Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Not even a majority.

They need six for quorum. And there's 9 total.

So any four justices can do this. And it's not a coincidence they didn't pull this out of their sleeves until there was only 3 non conservative justices.

Conservatives can make their own quorum, and they don't expect to lose that majority for a very long time even worst case scenario.

The whole system is broken. One party exploits it and one tries to ignore it's broken.

Why are you "both sides"-ing this? One party is exploiting the flaws of the system...full stop. The system is flawed, one side doesn't want it to work, and the other doesn't have the numbers to change the system.

Why did you reply twice immediately to my comments? Do you want to have this conversation twice?

And your last comment before that was half a week ago, also to me? About the same topic?

Is that just a coincidence? Because it's a weird look, and seems pretty unlikely to be a coincidence.

Did you just sign back on, see my last reply from then, and you clicked my name and started replying to my most recent comments?

That's the only way this makes sense to me. I'm just curious what's going on here.

Edit:

Guess it's like trying to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop...

I'll never know

Why do you redirect the conversation rather than answering the question directly and specifically both here and in their other reply to you?

Do you have an agenda to both sides every comment critical of conservatives?

That's the only way this makes sense to me. I'm just curious what's going on here.

Edit: I don’t have a stake in this but you don’t actually answer the question, instead you attack the other user. You both need to actually read and understand what’s going on in this case, the whole thing is frivolous and clickbait you both swallowed.

Because 4 days ago I replied and they didn't answer...

And their other reply in this thread (saying the same thing) I already answered.

Just getting really weird vibes from that account and giving them a chance to explain before I block them
