  • Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?

    Jump

  • No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.

  • Trump says ‘no one knows what magnets are’ during bizarre Oval Office exchange

    Jump

  • ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:

    Water fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist, Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

  • TIL why you're not supposed to cook or drink hot tap water - it's the lead (and other heavy metals)

    Jump

  • Wouldn’t that only apply if there’s lead plumbing inside your house in between the water heater and the tap?

  • As if people wouldn't today

    Jump

  • Oh, absolutely. I’m just here to call out the inconsistency.

  • If we’re going by “the Bible says,” then we also have to acknowledge that the Gospels clearly place the crucifixion right after Passover, which occurs in springtime, not in November. Either this eclipse isn’t the explanation for the alleged three hours of darkness, or the Gospels got the timeline of the Passion completely wrong.

  • Megathread: Charlie Kirk Shot at Utah Valley University Event

    Jump

  • Kirk wasn’t just some “talking bobblehead,” he was a moral monster with a large following who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings. The fact that his voice will no longer be a part of the national discourse is an unambiguously good thing and is worth celebrating, and I refuse to be ashamed for doing just that.

  • Megathread: Charlie Kirk Shot at Utah Valley University Event

    Jump

  • You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?

  • Trump Claims the Power to Summarily Kill Suspected Drug Smugglers

    Jump

  • No, that’s “The Americas.” In English, it’s widely understood that “America” on its own is referring to the USA.

  • I won't vote for any candidate that supports Israel

    Jump

  • But we know firsthand that strategy doesn’t work. We tried it less than a year ago, and wound up with a fascist soon-to-be-dictator who is also pedal-to-the-medal on Israel’s genocide, going so far as to arrest, imprison, and deport people for criticizing Israel.

    When both possible outcomes of an election are equally terrible for Palestinians, but one of the possibilities is worse than the other in virtually every other aspect, it makes no sense to have Israel-Palestine be the deciding factor. Not voting for one of the two possible outcomes is just taking your hands off the wheel and letting someone else decide for you.

  • How slow is the slowest theoretical large meteor encounter?

    Jump

  • 9.8m/s^2 isn’t a speed. It’s a rate of acceleration; it tells you how fast your speed is changing. The minimum speed an object can impact the planet is equal to “escape velocity”—the speed you’d need to launch an object from the surface so it escapes the Earth’s gravity permanently. In the Earth’s case, that speed is about 40,000 km/hr or 25,000 mph.

    I believe in ghosts and aliens because of statistics. What do you think?

    Jump

  • An assumption of 99% false sightings is not a statistic. Statistics are analyses of measured data, not assumptions. To know the actual percentage of true sightings, you’d first have to confirm that some sightings are actually true, which would require some actual evidence of ghosts/aliens.

    Consider the inverse for a moment: if ghosts/aliens don’t actually exist, then the percentage of false sightings must be 100%, not 99.9%. As long as you start with the assumption that there are some true sightings, you’re just starting with the assumption that ghosts/aliens are real.

  • What's the funniest belief you had when you were a child ?

  • We were there monkeys all along

  • Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.
