    Coward's way out. "Honorable" would be facing the consequences for his actions, accepting the punishment, learning the lesson and becoming a better person. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Not with him.

    Did you notice the source for this? Neither did I. At least with the bullshit about Texas suing PP, he threw in a link from the "Washington Stand", which I had never heard of before. Once I read in the link about "Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue', I knew it was garbage. Turns out it's a 'news' outlet for the Family Research Council. Which has been named a Hate Group by the SPLC for it's attack on LBGTQ. And had Josh Duggar as Exec Director... Until reports of him molesting girls came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Research_Council

    Hi Jerry, As noted in the article, this is a plane from the same group that's been launching missiles at civilian targets in Ukraine. I've read elsewhere that the remaining planes from that base have been relocated way up north, to the Kola Peninsula. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/security/2023/08/russia-relocates-tu-22m3-bombers-kola-peninsula-after-drone-attack

    Not really. Hatred towards immigrants is a loooooong tradition in the US. The Irish & Italians in the mid-1800s, Eastern Europeans in the later 1800s, Chinese & Japanese in the later 1800s, the list is pretty long. Central & South Americans are just the current 'boogeymen' (and women).

    No. He meant homophily. The funny part is that the first time he used it, my reaction was somewhat similar to yours. Fortunately, Bill seems to be a thoughtful and considerate person, so when he used a word not a whole lot of people are familiar with, he also included the definition. 1 - Stop linking stupid, biased videos. Nobody watches them. 2 - Stop typing out long, unhinged, incomprehensible rants that make me wonder just how many fatties you smoked before logging on.

    Very true. But a LOT of what Trump did, and what he is getting in return is unprecedented. I'm not enough of a legal scholar to make the call, but when a couple long time members of the "Federalist Society" say that he should be disqualified, then it's well on it's way to being a serious discussion. Again, I don't know. But I can hope that it's a legit call and the SC backs it up. Edit to add: His cohorts are 'outraged' about everything. They haven't done shit. Not even large scale protests. In part because they saw how much Trump 'backed them up' after the insurrection attempt. In part because a lot of them are no longer available to protest. Because they're in jail or prison. Or out on bail and can't afford to get into trouble.

    EVERYTHING is in short supply. Ukraine has figured out how to destroy the supplies before they can reach the front lines. Due to the defensive fortifications (primarily the minefields), the 'spectacular breakthrough' like was seen last year is unlikely to happen. But the Russians are being slowly driven back. As Joe noted, they don't have to get all the way to the sea to cut off supply routes. Within artillery range of the coast roads will allow them to wreak havoc on Russian resupply efforts. Or, more accurately 'wreak more havoc'.

    Maybe. I could be a bit optimistic, but I'd like to think that maybe 5 justices aren't total Trump sycophants. Trump lost his challenges to the election at the SC. Again, maybe optimistic, but if enough conservative legal scholars agree that he's disqualified himself, it just might withstand challenges. And that's presuming Trump can get competent lawyers to challenge it.

    The calls for Trump to be disqualified from running for president under the 14th amendment are growing. And from some well known conservative legal scholars, too. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/19/politics/donald-trump-fourteenth-amendment-2024-race/index.html

    Easy. The oft-repeated misquote of Margaret Sanger. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pp-exterminating/fact-check-planned-parenthood-founder-margaret-sangers-1939-quote-on-exterminating-black-population-taken-out-of-context-idUSL2N2X11YN

    So Kid Rock shot up the case of Bud Light, ranted and raved about how horrible trans folks are and swore up and down that he'd NEVER touch Bud Light again. Right... https://www.tmz.com/2023/08/18/kid-rock-drinks-bud-light-beer-dylan-mulvaney-shoot-cases/ Seen at a Colt Ford show in Nashville... Drinking a few Bud Lights.

    Any significant crime committed in DC is a 'federal crime'. And I can't see in any way how warning Duncan not to testify, along with the 'If you come after me, I'm coming for YOU' post wouldn't be considered witness tampering. Of course, because he's rich & white, he'll get a pass, just like every other time.

    Well, there was a fella in Provo Utah that made a bunch of threats towards Biden & Harris. When the FBI came to talk to him, he said "come back with a warrant", and then proceeded to make threats towards the FBI. When the FBI came back with the warrant he asked for, he answered the door with a gun. He's now dead. https://apnews.com/article/utah-biden-fbi-assassination-threat-ba3cc1d3b2f6cca8bd429febdcf04219 Can't say I'm terribly surprised. Or in any way sorry. Note: He was fully within his rights to insist that they get a warrant before he'd let them in or talk to them. The warrant they 'came back with' was an arrest warrant. Because making death threats towards the President is an actual crime.

    Hi Jerry, 'Cool' is relative. Coffee helps.

    Ummmmm... No. Thalidomide was NEVER approved by the FDA 'back in the day', despite significant pressure from the pharmaceutical companies. It's currently approved for a few specific uses, with very strict restrictions for pregnant women.

    The Ruble has tanked pretty badly. Worth less than a penny each.

    Fun one: Sheri Tenpenny is a rather disgraceful doctor. She's been 'fringe' for a while and anti-vax for quite a while. In June of 2021, she testified before an Ohio State House committee that the Covid vaccine would magnetize the recipients and 'interface with cell phone towers' (really). After 350 complaints were made, the Ohio state Medical Board opened an investigation. She declined to participate. So, as a result of that non-participation, her medical license has been suspended indefinitely. To be clear: The board did NOT suspend her license because of her idiotic claims. It was because: Source: https://www.politicalflare.com/2023/08/ohio-doctor-claimed-vaccines-magnetized-people-now-shes-lost-her-medical-license/

    And, of course, every other country that has nationalized health care is seeing the exact same problems. (we really need a 'sarcasm font')

    Wow. CHOP zone was dismantled over 2 years ago. Slim being on top of current events as well as he does science.
  21. wolfriverjoe
    Oh please. He understands full well what those words mean. He just chooses to pretend that they mean stuff they don't. Standard tactic.
  22. wolfriverjoe
    Absolutely hilarious how well this proves what incompetent idiots all the Rs are. Slim's got access to ALL THAT PROOF of how corrupt Biden is, how much bribe money he's taken, all the sexual improprieties, all that stuff. And the best the Rs can do, with all their hearings, testimony, prosecutors and stuff is a couple minor tax charges and a gun paperwork charge. The Rs held hearings where Devon Archer testified, made LOTS of vague references to all sorts of crimes, but when the transcripts were finally released, they had NOTHING even remotely incriminating. Apparently, the Rs are now claiming they have 'evidence' on a hard drive... Somewhere. That they won't let anyone else see... Maybe they should subpoena Slim to testify. Along with his Fox videos. You know, the "news" network that evaded a libel suit by claiming that 'no reasonable person would believe this to be true'.

    And in places where those building codes are actually followed and enforced, the buildings stay standing in strong storms & earthquakes. Places where a nice fat bribe can save a TON of money because you don't have to follow them... Not so much. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/13/1156512284/turkey-earthquake-erdogan-building-safety

    Trump is REALLY good at 'not saying the exact words' that would be incriminating. He learned well from his mentor, Roy Cohn. Very much like the cliched 'nice place you have here, be a shame if something bad happened to it.' Of course, fools and idiots think that it's not a real threat. And supporters (usually both of the above) can argue that he didn't say the actual words, so that's not what he meant. One of the better examples is the 'bleach & UV' crap. He didn't actually say the words. But how many calls did poison control centers get about injecting bleach?

    I think the Ohio vote was a combination of 'keep your filthy hands off of women's bodies' AND "don't take away our right to decide what we want on everything.' While it was clearly (and clearly stated) about abortion rights, the deeper consequences were about the right of citizens to tell the government what to do and how to act. WIth all of the gerrymandering, the 'will of the people' has been hijacked quite well. R majorities (and sometimes supermajorities) in many states' legislatures, when the reality (as shown in statewide races like governor and US Senate) of far less support have damaged the idea of 'representative democracy' rather badly. This was one more step down that road. Fortunately, the people of Ohio saw through the smokescreens and defeated this.
