So the official government listing there is flagrantly false?

The Constitution does not specify any "technical" requirement for a POTUS speech to be a SOTU speech. The requirement is clearly qualitative, and the 2017 speech qualifies… or am I missing something?

Hmmm…

1st Q: Is there ANY way to search the "statutes at large" (the actual LAWS passed by Congress) without looking at PDFs? (which make it difficult to search…) (or something WORSE than pdf…) WTAF?!

The "alternative" is to look at the "US Code" which is some shit lawfags put together to say what the "real law" is. But the "real law" is what Congress passed.

2: That particular act seems to establish the GAO (Government Accounting Office). This is often depicted as a "politically neutral" agency of the legislative branch. But that's odd on the surface. Isn't the legislature the MOST overtly political branch of the federal government? By design? It is SUPPOSED to be reperesenting the people, however misguided they be… Maybe this is all some fuckery…

3: as for SOTU being "financial health".. there is jackshit in the Constitution to support this. And on a philosophical level, I believe Plato mocked this idea in the Gorgias.

I like Vox Day and think he's often got great insights even if I also think he is sometimes WAY WAY off the mark. But I've gotta say that when he gets fixated on attacking "false friends" as he sees them, like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, he is not at his best. I don't particularly care about those two at all… it's just that he is MUCH better when he is focused on something positive.

>someone saw some fuckin' and no one was damaged by it. those cultures have FAR less incidence of sexual violence.

In the long run, privacy is probably a good thing, insofar as it fosters intimacy.

But yeah.

>EXACTLY. being "good" wouldn't mean shit if there wasn't temptation to be resisted.

 

EXACTLY. And in this case, it is easy (if you think) to come to a genuine understanding of WHY it would be genuinely BAD to succumb to such a tempation.

By contrast, some deluded souls pretend they have no temptations at all. And so when the test comes they have NO IDEA how to resist them.

And then we get actual genocide and shit like that.
