    I don't need any government to tell me if I have their permission to defend myself

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

    I think that discussion is not likely to be productive. I'm old enough to remember the Weather Underground, Symbionese Liberation Front and the Watts riots. I suspect it'll get bogged down in false...

    You just reprimanded TMB for his opinion of trump's character, arguing that it is not OK because trump has not yet been convicted. You made the same argument against opinions expressed about Fox News...

    So, no opinions allowed until specifically illegal behavior is proved beyond a reasonable doubt? How very fascist of you ... Do you remember Enron and their shenanigans in the California...

    Good luck getting a coherent answer. I believe it's all made up, like Fox News and trump's promises. (And tax returns. And financial reports. And border walls.

    If you believe this, I have a bridge to give you if I'm elected. Just ask trump's debtors - lawyers, contractors, municipalities "graced" by his campaign rallies, investors in his bankrupt businesses,...

    I've been thinking recently that, with all the whining about labor shortages, why we haven't considered job programs for immigrants other than migrant labor. Just because they speak Spanish, doesn't...

    Put this together with the forced-pregnancy push, the resistance to minimum wage, the assault on public schools and the ongoing shrinkage in safety-nets and what do you get? Hidden agendas,

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

    As far as I can tell, both parties are so busy trying to blame either trump or Biden for a regulation failure that they've completely ignored the corporation that created the disaster. And guess...

    One of the strategies used by the LGBTQ community to counter malicious name-calling has been to reclaim the nasty names as badges of pride and honor. If the stupid people perceive me as woke, I...

    Which has been a movement in the US since at least the 1920s. Far-lefty Sinclair Lewis wrote about the threat in the 1930's in "It Can't Happen Here". Trump courted and empowered fascists, along...

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

    "Woke" originated in the Black community back in the sixties as a reference to having a measure of alertness to issues of racial injustice. Leave it to white racists to deem that a bad thing....

    Walgreens won't sell abortion pill by mail/stores in 20 states

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

    This is an example of the reason I tend to take so-called "far left" journalism more seriously. I've been reading for years about dominionism. I kept it on a mental back burner, waiting for more...

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

    Given the probability of a vigorous black market, imagine the level of law enforcement activity they'll need to keep the bootleggers, along with the pregnant women and girls, in check. Between...

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

    I remember when the Dobbs decision first came down, many of us expressed deep concern that it was the beginnings of the complete rollback of reproductive rights. We were roundly pooh-poo'd and mocked...

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

    Seems a bit early in the 2024 campaign for this kind of planted smear. At least they waited until after the primaries in 2016 before starting these pseudo-discussions. The boards in this part of the...

    Agreed. It just isn't going to be me. I'm happy to share the lived experiences that have informed my opinions. Most are not interested, so I state my opinion and its rationale and leave it
