You should never judge a lawyer by his client.

In America everyone has a right to a lawyer. Even that guy.

I read the book when it came out. One of the few books I've ever pre-ordered just because it was written by Andy Weir. I wasn't disappointed.

I'll say, the single best part about it is that the story has the best supporting character since Chewbacca.

Democrats would have won every election since 2004 if it wasn't for GOP efforts to disenfranchise voters (and also Democrats negligence in protecting those voters from disenfranchisement.)

You should watch the Scouts "Safe Guarding Youth Training" program.

The scouts very likely have stricter youth protection policies then your kid's school does.

I really recommend you actually read some of the requirements.

The Scouts are very, I would say, "classically conservative", meaning they lean very heavy on traditional conservative values, like helping others and being an active member of a community. Yes it's very patriotic, but it's patriotic from a position of service to your community and participation in you local democracy. I honestly can't think of anything "fascist" at all. (The fact that MAGA hates the boy scouts should be evidence enough of this.)

Is that like ROTC in the US?

The Supreme Court literally ruled that racism was over when they overturned the voting rights act.

If he not dead he'll be on the ticket.

If he dead it'll be his son on the ticket.

Just to be clear, "morally straight" does not mean "sexually straight".

And yes, "mentally awake" literally means "woke". (Seriously. The scouts have been literally teaching "woke" for over 100 years. It's actually a very progressive organization.)

Does your son play Rec or Select baseball. My kid plays on a select team and I don't know any team that does no travel at all.

(There just generally aren't enough local tournaments to even make that possible and still fill out a season.)
