I was all ready for outrage, but I think maybe they got this one right. Equality under the law should mean that the top of a pyramid is treated the same as the bottom.

It looks like a mafia. Thumb your nose at a subpoena? Legislators will come to your aid.

If we have a world war, would they tell us?

Regardless of how you may feel about LGBT folks, I find the idea of witholding medical care to transgender people curious in light of the fact the U.S. still does not have single-payer healthcare or Medicare for All. There does appear an element of scapegoatism in these candidates within a larger pattern of rationing of healthcare to everyone who is not wealthy.

…“It’s very difficult to get evidence to show abuse of children."

Ain’t that the truth.

When it first began, Trump underestimated COVID and spun it as under control.

You mean this article?

I sure don’t want U.S. weapons going to genocide an entire people, but I also doubt Netanyahu’s assertion.

“There’s a built-in assumption that there’s nothing at all weird about viewing the US as sort of an open field for Israel to operate in, that there are no limitations,” said Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

Does the U.S. citizen get “No taxation without representation”, or does Israel get “representation without taxation”?

Abrahamism sure has a stranglehold on the U.S.

Reminds me of, “Accuse the opposition of that of which you are guilty.”

During the drug war, the authorities told us that cannabis affected the testes. In that same time period, health authorities were telling us to eat low-fat high-carb diet to combat high cholesterol.

Remember “Build that wall” and “make Mexico pay for it”?

I wish the cost of internet access decreased to match decreased available content. Internet shrinkinflation?

Globally, there are at least two relevant definitions in play per Wikipedia:

A child (pl. children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty,[1][2] or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty.[3] It may also refer to an unborn human being.[4][5] In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a person younger than the local age of majority (there are exceptions like, for example, the consume and purchase of alcoholic beverage even after said age of majority[6]), regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults.[1][7][8]

It seems reasonable to request clarification as to which definition of child is being used.

How does Louisiana feel about beating the hell out of kids? I wondered so searched and results were primarily about kids being killed by beating. Not quite what I wanted, another search said Lousisana was rankied 49 in child well being. Yeah, that’s a little closer, but still not what I wanted. Per the Bible, you’re supposed to strike a kid with a rod to save their souls from sheol (which is another word for hell). Search says it’s Proverbs 23:14, though I’m not gonna look, there are several different variants. My question is, since the bible actually says to beat the hell out of kids, has Lousiana immunized parents who do so? Or is this just more religious BS? Shove the 10 commandments down kids throats but still jail parents who beat the sheol out of kids? Legal contradictions.

It seems it’s illegal to beat the hell out of kids, but that’s pretty much what the bible tells parents to do. Posting the 10 commandments is some kind of police state entrapment.

It seems the U.S. isn’t the only country with wealth worship.

“The director there wasn’t nice at all to the people who were staying at the shelter,” she says. “To tell you the truth, she was really arrogant with me. And a bunch of us said, look we can’t stay here anymore. And that was when we heard about the occupation.”

…

In numerous interviews with shelter residents, directors and volunteers, Truthout found that class differences underlined the realities at many shelters. Most of the shelter directors and volunteers are middle to upper class. Most of the residents are working class and poor, and now have lost everything to the floods.
