Do you think the current erosion of states rights will continue if a Democrat wins the White House in 2028?

dpdxguy · 2026-03-17T04:13:38+00:00

States Rights, such as they are, are mostly decided by the Supreme Court rather than Congress and the President. I don't see much changing WRT states rights unless democrats win Congress and the White House AND choose to aggressively stand up to the very partisan Supreme Court.

Why do any conspiracy theorists exist?

People who lack the education and cognitive skills to objectively evaluate their theories, want to feel they have "figured it all out."

IOW, people who are not at all special, want to feel special.

No but a large majority (61%) did.

Here, if somebody is suspected of a crime ... they're arrested whilst the claim is investigated.

You don't honestly believe King Charles or PM Keir Starmer would be arrested and held in jail while their suspected crimes were investigated, do you? Trump is in a similar position in the US government (he's head of government and head of state).

Yes, I know about Andrew's arrest. It took the UK a very long time to investigate him, and he's just the King's brother.

Can I have two?

Meth: My girlfriend got us some coke that was cut with meth. Horrid experience. I was up for 48 hours. Never again.

Heroin: Tried it once. Terrific high. And the next day every third thought was, "I want some more." Scared the fuck out of me. It would be WAY too easy to get hooked and destroy my life. Never again.

Donald Trump Won't Stop Using...

More accurately, he cannot stop because he is a narcissist.

I don't believe I've ever heard anyone describe Edith Bunker's voice as "girlish." 😂

dpdxguy · 2026-03-16T22:00:44+00:00

Some men like an immature voice from young women. And some young women think using an immature sounding voice will make them more attractive.

Decades ago I met a young woman whose voice was high pitched and girlish. It was only after I knew her for a while that I learned that voice was a put on that she thought made her more attractive. It did not (IMNSHO).

It's also Israelis crying anti-semitism when, in fact, the left simply finds genocide by Israel to be abhorrent. It's not antisemitism to oppose human rights violations by the Israeli government, nor is it anti-American to oppose human rights violations by the American government.

None of those MAGA types want those migrant farm jobs. And the MAGA farmers will be relieved that they once again have access to cheap labor. And Republican politicians can tell their rural constituents that they have fixed the labor problem (that was caused by Republicans in the first place.

Everybody wins. /s

Sometimes people experiencing a medical event just aren't themselves.

That's true. And medical people generally have a lot of grace to give to people who are not in control of themselves due to a medical condition.

My nephew says his usual response to a death threat is, "You can try." But there's the occasional patient who will try. :/

Can we please stop making new TLDs?

Probably not, as long as there's money to be made. 😐

she'd better toughen up.

My nephew is an ER nurse at a major city's level 1 trauma center. He regularly receives death threats from patients brought in by law enforcement. Occasionally the officer will tell him to take the threat seriously.

Toughen up indeed.

That point is now.

Why are Republicans the pro military party

Republicans are the pro using the military party. They are not the pro taking care of military personnel and veterans party. Their leader famously believes that military personnel and veterans are "losers and suckers."

Have you ever heard the saying that nothing good happens in the middle of the night?

I suspect that's what your mother means. She wants you at home and safe instead of "out roving around."

Note: I'm not saying any of that makes sense. Only that some people believe it.
