So, essentially you are saying that Brawndo is what plants crave - it's got electrolytes!
This is how you see our rights.
We know.

I ain't playing that game with you Z. You made the accusation on a public forum calling a woman a HO so it's up to you to provide your ''proof''. Otherwise you are just a name caller spewing in the wind.

Yes, we see your rights that aren't, and your freedom that isn't, as a joke.

Agreed, I was generalizing for brevity. That is the great majority of what I see here and around myself personally, is that most people will hate Trump and in the same breathe support Biden but ever have anything they actually like about him other than he is not Trump.
I suppose some people may say they support Biden just to mess with the Trump supporters.
That is what I personally saw and heard n 202 is that people were voting for the "Better of 2 evils" and that is just a piss poor way of voting for anything.
That is a big problem with US (and some other countries) politics, the lack of choice.
I do not claim that any country or it's people are stupid or blind to what is going on here in the US. It is sad to hear that the variety of media shared outside of the US is better than what we share inside. I don't wish it the exact opposite but at least for the MSM here at home be as good as what you get in your country.
Our media is not all good, but is varied, and variation in opinions and biases makes it easier for the population to make their own mind about things.
All in all, for the most part, the hate that I see for Trump has almost no merit. It is almost always a blind hatred for someone they know little to nothing about and a blind support for the same.
I suppose the same applies to all famous people. Politicians have the added bonus of politics.
Information is everyone's best friend and the more research that people do the better people can prepare themselves to deny the ignorance that surrounds them come Nov 2024.
Exactly, information is very important, that's why some use it as a weapon, trying to control what information people can get, some by trying to hide it, some by creating their own version of the real information and spreading it.
Returning to the topic, Time magazine's cover, either with Kamala Harris or Donald Trump is also information, but information that is only hinting at something, to make people create the rest of the information.

That photo is really powerful. I wonder if the photographer who took it just handed it over to the public or if he has ''rights'' to it's patent. I"m sure there are parties that would pay big bucks for that copyright.
Is your avatar also a creation of yours? It is succinct and the symmetry of it is simple yet demonstrative.

Im sorry but we have Un named rights as well in the COTUS so we still got more than 12. Also EFF the UN and its rigthts they ALLOW you to have,and not automatically have from God. In reality most of yours are combined under the COTUS and as such breaking them down seperately is a sneaky way to claim yall have more. Ya dont.
Right to remedy is covered by the 1st amendment,
The phrase “presumption of innocence” is not in the Constitution. However, the Fifth Amendment has the due process clause. The Fourteenth Amendment extends the Bill of Rights to the states. Means we have a trial by our peers and are presumed innocent by law until found guilty.
If you are accused of a criminal act, you have the right to be presumed innocent. This vital principle protects you by shifting the burden of proof to the prosecutor. In addition, the Constitution also gives different protections to the defendant. These include:
The right to remain silent (Fifth Amendment)
The right to an attorney (Sixth Amendment)
Protection against self-incrimination (Fifth Amendment)
Right to a jury trial (Sixth Amendment)
The right to a jury trial does not apply to all criminal charges. Some petty offenses do not come with the right to a trial by jury.

The 5th Amendment does not wholly and exclusively only apply to capital and infamous crime and is actually quite general.
You'll notice in the text that you provided of the 5th Amendment that the semicolon is present several times. This is critical because it allows us to understand that the 5th Amendment should be read and understood as a list of independent statements.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger;
nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Do you think that the 5th Amendment allows us to be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process if it's not a capital crime or something? Do you think those protections only exist if you've been indicted by a grand jury?
Confession under duress is a violation of the 5th amendment. Why do you think confessions get thrown out?
What rights do you think we think we have that we don't? Because it seems to me that you're attempting to argue our bill of rights without understanding the full context and meaning behind the amendments.
You're right about slavery and involuntary servitude. There's a reason that it specifically clarifies 'except as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted'. Incarceration for being convicted of a crime is a form of slavery and involuntary servitude. Without the clarification provided in the 13th Amendment, we would be legally incapable of punishing anyone for a crime beyond a fine or death. And no, they cannot just 'enslave' someone purely by charging them with a crime. Did the word "Convicted" stop having a meaning?

Unless they express themselves in a manner that you disagree with.
Then the gov't should silence them and lock them up. Either with your support or with your direction.
But you'll never get your hands dirty.........
Ever the fascist authoritarian Chro, and you just can't help yourself.
