Why would you be shocked? Speculating, discussing, jumping to conclusions is pretty much a human beings thing. I’m actually surprised you’re surprised. Where’s your farm? I thought you were a big city lawyer.

Ah, you believe in the right to choose, but with sensible restrictions based on your moral or societal standards. I don’t know what this means, but it’s sounds troubling.

I get the knee jerk response, this is still fresh in the collective mindset of the country. Your call for expulsion in 2057 probably isn’t far off, 30+ years out. That follows the path of another guy with obvious mental issues, John Hinckley. He goes on a shooting rampage, seriously injured James Brady, Thomas Delhanty, Timothy McCarthy and of course RR. On the other hand, it seems the govt was willing to accept a plea of insanity then, but no such deal here. As for a return to Canada, I wouldn’t be so quick to assume anything with respect to the 2nd A. I decided to take my wife on a romantritic (romantic and patriotic) whirlwind to Montreal one July, and planned champagne and fireworks on Independence Day. Turns out it was all a big fat goose egg.

What's interesting to me is that while this guy is absolutely off his rocker, it looks like the push here is life in prison. Is there a path to redemption for him out there? Will he get the help he needs to realize the error in his ways? He's 43 years old and certainly sounds apologetic--is life in a prison over the next 40 years the answer?

"Tin horn dictator" 😂. Are you watching Bonanza reruns again?

I don't know anything about that, Irish. I'm thinking purely on an emotional level. I had the same thoughts regarding COVID lockdowns, when people in leadership positions decreed that people infected with COVID would be barred from visits/comfort from family and loved ones, left to die alone. My young son was choking many years ago, and the emotions were running very high as the ***** 911 team dispatched the ambulance to the wrong address. Thankfully, we cleared it, but I have to tell you---in a scenario where with someone lying in my way, and it's us v them, I have to think I vote us.

What did he say that has you wanting him to be locked up for a long time?

There's this part of me that wonders what happens when you're on your way to see a sick child or parent, facing the end of life, or someone you love needs emergency medical care. Is it any more morally repugnant to push forward with horn blasting--obviously hoping and praying the moron on the road moves, than to block someone needing care, or rushing to be a with a loved one?

Holy cow John, you're an abortion purist? Abortion to just prior to delivery, no questions asked?

What a crazy world---a 76 year old would infuse some young blood into the party of Joe Biden (who it's been said went to school with and beat George S Patton in a fistfight over a gal--I'm serious!) and the old Soviet Bernie Sanders himself. It would be good to have a leftish moderate in the race. WV in da house!

That article was painful to read. The guy is alternately aggressive, thoughtful, combative, self-reflective, angry, proud with enough self-loathing mixed in to be dangerous. Of course, in the byline and bio, it does mention he overcame a crystal meth addiction and you have to wonder what he was like before he was an addict.

Everybody's talkin' at me I don't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echoes of my mind People stoppin', starin' I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes

BIDEN: "It is my hope and expectation that there will be less intrusive action relative to the hospital". I think he’s on to something, relative to the hospital. Relative to a Planet Fitness, Old Navy or public swimming pool, no, that would be crazy talk. You go full intrusive there.

Great, another fish n’ chips loving boozer with a fiery temper who wants to rule the world.

Nor, albino.

I really have come to detest the smarmy late night tv host shtick and their hot takes.

I have to admit you got range on this one, Fergie. From liberal fishing buddy to medical terminology to magisterium and all the way back to @B-Man and his performance in ethics/morality as a freshman in 19hundred-ought six-two. I don’t have anything to offer. As a youngster raised in/around the church, I’ve not quite figured out how to reconcile conflicting emotions over scandals and the like.

How close are they to the action, these civil society groups? How many of their people are hostages, or were slaughtered? Feel free to round up as needed.

You stop that, ya hooligan.

The Matthew Daniels Band? Hmm.

Charlie Daniels Band?

My heart hurts for you sometimes.

Which would be consistent with following the status quo and majority rule in, say, the Deep South in 1948. You should tell Thurmals, maybe.

If you’re a car guy, SpeedVegas is cool. About 20-25 minutes off the strip, you can drive a…pretty much whatever on their track. https://speedvegas.com

You may be right about the GOP, that’s hard to say. I tend to believe there is a cyclical effect where politics are concerned, but it seems clear to me the right to terminate a pregnancy is a very hot topic these days. On the other hand, riding with “Majority rules, always” would put you on the wrong side of many of the most important changes in American history, Thurmals. Not all that long ago, abortion would be on that list.
