People can open Baskin Robbins ice cream shops in order to raise money to develop areas such as Battle Mountain, Nevada.

You can sell sundaes in Ohio and globally in order to build housing in Nevada, etc.

You could do the same to help orphans in Mexico, etc, you can sell ice cream in Spain to help orphans in Mexico, etc.

They did.  It just ran on PBS.  Two segments.  His son was a traitor.  Spoil alert!

Ben was a great man, and long live France, I just wish we could have returned the favor and saved the King of France from the guillotine.

 Is there a reason this font size and others you post are so big?

It's a JPEG file.  Fonts in the image are whatever size they are.  And for those of us on tablets or smartphones, that scale is easy on the old eyeballs.

The governor of Mississippi refuses to rule out banning contraception, noting that is not the current focus.

Senator Braun (R-IN) thinks interracial marriage should be illegal.

https://archive.ph/s0qVr (NYT article)

Justices Thomas and Alito question same-sex marriage; they "appeared to urge the court on Monday to reconsider the ruling, which they said had invented a right with no basis in the text of the Constitution."

These and many others are under siege at the federal level, with proposals to make them state-by-state.

But since not reported by the Right Wing Faux Outrage Machine Red does not know these currents exist. If you do not think someone like DeSantis would push to ban Gay marriage if he thought it would help him in 2024 you are an idiot.

I think you may very well find out.   Trump the Kingmaker is being seen increasingly as "not worth the trouble" by his party leaders.  Doesnt mean he cant run - but they may have a way of dissuading him and ushering in Ron and a couple others with  acceptable platforms.

Really? You can not be serious.
A minority opinion by two Justices over a 7 year old SCOTUS decision enabling same-sex marriage will be re-litigated  if ROE falls.?
You and Josh must live in constant fear of religion.
The rest of America does not. And politicians, especially DeSantis, are not going to waste time and money on issues that are popular with voters.
Even before Oberkfell same sex marriage had crossed the 50 per cent approval mark.
By 2020 it was over 70 per cent and had acceptance steadily increasing to 60% and 55% by Catholics and  Republicans.
Unlike Abortion there are no levels of restrictions to same sex marriage, it either is allowed or it is not.
Nothing about the Thomas / Alito stated views offer a pathway to revisiting Oberkfell.
And Americans are not about to reject  same sex marriage.  It has worked very well.

Just fuckin ask him.

Oh, yes.

Trust Mr. "They're Nazis" Putin to be honest.

Mr. "It used to be ours, so I want it back" Putin is reliably honest.

"Just fuckin ask him."

He may be less dishonest than Donald Trump, but it doesn't make him honest or reliable.

This and the fact that it is not worth my time to shrink the image size down before posting it.

I have tried all the bulletin board techniques for posting a size-controlled image and none of them has solved the problem.

I've been mocked by Ward about it, but he was (of course) silent when asked how he thought I should do it, which leads me to think that as usual he has no idea, but just likes to mock.

If, Kid, you know how I can post them without personally resizing them, but having them be smaller, I would be open to hearing it.
