    Trump could shoot RBG in the middle of 5th Avenue and it wouldn't matter.  Susan Collins might be concerned, that's it.

    Susan Collins would assume he realized he “made a mistake” and since “learned” from it. She’s the embodiment of right wing politics in general: bottomless naïveté with a relentless pursuit of believing in pretend.

    Oh....hpslugga....you're adorable.  We already know how this goes.

    All that talk about being "anti-gestapo" wasn't just off, it was a flat-out LIE.  They fucking LOVE the gestapo....they just wanted to make sure that it was a gestapo working for their team.

    Oh I have no doubt what the result will be. Just wanted it to be on record in advance that they had the opportunity to actually be brave for once in their useless lives and once again eschewed the opportunity.

    Why do they do things like that?  Massively over charge, I mean.  Is it to try to get plea deals or something?

    Intimidation regarding anyone who has funny ideas about protesting in the future. The problem is that they think what we’re seeing when they flex their muscles like this is Hulk Hogan. What we’re really seeing is Barney Fife.

    Yeah- men are called to so much more by the faith than modern secular humanism calls them to. We are also to live our wives sacrificing like Christ loved the church, even dying for them. 
    I’m not good at that stuff. But the people back in the day who used the Bible to “keep women in line” and make sure they obeyed them were so hilariously stupid and unchristian it makes my head spin. 
    As a man walking by the tennants of my faith I’m responsible for dying to my wife and her desires, spiritually guiding her and my kids, providing and protecting for them, and that’s just my reponsibility around my 4 walls, to say nothing of my fellow believers, advancing the kingdom, and humanity writ large. 

    I’m sure you believe that. There’s just no reason to.

    Masturbation?

    Actually it’s a person (presumably a man) that fails their family. A lot of people, even atheists, think that it’s the sin of unbelief, but it explicitly says in First Timothy 5:8 “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

    But either way, as George Carlin would have said, it’s all bullshit and it’s bad for ya.

    My evangelical in-laws are full on Trumpkins. On their entryway table they've built a small altar for Trump with matching MAGA hats placed, bills crossed, at the base of a cross & Bible. MIL stays out of politics for the most part, minus the occasional fwd>fwd>fwd> email my wife gets. But the FIL has told me multiple times how there is proof that Obama, Clinton, Gore, Carter--any president or high ranking official with a D by their name--is an agent of the devil if not Satan himself (Obama). Conversely, Trump is the living embodiment of King Cyrus: a POS that God is using for a bigger purpose.

    Fucking hypocritical morons who use their "teachings" to justify their deplorable stances.

    I wouldn’t engage. That’s a person that’s too far gone.

    I mean seriously, they’re suggesting that not only is there proof that an invisible being occupying a fictitious place really exists but that this invisible being in the fictitious place is plotting with mortal men, for whatever reason, and that they all happen to be Democratic Presidents of the United States? That’s just straight up insanity now that I think of it

  7. Oh he's the most spineless of them all, yet people are so easily distracted by bells, whistles, smoke, mirrors, colors, lights, etc that they think his pseudo tough guy rhetoric makes him a tough guy. If you picked up Donald Trump's testicles and rolled them into a drinking straw, it'd look like two kernels of corn were rolling around in a storm drain.

    And as far as the rest of those goons and hooligans in that chickenshit organization known as the GOP, he surrounds himself with likeminded spineless buffoons. Rick Perry was the governor of Texas when Dan Patrick was a state senator that had his hands all over the statement enunciating the party's platform in 2012. In it, they said of education "We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority." Perry didn't have anything to do with the drafting of that statement, but he nonetheless gave every fucking word of it his dickless aggy blessing. Again, the bold phrase is a sign of weakness, not strength, contrary to what those morons imagine. You can go through Trump's cabinet, especially its initial edition, and you'll find the same thing: spineless cowards who pretend to be tough.

    Let's break down both stories since you can't be bothered to read past the headlines

     

    Story 2 How Hydroxychloroquine can help patients survive?

    How are these stories in conflict with each other? 

    And even if they were 100% in conflict, I would appreciate if a journalist decided to flip flop 100% if they later discovered they were wrong. Only weak minded people stick to a narrative even once they're proven to be wrong. 

    Absolutely this. So many use the sentence "that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it" and they think it's a projection of strength. It's not. It's a very cowardly display of weakness.

    That’s the kind of person he is. 

    And suppose that Epstein really did have videos. You know full well that Dershowitz will do what the fuck ever he can to prevent them from ever seeing the light of day. This is the same guy who, when he was caught plagiarizing that hoax of a book known as From Time Immemorial via that piece of fucking shit known as The Case For Israel, threatened to “own” University of California Press very shortly after they indicated their intentions to publish Norman Finkelstein’s Beyond Chutzpah, which is a front-to-back demolition of Dershowitz’ garbage. That’s how desperate he gets when he knows he’s been caught in a lie. He’s Rafael Palmeiro pointing the finger at Congress denying be ever took steroids, and then when he gets caught, he screams like a little bitch hoping that no one ever hears the exposure.

    I’m not really in your dreaming camp. Or talking about any sort of large scale shift. I’m just saying that Patrick, personally, is strongly disliked, even by otherwise reliable Republican voters. No one who has an educator in their family voted for him.

    And for good reason. In the GOP platform that the state released in 2012, their position on education was:

    "Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."

    And everyone with a functioning gray cell understood that his fingerprints were all over that. He's pig-ignorant and proud of it. But he'd have been simply cast aside were it not for the fact that his voter base is filled with 1) people who agree with this mentality, which means they're as pig-ignorant as he is 2) people who don't know that's in their platform 3) people who don't care and 4) pseudo intellectuals that offer twisted apologetics in defense of this garbled verbal effluvia.

    It didn't quite work out for Sinn Fein despite coming in first in the general election. A centrist coalition was formed and they were able to keep Sinn Fein out of leadership with the appointment of Michael Martin as Prime Minister (Taoiseach). Sinn Fein is now the opposition party as of this weekend.

     

    Well motherfucker

    Things are going to get interesting in Ireland.

     

    I've not seen any updates about this but am very curious. Anyone come across anything about how this is progressing (or not)?

    Yeah I’m pretty sure we’re fucked, dude. 

    I mean the UIL lifted its longstanding restrictions on live broadcasting Friday games, so that tells me they've already got their finger on the "No Fans In The Stands" button, which is just next to the "No Football At All" button.

    In Illinois athletics, there was a rule---if you missed that day of classes, you could not participate in any interscholastic competitions.  This was if you were sick, got back from vacation, went to a funeral, or you had to work with your dad at the farm.  You could not play in a game.  And if you missed Friday school, that extended to Saturday games (our football games were typically midday Saturday, not Friday night like in Texas).  Only exceptions were if you were gone from class doing something else academic (academic/club competitions, visiting a college, scholarship interviews, etc.).  

    Is there something like that in Texas?  because the hard part is even if you have the money and resources to play high school football, half the kids (at least in our district) are going to be remote learning, they're not technically in school that day.  However, you could argue that they are still "attending class" from home, but somebody's gonna need to change that language toot-sweet. 

    No the only rule they have is No Pass No Play. There is no exclusion for missing class on that particular day. And even if they did, you're right in that such rules have to be modified in these specific times.

    I'll take your word.  Clarence has some weird ideas so you do kind of know he's thinking, if in an aberrant way.  I don't remember any Alito opinions off the top of my head.

    I was gonna say, Clarence has always stuck out at me more than Alito in the stupid category. Where Alito has it on him is dishonesty

    Fucking Abilene is defying an order from the governor to close bars?  That shithole town which has like 11 different Church of Christ colleges and which, according to Google, doesn’t even allow hard liquor sales on Sundays (so as not to burn in hell) ... that fucking place is making a stand to keep bars open?  

    Everyone in the GOP has lost their fucking minds.   If some Democrat scientist told them abortion clinics had to shut down because of Covid, at this point they’d probably all try to go get abortions and tell the clinic not to use any masks or hand sanitizer in protest.

    That's exactly how those idiots have been for quite a while. They've been groomed to believe, going back to the days of Barry Goldwater (certainly to the days of the Reagan Administration when it transcended into a level of vulgarity at which other countries laugh), that ANYTHING the Democratic Party advances has to be evil, and that they therefore must oppose it. They don't bother looking into the issue; they just vote against it first and then work it back with tortured "logic" and embarrassing apologetics. And nothing ever interrupts the very binary nature of their "reasoning," either. At least one of them is reading this post at this very second and they're thinking, because they have to get all the words in when they go derogatory, "you radical leftist stalinist fascist socialist communist anarchist, you love and support the DNC!!!HILLARY LOVER!!!"

    of course, on this very thread i explained to you that it was not merely about throttling, though that is an aspect. you clearly still do not understand this issue, and still cannot articulate why you are against net neutrality. it's kind of an amazing thing to behold.

    Dude, he’s against it because the Republicans and the Trump administration are against it. He’ll never admit to that, but that’s what the fuck this is.

    On a serious note, I think BLM kinda fucked themselves, from a PR standpoint, by making Michael Brown their beachhead.

    They should have kept the focus on Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner. 

    And Botham Jean and a host of others, which is really the larger point: this isn’t about having beachheads or poster boys or anything like that. 

  18. My alma mater had to change a LOT more of its traditions than merely its school song back in 2004, and we’re perfectly fine with those changes. I really don’t see what the problem is if enough students no longer wish it to be a part of the culture.
