Read up on climate change Bambu.

Don’t live the rest of your life chasing some Red’s squirrels.

The Black guy...who didn't really do that much wrong, no victim/s as such, 'gets' 60+ years [in reality never to see freedom/the horizon again]...while the non-Black guy politcians get 4 years for tax and bank fraud etc etc etc.
Justice American style. The system needs a serious overhaul.

Climate change;

The climate is always changing, Ice Ages come and go.
The planet heats up, the planet cools, all by itself.
One used to be able to walk from Australia to India, can't do that anymore, the seas get in the way.

Uluru once sat at the bottom of the sea.

Fact: The rock was created over some 600 million years, and the Aborigines have been in the area for the last 10,000 years. It originally sat at the bottom of a sea,but today stands 348m above ground. One of the most startling Uluru facts however, is that some 2.5kms of its bulk is underground.

McConnell has expressed his fervent opposition to even relatively uncontroversial sections of the bill, such as making Election Day a federal holiday in order to give people more time to vote. McConnell called this a “power grab” for Democrats, a striking admission that Republicans do better when fewer people vote.   

Indeed. 

Can't wait to hear our constitutional scholar explain how HR 1 violates the Constitution.

Expect irrelevant cut/pastes soon!

It is not unconstitutional to pass stupid laws.

Once again, the poster who accuses others of ducking substantive argument... ducks substantive argument. Come on, Red. It is not that hard, the ACLU has called out parts of it. Of course, the purported unconstitutionality of some parts of the bill is not actually an argument against taking up the bill. The normal legislative process would.allow.for the Senate to amend the bill to remove the offending items and send the bill either back to the house or a conference committee. An isolated provision is not an argument against taking up the bill. It is an argument against having to take a stand.

H.R.1 is nothing more than a 2020 Campaign tactic by democrats. It is a proverbial political squirrel. McConnell could force the democrats to own it with a vote but it would only put off other legislative action on matters people actually care about.

Which is precisely why you condemned each of the 4537 (roughly) votes the Repos staged to overturn the ACA.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

Yes, white collar crime is often committed by wealthy people and so is viewed as less serious than other crimes by the type of people who get lifetime judicial appointments, especially those with appointments from presidents like Ronald Reagan.

Oh.  You disagreed with the sentence.

Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%. Gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, and ozone are trace gases that account for about a tenth of one percent of the atmosphere.

If the democrats were so concerned “For The People” they would have tried HR 1 when they controlled Washington. Now they have a better plan. They are all for this mishmash knowing it has no chance of becoming law.  And why would it? It’s isnothing more than the political rape of Federalism, denial of Free Speech, and a power grab allowing the federal government to politicize elections.

I happen to agree with a small part of this - there were things that could and should have been done.

But that does not make this worthwhile and you have made no arguments that would give anybody reason to think it is not worthwhile.

Just denial and obfuscation.

Not in America, but:

Why can't there be private 'membership by invitation only' gentlemen's clubs in the Christian West today??

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/burnside-forced-to-quit-exclusive-mens-only-club/ar-BBUyBAr?li=AAgfYrC&OCID=AVRES000

High-profile barrister and Greens candidate Julian Burnside has been forced to terminate his 40-year membership of an exclusive men's club under the pressure of an imminent election.
On Friday Mr Burnside revealed during a Sky News interview that he belonged to the Savage Club, an invitation-only gentlemen's club in Melbourne where "literary men" can bond over fine wines and a shared penchant for "the bohemian spirit".

#####

Said men should be able to have that club if they want to.




By Saturday, following an online backlash, the refugee advocate and now Greens candidate for Kooyong promised to resign the membership, arguing same-sex only clubs were "an anachronism" and "should be made a thing of the past".

The Savage Club, opened in Melbourne in 1894, is associated with the gentleman's club of the same name founded in London in 1857.
According to its website: "Ladies guests are welcome at the club at many functions and are always welcome at the Club after 4.30pm on weekdays."

#####

Same-sex clubs would no doubt include...ladies bowling clubs, ladies tennis clubs, ladies croquet clubs, ladies netball clubs, ladies basketball clubs, ladies social clubs etc..all with boards most likely.

Men should be demanding to be members and make up 50% of all the boards.
That is only fair.

That is correct. In my case my reading skills do not need work. Yours probably need to go back to seeing Dick run. See Dick. See Dick run.  Run Dick, run. Run away from substantive arguments.
