Re: US President Joe Biden

If you search for "biden ice cream", he does seem to have a thing about it. The ice cream van audio may be fake, but the video is real. There is a reason the two things were linked.
If it had been about anyone but a Democrat, then it would've been featured widely on things like SNL.

The ice-cream and (lack of) lucidity are mentioned in this SNL cold open…

Re: US President Joe Biden

Biden is going to get to pick a Supreme Court Justice before the Democrats lose Congress: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen...tice-retiring/

At 83 Breyer probably didn't want to make the same mistake as Ginsburg in holding on and letting a Republican fill the seat on a bench that already has a majority of conservatives.

Anybody would think that the Us Supreme Court was all about Law, and not about personal opinions.

Re: US President Joe Biden

It's been political for a very long time. The more recent issue for me is that it's become more partisan in how the politics work. At one point it was possible for both sides to agree on appointments. That seems to have gone now.

But then in the US other levels of judges stand for direct election with party affiliation as do other roles in the justice system.

I didn't say it was a good system but one which has direct political votes on appointments is inherently political.

The US Supreme Court may end up directly deciding whether Trump can be / is President again, along with decisions brought by states that are following his lead even at the moment.

Decisions should be based upon whether they are legally correct, not whether somebody likes it or not. You can't have Supreme Court matters decided based on which way "the wind is blowing".

PREJUDICE. To decide beforehand; to lean in favor of one side of a cause for some reason or other than its justice.

That is about his wife.
How many people were killed(including an eight year old girl) by BLM protesters?

I don't disagree with that, but the theory of what they should do and the practise of what they're doing isn't the same.

This isn't an argument about BLM, it's about the Supreme Court.

It sounds like you must know the answer if you know the age of one of the people?

And you really believe that the only dissenting opinion wasn’t influenced by his wife, who was directly affected by the decision?

Right….
