    What caught your attention in the world today?

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

    Well, given the results of the 2020 national and 2022 midterm elections, plus myriads of small local elections over the last 3 years, trump's base is all he's got. It's not big enough to win anything...

    What caught your attention in the world today?

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

    trump used politics to grift at least $7 million dollars. He used politics to evade responsibility, temporarily, for his sexual assault of a citizen. He used politics to erode the right of women to...

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

    No, it's a civil case. Criminal charges require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Civil cases require a preponderance of the evidence - a more achievable standard. Complex financial cases are...

    What caught your attention in the world today?

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

    Nor does it have anything to do with politics. It has to do with trump's criminality, regardless of his role as a politician. I guess you really are saying that politicians are above the law, after...

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

    You suggested that the prosecution is wrong because it's "politically motivated". My reference to the IRS was an example of the kind of tactics used by big money to hold off law enforcement. One...

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

    Probably not. We've witnessed first hand the tried and true tactics used by big money offenders to hamstring attempts to hold them accountable. Why do you think the right wing was so panicked by the...

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

    This whole argument seems to be beside the point, since the state law under which he was prosecuted does not require either a "victim" or conscious intent. The case law on it goes back more than half...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    heron replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Traumatic, yes, but nowhere near what acute care staff went through. None of our staff died, for one thing. The whole anti-vax thing grew out of the vaccines-cause-autism mess, long proven to be...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    heron replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in a small LTC facility. Back at the beginning of the pandemic, before the vaccine became available, our only option for protecting our residents was testing, masking, limiting...

    The Trump Thread

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

    Magadonians just started a gofundme to pay trump's lawsuit judgements. It was started by the spouse of Grant Cardone, a financial influencer and staunch magadonian who is widely believed to be a...

    Feels bad for not swabbing a vascular access port

    heron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The saying goes back to the founder of London's police force at the turn of the 17th century. His name was Robert Peel, hence the "bobbies" = police officers. "Bob's (aka Peel or his bobbies) you...

    Even more interesting that you don't recall complaining that you couldn't post because the libs were so rude to conservatives and republicans. Makes me wonder if this is a hijacked

    President Biden thread

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

    The problem for me is that insisting that I split a particular line of thought between two different threads is like running two rapid responses in different rooms at the same time. I've done it and...

    The election 2024 Thread

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

    I don't believe that particular talking point has anything to do with the reality of wannabe immigrants at the Mexican border. It's meant to flood the zone - as Stene Bannon calls it - a la saint...

    President Biden thread

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

    So ... what other symptoms of dementia is Biden showing? Is there a point to re-hashing the same phenomenon? Forgetting names does not a diagnosis make. Paint the picture or mind your business and...

    The Trump Thread

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

    I doubt that GT tells the SJC what to talk about. I suspect they'll kick the can down the road. I'm more concerned with what they'll do about the immunity

    The election 2024 Thread

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

    So - what do you want that the bill doesn't address? What border provisions in the bill do you think are wrong? "Doesn't clean up the mess" is a non sequitur - no one gets everything they want in...

    President Biden thread

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

    Dismissing people concerned with ongoing destruction of the ecosystems that keep us alive as "climate zealots". So what if the pause is "political"? Is Biden just the president of big business?...
