LOL....not sure how that would be remotely related.  But I am curious as what Russian disinformation I've swallowed.

 So, care to back up that assertion with an example?

I would probably be wise to not hold my breath waiting.

No problem. I’ve been advised that TOS won’t allow this temporary span with two accounts. I’ll likely be unable to comment from this account any longer. It is interesting that discerning honesty or truth from nonsense is so challenging for some people.

I would think they would allow your account since you said it was yours.

I wonder who has fallen for Russian disinformation in this country.  When Obama "reset" relations with Russia was he fooled?   When Obama stated he would have more flexibility after the elections was he fooled?  When Obama told Mitt Romney "You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years."  Was Obama fooled?   When Russia invaded Crimea under the Obama administration was Obama fooled?  When Obama balked at his red line in Syria was Obama fooled?

I can discern the truth from your nonsense just fine.

The disinformation I'm assuming Heron was referring to was Russia's claim (and Trump's claim) that there was no interaction between the Trump campaign and Russian interests, even though a Republican-led Senate investigation found this to be far from true.

I have to say I really do admire your ability to deflect away from topics and slamming liberals.   Kudos.  But you were deflecting off topic to a deflection off topic.  I'm actually confused now as to the original topic here in 2022?

Yes, Romney wound up being correct that Russia would be a world wide problem.  Took tens years to get there.  But we've already discussed this.  But if you want to discuss Obama, have at it.

I don't understand your point.  How can we be in the head of another person?    What does he Russian invasion of Crimea have to do with  Obama being fooled?  Are you saying he had the means to stop it but thought the Russians were the egreged party so did nothing because of that particular belief?  What, exactly, is your meaning with this post?

As a society, “we are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don’t like,” Thomas said.
 

Justice Thomas indicates we should live with outcomes we don’t like. Apparently he is unhappy that the public is exercising is constitutional right to free speech. His wife doesn’t seem to have any problem complaining about the results of the last election.

I saw a Twitter post, that I can’t quite believe. Being on my phone, I’m limited at researching. Did Justice Coney Barrett really say that the US needs a supply of infants to adopt?

This article was featured in One Great Story, New York’s reading recommendation newsletter. Sign up here to get it nightly.

Twice in oral arguments this week for the abortion case that could overturn Roe v. Wade, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked pro-choice advocates: Would banning abortion be so bad if women could just drop their newborns at the fire station for someone else to adopt? She conceded that forced pregnancy and birth are “an infringement on bodily autonomy,” but suggested, misleadingly, that the real choice is between having a later abortion and “the state requiring the woman to go 15, 16 weeks more and then terminate parental rights at the conclusion.” If advocates for abortion rights were so worried that “the consequences of parenting and the obligations of motherhood that flow from pregnancy” would harm women, asked Barrett, who adopted two children from Haiti, “Why don’t the safe-haven laws take care of that problem?”

The attorney for the clinics, Julie Rikelman, reminded Barrett that it’s 75 times more dangerous to give birth in Mississippi than to have a pre-viability abortion, disproportionately threatening the lives of women of color in particular. U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said citing laws where parents can relinquish their newborns, no questions asked, “overlooks the consequences of forcing upon her the choice of having to decide whether to give a child up for adoption. That itself is its own monumental decision for her.” People who have lived and studied the realities of adoption also had a lot to say about Barrett’s blithe solution — one that drew on a well-established conservative political strategy to put adoption forward as the kinder face of the anti-abortion movement.

 

Well, she didn't say that America needs more children to adopt but, to her, it doesn't seem to be harmful to be forced to carry the pregnancy and drop the baby off at the police station.  This woman is more clueless than I thought and I already thought she was nuts.  Margaret Atwood got our future right!

Justice Amy Coney Barrett has 2 children adopted from Haiti so that has influenced her comment.
