@redhog Lee and most of the other early generals in the Civil War spent time at West Point and took the same oath as everyone else to defend the Constitution. They chose to go to war against the government they had sworn to uphold, making them traitors. I'm sorry, but that negates being called a Patriot just as much as any military officer who participate in a government coup in any other country. The mob that attacked the Capitol Wednesday, regardless of previous service or civil occupations are not Patriots, they are seditionists trying to overthrow the legally elected government.

@barjoe we have a good variety of convenience stores. It used to be, I heard, a gentleman’s agreement that stores would dominate an area. In Lancaster we had Turkey Hill and Penn Supreme stores, York was dominated by Rutters. Sheetz was mostly to the north of Rt. 22. And everything east of Lancaster was Wawa. Royal Farm didn’t venture north of the Maryland line. 7-11 were scattered around, I think we had two that I know of in Lancaster County. In the past ten to twenty years that agreement disappeared, along with Penn Supreme, Getty, and A+, which were gasoline company owned. Now we have all of them, with more everyday. That was a good thing, because it forced Turkey Hill to upgrade their crummy little shops to compete against the much bigger and better Sheetz and Wawa stores. Royal Frams have just started opening up in the past five years or so.

Every time things don’t go their way, they threaten succession (again) like they did when they joined the Confederacy. They did it during Obama’s presidency, even taking the idea to the point of law. There are no laws in the Constitution that single out individual states that I know of. Any one else? The no standing refusal to hear is not new, and Thomas did not sign on the last time either. Two states sued Colorado in 2018 when they voted to legalize marijuana (I believe it was Oklahoma and Nebraska).

And still get whatever joy shocking the women provides.

95% Efficacy Rate in Stage II Clinical Trials! Go Pfizer!! [sciencemag.org]

They come out with this the day after Moderna releases figures of 94.5'% efficacy. Their vaccine still requires storage at -95°F putting it at a disadvantage with other more stable vaccine programs

@AnneWimsey ice cream, heart transplants, chicken parts.... none of them have to be kept at -80 like the Pfizer vaccine. This vaccine can’t be stored in your kitchen freezer, any more than sperm donation can. The Moderna vaccine can.

@St-Sinner I agree. It is both sides. Which is why I supported only young, first time candidates this election. Both sides need to get some of the old wood out, fresh voices in. As more young people start to vote, more will run for office and stand a chance to win primaries. That’s the only way the Congressional retirement village will turn over.

I wish I could be as confident as some that the military won't be as split as the general population when the time comes to take sides. If nothing else, we learned at the start of the Civil War that taking an oath and defending your country can not overcome loyalty to faith and family. All the top military leaders at the time had take an oath the same as they do now. If it gets totally out of hand, I would expect the military to split in a very similar fashion to the general population. Thankfully, I would hope most would side to keep the country whole and defend the winner of the popular vote. But I would not expect all of them to. Timothy McVey was in the military and he did not mind blowing up little kids to prove a point.

@TheoryNumber3 They've been trying to get rid of them for more than half a century. Right to work laws have weakened them further. But they are still around in certain industries. They certainly don't have the clout they did back in the early 1900's, but I have never heard of a contract that was gender biased. You do the work, you get the pay. And they have moved to non traditional areas, such as medical personnel and some office employees rather than all blue collar. But you are right, industry hates them and like Republicans get people to vote against their self interest, companies love to divide and drive unions out.

@Cutiebeauty I did say “in his mind.” With this new appointment the conservatives have a six-three majority.Three of those six owe their job to Trump and I feel sure had to pledge an oath of loyalty to him to get in. Clarence Thomas is a useless anchor for the conservatives. Roberts may stand up for the law. I don’t see much there to give me confidence that they would do the right thing as a majority at this point. Recent rulings that did not go in the direction expected had to get past a five-four vote with the powerful Ginsburg working. Even those decisions left wiggle room for the Right to renew the assaults with a friendlier court. I truly hope I am wrong and you are right. We may find out in the next half year.

He doesn’t care at this point. In his mind, between the stacked SCOTUS and his White Nationalist militia groups (which I am certain he is in constant communication with beyond the veiled dog whistles in his rallies) will hand him the election regardless of the vote counts. Remember, this is a man with absolutely no scruples and no remorse for anyone who dies. His actions have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths from the virus. He considers soldiers who died saving world democracy losers. There is no base line to how low he will sink to maintain power. This is a very dangerous man in a very powerful position.

I’m actually in a mostly upper middle class area right on the edge of the city. A lot of empty nesters and an influx of younger couples and families. The signs are in both demographics yards, which also surprised me. Our local, state and federal representatives trend to be mostly Republican, the city itself mostly Democrat. I guess the Dems stay closer to the city since where I live is right along side.
