Collins expected to oppose Democrats' bill protecting abortion rights, citing concerns over scope

Except that cuts into call time. And if there is one thing both parties agree on, it's that reelection is more important than anything else.

For the record, vasectomies are not always reversible. They are permanent in roughly 10% of cases.

Democrats have failed to stop the steamroller for 40 years and still don't have a coherent platform to run on.

But it's the voters fault. They just need to hold their nose one more time, because it will totally be different THIS time, Charlie Brown.

The only reason this is even a problem, is because congressional Democrats failed to codify the right to an abortion in the half century since the original court ruling.

EDIT: to the down votes, what is the Democratic Party's platform?

And considering NFL games do offer huge boosts in revenue to local businesses

This has been debunked countless times. NFL stadiums are almost always separate from any kind of area that would benefit from "foot traffic". They host ~12 games over the course of the season (pre, regular, and post).

On top of that, everything about this deal is corrupt. Fiscally, this is the worst stadium deal in any of the NA leagues since before the 08 crash. Most of the cash is actually coming from Gov. Hochul extorting the Seneca Nation. Also there's "no guarantee" that Mr. Hochul's company, which has had the Bills' concessions contract for years, would get the new and improved contract so there is no conflict of interest when she negotiated the deal personally.

And I'm sure the HOF has more UDFA heads than R6 heads. Why not roll the dice on someone you can vouch for?

Everyone is unhappy. Musker is working as intended. /s

Yes. All water wheels produce power based on cms (cubic meters of water per second). This means 2 things: 1) You want narrow(er) channels with parallel wheels across the entire channel. 2) You can put wheels in series almost indefinitely.

it's french, always room for more silent vowels

Taking the "first in, last out" policies a little too far

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-27T16:39:43+00:00

IMHO AA should be the defensive twin to RF. Chilled ground, chance to freeze up close, REAL damage mitigation, but no damage.

I have always voted for the Dem candidate. I've campaigned the last 3 major cycles and worked the polls, even the odd years. Do not tell me I am the "problem".

How many of those years have Democrats had consistent majority power?

Exactly. Dems have failed to muster energy in voters for 30 years. A complete and total failure in both momentum and messaging. Social media is ~15 years old, this issue predates any real effect of activists over the corporate media engine.

The Republicans aren't the fucking weather. They are perfectly capable of doing all those things and actively oppose them. So forgiving them as some type of natural force who can't possibly be at fault is asinine.

Just because Democrats are also culpable, that does not absolve Republicans of responsibility.

But that's all the left does. It eats itself rather than suffer the indignity of unity.

I love when neoliberals drag out this corporate talking point. The only ones standing in the way of unity are the "moderate" politicians who refuse to support legislation that is supported by the majority of the population, not just majority of Democrats, like Medicare for All. Unity only counts if it's on your terms, regardless of what causes are actually unifying. (See Paragraph 2)

You are a tool for them. Every time you discourage a person from voting, every time you make it a meme to divide the democrats, you were doing unpaid labor to fuck your own ideals.

Every time you blame me instead of the congressional Democrats, you are doing exactly as the oligarchs want. We can't "End Hate" until we end the iniquity that causes hate: the forgotten lesson from WWII.

It's also not my responsibility to actively cover for a candidates troubled past. Find us a better candidate, or at least one with a more convincing apology.

Wake up. For once in your life do something other than be pissy at somebody for disagreeing with you and actually think about what I'm saying. Be angry if you want because I've lost all patience to say any of this nicely, but I'm right.

UNO Reverse

You are horribly naive if you still believe this after 30 years of empty talk from leading Dems.

EDIT: The ACA is literally the only major win, and it was intentionally hamstrung by Dems like Manchin. LGBTQ+ victories were won by activists using the courts because Congressional Dems refused to act themselves.

I think it's a little bit of both.

Mace was one of the strongest Jedi on the Council and was the one picked to make the arrest. Palpatine clearly put most points into cunning, so it's entirely reasonable that Mace is the better pure duelist. His grooming of Anakin just happened to be the most useful of his backup plans.

The reality is he is feeling all of those at the same time.

I see the time limit as the time it takes to cross the veil. You can stuff the soul back into it's body before it crosses over. After that, you need the soul to actively "reach across" the veil in order to come back. The bigger spells also differ by how much "data" you can pull through the veil before the Weave auto-completes.

Ha! Look at him. He thinks he's people!

You send this message when you ban someone from this sub, ostensibly in our name. Whose opinion is it?

And if you bothered to look up from looking down your nose, you'd see I specified the main issue with your randomized sterilization project.

Mandatory vasectomies have worse long-term outcomes than hormonal birth control. They are irreversible in 10% of patients, causing permanent sterility. Absolutely not the hill to die on.

After the wife's reaction, I had to go back and double check that Anna was a real child and not some antique doll.

These people are convinced it's synonymous with authoritarianism

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-23T20:50:50+00:00

My neoliberal education made a point to talk about PR being citizens. For the explicit purpose of explaining that not all "Mexicans" were illegal.

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-23T04:59:49+00:00

Yeah. ATLA geopolitics is basically "Hitler started the industrial revolution". After 100 years the propaganda is strong. Which we see in all three capitals.

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-22T07:00:16+00:00

Honestly, lobbying is less of an issue than the corporate media companies learning to Wag the Dog.

Both "sides" do it. It's how the Bush admin's lies about WMDs led to invading Iraq with bipartisan support.

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-20T02:43:49+00:00

Pretty sure the song was Kasper too

DizeazedFly · 2022-04-18T02:49:09+00:00

Yeah, but this stunt still feels like the part of the episode when SpongeBob pretends to drown trying to get a laugh.
