I agree with your analysis of her apology. I don't think I've ever considered what makes an apology sound genuine. I've always thought of it as a gut instinct. Thank you!

Do you think that the publicity from this statement, would make a second, more genuine attempt at an apology sound like attention seeking? I wonder what kind actions she could actually take to mitigate some of the damage she's caused. That's a rhetorical question, I think.

Out of curiosity, what would accountability look like to you, in this case. Since she's admitted guilt she's likely to be held at least partially responsible for the crimes of others if it's found her racist claim played a part in the crimes motivation. I assume she's likely to lose her job as well, but we'll have to wait and see i suppose.

The difference is this would be legal.

There's no difference with a broken court and we can't fix that with our current Congress.

I know you're arguing against fixing stuff,

What the hell are you on about about? Like actually what. You need to call down with that nonsense. Why are you being so combative? I'm not even the person you were first talking to.

To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment. You would have to take an untested claim to court, prove it, then still to apply that process to remove judges case by case after. Unfortunately, it's not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it's up to the "supreme" Court. I just can't see us convincing 6 of those justices to accept consequences for their and their party's actions. This would be a hell of a legal long shot.

If the vice president kills him, and they become the president. Was it an official act making them immune?

I feel like in order to be a political prisoner you would have to actually be in prison. You're almost there, not quite. We'll see if it comes full circle.

Please don't kill these insects. While these only eat pollen, their larvae are highly carnivorous and will eat tons of pests.

This is honestly pretty close to what I saw on Acid. I told my partner that I saw eyes and mouths on the wall, but non-threateningly. She thought I meant like a bleeding wall of gross flesh. Now i can show her what I meant.

And in the same breath they'll claim that sex and gender are the same "You are what is in your pants and only that!"

Help button should be greyed out. It is what it is, because there's nothing to be done. If help was available then it isn't what it will be yet.

That was a hell of a journey. Didn't think I would need a hiking stick to read a comment but here we are, my knees are tired.
