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.

I made quite a few.

Not here, you haven't. Unsupported pronouncements are not arguments.

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.

No wonder my no1 radio host says that man-made CO2  'climate change/global warming' is a hoax.
"The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind" he actually said.

Drink a glass of water with .01 % arsenic and get back to us. Or rather, have your next of kin tell your #1 idiot that his math may not quite resolve the point.

Arsenic is not tree and plant food, without which they would die.
CO2 is.

What happens if there is too much CO2? They also die. It is a balance, like light and dark in the Force. Mankind is fucking that balance.

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.

Your reading skills need some work.

Not in your case.

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.

We all already are aware of what high esteem you hold for  yourself.
The fact you cannot counter my arguments is obvious.

Odds and Ends


Hudson Yards,  an expansive real estate development is about to open in Manhattan. Seven floors of retail are occupied by Fendi, Dior, Neiman Marcus and other high-end shops. Major corporations, including WarnerMedia and L’Oreal USA, will have their headquarters there. In the luxury residential buildings, one-bedroom apartments will rent for at least $5,200 a month — or you can buy a two-floor penthouse condo for $32 million.
All thanks to the help of taxpayers to the tune of $ 6 Billion dollars, doubt the amount promised Amazon.
Where is AOC on this one?  Crickets

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission was mulling a second complaint against the Cake artist who won a SCOTUS case that his religious beliefs were ignored in refusing to design a cake for a same-sex marriage, one of the last opinions of Anthony Kennedy.
This second case was on his refusal to create a cake for a “transition ceremony” for a lawyer who was changing his gender identity to female. This lawyer had deliberately placed his cake order after the original case was well-known, for the express purpose of bringing further litigation that would have ruined the baker’s business.

Turns out  a transcript from a commission meeting less than three weeks after Kennedy’s ruling shows the Commissioners  still have a clear animus against Phillips and other Christians, whose religion they still find “despicable."

This month the second complaint was dismissed by the Commission.
They are religious bigots but not stupid.

Hudson Yards was originally where a ballpark was going to be built - after that got blocked, this multi-use facility was built instead. It started (and its tax breaks started) 10 years ago. Ocasio Cortez was 19 years old, roughly, and a college student in Boston. Pretty good chance that she had no awareness of those tax breaks at the time. The bulk of them are older, not newer, as I understand it.

As for the decision to not accuse the baker, I think it was a good call, given the direction they were given from the bench in the last case.

Still waiting.

So-called Argument #1: "It is unconstitutional."

So-called Argument #2: It "is ... a ... campaign tactic."

So-called Argument #3: "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."

None of those are arguments. They are unsupported opinions. You contradicted the first one, yourself. There is no substance to the second. You provide no evidence for how it is any of the things you claim in the third. Inflamed rhetoric, but no substance.

I made quite a few.

Still waiting for you to show us one point you made.

House passes historic reform legislation but media is focused on Omar. Meanwhile shit is getting done so the narrative is predictably “Dems in disarray!”

Of course this bill won’t pass the Senate

Because it is unconstitutional.

Just so you know.

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.

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.
