    I believe he can only post when he is not on one of his frequent time outs. That may be a large influence on his schedule.

    Yes, somehow they decided that having your religious views offended did not you standing to sue.

    Roberts must have pushed the super catholic justices hard to get that result. The FDA is still allowed to approve drugs. But the states are still allowed to forbid prescribing them for inducing abortions.

    And both are now pretty much obsolete oddities. You can't buy a PdF rig. You can still get a Racer but very few do and almost all of them sold do not have the cross connected RSL system. Most people buying new containers opt for one with a MARD system.

    The right wing media repeats all these things over and over. It works, after hearing the news source enough times all the bullshit just becomes fact in the minds of the listeners. It's just the same as cheering for your local sports team. There is no good reason to believe they are better people, but it doesn't matter you support your team.

    And the big problem with that in my mind is that the main reason for having an RSL is that too many people were doing a cutaway and then forgetting to deploy. Now the double sided RSL requires the same group of people to remember to disconnect it if they have a two out. Admittedly a fairly uncommon scenario, but that is part of the reason people forget procedures. The need is uncommon.

    Most of the people who seem concerned about climate change are not willing to give up their cars and become bus riders. Or their vacations on far away continents, or skydiving etc. Myself included. Billvon feels living in San Diego and using solar helps, and maybe it does by a tiny fraction, but so what? Party on.

    Trains are not unneeded. They are a key part of how our systems work. There is nothing that replaces them so why do you consider them antiquated?

    I wish. Winnipeg has only a small number of Mexican restaurants. I pine for Carne Asada.

    Shameful

    gowlerk replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner

    Are you trying to say that the USA can't afford universal healthcare because it lacks revenue from oil and gas extraction? If not then what is the point of this deflection?

    You are either with us or against us. That was the American position after 9-11 and it is the current Israeli position.

    Many of the Sandy Hook victims should be celebrating their high school graduation this year.

    That's an interesting take on what I said. Doesn't change the fact that paternalistic religions have a long history of what we now consider to be statutory rape.

    There was no right wing media and no social media then. But the nation was seriously divided nonetheless.

    Except that those are merely the first 34 of many convictions likely to follow. He could easily become 45 again.

    You and all of us could also take the view that it is not a shameful day for America. Rather it is a day that shows the strength of the system in its ability to hold such a person accountable. It is a shameful day for Trump but a proud day for the nation.

    Yes, you disagree with Jerry. But do you disagree with Mike Johnson. Knowing that he finds the verdict shameful, not his criminal leader?

    There is currently record cold happening in Chile. It all balances out. They are wearing sweaters and gloves and such. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/18/americas/chile-may-temperature-cold-intl-latam/index.html#:~:text=After an eight-day “cold,with the Chilean Meteorologic Directorate.

    And random chaos. You forgot random chaos.

    As a libtard I am a strong believer in rehabilitation of felons. I would suggest 3 months or so in a NY penitentiary followed by a few more in a halfway house and then full parole. That would probably help him to mend his ways.

    The effect of this verdict is hard to predict. But Trump's spin is not. He will posistion this as NY state elite Ds against all the little people in the rest of the nation who he is fighting for. And it may go over well in places like Georgia and Michigan and other swing states.

    It will take a long time to get such a case out of the State system and before Federal courts.

    Maybe we could set up a Go Fund Me to try and buy Keith's vote.

    Is he allowed to vote in Florida?

    So, are you saying that the cure for cancer is less elusive than the cure for Trump?
