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

    I was interested to read recently on The Daily Beast that Taylor-Green is claiming that democrats are actively murdering republicans. I guess they’re bored with the old victim cards and are...

    Tweety an TMB, you guys have described an old strategy going back to the sixties. Tobacco companies created the template when tobacco was proven to cause cancer: attack the science. Always...

    Y’all have had 30-40 years to think it through. You collectively blew the opportunity to minimize the economic hit of climate change. This has become a salvage

    Thank you. This is one of the reasons we need an independent judicial branch. Judge Carroll is a disappointment. On the other hand, both special master judge Dearie and the 11th circuit...

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

    I believe Judge Dearie was appointed by Ronald Regan, not Trump. All the left-wing commentary I’ve seen has been that he is conservative, highly respected “no nonsense” judge who can be depended...

    A federal judge in Texas just ruled that requiring employers to provide coverage of HIV meds is unconstitutional. Go to npr.org - the article was published on Sept.7, 2022. Not sure what I think...

    I agree here. Lindsay Graham has no business getting involved in my life prior to the point when a fetus is viable outside the uterus. Let’s say you are struggling with severe cardiac issues....

    But nowhere near as much money as the far right radical preachers and politicians are making. Speaking of facts and information … one name: Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Then there are the...

    TMB - you left out incest. I am still waiting to hear just how a 12 year-old child is supposed to say no to a grown man and make it stick. The forced pregnancy crowd has a vested interest in...

    Outcome depends on who can kill off whom the fastest. Is it any wonder that our far right wing has been singing their praises for a few years now? I know a person by the he-ros and she-ros they...

    Umm … even granting all you’ve claimed about Fetterman, I would still vote for him over Oz if I was a PA voter. There are too many snake oil merchants in our legislatures as it is. I agree...

    Turns out that it’s not entirely true that it’s not possible to judge shop. I just finished reading a report on The Daily Beast about a different case in Florida filed by trump’s team in...

    Haven’t seen any yet. If they have any, you would think it would be splashed all over the place. Nada. As far as I can see, HB is just your common garden variety

    I’ve been hearing about it, too. Couldn’t say how pervasive it is. Seems to be a tactic to pack the Republican slate of candidates with the most extreme magaphiles - ie election deniers,...

    Yup - anything to distract from the fact that the skeksis-in-chief stole not only US secrets but the secrets of our allies. Why? I’m beginning to suspect the worst. Kind of shines a whole new light...

    Speaking of taking pot shots, the political threads tend to attract users who enjoy a good snarkfest but add little to the substance of a discussion. I wonder if any of them will post on this
