so those scumbags carrying tiki torches in Charlottesville were hallucinations? The woman killed by a dodge MAGA car? The camp Aushwitz shirt on the J6 pos? The anti Jewish rhetoric and meetings with white supremacists by the ex prez pos? The talk of civil war, right here on a football site. all imagined....

Yeah, I don't pretend to be a political pundit enraging the fringe right or the left. you all latch onto the weirdest "leaders" please explain how you got this idea. What evidence have you seen here that leads you to believe I'm not a believer in democracy and free markets? Its label used to slander with no basis. nice job

so what were the consequences if he didn't abide? The order came from his professional org. Would they drop him from the group? I mean what's the worst they could do? The only thing the courts decided was that the professional org had the right to censure him somehow. It's a private org presumably with ethics guidelines. It would be like the AMA threatening to kick me out for covid misinformation. Big deal... "The training was mandated by College of Psychologists of Ontario in 2022 after complaints were made regarding Peterson's use of social media, which was viewed as misconduct by the group, according to ABC 3344. Peterson argued that he was allowed to post whatever he wanted on social media and filed a judicial review. Three Divisional Court judges ruled that the organization was allowed to make the demand of Peterson. " much ado about almost nothing

the rest of the story. sounds like a tragic situation and home environment for the kid https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/leeds-news/west-yorkshire-police-confirm-no-27506840 At 12.12am on Monday, August 7, police say they had calls from a family member of a 16-year-old girl who was reportedly intoxicated and putting herself at risk in Leeds city centre. Officers intended to drop her home, but were faced with verbal abuse, West Yorkshire Police (WYP) claim. The teen hid in a stairwell and refused to come out as her mum shouted "don't touch her she has autism". Nazis not so much Did you actually read the New Yorker piece? i don't have subscription and can't find on a search. maybe you can enlighten us all and copy and paste some of it. you idiots ar such suckers for propaganda https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-a-warming-planet. Maybe you can find it and gives us a book report Bonnie. The first article look pretty interesting. Maybe tomorrow... edit: Still haven't found it but this looks interesting: https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-a-warming-planet/amy-coney-barrett-should-recuse-herself-from-big-oils-supreme-court-case Annals of a Warming Planet Amy Coney Barrett Should Recuse Herself from Big Oil’s Supreme Court Case By Bill McKibben January 13, 2021 The Justice’s father, who was an attorney for Shell for decades, could have direct knowledge of how the company managed climate threats.Photograph by Sarah Silbiger / Bloomberg / Getty January 19th, the day before Joe Biden’s Inauguration, is one of those moments when past, present, and future will collide, this time in the halls of the Supreme Court. The Justices will hear a case (BP P.L.C. v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore), and the most interesting question is: How many Justices will there be? Because, as new research makes clear, Amy Coney Barrett, the junior member of that august bench, should recuse herself. The case before the Supreme Court hinges on a narrow procedural question, but the underlying lawsuit is one of almost two dozen brought by cities and states that want the oil companies to compensate them for the damages—the rising seas and the gathering winds—caused by the fossil-fuel industry’s products. They contend, and the record leaves little doubt, that the industry knew for decades that it was triggering dangerous climate change. These were the biggest lies that companies have ever told: if Philip Morris killed us one smoker at a time, BP and ExxonMobil and the rest are taking out the entire planet, as the new record that the world set for billion-dollar “natural” disasters in 2020 makes clear. That list of duplicitous companies includes Shell, which is where Barrett comes in: her father, Michael, was an attorney for Shell for almost three decades. During her Senate-confirmation hearings, Barrett provided a recusal list that she’d used during her years as an appeals-court judge—it included four Shell subsidiaries, but not Shell Offshore, Inc., even though her father represented that Shell entity in court and administrative forums for at least thirteen years. He also worked for the American Petroleum Institute for two decades, chairing its subcommittee on exploration and production law. And those two roles could be crucial to the case before the Supreme Court: as Lee Wasserman, the director of the Rockefeller Family Fund, which has played a key role in the fight to hold oil companies responsible, points out, Barrett père could be called for a deposition. “Justice Barrett’s father potentially has direct knowledge of and operational involvement in how Shell managed climate threats. He also faces reputational risk from his association with colleagues engaged in decades of corporate deception.” For instance, in 1988—the year that the nasa scientist James Hansen made the greenhouse effect a public issue—Royal Dutch Shell produced a confidential internal memo after five years of internal reviews. The memo, which was uncovered in 2018 by the Dutch journalist Jelmer Mommers, notes that climate impacts could include “significant changes in sea level, ocean currents, precipitation patterns, regional temperature and weather.” It observes that changes would impact “the human environment, future living standards and food supplies, and could have major social, economic and political consequences.” These environmental and socioeconomic changes might be the “greatest in recorded history.” The memo includes this jarring observation: “By the time the global warming becomes detectable it could be too late to take effective countermeasures to reduce the effects or even to stabilize the situation.” The document also calculated how much Shell was on the hook for in all this; it concluded that the company could be tied to four per cent of all the carbon dioxide that humans, as of 1984, had spewed into the atmosphere. And Shell’s executives took the warning seriously—among other things, they quickly redesigned a natural-gas platform to raise its height and protect against sea-level rise and intensifying storms. As Wasserman says, “There is almost no chance that a person as senior as Mr. Coney, who worked principally in the ‘offshore OCS [Outer Continental Shelf] exploration and production area,’ would have been unaware of the issue.” (Late Tuesday afternoon, a coalition of environmental groups, including 350.org, where I am the senior adviser emeritus, called on Justice Barrett to recuse herself.)

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain Similar to my story. Seeing people suffer needlessly has made me a liberal. But I recognize the enemy. -

the best lawyers aren't good enough to get him off. He's no OJ Simpson. His Republican allies are furious and have delved into baseless conspiracies that the prosecutions of Trump are a coordinated effort by President Joe Biden and Democrats to sabotage the GOP frontrunner’s bid to return to the White House. Blackburn, Cruz and McCarthy as the three stooges. Blackburn is such a pos. Check out her pharmacy biz that financed her senate win. The others are stick to the bowl types. https://tennesseelookout.com/2022/02/21/editors-column-blackburns-role-in-opioid-crisis-overshadows-her-crack-pipe-concerns/ https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2018/07/12/we-deserve-answers-marsha-blackburn/771627002/ According to The New York Times in 2017, Blackburn's best-known legislation was her co-sponsorship of a bill that revised the legal standard the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had used to establish that "a significant and present risk of death or serious bodily harm that is more likely than not to occur", rather than the previous tougher standard of "imminent danger", before suspending the manufacturer's opioid drug shipments.[106][54] The legislation passed the House and the Senate unanimously, but was criticized in internal Justice Department documents and by the DEA's chief administrative law judge as hampering DEA enforcement actions against drug distribution companies engaging in black-market sales.[106] Joe Rannazzisi, who had led the DEA's Office of Diversion Control, said he informed Blackburn's staffers what the effects of a 2016 law she co-sponsored would be. Blackburn said her bill had "unintended consequences", but Rannazzisi said they should have been anticipated. He said that during a July 2014 conference call he told congressional staffers the bill would cause more difficulties for the DEA if it pursued corporations that were illegally distributing such drugs.[107] Blackburn and Representative Tom Marino, the main co-sponsor of her House bill, sent a letter requesting an Office of Inspector General investigation about Rannazzisi, saying he tried to intimidate Congress in the July conversation. Rannazzisi said he was removed from his DEA position in August 2015.[107] Why do you cons like mobsters? -
