I am reminded of an old saying in politics: When the law is on your side, pound the law. When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If neither the facts or law are on your side, pound the table.

Back to topic:  it is amazing what is crawling out of the political woodwork lately.  And also what happens in courtrooms where we usually hope for an impartial person on the bench...

Why didn't I anticipate this?! It seems so obvious in retrospect:

"We met the mandate. Now let's (use pseudoscience to) undo the vaccination!"

You know a lot of your links just get passed over, right?

Kid, I expect you to pass over most of my links. You really want to avoid seeing stuff like this. Got that long ago.

But I think you will find that you are in the minority in that regard. Perhaps not a tiny minority, but nonetheless, more than half read more than half.

OTOH, it sure makes your plea that I stay ring more than a bit hollow!

LOL.

There are extra stupidly shitty republicans as well. The shittiest ones are the ones gaining ground inside the GOP party-cult,

That you cannot tell that he expressed an opinion is... telling.

He disapproves of what the judge did and believes it demonstrates that this judge is not impartial and that that is inappropriate.

Try re-reading his intro to the link to see if you can pick up on it. He did not mean to be subtle, Kid.

The best outcome would be to permanently shut the whole supply chain down that lead to this unstable, violent, sick, and dangerous individual having a weapon of war in the first place.

Not an opinion

Sure did identify their slant though.

[kidcarter8]

Usually a post would say something none of us already know - well, the best ones anyway

Already knew their Rittenhouse slant.  Not that they have ever explained it in so many words.

[FlyingVProd]

In the USA we are all allowed to own guns, and it is your right and your responsibility to protect your own life, and the lives of your family, and loved ones, and others.

And for instance, when I was a kid we lived 60 miles outside of Battle Mountain, Nevada, when my parents attempted to start a cattle ranch like Bonanza, the nearest police station was 60 miles away so we had to own guns and protect ourselves. My father taught me how to shoot a gun when I was 4 years old.

It is not up to a soldier to protect you, and it is not up to the police to protect you, it is up to you to own a gun and to protect yourself and your family. Especially if you live way out in a rural area in the USA.

Salute,

Tony V.

Tony

You are fortunate that you didnt accidentally, inadvertently killed an innocent.

That fraction of society - the innocents lost because we can own guns - are the political pawns of those who despise the right wing.  So sadly so - as their lives should mean so much more.

And even in their minisculity they should be honored

Yes, an opinion. Clear as day to most of us.

no.

They are the collateral damage of a society that has a gun violence problem that the right wing promotes with its policies, money, and influence.

As Josh notes,  I offered fairly unsubtle clues.   I think judge should be removed for bias.   Especially the prejudicial language he allows to be applied to those who were shot.   The jury is taking all this in,  remember.

Thanks for that surreal and fascinating link,  Josh. 

The ingredients in the bath are mostly not harmful, although the supposed benefits attached to them are entirely fictional. Baking soda and epsom salts, she falsely claims, will provide a radiation detox to remove radiation Madej falsely believes is activated by the vaccine.
