    It’s not just happening in Florida, I’ve had surgery postponed twice due to staff shortages this year. I’m scheduled for surgery in three weeks but found out it is week to week due to a shortage of anesthesiologists. 

    Joe is a grifter for morons.

     

    at this point if that profile post something, its pure BS for the chuds that buy pay her to say their name or buy her trump bad merch.

    Well the impeachment trials were stacked with a jury of his political beneficiaries so he lucked out there. 

     

    The Mueller Report though fortunately operated outside that corrupt vacuum and resulted in the plenty of convictions, pleas and jail time. Felons include trumps closest advisors, attorney, and campaign manager.

    reads like blue anon .  yes, individuals did crimes and were found guilty in those investigations, he was not.  it's kind of simple like that. 

     

    some would argue the entire thing was theatre by his political opponents that had been trying to keep him out of office, before he was even elected.

     

    crossfire hurricane might have been a cool song, but it was also a conspiracy to spy on the opposition running for office.   based on what everyone in the room knew was political opposition research.  When did Mueller realize Sussman worked for Hillary?

    *gestures broadly at the right*


    Trans ideology is not political and only “targets children” in your mind.

    this is the largest LGBT group right now. just take a look at the page and say it has nothing to do with children.

    Because it does not seem to square with me that over 6 thousand years all the races could evolve from two people of the same race

    But yet almost every group on earth has a similar story. 

     

    Some people say the same about the 6th mass extinction event that started around 10K years ago.  Due to humans

    Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.  would love to see more members of both parties in this camp.  btw, this writer's interpretation of "Ask not what your country..." is a huge stretch.  It means what it means.

    fiscal conservative or even responsible budget is out the window with today's spending levels and pet projects.

     

    This JFK?

     

    The checkrein of taxes on private spending and productive incentives must be loosened if our economy is to perform at maximum efficiency. To that end--as I pledged last year--the 1964 budget incorporates a major program of tax reduction and reform, designed to help speed the economy toward full employment and a higher rate of growth with price stability.

     

    On this basis, after taking into account the revenue loss associated with my tax recommendations, total receipts from the public in fiscal year 1964 are estimated at $112.2 billion, total payments to the public at $122.5 billion, with a resulting excess of payments of $10.3 billion.

    again with the passive aggression. Say what you really wanted. Again, the other guy shared his theory and father figures werent in the graph/meme

    Its a fact that socio economic conditions are the main drivers.    

     

    and some love to just see the economic half of that and think they can fix the issue with money.  missing the social aspects by a mile.

  7. "But that's a lot of what that rainbow flag is all about, is the freedom from all of that". It does for a lot and did for many.  

     

    It was till it was hijacked by duel use PACs playing social justice charity.  Citizens united has morphed.  

     

    But like you said.  Similar exist on the right.  Just at a much smaller scale and without the backing of most fortune 500.

    Lots of reasons, depending on the potential crimes and jurisdictions.

     

    • Difficulty: White collar crimes are much harder to investigate and secure a conviction on than other types of crimes. There is often an intent component that may be difficult to prove and targets can often afford high power defense attorneys that make potential trials difficult. This is even more the case for Trump.
    • Obstruction: The Trump camp regularly and routinely obstructs investigations. Even now, they are paying for the attorneys for people being targeted by investigators in the hope of keeping them from flipping. There are allegations that at least one of the lawyers did not tell their ostensible client that a deal was offered as it would have the client flip on Trump
    • OLC memo: When he was president, the DoJ would not indict him. Mueller said he could exonerate Trump if he felt that Trump did not commit crimes, but did not do so. Instead, he listed out multiple instances of crimes Trump committed and indicated that the proper remedy was impeachment
    • Politics: The Dems stupidly rested their hopes on Mueller instead of doing the work themselves. Then they chickened out. When Garland stepped into office, he could have indicted Trump for the multiple instances of obstruction of justice that Mueller had outlined, but he declined to do so. Also, indicting a former president is a big deal. Losing a case here isn't the same as losing one against some random person. Law enforcement probably wants to be as close to 100% of a conviction as possible before indicting him. Even if they think there's an 80% chance they win, that might not be enough to warrant the risk.
    • Time: Some of these investigations take a very long time. The Mar-A-Lago documents case is very straightforward, but in order to properly prepare for trial, Jack Smith needs to interview every potential person who may have information, from the people close to Trump down to the janitorial staff and visitors to the building. That takes time. 

    He's been indicted in Manhattan. He will almost certainly be indicted in Georgia and he will also very likely be indicted by Jack Smith.

     

    Of course, people will always find a way to defend him saying it's political, but applying the publicly known facts of each case to the law and the only reason he *wouldn't* be indicted would be politics. Any one of us would have already been indicted if we had done what he did.

    Have you ever met a person who believes humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time? I understand there are people who believe everything but I doubt that 

    People think the earth is flat and secret cabals run things. 

     

    You never know anymore

    The fact that some Christians believe it? Yes 

    The fact that some of (insert name of any huge group) believes something definitely proves it's shared by the rest of the group. 

    Especially if it's a negative trait.  

     

    That's like the platinum rule or something

    They'd do that regardless to whether there were ongoing boycotts or not.

     

    It would just be broader...white nationalists, racists and transphobes tanked the economy.

     

    Because we say so and we're going to keep saying it over and over and over.

     

     

    You got a point.  

     

    Thats probably exactly how they will report on the scheduled reset

    The real fundamental problem with nuclear energy that does need to be solved  is the not in my backyard problem. 

    I think the OP had a point when they said years of Anti-Nuke narratives are ingrained into many.

     

     

    This list is eye opening. shows the scheduled builds of nuke plants across the world.

    Well that’s a problem too as far as right wingers extremists, blame casters and the recent flare up in antisemitism that we seem to be seeing. 
     

    But my point remains the guys that used to rebel against ‘the man’ now sound like an echo chamber of ‘the man’

     

    The moderates are effectively the resistance 

    Like old Tom Morello going from rage against the machine, to being the machines biggest cheerleader.
