Yeah you read that right. These guys are CNN — Following what some conservatives view as legal victories on the battlegrounds of abortion rights and affirmative action, a number of politicians and influencers are turning their attention to another long-held construct: No-fault divorce. Right-wing commentators like Steven Crowder and Matt Walsh have ramped up complaints in recent months that it is too easy for people — specifically women — to get divorces. All states currently have some version of a no-fault divorce law, but Republicans in Texas and Nebraska list the dissolution or restriction of no-fault divorce in their state party political platforms. In Louisiana earlier this year, state GOP members debated officially backing the dissolution of no-fault divorce, but no decision was made. A lack of full-on legislative attempts to curb the practice hasn’t stopped an abundance of conservative anti-divorce rhetoric, or an answering wave of fear from progressives. Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson has been a vocal opponent of no-fault divorce, which allows couples to obtain a divorce without proving fault — and without both parties agreeing to the split. In a 2016 sermon, he claimed it turned the United States into a “completely amoral society.” Though no-fault divorce was first legalized more than 50 years ago, it has long been sneered at in conservative circles, who see it as a danger to the sanctity of marriage and the concept of the American family. For feminists, human rights advocates and others, no-fault divorce is an important buttress for gender equality and directly addresses issues like marital abuse. Many legal minds also see no-fault divorce as a common-sense legal path that reduces unnecessary burdens on courts and couples alike. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/27/us/no-fault-divorce-explained-history-wellness-cec/index.html

Did they make one of them speaker of the house?

Eventually, yes. Unfortunately

“America First” is a meaningless slogan. You mean isolationism. And I don’t think that’s possible in today’s world

Just posting articles on current events, trying to edumecate your stupid ass

She is certainly a more traditional “establishment” type. Kind of hard to imagine the republicans going back to that, but someday there *will* be a post-Trump party, if only due to the passage of time

They seem to be calling grounding quite a bit more these days. I think it’s to somewhat counterbalance the fact that you can’t actually hit a QB anymore

Late last month, Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, got an unexpected call from Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase. Mr. Dimon said he was impressed by Ms. Haley’s knowledge of policy details and her open-minded approach to complex issues raised in the Republican presidential race, according to a person familiar with what they discussed. Keep it up, he told her. He wasn’t the only business heavyweight to say so. In recent weeks, a number of chief executives, hedge fund investors and corporate deal makers from both parties have begun gravitating toward Ms. Haley and, in some cases, digging deeper into their pockets to help her. Her ascent in the polls and strong debate performances have raised hopes among Republicans hungering to end the dominance of former President Donald J. Trump that maybe, just maybe, they have found a candidate who can do so. “I’m a long way from making my mind up — something could change — but I’m very impressed with her,” said Kenneth G. Langone, the billionaire Home Depot co-founder, who has donated to Ms. Haley’s campaign and is considering giving more. “I think she’s a viable candidate. I would certainly like her over Trump.” Here’s a link so that cranky bish @Strike can complain it’s behind a paywall https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/24/us/politics/nikki-haley-trump-2024.html

I think they probably knew that but it’s a really tough call when you’ve got the second-winningest coach in NFL history

Krafts will be motivated for a quick turnaround. Don’t know if they’ll succeed, but they’ll try

His drafts from 2019-2021 were absolutely atrocious. Jury is still out on the last two years but I’d say those were mediocre at best. Some terrible free agent signings too. Johnnu Smith, Smith-Schuster, etc

I’ve already been told I look like a tall hobbit, from back when we had the pic thread

Why fire BB now, Ed? Complete the tank job, set yourself up to get Williams or Maye, then see where you are at HC (I think they will “mutually part ways” after the season)

It’s going to be very interesting next year, when Biden is the war monger candidate for backing Ukraine and Israel, and all these same righties currently foaming at the mouth will suddenly weep for the Palestinians and declare Trump the candidate of peace. Mark my words.

They got to go apesh1t this time, for 6+ weeks. And yes, next time they will again. It is an unfortunate cycle. I’d like to see a permanent solution but people have been talking about that for decades

Truce being extended two more days. I don’t think Israel can go back to wanton destruction at this point

You still have Pitt too high. They are lucky but not good at all. Sh1t, I’d probably put GB higher than Pitt

Closing arguments today. What say you Geeks? Murder or something less?

We don’t want you anyways

The ones in his haid

“Kyle”? He’s not your friend, buddy

That doesn’t even make sense. You’re not rational, jon

Poor jonmx has obviously lost his marbles
