  1. Whatever. There are stronger arguments that can me made to win over more support from moderates, and even conservatives. I'm not even a pro-life (statutorily), by the way.
  2. When you have rabid leftists simply yelling "my body, my choice!", a lot of people are going to tune out. That's all I'm saying.
  3. if the Democrats want to promote abortion, this is the way to do it. Stop with the whole "my body, my choice" argument, as it falls on deaf ears. Most mid to late term abortions are done for the same reasons as Peters gives here - and you just have to feel sorry for the guy (and his former wife, of course).
  4. I looked and there is a Hooker running for a family judge position. Unopposed. Man, I should have run against her with a campaign slogan of "Do you really want a HOOKER to be your family judge? Vote mclumber on November 3rd!"
  5. Started reviewing my ballot. Holy shit - there are 61 Judge positions on the ballot in my area of Nevada. Not 61 judges running, but 61 positions that need to be filled. This just cements my opinion that judicial positions shouldn't be elected by the people.
  6. They are (mostly) GWB era Republicans, so I guess so? They do seem to understand that the path the GOP is going down right now is increasingly dominated by a shrinking white population, and that the rhetoric that Trump espouses will not bring new demographics into the fold.
  7. i hope no one is surprised that most of these GOP operatives who are supporting Biden right now will immediately oppose him and his policies as soon as he is sworn in. They are still Republicans, after all. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend...
  8. My wife watching the news on Florida rally: "Trying to find someone in the crowd wearing a mask is like a game of Where's Waldo."
  9. We should get our ballots in the mail this week. It will be my wife's first time voting, which is super cool.
  10. Leahy speaking now. He's not being very persuasive. I think it's good to point out these people who may lose coverage if the ACA is overturned, but Leahy is the wrong person to tell their story.
  11. Mushmouth Grassley couldn't talk very well this morning for the ACB hearing.
  12. What's great is seeing all of these vulnerable GOP Senators squirm when asked if they support Donald Trump.
  13. We were having a civil debate at the end of work today. One of the guys I work with is all about herd immunity and isolating the old and sick. In response, another coworker said, "Yeah, but what happens when you (not caring about COVID) bring it home to your grandparents or relative with cancer? Aren't you worried that you are going to create a lot of orphans?" "There are a lot of orphans already" He responded. "I think we as society know how to take care of orphans."
  14. I think a good compromise would be the sitting members of SCOTUS nominate a new member when a vacancy occurs, and the Senate performs their usual advise and consent function as outlined in the Constitution. A caveat would be that the retiring/dying/whatever judge cannot nominate their own replacement, just the remaining judges.
  15. Biden will win, probably with a comfortable EV margin too. BUT Trump will try everything after the election sow doubt, and ultimately either have rogue electors cast ballots for him, or have the Supreme Court try to decide the election in his favor.
  16. Growing up, I had a particular kind of spaghetti sauce: 1 can of tomato paste 1 can of tomato sauce 1 pound of mild cheddar Melt the cheese in boiling water, add the tomato paste and sauce, sir until blended. Then add in chopped up bacon or hamburger. Spread on top of regular spaghetti noodles. My mom says she got the recipe from a girl from Wisconsin when she was in the army in the 70's. I didn't really have "normal" spaghetti until I was a grown up.
  17. To add, America has continued to use less and less coal. This isn't so much a Trump accomplishment (in fact, he's pushed for beautiful coal for years now) but it did happen under his presidency.
