That is called a "prohibitive clause." They are very common.

A "poison pill" spoils a deal before it's made. This deal was made. The terms are in effect.

ICE's thugs are not cops nor police. It is unlawful for them to proclaim or portray themselves as such.

Everyone has the right to refuse to consent to a search of thier person, belongings, or home. Say, “I do not consent to a search.”

Being undocumented is not a crime, it's a civil violation.

Rosalind Elsie Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958) was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made contributions to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), viruses, coal, and graphite. Although her works on coal and viruses were appreciated in her lifetime, her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely recognized posthumously.

James Watson had two reasons to steal Rosalind Franklin's work. She was Jewish, but most damming of all; she was a woman.

I'll always give Nancy Pelosi credit for holding the fort on January 6th and getting Biden's election victory certified.

The constitution is an anachronism; its certification process an example. A corrupt president and party is operating unlawfully with little hindrance due to its ambiguities.

Typical spiel of distorted perceptions and mischaracterizations by S.E. Cupp. The centrist approach is the reason democrats have been losing.

The party needs to motivate the base and stop courting so-called moderates and independents.

“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating the obvious... At first Ford formed a theory to account for this human behaviour. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths seize up. After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favour of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working."

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

a man is holding a flute and says i do not avoid women but i do deny them my essence Alt: Actor Sterling Hayden as Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. "I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily, I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.”

a man in a suit is talking to another man in front of a batman mask . Alt: "Some people just want to watch the world burn."
