Retired trial lawyer/teacher Political realist & moderate on most issues Liberal on some- conservative on others It’s been a while since I voted for a Republican. I will block you for making casual Hitler or Nazi analogies - you think too highly of them

Houses in California have sprinkler systems? Who knew?
I want to know who did that regardless. That said, we know those who committed those crimes will be rich & powerful because Epstein was not inviting average Joes, who could not have afforded his "services" in the first place. And that's the overriding reason why we still don't know who they are
So much for them respecting the US because of him.
Uh. That's bribery.
He was. Born and raised.
Follow the money. Always follow the money.
Polio is still incurable.

"Fierce defiance"? What's that? I hear the same thing about Philadelphia but that's from politicians in the City & never from people living in West or North Philadelphia. Sending in the NG is idiotic, unsustainable, & likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act if not violative of the 10th Amend.

He has a worthy successor in Zahn Tokiya-ku McClarnon, with whom he starred in Longmire.
That's a loss for all of us, but he's leaving many good memories.
That’s gibberish anyway.

How many of these do will SCOTUS invoke to uphold the tariffs or delay a decision for as long as possible? Deference to the presidency; standing; political question; unresolved issue of the meaning of "emergency" requiring yrs of litigation; statutory interpretation giving unlimited power to the WH.
Ask Tlaib.
Cassidy, Barrasso and Paul ought to be doing penance for violating their Hippocratic oath.
And televise it.
Democrats have a favorability rating of -21. The GOP's: -11. Both stink but to say the GOP is worse off than Dems is wrong & anyone believing the Dems are doing at all OK with an approval rating at a 30 yrs low is fooling himself & enjoying a dangerous comfort level. Who gets the blame for that?

There have been reports over the yrs that Hispanics who immigrated legally do not support illegal immigration no matter who is doing it. They are apparently more principled than people who frame every issue in terms of race or ethnicity to the point of tribalism. EG www.newsweek.com/hispanic-sup...
Still worried Putin will escalate so do nothing while Putin escalates. What was the theory of insanity Einstein postulated? Oh yeah: Doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result. Why not at least start with 50 billion euros & go from there? Then another 50 every two weeks.
Maybe the people who anted to primary Manchin with someone like Bernie need to see this.

Families over billionaires always.
Interesting. Are they daring Russia to attack a civilian airliner?
I have no idea why any of those three were chosen for leadership positions. Not one has the skills or charisma for the job.
Yoiu remind me of something attributed to William F Buckley, Jr.in the context of casual Nazi analogies. You wither have no idea what actual Nazis are or you think too highly of them.
Did anyone ask him if he got rid of all his investments and put everything he has in gold and cash? Because people predicting an economic apocalypse who haven't done that are BSing
When someone mentions vaccine denial you think of Josef Mengele?

Pa has a Dem governor but for years both chambers of the legislature were run by the GOP. Philly tried passing gun laws but the GOP state legislature nullified them
Cities are creatures of the state in which they exist. They are subordinated for the most part to the state government. How many of those cities are in GOP run states? And how many have gun problems because they abut states with few gun laws? Chicago net to Indiana comes readily to mind.
If it's been 20 years, it's working for her. What difference does it make that a few people booed her? For whatever reason, Mainers keep electing her. I don't get it but my state elected Fetterman (instead of nominating Lamb), and McCormick. So who am I to judge?
As a member of the Narcissist Club I assure you I do not need that or anything else explained to me because I know more about condescension that anyone, ever, like you've never seen before. People come up to me with tears in their eyes, lips quivering & legs shaking and say so. They call me "sir."
So what? No matter what he "proposes", no matter how incoherent, ineffectual or impractical, they will fall all over each other to praise it and pass it.
Sure, when you rightly consider SCOTUS a special interest group.
Paul may not mind.
Serious question. Are these aid programs something the country is forever committed to and which no other country or countries can take over in whole or in part? Because if that’s what they turn into, maybe we should never start or join another one. Circumstances change.

You are trying to engage with the people who thought someone in the mold of Bernie Sanders should primary Joe Manchin because they know that West Virginia really wants and would elect a Democratic Socialist. Don't bother.
That’s all they can do because of the Posse Comitatus Act They are stage props. Part of the scenery.
Scalia wrote the opinion holding that flag burning was protected speech. He didn’t say you could burn one where and whenever you chose. Maybe that’s the issue here. Otherwise it’s a clearly established constitutional right and not protected by qualified immunity.
There are literally hundreds of cases throughout the country at all levels of courts saying the right to vote is sacrosanct & anything that infringes on it must have a compelling public purpose. A ballot received on time ipso facto was mailed on time. If is has no date it was still mailed on time.
You make a good point. Jeffries making a race issue out of it undermines it. It's like a gag reflex with too many Dems. He must be much less concerned with the way Trump goes after Powell.
I'm watching a clip of the mayor of Chicago refusing to say yes or no to "Would more police on the streets of Chicago make the city safer?" He just refuses. He can't even say "Yes, but we also need yada, yada yada . . " What is the demographic this idiocy appeals to?
Don’t let Congress off the hook. Or SCOTUS.
I knew plaintiffs’ lawyers who would do that: $5 million for a broken collarbone, and defenses attorneys who’d respond with something like “negative $4,950,250”.
Is anyone suggesting there is no other place for an IV that would not be as visible as the backs of both hands? On a man who is rarely seen in short sleeves, and never in shorts?

Some are silly and obnoxious and because they were used so frequently, and often foolishly, they ought to be avoided even if only because they’re cliches. A lot depends on context and knowing your audience.

Only this site? That’s a uniquely targeted law.
They aren’t. Democrats unilaterally disarmed in California with regard to gerrymandering at the same time the GOP was planning to use it as a weapon.
I think I’ll reserve judgment until this plays out. It’s not like Bolton is a saint.

Golf. Not gold.
That was Snoop’s line in the Miami Vice movie when he was supposed to pose as a caddy. Asked if he knew anything about gold he said no, but he knows a lot about grass. As my having memory recalls.
That actor better cash in now because if anyone ever got type cast it’s him. Because he’s so good in that role.
