I do believe it will come up. Yes. If conservatives gain control of three branches. They will vote to drop the filibuster and pass that law. They have before with judges. They're not against changing the rules if it benefits their objectives.

I was gone for nearly a month and you all needed to keep yourselves revved up by complaining about us to each other. I wonder if you all have the courage to think about and answer the questions below. Are we your enemies? Because it seems like the energy you're bringing here. Like you've vanquished a hated foe and celebrating it. You haven't. You won't. You can't. I hope you understand that. You will never win. Just explain your positions without being accidentally or purposefully dishonest(if you don't know the difference, that's fine). If you get frustrated or upset, take a breath. Is it validating, to you all, by treating people that disagree with you in the way you have on this board? If so, why do you think that is? If you don't want to write a response, I get it. It's difficult to introspect and harder to make it public. If you shrug this off as babble, I will know you don't care and that will tell me all I need to know and how interested you really are in arguing, hating, and dehumanizing your enemy. Which is toxic and dangerous. Versus trying to change someone's mind.

Should contraception remain available and legal for all persons? Why or why not?

What is 114-2-3?

109 replies? You all really missed us. Yelling at clouds is a popular thread.

Do you have any documentation or no? Because I've seen and read a few things that say its pretty standard language on the warrant. Do you agree? Should 45 be treated differently when suspected of breaking the law? Why or why not?

I'd really like to change the dynamic please. So before we devolve into name calling or whatever can you just let the person I was asking the questions to, answer the questions? If you have issues with what I am asking then just state the issues. If you have something constructive or relevant to say, then fine. We can all agree that your response could've been better put in a dm, if it was genuine. I'm guessing it wasn't, am I wrong?

You're making a few broad assertions. I don't want to nitpick things so much the thread is lost. 'Every media outlet', 'All federal agencies' That is a lot of ground to cover. Can you be more specific about which agency/agencies and how they are being weaponized? Start with one or two so we don't get buried. Also, can you offer non-right wing supporting media outlets and the articles(not opinion pieces) that would support your statement?

Any documentation to corroborate this assertion?

Such as?

(shaking head) Just seems like you're looking at this from one quite hawk-ish perspective. Like we did after 9.11. 'Kill everyone that was or may have been involved. With us or against us.' That's not how the world works anymore. It can't be.

What is the current inflation rate? I have it at 3.5%, down considerably from previous years. Also, inflation isn't like putting a hammer to a nail. What influences inflation are things that happen, sometimes years before the rate actually spikes. You still have not made your point or provided evidence to support an opinion. Just saying two things, one of which is open to interpretation, does not a point make.

Nice edit.

And starting this all over again, rather than trying to find a lasting peace, is ok with you? Seems similar to the climate issue. People who aren't going to live to see the effects are fighting every effort to try to address possible issues.

I'll probably regret asking but what does me asking your opinion(that you offered to tell) about abortion have anything to do with trans rights? What is your stance on abortion being available to pregnant persons? was the question that you dodged. I know its reflex now. But I'll give you another chance since you brought up your affinity for women's rights.

Q: How have occupying forces faired in conflict these last 100 years or so? A: Not well. England v India(more than 100 but still), Japan vs China, Germany vs France/most of Europe(twice), Vietnam vs France/USA, Afghanistan vs Russia/USA, Iran vs USA. Missions accomplished? Nope. Israel is going to come out of this looking like a bully and with less support from their dwindling number of 'allies'. Netty is going to go to jail unless they pull a Bollsinaro and flee the country.

Women's rights. Do tell?

We'll see. - Zen Master

A bias opinion from a bias person to defend a bias position that you can't really support, otherwise.

'I don't have a bias I just want them punished/killed for something they had nothing to do with.'

Trying to offer a differing opinion of why they did what they did. Is, in fact, defending them. Belt buckles said 'Gott mit uns'. May have disliked a certain sect of religion(which is another defense you're offering) but used religion to convince people to care out a horrific vision.

and your thoughts on abortion?

Noble effort. Can't be reasoned out of something they didn't reason themselves into. I imagine their delusion runs pretty deep.
