Joe Ferguson forever

“Justice Thomas participated in cases related to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig and then overturn the 2020 election, while his wife was pushing to do the same. He was the lone dissent in a case that could have denied the January 6th Committee records pertaining to the same plot his wife supported. “At the bare minimum, Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation, and should Donald Trump run again, any case related to the 2024 election.” Wyden speaking again to senators in the finance committee,

what part do you disagree with? Be specific. he's documenting committee findings and Thomas refusal to respond. btw, the most obvious benefactor of his judicial largesse is his wife in regards to Jan 6.

Ya mean like accepting free trips and a house from a private individual with interest in the court's decisions?

Yeah, these folks don't like experts. They're "elites". Here's another stupid pol that doesn't bother to listen or enlist the help of experts: https://www.outdoorlife.com/opinion/kentucky-bill-legalize-killing-hawks/ Even if the bill passes, they'll still be huge federal fines. Following the rules isn't a strong suit for these people....

not the same as you killing a hawk. Cool vid of a donkey guarding a chicken:

you could have a big problem: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state laws make it illegal to kill, capture, possess (actual bird or parts of, including feathers), harass, or harm any bird of prey. Violations are punishable by fines of $5,000 to $250,000 or more, jail sentences, confiscation of possessions, and revocation of licenses.

People actually spend their time making fake pi’s? Tell me it isn’t so

No one has a cake. Not the patient nor the doctor. So how bout IUDs? thumbs up or down? Birth control pills?

How far do you go? IUD’s work by preventing implantation of fertilized eggs. Should they be illegal? In biblical times they did camel birth control by similar means - a pebble in the plumbing. Are those folks in hell?

Several times... What the f “doc”? Is that an East Indian reincarnation thing?

So I can live with all but coyotes. I don't have an interest in avidly protecting the others except hawks which are way cool...unless you're raising rabbits. Oh, and dogs...

I hope she doesn't wear permethrin : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28863253/#:~:text=Tick-borne diseases of special,in the state as well. I've seen a couple cases. Good dog loving hunters...

you tell me. How many has she killed? I think she's lost the S Dakota sportsman's vote and that's probably pretty sizable.

uh huh. she apparently doesn't train dogs well. Maybe she should just do those harvest hunts down the road. Leave the dogs to them. Just gotta say, watching bird dogs work is awesome. They're fearless and will hurdle steep ravines, go thru thick briars and smile bringing back a bird. The author of my linked piece gets it. Im sure many S Dakotans do. I just don't see a seasoned hunter doing what Noem did...

Bird dogs are well loved in S Dakota hunting culture: https://www.sdstandardnow.com/home/veteran-conservation-officer-noem-clearly-did-not-understand-how-to-prepare-and-train-her-dog-and-it-suffered-because-of-that

I would love to see a vid of her shooting skeet. She's definitely hot. If she can shoot that'd be like watching Anika Sorenson but I digress.

Maybe a place down her road like this: https://www.pottersfieldssd.com might have tried to retrain him. I'm a decent shot. Never hit a dog instead of a bird.

Cultural differences...because killing a puppy is routine in South Dakota hunting land?

We agree again. Farmers are under appreciated and vital. But in most American society (including farming) killing a pig and killing a dog are 2 very different things. What bothers me most about Noem's story is that she goes out and buys an expensive, desirable, unusual breed known for high energy. It doesn't live up to expectations and she discards it after a year. Sure hope he died on the first shot. I dunno why but just can't see her as seasoned sportsman. Maybe it's because she killed a puppy...

Geez that's f'in miserable. As I said, I don't know anyone who has shot a dog or at least admitted to it...I bet these folks wouldn't have shot that dog but I suppose you think they're soft hearted. http://www.nationalgwprescue.com

i agree with the first paragraph although I think you're describing fringe modern liberals rather than mainstream Most all of my liberal friends share my view or something similar.. Re the second paragraph, there will never be equal outcomes because of the womb lottery. Although it wouldn't surprise me if trump advocated for eugenics...

pathetic comeback. trying to emulate trump huh. You're preaching to your own cult choir....grow up. Get a job.

i had a pretty productive career. what have you accomplished? bmi is 27. what's yours? Let's talk academic achievements...but that's the best you got cuz there's no there, there. no idea where you get this. I'm liberal and still want robust competition which necessarily results in winners and losers but also in innovation and motivation. One can believe all that yet believe in a safety net for the truly unfortunate.
