It's why wealth inequality isn't that big of a deal, and the myth of the millionaire trust-fund baby is about as accurate as the myth of the welfare Cadillac queen.
90% of all great fortunes are gone within three generations. The first generation knows how to create wealth...the follow on generations only know how to consume it.

So all we have to do is wait on average 60-80 years! Great!

Liberal journalists have no ability to measure moral calculus of any kind.
www.msn.com
It comes down to party and that's it. There is no calculus, or logic of any kind, done when reporting today. If you are a Liberal, you will agree that anything that goes against the other side's values is the very definition of morality. No matter the heights of hypocrisy you have to climb to get there, you will never show any humility or degree of logical thinking of any kind. It comes down to your party's values and nothing else. AOC could come out and say Tax the Lower Class and you would applaud her efforts. There aren't enough Democrats left in the US to make a difference, they've all been replaced or overshadowed (read: loud-mouthed and child-like tantrums) by extreme Liberals.

Shut the hell up with your false equivalence crap.

#8 CU was about an anti Hillary Clinton movie that government tried to suppress under McCain/Feingold.

#13 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

No. It was about election spending on a movie about Hillary Clinton from a PAC. This wasn't just some movie. This was a movie made by a political action committee for the purposes of swaying the voters.

And it was actually Speechnow.org v. FEC that really ------ things up when relying on Citizens United. The Court held Super PACs could collect unlimited contributions. They have to include who they got the money from but that's an issue with dark money groups that donate to Super PACs because they can hide the donors to the dark money group.

This means that in competitive races, about 70% of spending is from outside Super PACS rather than the candidates or their PACs.

It's going to only get worse. Who in in their right mind would want to be a cop in today's environment?

Maybe if we gave them proper training and decent pay, we could find proper candidates and wouldn't have scandal plagued departments across the country?

That's fine. They don't have to get vaccinated. They also don't have to leave their homes.

You don't get to endanger other people because of your religious beliefs.

No, the plaintiff really didn't have standing.
I hate legal technicalities as much as the next person, nevertheless, they exist and are applied broadly.
SCOTUS did not affirm this new Texas law. Legal and legislative remedies still exist.

That's not what the Supreme Court said.

They instead indicated the law was complex insofar as it covered ordinary citizens filing these lawsuits against abortion providers. Therefore the 5 wouldn't grant the injunction because there wasn't a "strong showing" that the applicants would "likely succeed on the merits."

Which is ironic because the Court already decided the State couldn't delegate enforcement of laws prohibiting abortion like this way back in 1976.

You are right, Danni. But only partially. It wasn't the Democrats, either. It was World War 2.

This idiot...

Your article actually says World War II DIDN'T end the Great Depression...and the Great Depression couldn't end until after World War II when defense spending and rationing stopped.

BTW, FDR was so tolerant of opposing views that he threatened to stack the Supreme Court when they got in his way.

Try again.

Sure Danni, he's a black man. We get why you hate him.

Yep. That's it. Not that he is already lying about fraud.

I was reading the article linked to the tweet posted with the thread.

And you attacked people because you didn't read the main article?

Sounds typical for you.

Mu? Great! Now they really think cattle de-wormer will work.

Triage and actuaries are nothing new. Someone just started calling them death panels a few years ago.

No, liar.

Triage situations aren't normal in US hospitals. US Hospitals almost NEVER have to triage like this except in mass casualty events. This is a mass casualty event DAILY.

Bring their anti vax asses back to the border and drop them off.

It takes a special kind of ghoul to celebrate this.

Nope. It takes a person that knows these two screwed over their children and likely infected others (possibly killed others).

We're tired of your stupid selfish anti-fax garbage getting people sick, killing people, and dragging the nation down into oblivion.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva: "QUESTION: How is this not a hate crime? ANSWER: Because "woke privilege" means a white woman can wear a gorilla mask and attack a black man without fear of being called a racist. Where is the outrage from our politicians?"

Since when do Republicans care if something is racist?

I don't hear you saying a damn thing about the racist Trumpers screaming the N word, flying Nazi flags or murdering cops on Jan 6.

The study you cite had only 400 participants and failed to account for a huge number of factors.

POSTED BY JAMESGELLIOTT

So where did you get your medical degree?

Seriously, you must have one if you are telling me to trust one study rather than another set of studies or to tell me you can promise this study was properly done and is accurate.

Did the person have zip ties?

Can't these clinics get police protection!?!

Since when do police protect anyone or anything from Trumpers?

Texas Governor Promises To 'Eliminate All Rapists'

They elected a ------- Rapist as President.

Tell,us, oh wise one, what gun control law would you pass that would have prevented this particular case? This was a deranged, homicidal PTSD addled Marine who thought he was acting on orders from God to murder little kids. With his infantry training, I think he could have easily accomplished that without a gun.
So yeah. THIS PARTICULAR CASE WAS MORE ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS THAN GUNS. But you think that's stupid. Says more about you than me.says your head is up your arse.

#34 | POSTED BY MIRANDA7

Do you know why you never hear stories like this in Japan? Because the entire country isn't armed.

How about Switzerland? Strict licensing of guns and ammo. You don't just get to keep ammo in the home for shooting people anytime you feel like it.

There are laws that work.

No it's not too soon to talk about gun control. It's also not too soon to talk about mental illness. This particular case was WAY more about mental illness than guns.

#21 | POSTED BY MIRANDA7

Mental Illness didn't kill these people. He didn't fire Mental Illness at them.

Let me help you: Trying to overthrow the US government is insurrection.

Time for a new federal law.

If you sue someone for having an abortion, you are liable for $500,000.

People will line up to be sued.

Maybe you should listen to them and understand why they feel like they feel.

#14 | POSTED BY BOAZ

We did. They feel the way they do because they believe Trump's election lies.

That's their choice and it should have consequences

And our choice should be to arrest them for insurrection and shoot any who try to hold another Jan 6.
