@TomMcGiverin Hey Obama would have signed a universal healthcare bill into law in a heartbeat. But if he had insisted on that and only that, he would have got nothing. Yes, the ACA was based on a Republican idea (virtually the same as what Mitt Romney had in MA) but still had to do it with Democrats alone. The fact that he got the ACA across the finish line at all was a major accomplishment. And look what Republicans have done ever since: tried to repeal it without any plan to replace it. But they can't really do that now, because too many people like it! 😂 Tom, you are too negative. Lighten up, man.

@Trajan61 I agree that we have not been acting fast enough. But Biden is not alone in this. NATO is rightly being cautious. We don't want to give Mad Vlad an excuse to go nuclear. So yes, they're erring on the side of caution.

@TomMcGiverin Obama had a very realistic understanding of how far his political capital would take him (not that far). So he wisely focussed on one thing, and got the only meaningful healthcare legislation passed since FDR. The Affordable Care Act was a huge step forward.

Flyingsaucesir comments on Jun 9, 2022:

Science has provided free thinkers reason to place the PROBABILITY of God's existence at vanishingly small. Will we ever be able to rule it out entirely? Probably not. In a big universe, you can't prove the non-existence of something. Especially if by definition that something defies observation.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 9, 2022:

@yvilletom To be fair, there have been waves of regulation. But the corporate interests have bought a lot of politicians, and successfully rolled back many regulations. Also, the economy has developed and changed rapidly, and regulations have not kept pace with the changes. We went from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy to a financial economy to an information economy...with overlaps of course...

@TomMcGiverin I don't think the two Parties are remotely the same. One is dedicated to democracy and the other to fascism. Huge difference. Give the Dems a filibuster-proof majority and you will see action. Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema are not real Democrats. If they were then the filibuster rule would be history.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 9, 2022:

@creative51 I think he's just giving credit where credit is due. It was in Europe where science really came into its own. Following the Black Plague in Europe, at the end of the Middle Ages, the survivors suddenly found themselves to be wealthy inheritors of property. This allowed leisure time to indulge in inquiry. It also helped that the printing press was invented, and literacy was no longer limited to the clergy. This gave rise to the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason.

@BD66 I remember gas prices as low as 30 cents a gallon in the early-mid 60s. But I also remember the price hitting 1 dollar per gallon in the mid 70s, and it never went back down significantly. Gas prices in Europe were aleady over 5 dollars a gallon in the 80s, and would have been here too if it were nit for the tens of billions in corporate welfare dollars the fossil fuel industry collects every year. Inflation is a reality in every modern economy. And the US economy is the biggest the world has ever seen. So 30 trillion is not really as big a number as it sounds. I would like to see the national debt smaller than it is. Unfortunately the Done Cheato had to go and give a huge tax break to the rich, and of course the national debt skyrocketed. Republicans, as is their wont, would fix the problem by cutting away the social safety net. I guess they like that "kersplat!" sound when non-rich people hit bottom. Dude, you watch too many movies. Done Cheato is Putin's bitch, and mad MAGA hatters are if nothing else loyal to their führer.

@BD66 Hmmm, well (a) you are using the word "Republicans" very loosely. And even if 100% of mad MAGA hatters call themselves Republicans, the minimum number of MAGA hatters who favor Russia is probably closer to 6 million. And it may be double that. Or triple. Who knows? More study is required. And [b] this supposed voter fraud you claim happened is just so much hogwash. Trump's lawyers brought over 60 lawsuits around the country, and lost all of them for lack of evidence. Trump's own Attorney General (never was there one more supportive of a president that Barr was of Done Cheato) called Trump's claims of fraud "bullshit." And Trump's own cyber security czar said the 2020 election was the cleanest in history. When the Trump-friendly cyber ninjas recounted the votes in Arizona they found that Biden won by an even greater margin than previously thought. Trump tried to cajole and coerce the (Republican) Georgia Secretary of State into "finding" some more Trump votes, but they were not to be found. Trump's personal lawyer had his law licence suspended for bringing spurious claims into court. Many of the judges who heard those claims were nominated by Republican presidents. Some by the Done Cheato himself. 😂😂😂

Trump held up the arms shipments for months....until things got too hot for him. Putin was no doubt emboldened by the gesture, and deeply gratified by all Cheato's hard work denigrating NATO at every opportunity. And what are we to make of Cheato's public rejection of his own intelligence community's analysis in favor of Putin's "very strong" denials? Yeah, Trump is Putin's bitch.

You have an interesting interpretation of the polling data. I think you see what you want to see in it. Well, let's go with that and see how far it takes us. If we accept the assertion that 92% of republicans have an unfavorable view of Russia, and we take the number of Republicans to be the number that voted for Done Cheato in 2020 at 70 million, that leaves about 6 million Republicans who do NOT take a dim view of Russia. Now here is a question that was not addressed in the poll: how many MAGA hatters identify themselves as Republicans? Not 100%, I'll bet! How many of those MAGA jerks place themselves in the same Party with Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Lyn Cheyney, Brad Rafsthenberger, Jeff Flake, Brian Kemp...and others who have stood up to Done Cheato?

@Druvius I know that promises were made that NATO would not expand east of Germany. I also know that Putin was deeply affected by what happened to Libya's Gadhafi, and to Saddam in Iraq. What dictator wouldn't be? Maybe if he wasn't such a corrupt shit-heel he wouldn't have to worry so much. In any case, the fact remains that Ukraine was minding her own business when Putin suddenly invaded. There is no excuse for that. None. Nobody was ever going to invade Russia, a big country armed to the teeth with enough nukes to wipe out all life on Earth. Putin's ostensible worries over that are just so much wind...a very weak casus belli. The real reason that Putin invaded Ukraine was to distract his subjects from how severely fucked they are by Putin and his circle of corrupt oligarchs. It's all a PR stunt. Russians love a strongman, and are nostalgic for past "greatness."

@CourtJester With respect to fossil fuels, Biden is in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Personally, I would love to see them cut off both Nordstream pipelines, but its not that simple. Germany and the other countries that rely on that gas cannot simply go cold turkey overnight. It will take time. Be patient. It will happen. The delay of that part of the sanctions certainly does not represent giving Putin "everything he wants." Careful with your spinning CJ, you'll make yourself dizzy. Is sending the Ukrainian army HIMARS giving Putin "everything he wants"? I think not.

Decades ago, I read that in the Founders’ times, the late 1700s, the word “respecting” meant “about”. If that’s correct, today’s originalists can read the first clause as “Congress shall make no law about an establishment of religion, ….” If any state wants to establish a ...

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 6, 2022:

There is a large body of SCOTUS case law reaffirming the federal proscription against state laws that in some way establish or inhibit any religion. For instance, in Engle v. Vitale, the Court ruled that the State of New York could not institutionalize prayer in public schools. In Cantwell v. Connecticut, the Court ruled that the State could not require a permit for religious solicitations. In Torasco v. Watkins, the Court ruled that the State of Maryland could not require a candidate for public office to declare a belief in God. And in Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Court ruled that the State could not use state funds to reimburse a religious school for its textbook expenditures. In that case, the court created what is known as the Lemon Test, which says that a law is constitutional if (1) it is primarily secular in purpose, (2) its procipal effect neither aids nor inhibits religion, and (3) the law does not excessively entangle government and religion. How is the federal government able to exert this influence over the states? Because the states all receive MONEY from the federal government!

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 6, 2022:

That is a classic right-wing misrepresentation of the facts. No one is saying that only the government should have guns. On the contrary, there is broad support on both sides of the isle for common citizen gun ownership. However, a majority of Americans also support common sense gun laws, including background checks, waiting periods, red flags, safe storage, raising the minimum age for legal purchases, closing the gun show loophole, severe penalties for straw buyers or possession of ghost guns, caps on magazine capacities, and a ban on military assault rifles. With all that in place there would still be a LOT of room for legal gun ownership by the common citizen.

@FrayedBear First, it's not a valid analogy. Second, we already know the real reason why Putin invaded Ukraine. He wants that land, because it is some of the most productive farm land in the world. So he invents a fake casus belli, and a fake history of Ukraine, and then he starts bombing Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking civilians alike. Putin is not going to get away with it. By now he knows that he's lost. It's only a matter of time before his war machine breaks down. If he has a shred of honor left he should take his little ivory-handled pistol, put it in his mouth, and blow his brains out. He's a dead man walking anyway.

@FrayedBear It's really too late to play that card, because Putin already revealed his reason for invading Ukraine, i.e. to reestablish the Russian empire. And Putin justified his actions by denying the existence of a Ukrainian identity, state, or culture. And Russia's overt actions to erase the Ukrainian state and Ukrainian culture constitute genocide. So no surprise that Europe and the USA are helping a European country fend off an illegal invasion by a rogue state. If Putin's Russia doesn't like what's happening in Ukraine, they should get the f**k out. 🙂
