If you're a medical provider at a hospital and your legal department hasn't gotten clarification on a poorly worded law that affects how you practice, you're not going to risk your license and career over ambiguity. If said ambiguity does not exist, that woman is seen immediately. This is squarely on legislators that wrote a shlt law. Blood, meet hands.

My wife insists on organic. There is a bit of a better flavor, although nothing close to organic chicken, which is significantly better tasting than even free range. There are security tags on the beef though. Still $7.99 for organic. Why wouldn't I vote blue if I'm paying such low prices? That's on you for living in one of those giant "shithole Democrat run cities." You should move somewhere red; I heard those hot, stanky-ass little towns in the deep south are awesome and beef is cheap!

Never seen Priest, despite being a fan since the 80s and the first time I heard SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL. I've seen a bunch of older bands recently, and Rob Halford's voice still seems stronger than the rest. Fukker can still hit those high notes.

MAGA loves to say "he won't be a dictator, he wasn't last time!" This, he actually DID last time so yeah, very plausible. Practically a guarantee. He must be stopped (at the ballot box). Assuming more assassins don't pop up before then, of course.

Seeing Priest next week. So fawking pumped. Their new album is excellent, FWIW.

They put on a good show, or at least they did 20 years ago when I saw them.

JFC. I buy organic ground beef and that's only like $7.99/lb. If you're paying that much, inflation ain't the problem Tony. Your own stupidity and elitism is. HTH.

Thanks for the link. It takes this bloviator a whole lot of words to say, basically, "we have verified that there are people from AFRICA that have been seen killing and then eating STRAY cats. Fock you, CBS!!!" So NOT the Haitians, NOT stealing pets. Assuming he's telling the truth about his investigation. Who GAF if foreigners are eating domestic animals that aren't pets? Also, even if 100% of the "threats" were from foreign sources, which has not been substantiated, none of them would have happened if Vance and Trump weren't such hardened pieces of shlt that they jumped on a divisive, racist, made up internet meme with gusto claiming it was all true.

Psst. Everything you say above can also be turned on MAGA. Which is one of the reasons Biden dropping out has caused such a ruckus on the right. The campaign was centered on demonizing Biden, but suddenly had to pivot on their repeated messages against him. Less time for the psyop- I mean "repeated points"- to work. Also, most of us anti-Trump folk have hated him for a very long time. We did not need ten years of repetition in marketing to bring us around on how horrible he is, was, and will continue to be.

HT can't handle detail or nuance. Quick, incisive, hit and runs are about all he can manage in his doddering condition.

Bingo He had a few handles; Riversco, Justincharge. He must have been permabanned. I haven't seen a post for a while and it's not like he'd get away with an alias without drastically changing posting styles.

Russian backing.

To the bolded: have I ever claimed otherwise? Also, I've gone out of my way many times to say that I do not believe that the vast majority of Trump supporters are racists. But, like anyone else, they are humans that tend to be receptive of us v. them messaging. And let me be clear: I have no issues with poor people; that was me growing up and I understand acutely many of the problems poor Americans face. I've always appreciated why his supporters like what Trump represents. I even agree in many ways. My problem has always been that they chose basically the worst possible human to be the voice of the D.C. outsider stirring the pot, taking on the corrupt politicos, and standing up for the millions of people being left behind. They need and deserve a voice. What they got is a hardened demagogue completely lacking in most relatable human traits that ultimately will hurt them more than he helps. And he won't GAF when he does.

Trump in an interview with Fox News Digital in the aftermath of the latest "assassination attempt:" "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying our country." Toddler in chief can't keep his yap shut, even for self-preservation; he's actively courting violence and, true to form, blaming everyone but himself.

No I meant empathy, not sympathy. I have what used to be a very common ability that has all but disappeared in America: I can consider another's perspective, even when I disagree with them. I guess I'm just an old "beta cuck," to use your political brethren's charming label. I appreciate the link, though I regrettably don't have the time to read a meta-analysis of 31 studies. I do believe that conservatives give more charitably; if nothing else, they're a lot more likely to attend church and offer some sort of tithe. I'm just calling it as I see it Jerry. I have seen a distinct drift toward intolerance and xenophobia, and an extreme disdain for anyone not in step with MAGA. Obviously that also occurs on the left, but I've asked a few people around here that have said shlt like "all libs need to be put down like dogs" or "can't wait for the civil war" if they really mean it, and so far no one has copped to hyperbole. They stand by their violent, anti-American opinions. I don't hear that from the left.

Bolded is exactly the quality we want in a POTUS, right? Republicans happily let him completely take over the entirety of their party, so not sure I agree with you about their preferences.

Why can't Republicans do this without an assassination attempt? Any other Republican would be winning this race going away.

Empathy? I guess I won't argue that. It's definitely a trait that has disappeared on the right.

Nicer than your average rural trailer park full of white people on disability.

It sucks. I've only had to do it a handful of times, always for employees that were absolute hot garbage. Even when I can't stand them and they cause constant problems I still feel bad for them.

Nah, I just respect other people (until they show they don't deserve it, anyway). You should try it sometime.

I used to think you just had bad opinions, but now I realize that you are one fuking stupid lemming that apparently is also racist. We actually DO need immigrants, bigoted parrot. You have the cojones unmitigated ignorant gall to tell others to think for themselves when you don't even have the capacity. Not that you'll look or care, but: Immigrants are now twice as likely to start a new business as native-born Americans New data shows why the U.S. needs more immigrants Benefits of Immigration Outweigh the Costs The Contributions of Immigrants Are Essential to U.S. Economic Growth and Competitiveness Immigrants Contribute Greatly to U.S. Economy Immigration Benefits All Americans and Strengthens the Economy

You think men have to be misogynistic, ignorant, uncaring sociopaths to prove they're men. Stupid!

Not even in art or science? Sheesh, you guys really hate rainbows! I don't think @Maximum Overkill has seen this memo. He still uses them in nearly every post.

Or takes the heat off him for really poor decisions. "Don't look at me, the STATES did that!"
