Suggests even more that the attempted hijacking was a staged incident. Netanyahu and Trump are going to try to use this pathetically engineered situation as a casus belli for yet another escalation against Iran.

An escalation that will achieve a total of nothing.

I am sure disbanding the department of education can only improve education

What ever happened to the victims rights?

What about her rights when she was beaten as a toddler?

What about her rights when she was raped at 11 years of age, by a relative?

What about her rights when she was raped by a stranger at 17?

What about her rights when she was abused and abandoned by her parents?

What about her rights when she was born with brain damage due to her mother drinking when she was pregnant?

What about her rights when she was raped, repeatedly, by her grandmother's boyfriend who forced his penis into her mouth?

What about her rights when she began school, when asked what she did at home, she drew a man with a horrifying face and large genitalia. Although the school contacted her parents, social services failed to intervene, and the police were never called?

What about her rights when her mother's boyfriends beat her with a paddle and twisted her ------- and punched her in the face?44

What about her rights when after suffering years of sexual and physical abuse and suffering from PTSD she went untreated and unmedicated?

Where is your compassion?

US envoy Jared Kushner holds the largest stake in Israeli firm supporting Israel's military, CNN reports
Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a top US peace negotiator for the Middle East, has been found to hold a significant stake in an Israeli firm investing in companies supporting Israel's military, according to a CNN report.

Kushner's investment group, Affinity Partners, doubled its stake last year in the Tel Aviv-based firm Phoenix Financial.

Records disclosed by CNN " obtained using Israeli financial transparency laws " found that Phoenix invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms manufacturer.

Kushner and fellow US special envoy Steve Witkoff brokered the "ceasefire" deal between Israel and Hamas last October.

It is easy to show mercy and compassion to those who have not done the worst

It is actual mercy and compassion to express sympathy and uplift those who have done the worst and attempted redemption.

I often think of Karla Faye Tucker who was mocked by George Bush, who he refused to commute her death sentence, who considers himself a christian

Tucker by all accounts had become a good person helping others in prison to improve their lives.

And bush mocked her as he condemned her to death.

yet another reason why I hold religious people in contempt

Still a miracle.
#12 | POSTED BY ZED

Nope

A miracle is an extraordinary event that cannot be explained by natural or scientific laws and is often attributed to a divine or supernatural power

No such thing as a miracle

Just human intervention either intentional or unintentional

Or hear me out

Maybe every human being has worth

Maybe every human being should be provided with mercy

Maybe the world would be a better place if we didn't consider people as less then and deserving of extinction.

Maybe, possibly, this would be a better world if we recognized that the type of trauma this woman suffered from her birth to her mid-teens lead her to commit this horrific crime and we actually tried to help her

Funny how my attitude is more christian than most christians.

5. Exactly. Divine providence.

Or more likely, someone in the chain of custody for the drugs didn't think the woman should be killed and messed with the bottles

In the christian belief system, if you sin in your heart you have sinned for real. Like the actual thought of something means you have done that thing. Like if you have lusted after someone you have committed adultry

Subhuman has wished to murder someone. By christian beliefs he has therefore murdered someone and should be shot dead.

A bullet would have prevented this. Or let the family deal with her.
We have gotten too soft in this nation. There should be no concern for the person being put to death. There was no concern for the victim.

I often wonder what people like subhuman would do if they were raped and beaten from say the age of 6 months until their early teens. I am sure they would develop into well-adjusted and contributing members of society.

People wonder why I hold religious people in such disdain

And again, it is beyond question that women able to conceive are second class citizens.

Because their right to healthcare of their choosing is denied them based on the SC's concept of "history and tradition"

That concept bases women's rights on decisions made when women had no rights.

If women had power in 1787 abortion rights would be in the 1st Amendment.

It's funny how Alito uses history and tradition to strip women of rights but not inter racial marriage, which clearly by "history and tradition" was far more clearly restricted

And then there is the infringement on my religious freedom.

My religious beliefs hold sacred a person's bodily autonomy. that a person has the right to do with their body what they so choose

I hold those beliefs as strongly, if not more strongly, than any religious "evangelical".

Jews and Muslims believe in abortion too, but ---- them, right?

Show me where in the Constitution Congress is prevented from passing a national abortion law.

#29 | Posted by BellRinger

If you ask that question, you clearly do not understand the Constitution.

The Constitution grants powers to Congress.

the Bill of Rights restricts Congress

The bill of rights specifically states when Congress can pass laws

The Constitution prevents the passing of a national abortion law because the Constitution does not explicitly (in the text) or implicitly (through unenumerated rights-because the SC said abortion isn't a right) grant Congress to pass such a law

Since the SC has stated abortion is not a right, then Congress cannot protect it.

Congress can attempt to coerce states to allow abortion through withholding of funding for healthcare, but this court will absolutely not permit that.

because abortion is not a right, therefore, Congress cannot require it

Christ this is grade school ----

Twoothy,
Under your twisted constitutional "Logic" ACA never should have been able to be passed because Congress apparently lacks the power to create laws governing healthcare.

#31 | Posted by BellRinger a

That's cause you're an idiot

the ACA was a tax program that taxed people for not having healthcare

Found constitutional by the SC

Dumbass

OOOH OOH I know the answer to that question!

a firm NO

Do Democrats have any kind of plan to reduce spending? Any plan to address the debt and deficits?
If so, I'm all ears.

Cut defense by 2/3 because as we have seen recently a trillion dollars per year is getting us a crappy military that is losing to a third rate power because we haven't prepared for the new form of warfare

That's a problem with capitalism, you get a military/defense complex based on raising profits and not national defense

Do Democrats have any kind of plan to reduce spending? Any plan to address the debt and deficits?
If so, I'm all ears.

Don't elect a republican and problem will be solved in a generation

Medicare for all

Americans pay less for insurance and get better healthcare

American use the savings to improve the economy leading to a stronger revenue base

Do Democrats have any kind of plan to reduce spending? Any plan to address the debt and deficits?
If so, I'm all ears.

#11 | Posted by BellRinger

Look at the Inflation Reduction Act
Look at the CHIPS act
Look at the Infrastructure bill

Investments in american industry that was improving economic mess left by Piggy1 thus increasing revenue

To be clear Congress CAN pass a law that allows a woman to travel between states for the purpose of obtaining an abortion in a ----------- state.
That is regulated through interstate commerce

Congress CAN restrict the interstate sale of abortifacients and medical devices used to perform abortions, thus de facto banning abortion.

#24 All we have to do is look at other laws that have been passed and it's easy to see how a national abortion law could pass. Don't get me wrong though, it is refreshing to see you paying fealty to constitutional restraints of federal power.

#25 | Posted by BellRinger

So, to summarize you cannot provide the power that Congress has.

What "other laws that have been passed"? It's easy to post examples.

You won't because you can't

When Congress passes laws to protect rights, like voting or marriage equality, those are unenumerated rights that the 14th Amendment gives Congress the power to pass laws on to enforce

Alito said people do not have a right to privacy as it relates to abortion.

So, I ask again, what power does Congress have to pass a law that PROTECTS abortion?

You won't answer because you are both dishonest and stupid
