This is inciteful language.

Josh - do with it as you please.

You racists to hate being called out, don't you?

Missing the point, the mangods in Iran are executing sports heroes who dare to say negative things about their terrible Govt. Jimmy Carter refused to back the Shah a shining light at the time who attempted to reform the Ayatollahs.

No need to respond. My point was clear. He is free to misread it and rant incoherently.

Didn't misread.   You did.   He's not saying a humanitarian person doesn't deserve respect.   He's saying doctors don't get to decide their treatment plans on who's been naughty and nice.   They don't get to make fat smoker dude wait gasping for oxygen because they've judged his whole life and decided he's not Mother Theresa.   

I worked in a hospital.   Medical ethics is seeing all human lives as having value, and making decisions on urgency of need, and least harm.

This is likely criminal.

Well, there is a process for applying - and this results in there being a list

Not so easy as Trump just deciding he wants to pardon someone, with that party having no knowledge.

The video accompanying the Achtung provided evidence that the simile to Nazis was correct.   Achtung,  as Larry used it,  is a metaphor for "here's something that parallels what happened in Nazi Germany..."

The main value of kid’s posts is they give us an idiots view of the zeitgeist in the cess pits he links to without having to wade in. It’s a way to get a taste of current Nazi ideas without having to punch one directly.

I told you these motherfuckers were Nazis years ago. Look back over this past administration and ask yourself is there ANYTHING they wouldn't have done if they thought they could shrug it away?

"I alone can fix it."

"It is what it is."

Achtung.

You couldn't straight up buy a pardon but you can pay guy who has access to decision makers with the ear of POTUS.

This administration has taken corruption to a new level.

One day this is gonna make one hell of an opera.

Read:  I refuse to back him up by saying exactly what my feeling is on Rand Paul's statement.


Ummmmm....kid.

So, that comment was about the idiocy of medical "ethics".

As to Paul.


“A third of the Republicans will leave the party,” Paul continued. “This isn’t about, anymore, the Electoral College, this is about the future of the party, and whether you’re going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well.”-----

What Paul said.


More succinctly, "Because while I condemn insurrectionists, they're important to the party!"-----

What I said about what he said.


Try to keep up.
