    The day I become even 10% as disingenuous as you, I will run not walk to a session.  Probably because my wife already would have kicked me out of the house.  So, for now, I'm good.

    Dude we know. The only behavioral problem that’s transparent about you is this:

    You do not use the goddamned “ignore” feature nearly as often as you should.

    Anastasia, flailing wildly to overlook a completely foreseeable outcome from his preferred policy.

    Natural consequence of unshakably believing the real world functions in the way it’s described in a high school civics class.

    I think they intend to be done by the end of the 117th session.  But if they're not, then yes.

    Right it’s my understanding that the next season of Game of Insurrections is supposed to air sometime next month and I’d imagine they could squeeze the third and final installment prior to the swear in date.

    If they wanted to be as petty and vindictive as their lunatic partners in that Animal House known as the Trump faction of the GOP, they should announce the issuance of their final report on January 3rd mere minutes before the term(s) of Kinzinger and possibly Cheney expire.

    Watching this thread seesaw between "WE GOT HIM" and "it's going to be a big nothing burger" within 3 days is more entertaining than the football forum, all because Garland didn't have him thrown into Gitmo within a day. 

    This. Exactly this.

    When your defense of the position “nothing will happen” revolves entirely around “he isn’t in prison already, so it’ll never happen,” you really don’t have any real permission to argue that this isn’t about impatience.

    I might have a watch party for that debate. Come up with a drinking game/squares. Might have to let everyone crash, though. We'll be blasted within an hour

    No, you’ll be dead in an hour if any drinking game is based on Herschel Walker saying something grotesquely stupid.

    Uh, what do they connect to, Dave?

    ”God”

    Whose God?

    ”The God of the Bible”

    The same God of the Bible that says a baby isn’t alive until it’s taken its first breath?

    ”uuuhhh”

    The same God that says until that moment, it’s literally a part of the woman’s body?

    ”wtf???”

    Yeah I get that Texas fans hate SMU and certainly have no sympathy for the Express teams, but here’s the deal:

    Penn State got fucking whacked by an 8-4 Alabama 42-21 in the middle of the year. SMU then decides to opt for a tie against Arkansas because it gave them the outright conference title (Texas wins the SWC if Arkansas wins that game), and yet they were punished for that in the polls the following week as PSU jumped over them? Nah fuck all that. 

    Not at all saying that was worse than some of the aforementioned in the thread, but they belong in the conversation.

    I believe corporations are not people.

    This is the one you’ll get little to no resistance on, yet this is the one Republican political candidates believe most in, and there are so many who both 1) do not agree with the idea of corporate personhood and 2) cannot wait to vote for candidates who do.

    Believe it was here in the CR that someone posted a very succinct Twitter thread that surmised these peoples whole life revolves around ‘I can tell you what to do, you cannot tell me what to do’.  And that is exactly the crux…

    They'll shove gun, abortion, transgender, identity politics down your throat trying to force everyone into their ideal but the moment any legislature is proposed on gun control it’s “big government is overreaching”

    The irony across the board…every accusation a confession, they all beat you over the head with the word freedom, they plaster themselves in American flags.  It’s disgusting 

    I literally know people who insist that “freedom of religion” as read in the first amendment is supposed to be interpreted to mean “freedom to choose between denominations of Christianity.”

    They won’t say it out loud, but whenever they say “freedom of choice,” that’s supposed to mean “freedom to choose between the choices I give you.”

    was just gonna say this. 

    i've never understood the need to tell others what to do. that level of insecurity is so damn strange. 

    Dude, they believe in bullshit and they need to constantly validate that belief so as to not shake their fragile “confidence” in it. Every fallacy that can be used to justify this behavior has been used, and every argument that has been used to justify this behavior is fallacious.

    The biggest ones they use are false equivalence and projection wherein they make believe that they’re the victims of persecution. They pretend “evolutionism is being forced down our throats against our will,” “prayer in school is illegal,” “conservative political thought isn’t allowed,” etc…all while simultaneously trying to force “intelligent design” into biology courses, reintroducing the nation to compulsory prayer in public schools, and passing all sorts of laws banning the teaching of so-called “critical race theory.”

    The gay community wants nothing to do with him.

    I would imagine that if they were in a group discussion of 3+, they’d be going like:

    ”Guys we need to be supportive of one another and we shouldn’t disparage each other with derogatory comments and nasty epithets that accomplish nothing but to divide us, which allows the homophobes to have an easier time in marginalizing us.”

    ”Even guys like Christian Walker?”

    ”No, he’s a total fag.”

    Sorry to appear argumentative -- should you have answered that question "no"?  To put it another way, do any of the Jewish faith feel life begins BEFORE first breath?

    My bad, you’re correct.

    So to answer your amended question, I’m sure there may be this or that Jewish person who believes that life begins before breath, but that’s not what their religious text tells them and I would assume that by and large, that’s not what they believe.

    Is "life begins at first breath" not a fairly universal tenet of Judaism?  Do some use Psalms and the Prophets to argue otherwise?  Those are Old Testament books.

    Honest question.

    Yes.

    I could cite this again (way upthread), but Jewish law holds that for the first 40 days of gestation, what’s growing inside the woman is mere fluid (most commonly referred to as water). After that and until it has breathed the breath of life (day 41-birth), it’s considered to be a part of a woman’s body (most commonly referred to as a “thigh”). 

    And speaking of the thigh, that’s exactly why that passage about the Test of the Unfaithful Wife in Numbers 5 is sometimes mistranslated to say that if the wife has been unfaithful, got pregnant, and drinks the potion “her thigh will rot and fall away.”
