Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Most 12 step groups have a tradition that says something like "each group is autonomous except where decisions affect the whole"
Society does that with several laws on the books. An 18year old adult cannot legally smoke tobacco, where is that person's right to choose? A person cannot legally snort cocaine. Why not? Because society has deemed those behaviors harmful to the maintenance of a well ordered society. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
I think he means in the context of her staying on the bench too long - now that SCOTUS is no longer above partisanship we either play the game or get played.
RBG should've retired - she didn't, and they took advantage of her death to flip another seat conservative. For all the great she did - and she did a lot of great no doubt about it - her legacy with my generation will be overstaying her time on the SC. Breyer also needs to retire while we have the means to replace him. If we lose the Senate or the House next year we risk another seat flipped in 2024.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Shannon Bream is an underrated dime piece. She's no Rachel Maddow, but still hot.

That's the difference - conservatives like McConnell and Trump will go to any length to win - including shitting all over precedent - whereas we are still playing nice with the exception of AOC/etc. Trump and McConnell would expand the SCOTUS bench in a new york minute if that was the difference between holding the court for the next 40 years. Biden won't even entertain the idea.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
I don't know but we shouldn't pretend this law does. We all know how much the Abbott administration values human life and it is not much. Can't keep electricity on in the state when it gets a little cold weather, can't meet basic food needs for the state, wants their citizens to die so their corporate donors can make a buck (Lt. Gov Patrick's exact words not mine). This law has nothing to do with speaking up for the rights of the unborn that is just the scapegoat used to get evangelicals onboard.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
I know Chico likes to hear liberals dump on Dems so here you go buddy.
I look at the situation in New Orleans and I am fuck appalled. No running water, no electricity (so even if you have money in the bank you can't access it), no food. The rich people that could evacuate left food in their house but we know that is off limits their window is more important than your life. So you have a bunch of hungry poor people in the city and the city isn't getting resources to them. So what does the mayor do? Let's put a curfew in place and bring in more police not recourses because we don't care if you need food we are going to arrest at best and beat the shit out of you at worst while you search for food. What an awful mayor. Let the hunger games tribute begin. |
