    The election 2024 Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Indeed. I just heard about Florida's election police. Apparently their mission is to keep elections honest. It seems they are currently going to the homes of citizens who signed a petition to put...

    The election 2024 Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Isn't voting in two different states in the same election is voter fraud? Maybe it's different when the election involves both state and national candidates. If he owns residences in both states,...

    I'd have to look it up, but I seem to remember something to do with legal issues. He's not subject to the same constraints as other appointed officials. BRB ... OK ... In 1971 the postal service...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    No one voted just for Biden in the primary, There was never any attempt to drop Harris from the ticket nor any serious discussion that she should be, that I saw. They voted for the Biden-Harris...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What he's trying to do is to somehow move the Overton window so that he doesn't have to engage with anyone who doesn't agree with him. Dismissive labels like "clapping seals" who "chime in" to...

    How should I handle CNA

    heron replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info. Good luck in the new facility. The best way to deal with workplace toxicity is to not let it go there to begin with. Putting slackers and bullies in check is just as important as...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I remember hearing about him. Not impressed. Speaking of Covid and taxpayer money, I wonder how much was spent on that Regeneron program DeSantis was so proud of? Just asking. Not being a...

    How should I handle CNA

    heron replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

    You're making a lot of assumptions about the CNA based on very little information. May I remind you that we only have one side of the story? The request as reported was both appropriate and...

    How should I handle CNA

    Other users with better people skills than I have will be able to give more specific advice. This is just my thoughts as I read your post. The first person to reach out to is the CNA in question,...

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thank you. Any time this guy has to deal with pressure he defaults to this nonsense. I'm sure we should NOT be handing the nuclear codes to this guy, especially if he manages to pack the armed forces...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Trump is a racist and has been known as such since the '70s. Not about to litigate that yet again. His history is available for anyone to see. Read it. Also not going to re-litigate systemic...

    You're right, I didn't relate my comment back to the specific group under discussion. My bad. Not going to do that now, either. It would involve a long dissertation on the deliberate distortion of...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What on earth are you talking about? I wasn't discussing political independents. I was giving an example of a pejorative label applied by the far right to those who oppose them, aka false advertising,...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I wouldn't call the false advertising "soft" necessarily. More like "subtle". Think: product placement. Verging on subliminal, sometimes. Either way, pejorative labelling works, which (as you know) is...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well, there's the conservative claim that anyone to the left of, say, Clarence Thomas or Joe Manchin is a "far left radical". They tried it with Obama and Biden, too. That kind of false advertising is...

    I'd be willing to bet that she's also paying attention to how much support Biden lost when he tried to look like a progressive when he really
