>A judge’s very mild personal opinion about Joe Biden and China has absolutely nothing to do with their job.
I hardly think accusing POTUS of treason is "mild". And spreading unproven conspiracies shows a lack of critical thinking and judgement skills needed for his position. Especially since he's reciting Trump's exact words in some of his posts. Whether it affects his job or not will be determined by his decisions. We have seen out of Texas that biased political affiliation can in fact affect a judge's decisions though. At the very least, he can be 100% fair and impartial in every decision he makes, but his posts show he has a political bias and will leave doubt in a lot of people's minds.

Reply to What are some bands that have “made it” in Massachusetts in the last five years? by camknoppmusic
Not sure what counts as making it anymore, but Shallow Pools just got signed to Equal Vision Records, so that's pretty dope.
Juice is another band from the area that's been getting some notice.
And I know they've been around for way longer than 15 years, but Four Year Strong is still killing it.

>And shouldn’t licenses be obtainable to those whom have followed laws already and not illegally entered a country?
Whether you like it or not, undocumented immigrants live in the state. They have jobs they need to get to and require transportation. They're going to drive regardless if they have a license or not. Allowing them a license means they've been tested and proven they can drive safely. It also means they can obtain insurance, which is better for everyone. Vote no if you want, but it hurts more than just the undocumented immigrants.

Depends on where you are. From MA, Monadnock is probably the closest mountain with a great view, but it will be super busy there. If you're willing to drive further to Franconia, Mt Pemigewasset has a great view and is an easy hike. And another 20 minutes past that, you can go to Middle and North Sugarloaf. Again, easy hike to either peak. Middle has the best view, but North's is also fantastic.
If those are too far, the lakes region has a few less spectacular mountains, but still great views. Belknap has a firetower that let's you see to Boston on a good day. Gunstock has a gondola and a store with a viewing deck on its peak. Nearby that is also Mt Major, another popular one with a view over Winnipesaukee.

Only came here to suggest Ralph's. It was my favorite bar when I was a student in the area.

Did you not read the whole article? He specifically calls Biden corrupt and traitorous and accuses him of taking kickbacks from China and Ukraine. He takes a shot at Pelosi. He rants about Hunter's laptop, refers to Trump as the most investigated president in history, and makes the whole "orange man bad" joke. This isn't a judge demonstrating conservative thought. This is a judge showing clear bias based on unfounded accusations and conspiracies. As a judge, evidence should be his basis of decisions, not his political bias. This doesn't just affect the judge either. Showing impartiality can cause a loss of faith in the whole MA court system. He deserves to be reprimanded.
