Redward does seem to be sticking with the Baskerville rule.   A lot of democrats are figuring out that Barrett is so clean she squeaks when she walks,  and will not pursue the "cult" thing.   She can't be borked,  so they'll have to grit their teeth and ask genuine questions on legal issues.   Maybe somewhere along the way,  Mitt will remember where he put his vertebrae,  and possibly Cory Gardner will realize how thin the ice is with his moderate base.  I think it's still possible we could be surprised.

Is DeSantis a virologist or epidemiologist?   If not,  I might go find one to get a second opinion.   

Incidentally, many frats and sororities have a thing in their charter about community service and helping with good causes.   I'd say not pouring gas on a wildfire epidemic is probably a good cause.

Heh.   I said possible,  not probable.   Western states are not as strongly pro-life as southern ones.

I wonder if the $70,000 that Trump spent on his haircuts includes tip?

Red-what would you tip on $70,000 in bad haircuts?

That was Trump doing his best Al Sharpton!

Or you could leave. Hack.
Why?
So you could you post with like-minded educators more willing to indulge your idiocy.
Okay you can’t debate the issues I raised.
You called the Democrats hypocrites. I called the Republicans hypocrites. Let's call it a draw and you can post elsewhere.
LOL!

Ward has granted your point that they are hypocrites.

As it happens, they pride themselves on their abilities to deceive folks who believe in integrity and feel shame when they go against it.

Or as Ward would say, "LOL!"
I could try to slink to the gutter and battle you there but you are much more experienced down there.
Fuck you, lying partisan cocksucker.

Kid thinks Trump is Jed Bartlett. He doesn't realize Trump is Frank Underwood.

I'd stay away from ACB's religious practices.

I'd ask her if Trump asked her for to take a loyalty oath,

whether she thinks the Amerian people have a right to know how a billionaire President pays less than taxes than a kid flipping burgers at McDonalds,

whether his financial records should be made public or kept a secret

What has changed her mind since Scalia-Garland about the dangers of flipping the court idealogical structure.

Could she change her mind in the future

what are the dangers of mail-in voting as she sees it.

What's your thoughts of shit-canning the USPS to make it harder for people to vote by mail

Does a pandemic which is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans change the risks-rewards of letting the American public vote in a safer manner vs a miniscule amount of potentially fraudulent votes

Is ruining health insurance for tens of millions of Americans, and putting americans at risk in the midst of a pandemic because of a possible imperfection, really justice well served.

are you a fucking opportunistic political hack willing to sell you soul to the devil just to wear a fucking robe

shit like that

Lock Him Up? How President Trump’s Tax Returns Could Put Him In Prison

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/2020/09/28/lock-him-up-how-president-trumps-tax-returns-could-put-him-in-prison/#1a40ee166ca8

He could serve his second term in the can. White house west.

Jail for Trump is watching Biden try to run this nation.

But my guess is Donald Sr would still be in the public eye plenty.

He said if he lost he would never talk to us again.

You mean that was a lie, too?

I'm devastated.

So there seem to be some benefits to having short expected life spans and half your population under 25...

One thing the article doesn't mention is the limited foreign travel.  That many African countries just aren't much plugged into the world economy.  So the virus didn't reach them until after much of Europe and Asia was shut down.

Not mentioned in the article are the protocols developed to fight the Ebola outbreak.

Police lie.

So do prosecutors.

Sheriff and former county DA arrested in the case of Javier Ambler who died during his arrest.

Wait.

So young people ARENT as susceptible and heavier travelling nation's like the US are more?

Thanks for clearing this up.

Experience fighting the Ebola epidemic and fewer people standing on their “rights” to infect others.
