    Or the knives, the cars, the hammers, the rocks.  Stupid people, and criminals, do stupid shit.  Murder is and has been illegal for a very long time.

    You're right.  There is a real problem with mass stonings in this country.

    no one coming out of Kentucky will be as effective as Moscow Mitch. 

    while this might be true it seems the damage he's done over the decades is enough to have sunk as all.  pick an issue, but the climate change that will get all of humanity (sooner rather than later) is a good start.  horn4life's post is also great in summarizing some other issues.  healthcare for all would seem topical, but he's done great damage there as well. the entire trump enablement so he could do more damage.

    in short my friend,  it doesn't matter to me if the 'next' is more or less effective.  he's fucked us all and imo nobody has done more actual damage to this country and changed the rules of engagement.  so since we're all fucked, please parade his currently suffering ass around a bit more for me to sneer at.

    Normally I would feel bad watching someone go through that, but I love watching him fumble around in public. 

     

    Fuck that puto. 

    fucking same.  he's done so much fucking damage to this country that frankly i'm all for them wheeling him out for more of these.   edit: which totally contradicts my attempts to be a nicer person.  but whatever, fuck him.

    i just don't want to end  up with a theocracy running the USA.  All these politicians citing God's will, God's laws, Bible this and that are fucking lunatics.  All the initiatives to take money from public schools to give to these nutbags to fund religious schools is crazy.  you want to increase your child's chance getting raped by a priest, do it on your own dime. you want your child to learn how to dehumanize people that are different from them because a few lines in the Bible say God is probably against that behavior, do it on your own dime.

    Now, if we had more Bible lessons on the prophet Elisha, who after getting insulted by 'youths' called him bald and then called down the wrath of God in the form of two she-bears who proceeded to rampage said youths and racked up an impressive 42 fatalities, then count me in.  

    We don't see God's wrath in today's world.  Only human's stupidly and cruelty trying to inflict pain on those they think God hates.  Crazy.  So this has turned me against basically all religion.  I don't really care how great your church is.  i hope it fails so religion can influence fewer people.

    I would add that  somewhere around the time we get back to taxing the wealthy properly like we used to please go ahead and tax all churches.

    WASHINGTON – Today, the NAACP Board of Directors issued a formal travel advisory for the state of Florida. The travel advisory comes in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools. 

    The formal travel notice states, "Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."

    Sadly accurate.  Desantis predictably called the advisory a stunt.

    CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia can restrict the sale of the abortion pill, despite federal regulators’ approval of it as a safe and effective medication, a federal judge has ruled.

    U.S. District Court Judge Robert C. Chambers determined Thursday that the near-total abortion ban signed by Republican Gov. Jim Justice in September 2022 takes precedence over approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

    “The Supreme Court has made it clear that regulating abortion is a matter of health and safety upon which States may appropriately exercise their police power,” Chambers wrote in a decision dismissing most challenges brought against the state by abortion pill manufacturer GenBioPro, Inc. in a January lawsuit filed in the state southern district’s Huntington division.

    Since the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that provided nationwide access to abortion, most GOP-controlled states have enacted or adopted abortion bans of some kind, restricting abortion pills by default. All have been challenged in court.

  7. In my 50's, still like the bangers.  I dig the mellow stuff too. I go all over the map.  Streaming changed things though.  Most of what I 'find' some music service suggested for me,  so it isn't usually anything unknown.

    The ones who voted for Trump? Yes they are chodes. Your average Bernie bro/sis who ended up voting for Hillary (like myself)? Not at all.

    Edit: I do not blame them entirely for Trump winning, but they sure didn't help things

    I entirely misunderstood your post that I quoted.  My apologies.

    Edit: only tangentially related, I really do wish the Electoral College was removed.  It seems that movement had a bit of momentum at one point.  It feels diminished now, but there's a real chance I am out of touch.

    you are right that most did vote for hillary but we had a poster here who admitted voting for Trump who was a Bernie voter. it was a thing - don't take it personally!

    Fair enough, I suppose.  Trolling has crossed over into real life and so I get more than annoyed for being blamed for something that didn't happen.  I really wanted Bernie, but I also know that even if he won he wouldn't be allowed to do anything most of the things he truly wanted, so him losing out hurt less if that makes sense.  And I'm also aware there were some pretty obnoxious Bernie folks on reddit/twitter/etc.  But let us not forget social media amplifies quite often the minority and the controversial.  It doesn't make all of us who liked Bernie's ideals misognystic trolling bros. who would burn the country down if we didn't 'get our way.'

    but also Bernie Bros voting for Trump out of spite, 

    Goddammit, this complete and total bullshit again?  More Bernie voters voted for Hillary than Hillary voters voted for Obama. Fact.  In the spirit of kindness I will not go with my usual even more blistering reaction to this.  I'm trying to be nicer, just like the less mean thread suggests I should.

    But as someone who went for Bernie in the primaries and voted for HRC in the General (in Texas where it didn't matter anyway) I really, really get tired of this smear.

    Train has been off the rails for sometime now.   We're witnessing the decline of the empire, and he and his ilk are rather significant symptoms.  Getting some gallow's humor out of him getting some comeuppance can be a joy.

    FIF likelihood.

    Tree of Life Synagogue ring a bell?  El Paso Wal-Mart, maybe?  These are acts of stochastic terrorist mass-murder (note that nearly all of the terrorist mass-murders in the US in the last 20 years have been by right wing shitheels).  The alt-right (not alt anymore -- it's the regular GQP ecosystem now) spews non-stop that anyone they don't like (minorities, democrats, jurors who don't do what they want, any public officials (including Republicans) who don't do exactly what they want) are dangerous enemies who must die.

    There are plenty of people out there ready and willing to fulfill the mission that the GQP is sending them on.  Before this is done, grand jurors/jurors/prosecutors/judges (one or more of those groups) will die.  They will be murdered by MAGA terrorists.  Because that's what MAGA is -- a terrorist movement.  Its commonalities with Al Qaeda are damned near 100% (different geography, and different fanatical religious basis, but that's about it).

    Our law enforcement, FBI, etc., best be ready with all the thunder they can muster.  Because they're going to have to kill a lot more terrorists before this process is done.

    at minimum many will receive death threats and harassment for years to come.  some will probably have to uproot and move.  

    possibly chlling effect on some future juries in terms of convictions.
