I'd hazard to say that looking beyond one's own emotional opinions and hangups is a mature, necessary part of a functioning society. As opposed to the reactionary, emotional histrionics that we see from the GOP (and other parts of the political spectrum - though not the same raison d'être at the core of the current GOP). Eta- "retardation", not the preferred nomenclature dude. Pretty wild for a, generally, anti-choice viewpoint to include a eugenics carve out but these are strange days. Week -- my outlook is more comprehensive, I find the mass of Democrats, and Republicans, out of their minds and often immature and reactionary; fascinatingly, I've also noticed both groups applying the same psychological / behavioral tactics, which just floors me! They have no idea how they mirror each other in their drive toward political dominance. I belong to neither party, nor any other independent group, and will vote for no one; my framework aligns with realpolitik in thought and action. Undeniably; strange and intersting days; since 2001, A.D. Much excite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Why we must have more (sane) women running the show since men across the board (like primary winner Dan Goldman here) are utterly ignorant about these matters, yet believe they and they only have the right over women's bodies and medical care: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 2 hours ago, Fez said: Also, I care/know more about NY19 than most districts. It, or rather the old versions of it, is where I grew up. And it's important to note that while technically "a rural district", it's not like most rural areas. It's filled with people who've moved up there from NYC, plus a bunch of artist communities, aging hippies, green/organic farm communes, etc. It's also 85% white, as opposed to the 95% white or more that you see in the blood-red Republican rural districts. Yeah the "rural" district description is also misleading because it suggests it is (or basically was in this contest) a solid red district, when its pre-redistricting Cook PVI was only R+2. Considering it was an open seat last night, that's basically a tossup in an even cycle. The good news is, obviously, the suggestion that the midterms will indeed be an even cycle rather than the GOP having a distinct advantage - which all environmental factors strongly suggest they should.

Zorral Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Hmmmmmm . . . . Have we got this straight? Relentless drumbeat that Dems winning elections is fraud, thus elections are fraud, cause dingbats to not vote, thus more reichlicans lose elections, thus there is even more fraudulent Dem election winning?

Martell Spy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Biden announces student loan relief for borrowers making less than $125,000 after months of intense internal debate https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/24/politics/student-loans-joe-biden-white-house/index.html Quote (CNN)President Joe Biden announced his plan for forgiving student debt for some borrowers Wednesday, which includes forgiving $10,000 for borrowers who make less than $125,000 per year and extending the payment freeze one final time until the end of the year. In a tweet Wednesday morning, Biden said the amount of forgiveness will be higher for low-income borrowers who went to college on Pell Grants. Those who went to college on Pell Grants will receive $20,000 in student loan forgiveness. Biden added that those with undergraduate federal loans can also cap their payment at 5% of their monthly income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although perhaps the interest payments I've saved at the lower rate I now have outweighs the $10k in forgiveness plus the extended COVID-pause on interest. I don't really want to do the math though.

Yes, if you're trying to get an emergency stop work order, it helps not to wait two weeks to file, and then file it with so many errors that even a friendly judge can't figure out what to do with it.

This has been a conservative thing forever. What’s always been amazing about that is that the distinction…the overt, intended, open distinction…between a republic and a democracy is that in the former power is concentrated in the hands of the ‘right’ kind of people/families. It’s maybe something to hang your hat on before the Enlightenment, but to proudly proclaim that in the modern western world is…bizarre? But those very same conservatives are the first ones to most trumpet Democracy when using it as a pretext to invade other countries or talk about the unique greatness of America’s Freedoming.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 That argument makes perfect sense, when you think about it. What other non-democracy Republics are there. North Korea and China, yeah, sure. But those were not the ones I was thinking about... With the GOP Mullahs to give their verdict on sha... the law. It's just the next evolutionary step to be more like their Persian brethren. Womens' rights? The Iranian are happy without it. Makes life easier anyway. The Revolutionary Guards are sorta in place already, just that you still insist on calling them militias. A white Christian Theocracy is the endgame here. Issa, Jesus, the same thing. The prophet in Mar-a-Lago. A future fictious version of him couldn't tell the difference between Lucifer and Gabriel either. Even if Luci was wearing fucking name plate.
