Some good news out of a South Carolina committee:

The "pro-life" lobbyist tried to argue that women were unfit to be legislators and therefore their picture should not be hung.

His testimony got shut down after 3 minutes.

Profit incentives in prisons seems to lead towards a system akin to slavery.

Sure. Just like economic growth is akin to cancer.

Very good child. You are learning.

Here’s one more for you;

Reganomics is voodoo economics. Top marginal income tax rates are less than half of what they should be in a healthy economy.

Unbridled growth.

And yes, exactly.

Ah, the "compassion" of conservatives.

Got any more children to tear away from their families, while refusing to keep track of them?

Got any more poor folks you can deny food stamps to?

Any more Trans folks you can kick out of the military?

Any more folks you can poison with your mercury and your coal sludge?

Any more people you can have kicked out of jobs or housing?

SUCH compassion I have never seen.

It’s probably because he’s hired the best people...

There can't be continual growth .one day countries will have to stop massive immigration, stop construction of new towers for housing, put up the 'House full' sign...and live a normal life.

As for that struggle, nearly everything you espouse works directly against it. You embody man’s inhumanity to man and especially to woman. I’m glad you are half way around the world trapped in your burning shithole.

It was burning Serena off the court today.
She led 5-1 in the 3rd set...only one more game to win the match...but I could see she was never going to get there...so hot was the sun and so high the humidity.
The middle of summer in Australia...no time to be playing tennis in the middle of the day.
UV rays, sunburn, searing heat..."East Coast heatwave".
Spectators must be getting fried every day too.
I was puffing and panting just hanging out the washing at about 11am...that hot sun and humidity are 'murder'.
They should close the roof during in the day.

Point by point she was being sapped of energy, ..rolled her left ankle, could hardly walk at the end...let alone run.
She kept hitting the ball into the net, no strength left to even hit the ball over the net.

IMO, she'd be better off wearing a white cotton dress than the dark green lycra playsuit she's been wearing all tournament.
Wouldn't surprise me if she retired soon...she doesn't need to be putting herself thru that kind of torture.

Woman/women?
What like the lying women falsely accusing men of rape etc?
Like those lying women in colleges who falsely accuse men of raping etc them? [50% of accusers alleged by the cops to be lying...for revenge, to get an alibi, and seeking attention]?

The "All men are bastards" women?
The "toxic masculinity" women?

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/war-on-masculinity-is-disarming-our-society-from-the-inside/news-story/bf8e34088964e2fd1ec471cdade39768

Included in the Gillette backlash was a flood of images on social media showing brave, competent men doing heroic things: firefighters carrying women and children safely out of a burning house, a soldier running into gunfire to rescue a small girl, the off-duty British SAS trooper in Nairobi last week who saved dozens of lives after storming the building single-handedly.

How’s that for toxic masculinity.

Grown men can defend themselves, but the real victims of the war on masculinity are little boys being raised in a soup of negative messages telling them their intrinsic nature is diseased. Their rowdiness, adventurousness and biological inability to behave like girls is deemed a pathology.

In primary school they are banned from playing rough and tumble games and then doped up with attention deficit drugs.

As they get older, their interest in the opposite sex is damned as “rape culture”.

Laying the groundwork for an escalation of hostilities, the American Psychological Association last week issued an extraordinary call to arms, declaring “traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful”.

In its “Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Boys and Men”, the APA claimed “traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful”.

Maybe this explains the erratic behavior of Giuliani:

Some of Trump’s allies have suggested that Giuliani be barred from evening interviews because of concerns that he was going on TV after drinking, according to three Republicans close to the White House.

Giuliani has previously insisted he does not have an issue with drinking, denying to Politico last May that it affected his interviews. He added: “I may have a drink for dinner. I like to drink with cigars.”

This is good Rudy weirdness (and his penchant for immediately contradicting himself):

“I am afraid it will be on my gravestone. ‘Rudy Giuliani: He lied for Trump.’ Somehow, I don’t think that will be it,” Giuliani told The New Yorker. “But, if it is, so what do I care? I’ll be dead. I figure I can explain it to St. Peter.”
