    Awesome. Another magic to believe in. I would prefer more Rastafarianism myself. Rastas know how to deal with their Demons.

    I'm still having a hard time believing in the magic of "Trickle-down economics".

    One of the interesting things I think about is that one of the issues during the Kennedy/Nixon campaign was whether we wanted to be ruled by the Pope. I guess that’s not an issue now.

    I still remember my parents raging about a Catholic POTUS.

    Ten year old has to go across state lines to get abortion services.  If Republicans get control, one might need to have a passport.

    She went to Indiana??? Having been born & raised there, (it was a mistake I rectified after graduating college), I'm surprised it was legal.

    Well ya, I'm nobody, right?

    Made the comment because after several attempts to talk about crypto in the past, it never really took off.  Just comments about how it's just a scam and it'll never work and how all those people are just a bunch of idiots. . .you know, the usual.

    Sometimes, the truth hurts.

    I've got a much better angle.

    Judaism allows abortion, and that is certainly a private and quiet event.  A Jewish woman could certainly sue (say) Texas and say that denying her right to an abortion violates her First Amendment right to worship as she sees fit.

    No need to create an example; We have a real case already:

    Is anyone viable running against her in the general election?

    I don't know much about him, but he graduated college, (as opposed to high-school dropout Boebert), so I'll bet he can read the constitution.

    A perk of being an unaffiliated voter in CO is that in primary elections, you receive ballots for both major parties, but can only mail in one of them. So this year I mailed in the GOP ballot just so I could vote against Tina Peters.

    Boebert opined thusly today: "The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church."

    Good gawd! It's worse than that; The moron swears it is not in the constitution. Jump to 7:03 in this video for the actual video of her statement:

     

  18. Some googling turns up that it is possible to court-martial military retirees.

    Michael "Fifth" Flynn needs to be court-martialed and stripped of his retirement benefits.

    But which church? The Jewish church, or the Muslim church?

    I was driving for a few hours today, and was listening to todays surprise witness on the radio. One of Mark Meadow’s top aides; among other things she described the aftermath of a Trump temper tantrum (plate thrown at the wall; ketchup cleanup), and his willingness to go to the Capitol for the insurrection (“I’m the fucking President - take me there”). 
    I haven’t been glued to the radio or TV for these; to me, it’s kind of like renting a video of a dumpster fire. But maybe I should, just so I can be properly pissed off.

    I'm seeing some wild reactions on Twitter today.

    I have not watched it yet, but will shortly. I always download the video after the hearing so I can stop/start it as desired, w/o streaming issues.
