenshots of bad opinions. You are not earning karma points; you are not showing how great your own opinions are; you are literally spreading the bad opinions like manure.
Just STOP.
Just STOP.

people arguing about Oasis vs. Blur Pulp et al - why bother? Britpop is so obviously inferior to American altrock from the same period. You want to pretend any of those groups could go toe to toe with Pavement GBV let alone real artists like Royal Trux?
