Joe Ferguson forever

"I'm not a molecular biologist" and "I don't argue the points". "I frequently post cartoons and opinions from far right propagandists" "I regularly use logical fallacies in my arguments when losing, especially ad hominem"

Nope. It's because Tuberville met with trump's sons and others on Jan 5 including Navarro at the trump international hotel. Or that trump watched the riot unfold for 4 hours before calling for the scum to leave. Or that the entire episode was premised on the big lie which was pushed by so many of his congressional serfs.. Or that at least one R member of congress provided "tours" of the capitol on Jan 5 to rioters.

seems you can't take yes for an answer. I agree with him. It is theocratic: "The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians and other religious minorities," Kaine said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday. "They do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So, the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

I mean, who hasn’t done 116 mph on a public road? he needs to get out of the race. Kaine should have stopped talking after he said it was indefensible

I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Mind my biz re what?

He should withdraw. The gaps are filled in the thread. The timing of the fire is suspicious to say the least. Do your own work on the Jones case.

The man never saw a hand he wouldn't shake. True Southern gentleman. No idea what this guy would have against him or on colleagues honoring him. He was a centrist, pragmatic D and a fine man.

I'm not going to vote for him. The episode in question involved a beloved state senator that everyone in this region knew and respected

This really freaked me. Seems like a ruling on denying release of state voting records wouldn't bring about attempted murder.. I can't imagine she's well know in maga circles. Just horrible for her, her family and the neighbors. Scary stuff.

It's part of the solution. The other is to stop medicaid cuts.

I'm not a paid provider, hospital employee or stock holder. That dog won't hunt. The potential for hospital closures threatens everyone to one degree or another. No idea. likely billions, lots of Americans without any health insurance. It's mostly the working poor. look it up and let me know the number.

Emergency services are generally provided by hospitals. Illegal immigrants will still get sick and show up in ER's. Stopping payment for emergency services will result in nearly $9 billion in unreimbursed care for hospitals and providers. This is on top of the medicaid cuts in the big, bad bill which will result in unreimbursed care. So hospitals and providers will be the ones punished by stopping payments for these patients. They must provide care for anyone showing up to an ER because of EMTALA laws. It's almost as if trump wants some hospitals to go broke. At least, that will be the effect.

This is why we have MAGA https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/the-wealth-of-the-top-1percent-reaches-a-record-52-trillion.html

Trickle down has been tried many times with poor results. Over 1/2 the country lives paycheck to paycheck. The trickle never makes it that far down. The other 49% who do pay taxes generally pay a much larger percentage of their income than the 1 %. The system is purposefully, forever in their favor.

The tax laws are often changed. Almost always in favor of the rich. Closing loopholes for them would be welcomed by the 99% if messaged correctly. Trump located them with minuscule , short lived breaks of their own. Perhaps D’s could do the same while increasing taxes on the rich.

It needn't be.

But they are paying taxes and into social security.

Would be good if we could hear her response.

John Boy and Billy radio show had a bit with a gay character. At the end of the bit he'd say "off to the mini cooper!". Very funny show (The big show) which was is syndicated out of Charlotte. Has a very conservative bias but it's worth checking out. I'd say a 10 and I'm straight. Who doesn't like $1 mimosas at brunch?

Have ICE investigate all mini cooper owners.

remember when trump said he'd never heard of project 2025? that was awesome....

Despite the white house propaganda machine, 17% more americans blame trump than democrats for the shutdown. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5534532-poll-shutdown-trump-republicans-blame/

did you post your condemnation? there's your opportunity.

So my mixed breed comment got your panties in a twist while a pic of jeffries in a sombrero doesn't?

the emergency medicaid for hospitals is to try and stop hospitals, especially rural hospitals, from going belly up. I think that could easily be negotiated away in exchange for for continuing subsidies to folks buying insurance on the exchange thru the ACA. Legal aliens and asylum seekers can get medicaid. That could also be negotiated and is likely what all the D's in the debate were responding to. But trump shows up to negotiations with a 2028 hat...
