    Trump declares himself the "chief law enforcement officer of the United States"

    Well, he had to know that the swamp was filled with crooks....and guess what? He did. I do believe that he ran on that idea, partly. So yeah, those indictments were about finding the alligators in the swamp, and having those alligators strike back. Put it this way: a corrupt society isn't...

    Mormon Church has $100 BILLION

    Yep, you have no comment or reasonable response to the content, so you go for the ad hominem. Yep, that shows us all who won this one. Like the grade school bully who grabs the ball and runs off the field yelling 'nya, nya, if I can't win the game YOU'RE the one who is stupid!" Riiiiiight.

    Trump declares himself the "chief law enforcement officer of the United States"

    Uhmn....don't look now, but, er...if one is going to go after corruption, one actually makes arrests and GOES AFTER IT. (grin) corrupt government officials don't get indicted. You have things upside down, just a wee bit. In a corrupt society, with someone determined to clean up, you will get...

    Trump declares himself the "chief law enforcement officer of the United States"

    Article 2 of the Constitution says that the head of the DOJ is the 'chief law enforcement officer,' but his job is to advise the President, who is his boss. Which should tell anybody with the ability to read that yeah, POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer, just as he is the head of the...

    We lost an antic paint

    I read it as an ancient Roman wall painting. Which does two things. Exposes my own weird obsession with words, and makes me wonder how someone could have stolen it?

    Mandatory vasectomy at age 50? Alabama lawmaker proposes response to abortion ban

    I'd almost agree with that one (about limiting the gene pool) except that stupidity in this area is an acquired, not an inherent, quality. Many people grow up enough to realize the truth of what you just wrote: that having sex is a gamble, no matter how much you do to prevent creating a child...

    Mormon Church has $100 BILLION

    Define 'comfortably.' MOST of them come from private industry or from areas of expertise that paid them very well. We don't have a 'paid clergy,' y'know. That is, our local leaders don't get paid by the church at all. They must all earn their own livings. It's not until they reach 'General...

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    any body with any sense whatsoever empathizes with Frankenstien's monster. but my list wasn't to so much 'out do you,' but as a rather pointed reminder that nobody here can make such a list without getting the reaction I gave you...and you just gave me. You do not know that your mother has had...

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    Bless you, and I mean that. Mom has Chrones and it's no fun AT all. And no, I don't "get" Asbergers. However, one doesn't need to have the precise thing one is suffering from in order to be empathetic. For instance: I have Multiple Myeloma (bone marrow cancer, high risk with a prognoses of...

    Mormon Church has $100 BILLION

    No, my friend. God doesn't. But the people who may be burned out, flooded out, shot out, bombed out, hungry and ill WILL. Two things here: The LDS church has, arguably, the most efficient and best welfare system there is. Period. It's a whole bunch better than the US government. That's one...

    What would the world look like if religions became friends?

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    Neither do I, Shadow Wolf. But you don't get to pretend that nobody understands you because they haven't been persecuted in precisely the way you have.

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    You are begging the question. .....Simply because some idiot PASSED a law, doing that doesn't make whatever it is holy and unquestionable. The question isn't whether there IS a law, but whether there should be...and whether, if there is, it's constitutional. History has shown us that people...

    The U.S. leads the world in reducing CO2 emissions

    I also have solar panels. I spent $30,000 on them when I refinanced my home three years ago. Even at the INSANE cost, they'll have paid for themselves in seven more years. I'm happy as can be. But do NOT tell me that wind farms and sun farms are good for the environment. They are not. Those who...

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    Yes. I am conservative in a mostly liberal area (more conservative than one would think, mind you; for the REAL snowflakes one needs to commute 40 miles west) I'm also LDS. Trust me on this; I KNOW what discrimination looks and feels like.

    The U.S. leads the world in reducing CO2 emissions

    Nice words. Except that what I see, from pretty much everybody who advocates 'dialing back the consumerism,' is 'YOU do the dialing back; excuse me while I take my private plane to my second home in the Hamptons" When someone criticizes ME for owning two cars, from the comfort of his/her...

    The U.S. leads the world in reducing CO2 emissions

    Yeah, well, I also live in the land of sunfarms AND windfarms, and sun farms are not good for the ecology either. Solar panels on house roofs, buildings, covering parking lots? You betcha. Great Idea. Sunfarms covering miles and miles of land that has just become uninhabitable by any sort...

    Proposed bill would require men in Alabama to get vasectomy

    I didn't say it was either good or bad. It's the difference between conservative and liberal aims. Conservatives go for traditional more's and independent finances/actions. Liberals go...supposedly...for more freedom in terms of social action and considerably LESS freedom in finances. I...

    The U.S. leads the world in reducing CO2 emissions

    Solar panels are not ugly. I think they look cool. And windmills aren't ugly. But they ARE dangerous and a great deal more problematic than the left wing types want to admit. Windfarms can be...and are...REAL hazards to the environment, Huge. But that doesn't matter to the folks who think...
