politics @lemmy.world•Speaker Johnson pleads with Republicans to keep concerns private after tumultuous week
3·19 days agoI thought fellowship was a very religiously charged word and implied praying together - turns out I’m likely wrong about the prayer.
Can I just check that the normal well adjusted statesmen and women prayed for guidance, as in they couldn’t just think about the issue, weigh up the pros and cons, evaluate the long and short term consequences, but instead had to appeal to some mystical higher power …!? Wtf is wrong with people.

politics @lemmy.world•Mike Johnson says lawmakers should be able to continue owning stocks
01·21 days agoInteresting idea. I can see it as a real disincentive to capable people who might otherwise be interested in politics. I was thinking perhaps they could be limited to index funds. Otherwise a politician might try to hide their deals via a spouse, family member, or even something more extreme.

2·21 days agoGood to see the free market in action. I’m sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•DAE in their 30s/40s/50s not really feel like an adult?
1·1 month agoNo, I don’t feel like a real adult 😅
But I suppose I try to remember lessons I’ve learned and avoid the same mistakes where possible.

4·5 months agoJackie Perczek, another of Black’s law partners, said she learned from him that it was a lawyer’s duty to “fiercely battle the oppressors and support the underdog.”
Article includes lots of famous, rich, powerful clients, then throws this quote in. Perhaps my understanding of the word “underdog” is really different.

11·6 months agoAnyone can swear, but I don’t see why we need to have swear words in the news. Just because the biggly orange guy thinks it’s appropriate to swear, doesn’t mean we need to lower the standard in the press.
