    Whoosh. 

    I never said that wasn't their intention, but merely pointed out that P2025 is a mostly federal thing.

    No fault divorce is going to have to come from the states.  QED its absence from P2025 is meaningless.

    They could force the issue by changing the tax code, right?  US declares that married couples in states which do not eliminate no fault divorce will no longer be able to file jointly.  I believe a similar tactic was used with great effect to force the raising of the drinking age to 21.  No federal tax dollars for roads in Louisiana if they did not raise their drinking age.  They complied.

    What is Afd? And no I don’t want to google it.

    Alternative for Germany, far right political party.  Alarmingly, just came in second in the EU elections in Germany.  Members have engaged in various forms of violence, bribery and accepting money from Russian sources (gasp!).

    I was in Germany a couple of weeks ago and yes, their political posters around the towns all look mostly tame.  Not a swastika to be found!  But Elmo obviously didn't look much deeper at their underlying actions, motives and history.

    It isn't that I single them out. It is that Macron makes tough statements that the facts don't support. It is just words. So the way it flows is that someone posts Macron tweets and everyone gets fired up and then I post chill the enthusiasm. The last time I posted on the subject was when Macron was shitting on Germany for not giving enough when the facts show that they have given a lot more total and a lot more by percentage GDP than France. If you want to cheer, cheer for:

    Estonia certainly has my vote of praise, for more than one reason.

    Juan Merchan, the judge, begins by saying Trump can have May 17 to attend the high school graduation of his youngest son, Barron. Trump had complained about not immediately being given permission. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” the judge says.

    Oh great.  Now Trump HAS to go to Barron's graduation ceremony instead of playing golf.  That might be more punitive than the fines.

    Assortative mating = Eugenics

    Who's got that on their bingo card?

    His assertion that there's been a massive rise in exceptionally smart people recently seems to fly in the face of the even larger amount of data present in the form of social media.

    Yet he thinks we'll all be Big Head Bighetti in the future.

    While it’s important to place the blame at the feet of Republicans, it is equally important to note that House Progressives and the Squad are joining forces with Mike Johnson to prevent a vote on a bill that their party supports and negotiated.

    Katie Porter?  Damn.  I guess now I should be happy she lost in the Senate primary.

  7. In this day and age, I have to recognize that this could be a hoax.  But Eliot Higgins reposted it, so presumably there's something to it.

    Just how much more obvious does it need to be stated?  This moron is a threat to the Republic.

    Were they trying to keep the money in Europe?

    Who can say?  But certainly some supporters here have in the US hyped up that 60% (or whatever the percentage was) of all Ukrainian aid was spent here in the US.  So playing it up as a "jobs program" may have placated some of their electorate sitting on the fence about the issue.
