The Frankish Reich

Agree. Much like the issue of slave states vs. free states in the 1850s, we have the issue of abortion access states vs. abortion ban states now. The "leave it up to the states" theory is on a collision course with freedom of movement. Do we really think that anti-abortion/pro-life (I'm not interested in arguing nomenclature) activists will be happy that abortion is banned in Texas but that the number of Texas women having abortions remains the same because they are traveling to New Mexico for the procedure? That they'll be happy with the new status quo? I can't imagine that. If they truly believe that abortion is murder of an innocent child, well, then the issue of interstate travel for abortion access can't be accepted as moral. We'll see some of these states attempting to prosecute their own women who travel out of state to get abortions, or (more likely at first) to prosecute or civilly sue groups that help facilitate such movement. And add to that the issue of federal control of Mifepristone vs state attempts to override that. Dred Scott, anyone?

Same here. Why is it a thing?

This is almost as clever as DonOLD Trump.

I’m sensing some kind of “injury” may be revealed.

Yeah, the father who has been essentially absent from her life. By the same logic: - Trump is a genetic Racist given his father’s well-documented racism - Vance carries the opioid addict gene from his mother and the lazy ass no good a-hole gene from his father. This is fun.

Communist! Marxist! Maoist!

Tarheel moving toward a new record, responding to himself with 6 consecutive posts. Sorry to interrupt. Please resume.

Finally an accurate "heroic Trump" meme. Bad combover? Check. Bad hair dye? Check. Bad fake tan? Check. On his third wife? Check. Frequents hookers/"adult film stars" for private sessions? Check. Weird devotion to American cars/convertibles of the 1960s? Check.

Nice artwork. Even better grammar. Idiots.

So what do we know about those "price controls?" Basically nothing. I know there's a promise to continue the Biden DOJ opposition to the Kroger-Albertsons merger. But what else other than a vague commitment to do something so stop "price gouging?"

RG3 was a natural on TV. Not too many former players have that. He'll find another job, and soon.

The mainstream media telling the truth.

Pro-natalist policy in Israel, late 70s/early 80s. They wanted to raise the birthrate out of concerns that total fertility level was dropping below replacement value. The government created a "Star [as in Star of Israel] Mother" award to go to women who had 3, 4, or more additional children. The program was disbanded after a couple years. Why? Well it turns out that Palestinian women were winning most of the awards.

A little self-deprecating humor. Not particularly funny, but nice to see one - the only one - of our 4 candidates for national office is able to poke a little fun at himself. Has Trump ever done that? For that matter, have you ever seen him laugh? And it wouldn't hurt JD to adopt a little of that too. And for Kamala to tone down the fake laughter. Walz = Less Weird.

Is Stolen Valor worse than Diminished Valor?

What on earth could the killer's dead body provide?

I just think that the feverish interest in posting anything considered government ineptitude on a football fan forum, often on two or more topics at once, and then commenting on one’s own posts even though no one else has been interested enough to comment is, well, what’s that Word of the Year again? Oh yeah. Weird.

Because he is commenting on his comments? Which usually means a lonely old guy who doesn’t have a girlfriend, who gradually falls deeper and deeper into conspiracy theories in a vain attempt to feel useful? Other than that, no reason at all.

Damn good point. The SS mythical “trust fund” will drain a lot faster if this goes through. Everyone 62 and over will claim ASAP before the tax code has a chance to revert back. The Froot Loops campaign.

Did I tell you about the time I was on a chopper with Willie Brown? Whatever.

More than a little.

Because claiming to be in the same college class as Susan Collins isn’t exactly saying you were roommates with Mark Zuckerberg and have him the idea for Facebook. So give us a name or two of a “very fine person” who thought it would be a good idea to march alongside Nazis and other racists.

I’d leave out the Broncos for a change. Watching early on, I’m guessing that Bo Nix and Sean Payton will mesh really well.

Yes. Not a comment on Milano, but some bulk up way too fast by any means necessary. We see it in baseball too.

Damn. Really affordable, and while he’s not an exact Milano replacement he would fit that role of the guy who always seems to be in the right place to make a big play.
