Racism is a helluva drug. B

Let’s stipulate something before we dive into this post so that there is no misunderstanding: the rise of the anti-vax movement did not begin with Donald Trump’s foray into American politics. It’s been around since well before 2016, slowly but surely gaining momentum among a strange combination of West Coast liberal elites and a certain portion of conservatives.

Okay cool. It hardened and became mainstream during Trump’s administration directly because of Trump. If he were actually looking out for our country’s national security and the health and safety of our people, he’d have gotten vaccinated for COVID on national TV, instead of in secret and never admitting it.

I’m not, thanks though.

I think they have an exception for driving on White House grounds.

If Trump even knew how to drive a car I’d be shocked.

Devils advocate: elections are always going to be imperfect ways of polling the masses. They’re so big, with so many moving parts, supported and organized by humans: mistakes will be made. I’ll go so far as to say that crimes will be committed, electioneering and voter fraud. These inherent features must be weighed against the ultimate goal of the election, which is to decide a winner with finality. Rarely is it going to be that close of a race where the quantity of mistakes and misdeeds are going to make a difference, but if it might there are avenues to take a case through the courts where the law and the interests at play will be weighed.

One of the interests weighed here, maybe even by the lawyers that might decide whether to bring a case, will certainly be the fact that the 21 ballots were not misplaced and later found, but thrown out with the trash. I don’t know enough about it to know whether the 21 voters could be identified and asked to recast their votes, but I would think not.

In my jurisdiction, such a close race triggers an automatic hand recount. That’s the due process. If 21 ballots are missed in both the first count and the recount, that’s still a valid election.

I have this understanding of it sort of like, when the counters finish counting, for better or worse, “you get what you get and you don’t get upset.” Going in, you have to know that it’s an imperfect process run by humans, and you have to know that 21 ballots might get thrown out. So as a candidate, if you could talk to every voter and get a certain promise that they would for sure vote one way or another, and you knew you had enough promises to win by exactly 21, you’d still continue to campaign because you know you don’t just need one more than the other candidate to win, but as many more as possible to ensure that you to win the count. And on non election days, you work to improve the process, to train new people to help run the election, to lobby for better election laws.

Ultimately, leaving an election undecided, uncertified, in my opinion, is more damaging to the electrical process and to democracy than occasionally, in the most narrow of margins, maybe, very rarely, getting it wrong. My two cents on it.

They’re trying to turn it into a right wing echo chamber.

You’re right it’s the worst.

Raise ticket prices to. $180 pp, build a hotel and conference center, install a theme park, cobalt mining.

Did he get the roach though?

A crease? If I know my fairy tales there’s a good chance you’re a princess, Jim.

Could it be one of those little one or two shot ankle guns?

Maybe he should do more Nazi salutes.

Bravo. Truly an exceptional meme.

Leave Facebook. Nobody will notice. If anyone does notice, text them the pics.

Absolute dumbass. Even now he cannot face reality.

That’s dystopian.

When you tow something the pulling force has to be down low, aligned with the load, to make it efficient. With the human body, given the height of your hands, it will always be easier to push a load than to try and tow it. The angular force when pushing a wheelbarrow, along with the weight of your body, helps the wheelbarrow along. If you turn around and try to pull it, your body takes that angular force instead of the front wheel. Like, instead of the lever and wheel doing the work, you have to not just move the load along, but lift it too. In short, there’s a reason why you can’t find something like this. It’s the same reason that why you look at wagons or pull carts, the handle is connected as low to the load as possible, and may likely have an angle built into it, also the same reason why flatbed type push carts say right in them “push, don’t pull.” Same with wheelbarrows. In short, you’re going to hurt yourself.

Your post doesn’t make sense. “A four wheel cart doesn’t scale well when compared to the rickshaw design”? Given that a four wheel design spreads the weight to four wheels instead of just two, four wheels can obviously move more weight more easily than two.

As above, especially in uneven surfaces, pushing is easier than pulling given that angular force is reversed (pushing the wheel over a bump and using the angular force to help rotate the wheel versus lifting the load up over the bump using your body whilst pulling). No question.

I feel great about it, nice way to cool off on a hot day.

Each state manages its own bar rolls, enrollment in which licenses attorneys to practice law in that state.

DC, not being a state, also has its own bar roll.

Virtually all state bars rolls are managed exclusively by the Supreme Court of that state.

You have to be licensed in a state to practice before a federal court, and then you can apply for enrollment in each federal court circuit.

The ABA is a bar association, which is essentially a lobbying group, not a licensing authority. Each state also has its own association, and usually many associations. State association, county associations, young lawyers, black lawyers, Asian and Pacific islander, also many more associations by practice area, such as trial lawyers association or elder law association.

The thing like 48 state participate in that you’re talking about is the administration of the multistste bar exam (MBE), which is a 200 question multiple choice test used by the bar examining committee of the state bar to decide who can join the rolls.

So your post is almost entirely incorrect.

The significance of the DC bar is that enrollment therein authorizes people to practice in DC, which generally includes all influential lobbying firms and all lawyers that practice at or before most federal administrative agencies since they are headquartered in DC. Further, it’s the local membership most commonly used to apply for membership in the bar of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which is the most influential court in the US after SCOTUS because it hears virtually all regulatory appeals, i.e., appeals taken from the adjudicatory decisions of federal agencies. This includes all patent and copyright appeals and all NLRB appeals, to name a couple of the important ones. Membership in the DC bar is also used to apply to practice before the FISA court, which is pretty influential.

Great! So it’s another blatantly unconstitutional order. Only Congress can cut funding to an agency or even change its name, let alone abolish it.
