Do you ever get tired from being wrong all the time? The Civil War happened because the South took Ft. Sumter and by controlling the major ports the North was going to starve to death.

My apologies, I forgot you were rambling about this idiotic claim that it was about the South controlling all the ports (which I see has now changed to “‘the major”) and that the North would starve to death, even though as someone else pointed out when you said that the Civil War lasted 3 years and the North didn’t starve on their path to victory.

And yet 30 states have a minimum wage of $9.00+, so the majority of states are well above the minimum and thus would likely be at that amount regardless of the federal law. Which was my point In terms of abortion, if it was 30 weeks the majority of states would still be within that range. A 15 week ban however would be more strict than over half of the states’ current laws. So yeah, it was a stupid analogy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,559 Posted September 15, 2022 SCOTUS crushed the Dems' favorite toy which is funny but it also threw them electoral life preserver with the abortion ruling. The Dems deserve to drown in this red wave, instead they have a legitimate campaign issue. If Michigan gets stuck with Gretchen Halfwhit and the two other witches returned to office, abortion will have a lot to do with it, it's because the GOP has tied itself to a losing issue with abortion. I guess it had to happen though. The Pro-Life people have been in the GOP forever, and when you align with them, you have to toss them some wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People knocking on doors asking for your political affiliation before shooting you? Plus with so much of the country not really paying attention to politics at all, I just can’t see it happening.

Potentially hit-and-run small scale terror strikes against soft government targets then hiding in the civilian population while avoiding the military. I don't want to think to hard about it. If the country finds can't stay together, rather than violence, the best case would amicable and mutual national divorce of different factions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll await a further remark making your point even LESS valid. As I just said to Baker Boy, my point with bringing up 30 weeks is I think that’s a point where most states (not all) would agree it shouldn’t be allowed, and already have laws on the books stating as such. With minimum wage, most states are well above the federal minimum and likely would be regardless of the federal law. So it’s an apples to oranges comparison with Graham’s proposal which would be more strict than over half of the states’ laws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
