Ginsberg said the same remark was made to her upon admission to law school. Perhaps its time for a non-white woman to be on the SC and a non-white woman to be president. That would really send evangelicals into a tizzy. Meanwhile "Former members of a self-described charismatic Christian community known as People of Praise have revealed details about the role of women within the group—of which potential Supreme Court justice pick Amy Coney Barrett is allegedly a member.... "people who were once part of the tight-knit community spoke to Newsweek, discussing how its leaders dictate almost every aspect of members' lives, including who they marry and how they raise their children.People of Praise, the Catholic League... Coral Anika Theill, a former member of a branch of the group in Corvallis, Oregon, told Newsweek that women are expected to be "absolutely obedient" to their husbands and the men in the group. According to Theill, those who aren't are "shamed, shunned, humiliated." Members of the People of Praise are also assigned advisers of the same sex, called a "head" for men and a "handmaid" for women—until the latter phrase apparently became too charged following the release of Hulu's television adaption of Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale. The novel portrays a totalitarian, theocratic regime where women are considered property of the state." Sounds like a woman after trump's heart if she was uneducated and twenty-five years younger.

Only for a little while longer.

Really? The facts of this narrative are?

This explains America's balance of trade issues!

Coming soon to tweet-dom "judicial bias", "deep state", "judicial meddling" @realdonaldtrump. All the more reason to stack the courts with political hatchet persons ready to do the bidding of religious conservatives and trump loyalists.

Thats not the "way it is". In a democracy it takes leadership to drive decision making to the benefit of all, the protections of all and then the protections of the state. in that order. Inside John McCain's 'Three Amigos' friendship. “McCain was the central figure, really, of the three of us,” Lieberman told ABC News in a recent interview...At an October 2008 rally, then-presidential candidate John McCain had to take a microphone from a supporter and tell her that Barack Obama is "a decent, family man." Currently the US has no such leader although Biden may emerge to bring America together. Only partisans cheer a win at all costs and scorched earth political policy. Democracies thrive on transparent everyone wins equal philosophy. Of current federal leaders Merkel illustrates this best and Xi,trump and Putin illustrate it the worst.

The destruction of American democracy began with the trump-Putin election. It advanced when the American people learned of it and did nothing. America has also lost its friends: "a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago. The publics surveyed also see Trump more negatively than other world leaders. Among the six leaders included on the survey, Angela Merkel receives the highest marks: A median of 76% across the nations polled have confidence in the German chancellor. French President Emmanuel Macron also gets largely favorable reviews. Ratings for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are roughly split. Ratings for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are overwhelmingly negative, although not as negative as those for Trump." Above PEW September 15, 2020 trump supporters and enablers will say who cares? Well it matters when the US wants to advance a cause in NATO, the UN, the EU and elsewhere. In that respect the US is alone as both Putin and trump want it to be. Within the US trust in the government has vanished: "Just 20% of U.S. adults say they trust the government in Washington to “do the right thing” just about always or most of the time." For those whose M.O. is everything Washington does is bad and the smallest government is the only one to have. Why would they think other citizens would respect federal democratic institutions?

Amy Coney Barrett is reported to be trump's nomination: "The 48-year-old judge on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago is a favorite among social conservatives. They, and others on the right, view her record as anti-abortion rights and hostile to the Affordable Care Act. If nominated and confirmed, Barrett would be the youngest justice on the Supreme Court and could help reshape the law and society for generations to come. When Justice Anthony Kennedy retired from the court in 2018, President Trump passed over Barrett, giving the nod instead to then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh. At the time, Trump told Barrett supporters that he was "saving" her to fill the Ginsburg seat, should the justice retire or die, sources say.... Barrett is a member of a particularly conservative Christian faith group, People of Praise. Newsweek reported that the group "teaches that husbands should assume authority as the head of the household." (Her parents are also members, and her father was a coordinator of the group's Southern chapters.) The New York Times reported that People of Praise "grew out of the Catholic charismatic renewal movement that began in the late 1960s and adopted Pentecostal practices such as speaking in tongues, belief in prophecy and divine healing."... Barrett has been critical of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision, but in 2016, she suggested that the court most likely would hollow out the decision, leaving the basic right to abortion in place, but allowing states wide latitude to make abortion difficult to obtain." Elections have consequence.

Thats the first sentence of a new statement of claim made by Mary Trump against Donald trump for actions to defraud her of her rightful share of their fathers inheritance. "The suit, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, accused Mr. Trump, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry and their brother Robert Trump, who died in August, of fraud and civil conspiracy. It seeks to recover the millions of dollars Ms. Trump claims to have lost.... Beginning in the 1980s, the suit contends, the president and his siblings took control of the New York City real estate empire their father, Fred Trump Sr., had built and “exploited it to enrich themselves” to the detriment of everyone around them." One way or another the discovery process will lay bare Donald trumps history of fraud and obstruction within trump enterprises.

Too funny. This entire thread is the antithesis that you have a flexible learning attitude about energy, the environment and the relationship of man's influence on the environment.

It means that Fancy Bear is yuck yucking it up in a Moscow suburb. Wondering about the genius of President Putin and the stupidity of Americans.

That is an amusing ad but as everyone knows it would only be lie 23,233 on Nov. 5th.

Thats probably a good summation about people in general on an issue which they most likely see doesn't directly put a buck in their pocket. The gumment could increase response rates if respondents were entered in a Loto to win $10 million.

NFL fined three coaches and teams over a million dollars for not wearing masks on the sidelines on the weekend. Yesterday trump repeated on FOX the remarks he made on the weekend that "the virus only attacks the old with heart problems". Sounds like a pick six for the NFL and a R quarterback on way to retirement.

Sorry about that i was going to add an emoji but was doing something else at the same time. no offense intended.

And yet here you are imaging that your opinions have substance in the discussion at hand.

Merely the subconscious at work. Perfectly understandable.

No, the current climate may suggest that but during the Clinton impeachment it was probably the opposite.Keep in mind that the classification of argument all falls under dishonest.

The so called trolls expose the same theology, thinking, philosophy,legal opinions as the President of the US. The same as his followers, enablers and voting supporters. They have remained steadfast in their support for trumpism in the face of facts, the media worldwide and midterm elections. Thirty eight percent are locked into that support. Yet some expect those same supporters here to change those opinions. Despite 200,000 dead, goatf*ck after train wreck. They are so confident of their debating skills that banning is their sole remedy. Above from.and further reading on debate.

Thats what bankruptcy is for. So oil companies can pay directors,shareholders and walk away from cleanup costs. "Oil and gas companies are hurtling toward bankruptcy, raising fears that wells will be left leaking planet-warming pollutants, with cleanup costs left to taxpayers."... The industry’s decline may be just beginning. Almost 250 oil and gas companies could file for bankruptcy protection by the end of next year, more than the previous five years combined, according to Rystad Energy, an analytics company. ... Even before the current downturn, methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, was being released from production sites in America’s biggest oil field at more than twice the rate previously estimated, according to a recent study based on satellite data. Some experts say that with the industry in disarray, efforts to fix leaks of methane, which pound for pound can warm the planet more than 80 times as much as carbon dioxide... The federal government estimates that there are already more than three million abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, two million of which are unplugged, releasing the methane equivalent of the annual emissions from more than 1.5 million cars.

US spends $81 billion a year to protect global oil supplies, report estimates The wars that really are about the oil America’s ‘hidden subsidies’ for fossil fuels are worth $170 billion a year You're right likely 1000 American dead every year to pay for the wars. A quarter trillion dollars per year in protection and subsidies costs. Not even close.

I know lots of cops and used to go shooting with them fairly often. They collectively view criticism of bad cops as an assault on their jobs and personal identity. They are shortchanged by bad pay, poor training and a overemphasis on lethal defense. Lethal defense because the public is always ready to kill them. That every interaction with the public is inherently dangerous and the Glock on the hip is your way home that night. Specialty training of hostage rescue specialists where they emphasize talking, waiting, listening, deescalation is missing in beat cops. For beat cops its order, expect compliance and resistance licensees lethal force. LE needs more emphasis on backing off, calling more backup, patience and deescalation.

Yes. I love it when chumming brings the fish to the hook.

Deere combines harvesting corn in Iceland and Alaska. Its the dream of every climate science denier.
