This started with you accusing leftists of being undemocratic, or supporting democracy only when it helps my cause. I spent my next three comments laying out why I unequivocally want more democracy at every level regardless.
How Democratic is the American Constitution? Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0300095244/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_KdoaGbFEJNB3T
I highly recommend this book from a Yale prof that digs into the undemocratic aspects of our constitution.
Highly recommend [The Gun by C.J. Chivers](https://www.amazon.com/Gun-C-J-Chivers/dp/0743271734) on the history of the AK-47 vs. the AR-15. Lots of interesting stuff about gov't sponsored design, proliferation, and one of the many ways infantry were getting screwed by Washington.
I understand the cynicism for politicians, but he is the most earnestly honest person I have encountered who has run for, or held, office. That's why he gets himself in so much trouble with people who disagree with him - that damn honesty.

FYI he wrote a book about ending the prohibition of marijuana: https://www.amazon.com/Dealing-Death-Drugs-Business-Checkpoint/dp/1933693940
​
Here's the blurb:
The War on Drugs doesn’t work. This became obvious to El Paso City Representatives Susie Byrd and Beto O’Rourke when they started to ask questions about why El Paso’s sister city Ciudad Juárez has become the deadliest city in the world—8,000-plus deaths since January 1, 2008. Byrd and O’Rourke soon realized American drug use and United States' failed War on Drugs are at the core of problem. In Dealing Death and Drugs — a book written for the general reader — they explore the costs and consequences of marijuana prohibition. They argue that marijuana prohibition has created a black market so profitable that drug kingpins are billionaires and drug control doesn’t stand a chance. Using Juárez as their focus, they describe the business model of drug trafficking and explain why this illicit system has led to the never-ending slaughter of human beings. Their position: the only rational alternative to the War on Drugs is to end to the current prohibition on marijuana.

The cap meant the wealthy could only avoid paying taxes up to 10k. The cap is removed so now they can avoid even more taxes. Which means once again it’s the poor and middle class taking on more of the tax burden of running the government.
I strongly recommend folks subscribe to this historian’s newsletter, Dr. Heather Cox Richardson, for her insights comparing todays world with America’s past. This link isn’t about SALT deduction but more broadly on American taxation. It’s typical of her writings.

We have two parties going back to before the founding of this country.
One party values property over people. One party values people who should own property. We barely balanced for decades if not centuries.
But now the former party doesn't even value policy, and totters on authoritarianism. Its supporters seem not to think kleptocracy would ever affect them, as owners of assets.
I consider myself an Eisenhower Republican. There is nothing for me right now in my original party.

Oh your god. You are so delusional. Comatose people still have brain activity. There are also times when someone who is brain dead and we turn off the support machines. Those doctors are not charged with murder. Under you beliefs, they would be murderers though. No one is saying no value. Just that it's none of our business because it's between the woman and her doctor. To go with religious freedom, each sect of religion all have different ideas on when human life begins (with some overlaps). Some don't think the soul enters the body (their idea of life) until the baby takes it's first breath (god breaths life into the body). These bills would infringe on those people's religious freedom.

In Israel from March 2020 to January 2021 Israel had 154 reinfections out of 149,735 cases, that’s a 00.1% of being reinfected in Israel before the vaccines was even introduced. This article suggests that they really around 800 total reinfections out of 261,000,000 so that’s a whopping 0% chance because the Odds calculator I’m use won’t calculate something that low.

> When they say providing access, they mean adding their names to a list for housing that they will never get called for. But super cool to do this on the coldest day in 8 months!
Today is not the coldest day in 8 months. It was 38°F on March 4th. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/austin/78701/march-weather/351193?year=2019
You do know that you're no better than the Trump loving idiot who says "pretty cold this winter, where's the global warming????" It's fucking stupid to take this view - it's not at all backed by science to say this is what global warming is."
You feed the trolls when you make idiotic assumptions about weather to try and prove changes in climate.
While prison based they do stir up trouble when released. They also control affiliated gangs and organizations on the outside. Not exactly a group of boyscouts once they leave those prison gates.
We just took out a personal loan and got this bad-boy.

Always wanted one of these. Figured we'd go big. We also just got our chimney fixed/cleaned and I've been picking up 4-6 stacks of wood every week. Tired of relying on our government. Bring it on, snowpocalypse... Even if it doesn't happen, it's nice to have the peace of mind... finally. NO thanks to anyone involved in politics...
I totally agree. And, Milton Friedman made the same points almost 50 years ago!
> Source?
The video of course filmed by the father.
> We don't know that - frankly, we don't know much because of the rampant sensationalism and flat out false stories that are flooding mostly right-wing, Christian websites and newspapers.
Bit of a bias there. The only sources reporting on it are going to be right-wing or Christian websites. Left wing media isn't going to report on it until it already is a hot topic and then they'd just fact check only the outrageous claims.
> When did I do that? When did I even begin to hint at what I thought contributed to a diagnosis of gender dysphoria? What I did infer was that health concerns are best treated by health professionals - several of which confirmed the gender dysphoria diagnosis for the child.
Your initial comment is obviously dismissive of how serious the mother's influence (environmental) is and therefore how relevant the story is.
Whether or not you see gender dysphoria as something that's best treated with hormone stoppers and sex changes, your appeal to authority implies any diagnosis is completely independent from the mother's years of influence, which is what's the actual issue. Is the mother's behavior regarding the child's gender identity responsible or not?
Amazon has the book in question listed as being for ages 16+. Does anyone know what specifically within that book is being referred to as pornography?
Remember when right wingers were screaming about censorship and writing books about it?

> Outline the areas where our government is systemically racist and why, and I would be willing to stand with you.
That's what critical race theory is. I recommend that before you spew baseless accusations on the internet, you actually read material written by a CRT, like Texas ' own Eduardo Bonilla-Silva.

I just got these for $8. Basic and the edges are curved so there's protection on the top/bottom/sides. They have standard or a larger size to fit over glasses. Fog resistant too.
