Usually people just say the words Corporation for Bublic Proadcasting instead of the initials

If anyone's interested, the SAG awards on TNT are just a string of "**** you, Trump, this **** is unAmerican" acceptance speeches. Basically a raffle to see who gets to say it.

Everyone please add Riverman to their ignore lists. In lieu of me not having time to host his public, 2+2 career in any event, funeral. I can do this, it would just take engagement over a long time span, wasting time and all of that. And, his posts would eventually just be 'lol' ala THAY3R, because he'll be unintentionally burying himself. Also, I'm, like, a nice person.

There is one summary for H.R.586. Bill summaries are authored by CRS.
Shown Here:
Introduced in House (01/17/2017)

Sanctity of Human Life Act

This bill declares that: (1) the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human and is a person's most fundamental right; (2) each human life begins with fertilization, cloning, or its equivalent, at which time every human has all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood; and (3) Congress, each state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory have the authority to protect all human lives.

The bolded is just hilariously bad, the idiot(s) who drafted this gave exactly zero consideration even for a brief moment to its implications beyond abortion. You need not have spent a single day in a law school classroom to see the obvious and far-reaching awfulness here. Just a ****ing clown show. And this isn't on Trump, at all. This is Your Right Wing in USA#1 today

That ban, and other actions like it, was precisely what around 50% of Trump's voters were hoping for when they pulled the lever. The term "deplorables" hasn't become popular for nothing.

man, clothes melting sounds like an unpleasant death.

Also sounds weird to say more likely to be killed by clothes, they don't spontaneously melt. It'd be secondary to a fire or whatever.

Uh, wait a minute. 900 people in the US are killed every year by melting clothes? SEEMS DUBIOUS. Vox needs to write a "how is Vox.com still a thing, explained"

I think it's probably fake given the timing of tweets earlier today compared to Trump's tweets.

It says "melting or igniting". What they mean is, you're wearing nylon clothes or something, you dangle them too close to an open flame, whoosh. Wouldn't shock me at all if that was 900 a year. I imagine it mostly kills people who are asleep by a fire (possibly drunk) and are engulfed in flames before they react.

Just found a source for clothing ignition deaths in Australia circa 1998. There were 13. Australia's population is about 1/14th the US's, so the equivalent would be 182. There are way more cold areas/seasons in the US, plus add more on for Americans being dumber and I think we can get to 900.
