Never heard of him. Yeah, the one we got is no good, but at least people have heard of him.

We tried. Trump did what he wanted and nobody was willing to help us hold his feet to the fire because they were all scared of Hillary Clinton. Next thing we knew, the shadowy forces were mowing down country music concerts, and Trump was taking the bump stocks first and asking questions later. Then came billions to Big Pharma to make lab rats out of us. Been there tried that. Next suggestion?

Except it isn't. It's more carefully tailored to not trigger partisans. Still curious to hear from the OP.

Prosecutorial discretion pretty much went out the window the first time a DA campaigned for reelection on his conviction rate. And the last vestiges of it disappeared when governments started offering corporations prisoners for slave labor, which is has quietly grown into a huge racket.

Yeah, I was lucky. And we all have the race riot of 1921 to credit for it. Nobody wanted to go through that again, so a voluntary way to obey the federal diktat was found -- a magnet school system. That riot was truly The Race Riot to End All Race Riots for this city. Sometimes the most horrifically nasty clouds have the most enduring silver linings. Does this correlation prove causation? That time period also correlates with the existence of ED, by which I mean not erectile dysfunction, but the federal Department of Education. I still think that's the real cause.

You'll never confuse him with those things. He has already made up his mind, you see.

I believe a life exception must be written into the law the same way that self defense is written into the law as a defense against a murder charge. Would you be okay with leaving self defense totally to prosecutorial discretion? I like the two week grace period after a woman becomes aware, but I have heard of women who for whatever reason didn't know they were pregnant until they were about to deliver.

Now there's a silly question. Why do you ask?

The same mistake will be made with respect to RFKJr, over and over and over again. The convenient thing about the internet (for the bad guys) is nobody will look at the "other side"s propaganda outlet. So they can constantly remind Democrats that he wants to kill government funding and convince Republicans that they'll be paying for his late term abortions all at the same time. That wasn't something they could pull off when the TV only had four channels on it.

Sorry to hear that. Mine was improved.

Because that particular private health care plan somehow manages to do that for other customers and still offer you the most for your money.

The tourist attractions of Auschwitz, Poland (if any) would certainly look different.

And the pundits too, in lockstep. You know why. All part of the divide and conquer psyop. Civil, rational discourse never got anyone appointed dictator. It never led to communism.

It looks like various institutions began paying people to immigrate here with money from budgets Trump signed. And I don't see any excuse for that; Trump would never sign anything his lawyers didn't read for him if his own money were involved. Is there any point in trying to talk to you about that?

In the same sentence he said "Leave it to the states" and then he said 'Leave it to the woman...don't have the government involved"...but the states are government. I don't think he thought that one through. Anyhow, it's sad that there has not been a civil national conversation on this issue. I completely reject the "life begins at conception so all abortion at anytime should be illegal" point of view which recently played out in Alabama in a panic over IVF clinics but I also completely reject the "it's not a life until it takes it's first breath" point of view. Under English common law abortion was legal until the "quickening" which is when a woman can feel the baby move which is about 14 weeks. After that it was illegal. I can live with that. I don't believe in "rape / incest" exceptions because that's based on nothing but emotion. You wouldn't allow the toddler of a rapist to be murdered would you? I do accept a mother's life, and possibly physical health exception. It's possible, though very rare (as in only once so far) for an ectopic pregnancy to last to week 14. Such a pregnancy is dangerous to the mother. I'm not sure about an exception if the baby is late term but not viable. Here's the funny thing. Most Americans share my view. They want restrictions on abortion but for the procedure to remain legal under certain circumstances. Even liberal NPR had to admit that. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/26/1171863775/poll-americans-want-abortion-restrictions-but-not-as-far-as-red-states-are-going So why are the politicians staking out the extreme positions?

Ron Paul's own words: https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/ron-paul-says-he-would-have-voted-against-the-1964-civil-rights-act/ Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) suggested Friday that he wouldn’t have voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act if he were a member of Congress at the time. Paul, the libertarian Texas Republican who formally announced Friday that he would seek the presidency for a third time, said he thought Jim Crow laws were illegal, and warned against turning strict libertarians into demagogues. MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews pressed Paul during a TV appearance on whether he would have voted against the ’64 law, a landmark piece of legislation that took strides toward ending segregation.

You're saying it sold itself as that for fifty years without ever doing so once, on any little thing whatsoever? You're the one tossing Gabbard in with the corrupt blue trash because you found a nit to pick up on.

:rolleyes: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/us/politics/09king.html WASHINGTON — For Representative Peter T. King, as he seizes the national spotlight this week with a hearing on the radicalization of American Muslims, it is the most awkward of résumé entries. Long before he became an outspoken voice in Congress about the threat from terrorism, he was a fervent supporter of a terrorist group, the Irish Republican Army. “We must pledge ourselves to support those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry,” Mr. King told a pro-I.R.A. rally on Long Island, where he was serving as Nassau County comptroller, in 1982. Three years later he declared, “If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.”

Damn! Rand submitted a bill to encourage states to pass laws discouraging no knock raids. But of course the Democrats didn't pass it because....reasons. And yes I put the fault of that on the Democrats. Only a handful of Republicans would be needed to push such legislation through if Dems would get behind it. Same for Tim Scott's prison reform bill. There was a thread the other day (forget the name of it) where there was a video with a lawyer explaining how the cops kicked in and flash banged the wrong house and thankfully nobody died but the federal court found that there mistake was "reasonable" simply based on this stupid idea that no cop had been found liable for that particular mistake before. SMH.

And while we're letting the likes of Swordsmyth tell us when to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and when not to, Jab Daddy Trump and Winter of Severe Illness and Death Biden are getting away with murdering adults wholesale by tag team.

Not until it tries to kill somebody.

You're denying that he's a reliable tool of Israel because he never used the word " unlimited"? Really?

Says the die hard fan of Daddy Jab.

It sold itself that way for fifty years. She's not allowed to point out that it sold itself that way for fifty years?
