Well now you get the appeal of birthing people

My wife is a surgeon and gets zero paid leave. Im in tech and get 16 weeks. But the birthing people at my company get a full 26 weeks

 

[sturg33]

She works at a private practice

She took 10 weeks on baby 1.

That was an expensive baby!

Most give a minimum of like 6 weeks. Then the rest is short term disability or unpaid time off.

The short term disability is usually an elective coverage at 40-60% of income

I think they switched it to "birthing mammals" to be more inclusive

It’s obviously not wrong to be distrustful of China, but a social media company boosting a candidate that is naturally good at social media and immensely popular amongst the young people who frequent that website over a guy who is decidedly neither of those things is not evidence of a conspiracy.

Seems like Cruz should take it up with Trump

Specially since Thursday TikTok won't belong to the CCP but instead known cyber spy enthusiast Larry Ellison.

Sometimes I forget that literally all they would have to do to ban TikTok is actually start enforcing the law they all just wrote and passed.

Sounds like a speech to fill time and get some rah rah from the crowd. We can’t get 60 senators to vote to reopen the government, I don’t think anyone expects a supermajority to approve a Constitutional amendment.

Like I said in the other thread, this isn’t really the right losing its mind or some grim sign of encroaching authoritarianism. It’s red meat for the Trump wing of the party while following the constitution. If he gets 38 states to agree to make him eligible for President in 2028, he frankly deserves it.

Trump calls on Senate Republicans to "Get rid of the Filibuster"

President Trump's call to terminate the filibuster could alter the ways the Senate and congressional dealmaking operate.

Less than 1 year in office. I will give the Republicans credit if they refuse but we know they will.

What exactly stops him? Who has authority to do anything to the President. As long as a President has the support of their own party their power is unlimited. If Republicans hold the Senate he could simply appoint 20 new justices who are stooges like Alina Habba who then rule he can run. again. Its going to be a shit show. The constitution does have a remedy for these situations and I wouldnt blame anyone for using it.

Goodness what happened to Tucker

Nick is a vile human, but he is infinitely more interesting than Tucker. At least Nick is upfront with his worldview. Tucker obfuscates his positions behind Christianity and “hey I’m just asking questions”

Yeah but how do you not even double click on the "why do you love that murderous communist?"

I think it merits the thought that Tucker might just agree with Nick. Stalin did kill lots of Jews after all

Yeah, Nick Fuentes is a lot of things, but you can’t say he’s uninteresting. I actually wish the left would embrace debating with people like him. People can be vile and worth talking to. If you force *his* audience to hear you out by engaging with Nick’s worldview and showing how gross and cynical it is, you could actually do some good.
