Both sides are just rattling sabres. This debt ceiling scenario is so often used by both parties that many do not take it seriously.
But, we will see...

If you could show to the assistant DA or court what it was that made you feel that he's a threat to your daughter.
The fact that he's brandishing the #1 most popular weapon of school mass shooters around children is good enough for me. Shoot the fucking psycho killer before he murders the children.
What? Do you 'chuckle' at the idea of him mowing down the kids? Or the nightmares they'll have from getting off the bus to be confronted by a zealot with an assault rifle?

please stay on topic. thanks.
But cow farting is considered a major pollutant. There are a lot more people than cows on planet Earth. Humans fart a lot. And Republicans are especially full of gas. So, l think they should make the list of major pollutants.
Actually, humans are the number one polluter on the planet. Humans pollute through manufacturing and creating a modern environment, changing the earth's surface and atmosphere. As well, billions of humans naturally and unnaturally producing methane is polluting the atmosphere in a huge way.

Fox News has to pay more than $700 million for lying, and the New York Times and the Washington Post were awarded Pulitzer Prizes for lying. Crazy stuff!
It was legally proven without a shadow of doubt that Fox News intentionally lied, knowing full well that they lied.
To add to conspiracy theory, how do we know John Durham didn't distort his investigation to get the results he wanted, or was paid to get? He probably didn't, but can we ever trust anything?
I mean, some members here thought PennyCandy was real, right?

Sorry to disappoint you again, but until you get public permission for me to respond to your off-topic questions in these public forums, you, like Felix, will have to express your curiosity some other way to get a response.
Oh, l am not at all dissapointed in you not having balls to answer the question.
But go ahead and 'chuckle'.
I'm laughing all the way to California.
I doubt the GOP would actually carry through on no fault divorce. That would hurt them personally. They'd need to start proving infidelity and such. And that would be easy with all the electronic tracking available now. GOP officials can't expose all their out of wedlock perverted sexual activity to their voting constituents.
I have no doubt that AI will be used by some governments to subvert freedom, liberty, and democracy for human beings. And some will use AI to militarily and economically dominate.
I also have no doubt that some corporations will use AI to replace human employees and further distance the ruling elite from the masses

... chuckling ... And his and your comments came about after his frustrated complaint about my opinion of the appropriateness of the term 'weirdo' for that individual.
Chryses, you avoid revealing answers with your cop out 'chuckling' silly comment. Try actually contributing to the topic. And when calling people weirdos and such? Why not explain your thinking? Is it prejudice?
Trump has been found guilty of sexual assault and defamation in civil court, and must pay 5 million dollars to the victim.
I wonder how many women have been sexually assaulted by Trump.
He still has felony criminal charges to face in a Georgia court on trying to interfere with the election.
*****
Have you noticed how poorly Trump wears his facial cosmetics. The make-up makes him very orange, but leaves his ears, neck, and 'hairline' very pale white. He needs a make over.
I bet your average department store make up artist could improve his make-up and make him look more natural. I wonder why Melania has never mentioned this to him?

You are mistaken.
While others may not agree, given that bizarre, anti-social behavior, I think ‘weirdo’ is an entirely apt description of that “speaker”. I proposed the alternative ‘fruitcake’ so the delicate sensibilities of the easily offended might remain undisturbed.
I went, in September of last year, to the West Coast, and while there I saw the destruction wrought by years of local mismanagement on what was once a very pleasant city. I saw many weirdos/fruitcakes there, although, doubtless, some will think them icons of normalcy.
Governor Newsom has much work to do.
No, she is NOT mistaken. Your POV/opinion is different from hers. Her opinion being different from your is not a mistake.
So, in YOUR opinion what is a weirdo/fruitcake? Asking because you said you saw many.
So, here are some things you can do to get killed by guns in the USA:
Go shopping at a mall
Attend elementary or high school
Go to college
Pump your gas at a convenience store
Walk in a convenience store
Shop at Walmart
Attend a concert
Go to a nightclub
Stop in your car at a traffic light
Sit on your living room couch
Eat in a restaurant
Walk down the street
Attend a birthday party
And on and on...
I applaud the right-wing GOP nut jobs pushing this extreme agenda. The more they do this, the sooner they will fall. Soon, voters will have had enough of the right-wing neo-nazism and vote them out.
The political pendulum is in perpetual motion. Keep denying the masses their freedom, liberty; and privileges and they eventually will get fed up with it.
