They're not just protecting him, they're protecting themselves. If Clarence Thomas has to disclose his trips, so should they.

In my opinion, everything should be transparent for public servants—every penny received, every vote cast. If you want people to trust you, your actions need to be open and clear. When someone rushes to defend Thomas or any public figure in a similar position, my first thought is: What are they trying to hide? Ethics shouldn't be optional. You weren't elected because you’re cool and people liked you—you were elected to serve and represent the people. Unfortunately, it seems many elected officials have forgotten that. Those who've been in office too long have likely forgotten it entirely.

It's time to remind them. If they won't pass term limits, we can enforce them by not re-electing those who fail to live up to their promises. If an official doesn't follow through on their campaign pledges, we need to vote them out. It's time for Americans to take this country back. We need to stop letting the two-party system distract us. Let's break free from the stranglehold of the Democratic and Republican parties and focus on a system where people come first and politicians are held accountable to the public, not the other way around.

I’m just shocked that the NYPD didn’t kill 50% of the people arrested. Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth.

I say this as a NY’er and as a person whose personal experiences with them have taught me that they’re absolute trash

In America, if a corner exists a company will cut it.

Does this fucker not get it? State laws don’t supersede federal laws.

Hey all,

It’s been nearly a year since I joined this amazing community and, first The Fediverse is awesome!!! Second, it’s difficult AF to navigate.

So, in the spirit of expanding the Fediverse; what’s your favorite community??

As the title suggests, when did this happen? How?

In my humble opinion, chicken wings should be eaten with your hands. Almost, as savagely, as ribs. But when the hell did people start eating them with utensils? It just, seems wrong on so many levels.

Approval ratings mean nothing to lifetime appointments. Nobody should hold a position forever. If they wanna keep them there for life, then at least make them subject to review every X years

I want stricter enforcement on anyone with power, not less. If you have the power to create and/or enforce the laws of the nation you should be held at a higher standard to uphold them.

Buying Twitter was never about him making money. It was about giving shithead, likeminded assholes, like him, a place to openly spew their vitriol hate speech without fear of bans or repercussions.

Delete your account if you have one; don’t share links to his site and FFS let’s stop allowing hatred to have an open forum or a place within proper society.

He’s not carrying water for the facists, he IS a fascist and they’re trying to spill that water on everyone in an attempt to undermine people’s freedoms. Fuck him and fuck his kind

There are some bizarre and pointless laws in this country.

After seeing @Some_Emo_Chick@lemmy.world‘s post I got hungry and attempted to make my own version of Salmon with Bell Pepper Cream Sauce.

This one is pan fried instead of being baked. Here’s my recipe:

-Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper.

-On Medium heat, cook salmon for about 5 mins per side, or to your preference.

-Set salmon aside.

-In the same pan, add 1 Tbsp of butter and as much diced garlic as you enjoy, we go hard in our house so I’ll leave this one up to you.

  • When you start to see the garlic turn golden add 1 diced bell pepper.

-Cook the bell pepper together with the garlic until the pepper begins to soften and then add spinach leaves, for this recipe about 2-3 cups were used.

-Once the spinach leaves start to wilt, add 4oz of heavy cream along with 2 Tbsp of Pecorino Romano cheese (you can swap out for Parmesan cheese, if thats your preference).

-Add seasonings, this is going to be an area thats up for interpretation. Some people like Salt & Pepper, that would be fine here. We like a bit more spice and flavor in our food and went with a homemade blend of a cajun-blackened style mix. The choice is yours, but do something or it with be bland and milky.

-Mix everything together and when your sauce begins to simmer, reduce your heat to low and add your salmon back into the pan.

-Cook together for a few minutes, scooping the sauce on top of the salmon as you do.

Now if you were going to have pasta, this sauce would work great as an Alfredo-esque sauce and you could serve it with fettuccine or your favorite pasta. We went with quinoa cause it was in the cabinet and that tasted really well when scooped with the sauce. I could also see rice (white, basmati, wild, etc) tasting good here, same with potatoes.

Whatever side you choose, go bland and pull in the flavor from your sauce.
