They are allowed in many countries. Fun Facts from a Quora post: The UK, Ireland, and New Zealand do not permit conjugal visits. Conjugal visits are allowed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, india, Israel, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Spain. In the US, conjugal visits are not allowed in Federal prisons, but California, New York, Mississippi, Washington, and Connecticut permit them. The US peak was in 1990, when 17 States permitted conjugal visits, but more than a dozen have rescinded them. Why are they allowed? There are many reasons given for permitting conjugal visits, including that they encourage better behavior by prisoners so the a visit would not be denied. Some places cite the mental health benefits, the improved facilitation of transition back to normal life after release, the stabilization of marriages, emotional benefits, and intimate personal contact with others as a basic human right not to be denied.

You are probably right, given the amount of "buyer's remorse" we have been seeing so far, which only has to get worse as Elon keeps running amok while the economy looks like it will fall off a cliff.

jonmx conveniently keeps overlooking the exact wording of what is required.

Don't try to confuse jonny with the facts.

Well, this makes sense of his actions. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1903483113612718240 (link to NYT piece) One possible explanation for Trump targeting Columbia University: Decades ago, Columbia refused to pay Trump $400 million. The university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

Les Négresses Vertes - Après La Pluie (1994) French music group that combines "world music" with elements of alternative rock.

None of them own one. Oh, wait...

And all the Cubans who voted for Trump in Florida are cheering this...Oh, wait, maybe not.

All he and Musk have done is create bad feelings coming out of thousands of people...and it has only just started.

Rhetorical question.

https://x.com/atrupar/status/1903108301786628420 Trump announces that the Small Business Administration will immediately handle all federal student loans, and RFK Jr is now in charge of "handling special needs and all of the nutrition programs and everything else."

Thread is a twofer: both mean-spirted (celebrating deportations of those married to US citizens who have been law abiding citizens since arriving in the country) and racist (see taco emoji). Told you all this was going to happen, it wasn't just to be the criminals that ICE and Trump would be going after.

And the MAGA folks here cheer this on, right? Or do some want to criticize and condemn Putin for this for a change?

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1902036101755543728 BREAKING: Chief Justice John Roberts issues a rare statement rebuking Trump's call to impeach judges who rule against the admin: "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

https://x.com/Public_Citizen/status/1902823566166335666 Trump cannot dismantle the Department of Education without the approval of Congress. He’s breaking the law. Again. Maybe if he focused more on educating himself instead of attacking education, he’d know that.

No, but it sure seems like quite a few in this forum do.

I think "applaud" would be even more appropriate.

Not until it gets a lot worse and Latinos here start seeing their grandparents, uncles, aunts, along with friends, neighbors and co-workers being rounded up and deported in the mass sweeps that are coming.

I think many Latinos who voted for Trump are now regretting it, as they weren't expecting anything like this (people who have lived here for 35 years and have been law abiding citizens during that time being deported).

After posting in every political thread in this forum, HT doesn't have any time left to actually watch the news.

If he thinks that is human trafficking as most people define it or understand it, then he doesn't have a clue.

Of course a court has the jurisdiction to look into these matters, that is basic civics.
