You’re right of course. If the collective, say, were to choose to allow abortion on demand up to, say, an hour or two after birth, the ball would roll down hill, crushing anyone (male or female) in its path who opposed it. In some ways, we’re already there. I think the other side of the argument is that simply because the collective wants to see that sort of option does not mean you submit and acquiesce. On the religious front, it violates deeply held beliefs that transcend the earthly realm. On the moral plane, some believe that at some point before the baby comes out the belly button that a separate life is created and should be protected. Why, if one felt this way, would they ever submit simply because some mean folks got mean(er)? And on the threat of court packing, geesh, ComradeMeanie, to many conservatives, it’s a forgone conclusion that dem and left leaning folks are already planning that. Same with disarming the American people. Same with perpetually open borders. Same with CRT. Same. Same. Same. It’s no different than your argument that “Texas law = crush abortion business”, is it? I’m usually certain that people are less concerned about where we are and much more concerned with what comes next. You’re apparently pro-abortion when a woman decides it’s the right choice. Some here are pro-life with no exemptions. A whole bunch of many are probably stuck somewhere at a dusty Day’s Inn on a moderately fertile archipelago, trying to figure not so much where life begins, but more where common sense ends and medieval spine crushing begins. What’s really (and in my head I’m thinking it sounds like reeeeeeeeeealy)to talk about?

Why is it strange? It seems perfectly logical to me—life is complicated and people complex. I’m not pro-choice, but I am pro-reasonable. I think the suite of abortive offerings of Virginia and NY are barbaric. I think abortion up to 3 months is pretty awful generally but I can understand why it makes sense to some people. I’m a male, I think I have a right to an opinion, and recognize that if I was talking to the young Lenny he would think differently, though not markedly so. I think some medical professionals offer abortions because there is good money in it, some because they believe in choice and there is good money in it, and some likely would donate their services to needy people. What I’ve always thought sorta strange is that given the pro-choice standards employed by liberal minded folks, why they would think the sperm provider has any obligation to the woman carrying the child.

And murder hornets, let’s not forget about the GOP and murder hornets.

Jeez Irv good luck!

That looks like epoxy with vinyl letters/logo. That’s commitment!!

Sometimes I feel sorta silly sitting in my sunroom in the Viking horns wearing the faux Buffalo pelt I got at Target, but other days I really feel like I make a difference, ya know?

And what an outcome for this man that would be!!

He sounds increasingly punch drunk.

STOP YAPPIN YA OLD STONER, PLAY SOME SKYNYRD!

Doubt.

And I heard you were a grabber of boobies without permission!!

Are you really a Governor?

Oh, you’re talking about a Tibsdemeanor. I had forgotten about those. You should issue an appearance ticket for Unicorn Court, and a fine, if forthcoming should be payable in Red and Orange Jellybeans.

Now you’re back to it again and I’m not sure why. Either we have a crime or we don’t. Emotional crimes are only crimes in your head. The rest is us just chopping it up.

How is an expression of concern an insult? If anything I’m babying you and being overly empathetic. I’m like a helicopter poster. There are no sides on this issue unless you want to find them. You’re unhappy. I’m unhappy. Everyone is unhappy, and when everyone is unhappy, maybe we simply need to recognize that unhappy is the new happy. If you end up finding the actual crime you first referenced hmu. I’m anti-crime and pro-law enforcement consistently, not conveniently.

I fear you fell, hit your head and don’t remember. You mentioned crime, then institutional crime, then Democracy and Putin. It’s good to see though even in your current state you dropped the crime nonsense.

I was careful to point out that it should be done in the nicest way one feels comfortable. I have friends and family that would follow the “go f yourself” model. I’m not generally in that category, but the point is the same. Tough when kids are involved though, to be sure.

Or, just tell the Nosey *****nutz to mind their business.

The appropriate response to people like that is to tell them to &$&@ off in as nice a way as you see fit.

What’s “common” and “good” varies based on ones perspective. What we are up to now is it is not a crime, just something that you don’t like. As I said when we started here, you’re unhappy that people don’t see things your way. Get in line.

Is an “institutional crime” a crime from a legal perspective, or just something you like to say? You lost me with “just imagine…” and then referenced something that wasn’t a crime crime.

There is no allegation of a crime here, there is only a debate over how to make our elections as secure as possible. Dialogue is good!! Together Everyone Achieves More!

Ugh, this Eddie Munster wannabe should hide his head in shame—Biden made him look like a scared little boy in their debate. Totally unprepared, . Of course that was way back in the day when Biden’s bare knuckles style was in favor, before Trump Bidened old man Biden in their debates.

I agree, we won’t agree. Like you, I won’t surrender points that are a matter of public record in favor of rhetoric that makes no sense to me. Trump was imperfect in his handling of the virus. He said things that in retrospect made little sense, were most definitely articulated in a way that exposed his throat to media and political enemies, and was definitely impacted by the learning curve associated with pandemic management. Still, his focus changed and his approach did as well. In large part, what he said and did was irrelevant because 90m + Americans weren’t listening to him anyways based on unfounded accusations of Russian collusion for the 4 years prior. That said, he was criticized by his political enemies for attempting to lock potential carriers out, he supported recovery efforts vocally and with money, temporary hospitals, supplies and the like. He aligned with businesses that could speed recovery efforts, brought them together on a national public stage and encouraged/strong-armed participation on an unprecedented level. For that, he was maligned—constantly, repetitively, relentlessly—by his political enemies including many large progressive media outlets which caused people —-apolitical, conservatives, democrats and independents—— to question the trustworthiness of the US Government in fighting the pandemic. Sadly, it worked perfectly. Respectfully—because I like you—-rattling off any bullshyt that does not recognize the fundamental and crucial role of the Trump administration in the development of the vaccine that will save the world makes you look petty and small-minded. As for the Canadian government, instead of lobbing emotionally vapid water balloons at the US response, perhaps one might wonder what the Provincial brain trust was doing when they lost a d*ck-measuring fight over “patent disputes” to the companies that make the shyt that keep the people alive during, uh pandemics. Where the hell has leadership been since 2006?? There’s your trouble. The “Trump for the rich” story is stale, old and cumbersome. It’s boring, and it’s the shtick liberal and progressives use to bolster their base. The truly interesting part for me is how they then juxtapose Trump with a lifer like Biden, a guy extraordinarily well-positioned to help the little people for 50 damn years but...hasn’t. Biden is no genius, indeed, but damn he’s made boatloads of cash for him and his by fooling people just like you. In that regard he’s pretty damn smart. But hey, maybe this time and if not, maybe after re-election when blow dries his wig with an egg beater. Finally, the record is clear on the positioning of the current democrat leadership in this country on pandemic management last year. “Don’t trust the vaccine. Don’t trust Trump. Protest loud and proud while we lock life for the compliant down tight af. All this did was spread the virus, add to the millions infected, and spike the death count. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again—-Death and disease were good for the Biden campaign in 2020.

Are you trying to out-Confucius me??? Ah hell no! Using your analogy, you’ve conveniently ignored innings 1-4, where most of one team played by the rules of survival as outlined by the informationally erratic Dr Fauci, while hundreds of thousands completely disregarded said rules, and undoubtedly brought the Vid back to some of the most at-risk communities in our nation. I can only speculate how low our death count might have been if not for the well-intentioned but woefully misguided protestors causing da spread. Your analogy ignores the perils of inning 5, where former super Covid healer Cuomo screwed the pooch about as badly as it’s possible to screw a pooch, lied about it and got away with it. He closed down New Rochelle but lacked the sack to cordon off Man/ha/in and treat it like the hot zone it obviously was. Inning 6 saw the seeds of vaccine doubt sewn by Messrs Warren, Biden, Harris when they screamed loudly “don’t trust the Trump vax” and obviously, people believed them. We see that in the numbers even today. Here’s the only real statistic that matters—-under Trump’s leadership, the amazing, cool, legit and life saving vaxx to combat a virus developed on foreign soil was developed with amazing speed, delivered to market where Joe and your man boy Trudeau only had to not $&@$ it up, but they were not up to the task. The fact is that Trump saved tens of millions of lives, all praise to 45. From your friend Lehnny across the pond, i can understand you taking our gift for granted, but you are welcome anyway.
