Trump is part of the Russian mob.

Part of, or just controlled by?

We're still experiencing PPE shortages half a year into this pandemic since all our factories have moved elsewhere.
GM made some ventilators but our actual capacity to produce (or lack thereof) has been highlighted by this outbreak.

Yet during WWII, we built 16 B-17s per day in just one plant.

How far the mighty have fallen.

Their judicial wish list:

Outlaw abortion (and probably birth control)
Restore school prayer
Public taxpayer money to pay for religious schools
Freedom to discriminate against "those people"
Freedom to practice politics while retaining tax exemption

They'll swallow a lot of Repub sins to get those things.
"The ends justify the means" like Jesus said.

Wait, what?

That's 20% of the deaths with 4% of the world's population. Somehow that is supposed to equal an A+ response. Is human intelligence devolving?

You understand, your opinion is not the same thing as documented medical facts, right?

They had a better candidate than the guy who "won".

America has just gone maximum stupid, that's all. We have become two countries, one living in the real world (of science, fact, and logic) and the other...

but you can't really kill innocent people in pursuit of those rights.

Fetuses are not people, and most certainly not "citizens". Do they have a date of birth? How about a name? Are they citizens of the US if they are conceived here, regardless of where they are born? If they were conceived in another country, but are born in the US, which country are they citizens of? What if we can't be sure where they were conceived? Do they have Social Security numbers? If they are not citizens, how do they have rights that override the rights of actual citizens (i.e., women) over control of their own bodies?

The right's obsession with abortion will be the thing that destroys this country as a democratic republic.

I've always been told by my friend who is hunter that you do not point a gun at anything or anyone unless you intend to shoot.

NEWSWORTHY!

hahaha, he IS the Kwisatz Haderach!

No, he most definitely is NOT! Baron Harkonnen, maybe...

Cost could be reduced by making the healthcare providers goverment employees and removing patent protection from drugs and medical devices.

But..but..but that would be soshalism!

That's way to the left of what AOC and the Squad have ever proposed!

Isn't Costco's corporate management reponsible for maintaining the value of the brand? And if something makes the brand look bad to customers, they should do something about that, no?

Isn't consumer sentiment the basis of the "free market" in the first place?

What does "One Nation under God, indivisible" mean to you?
What does "Perfect Union" (as in "in order to form" one) mean to you?

The "sovereign states" version of the US was the Articles of Confederacy. They were replaced by the Constitution because they didn't work. The Constitution establishes a central government which is sovreign over the states (i.e., 14th Amendment).

The argument over States Rights was settled by the Civil War, the premature ending of Reconstruction notwithstanding.

Did we respond to Pearl Harbor as "48 sovereign states" or as a Nation?

A pandemic should be addressed like an attack on the nation. In fact, according to #45, it is an attack, from China! So we're expecting the individual states to respond to an "attack" from China?

There are many Constitutional Republics on this planet. None of them (other than ours) have this kind of disproportional representation. It is not a requirement in order to be a CR. When you combine the way the Senate is formed with the Electoral College, and winner-take-all elections that structurally perpertuate a two-party duopoly, US is the most UNdemocratic of all the Constitutional Republics (commonly known by everybody but Right Wingers as "democracies").

How can you have a "Government of The People" if the minority rules over the majority? How can a minority claim to speak for "The People"?

Since when do the Republicans care about what the majority of Americans want?

My cardiologist, a man in his early 30's got the virus in March. He was hospitalized for two weeks and still isn't 100%.

But it's a Democratic hoax (or "liberal media" fake news), right?

When you vote for a shameless piece of ---- you become one.

FTFY

This is just one of what I suspect will be many permanent changes resulting from this pandemic. Many of those changes are yet to be seen as permanent at this point. Those changes will have cascading effects, like how the "space race" enabled the computer revolution, and the fear of nuclear war (ARPANET) enabled the internet.

What is "soft coup" in the original Russian?

They recognize that they can't stay in power in a democracy, so they must eliminate democracy.

How many people do you think it takes to break some windows and set some fires?

If this is really true, why do the other 90% put up with the racists and bullies?

Ever hear of Frank Serpico?

Through my appearance here today ... I hope that police officers in the future will not experience ... the same frustration and anxiety that I was subjected to ... for the past five years at the hands of my superiors ... because of my attempt to report corruption. I was made to feel that I had burdened them with an unwanted task. The problem is that the atmosphere does not yet exist, in which an honest police officer can act ... without fear of ridicule or reprisal from fellow officers. Police corruption cannot exist unless it is at least tolerated ... at higher levels in the department. Therefore, the most important result that can come from these hearings ... is a conviction by police officers that the department will change. In order to ensure this ... an independent, permanent investigative body ... dealing with police corruption, like this commission, is essential ...
