It's all about #NOCOLLUSION now isn't it(?) - Not "all," no. But this exchange between me and Joe is. Because I have asked for the evidence he says Mueller identified that the Trump campaign colluded, conspired or coordinated with Russia to interfere with the election. I'm trying to get that discre...

A guy calling a campaign office asking for signs and help with rallies is evidence of the Trump campaign "coordinating" with Russia. LOL. You're the one trying to sell that nonsense. Silly pup. I think Joe was right - you haven't really been reading his posts. You surely wouldn't have mischaracetri...

What's odd is that you seem to think the issue of whether an individual can sue the State of California in Nevada State courts is some sort of major political divide, with the evil conservatives wanting to evilly prevent people from suing one state in the courts of another state. And Thomas's view ...

Joe - here's an article you might be interested in, from The Nation. I know that's probably a right wing rag to you, but give it a read: RIP, Russiagate The implosion of the collusion theory is a humiliation for everyone who promoted it. https://www.thenation.com/article/rip-russiagate/ You should f...

What say you about this article from The Nation: https://www.thenation.com/article/russiagate-elections-interference/ New Studies Show Pundits Are Wrong About Russian Social-Media Involvement in US Politics Far from being a sophisticated propaganda campaign, it was small, amateurish, and mostly unre...

No, I'm responding to your commentary "in kind." If you want to be snarky, you can't expect politeness in return. Well, you better up your game, kid. If you're gonna respond in kind, you need a far more competent argument, and a lot less juvenile bluster. LOL, funny. You still mad? Seems like it. Y...

This is only about abortion -- pointing out how someone else doesn't care about something else does not provide support for your argument. After all, they may be assholes, but you may also. Assuming ...

Mother Jones overstates the matter by far. [ Snipped dubious justification for this assertion. ] Since your propounding on matters of law is inevitably roused in support of the legal reasoning of conservative ideologues, it's no surprise that you've chosen to fawn over Thomas's decision while dismi...

it's pretty much 100% religion and "feelings." Same reason they love puppies and want to save every critter found half dead. No politics or practical angles. if god gave you a defective baby, then that is what you deserve. Some people probably feel that way. But since when are you worried about peo...

My view of their success is definitely biased by living around them and seeing their efforts in the things I read and watch. But I don't think I've overstated it. In the other places we're talking about is there opposition to abortion on the scale we see here? Also, is that opposition rooted in rel...

There's a lady from an Alabama anti-abortion group on the radio at the moment suggesting the option of the death penalty for physicians who perform abortions and prison time for mothers. Her hope is that the change in law in Alabama will ultimate give SCOTUS the impetus to overturn Roe v Wade and b...

Put it in school in 8th grade. Show the fetuses. Put girls over 13 on birth control. For free. Did you intend that to be in English, or is that in Finnish? "Put it in school in the 8th grade. Show the fetuses." LOL. What's "it?" Show the fetuses - they do show the fetuses in health classes at that ...

They are well organized and have been incredibly successful in this country. However, their more radical views are at odds with most Americans, and increasingly so. However, however, that doesn't mean they can't do irreparable damage on their way out. Their success is a bit of an overstatement, sin...

Kill the fetuses. We have no shortage of fetuses, we have an excess. I'm pro choice, and that's a statement I find difficult to reconcile with someone with even a modicum of empathy or kindness. Have you ever see 3D and 4D ultrasounds of fetuses? Have you followed your own children's development? I...

The majority opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas on the recent US Supreme Court decision in Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt set aside stare decisis . The dissenting opinion written by Justice Breyer includes a clear warning that the conservative majority has shown a willingness to...
