Can you dig up the position of a Democratic member of Congress that does not feel that way? Because I have seen a number of interviews and they all use the facile euphemism "I support a woman's right to choose" without ever getting any pushback on what they actually mean in terms of what a cutoff day should be.

GOP embraces a new foreign policy: Bomb Mexico to stop fentanyl
Hanaguma replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Tempting. -
In other words, trends continued. Gun homicides decreased, yet overall homicides did not, which suggests that those who used guns previously simply changed to other weapons to commit their crimes. Ditto with suicides. Lack of guns didn't stop the people who wanted to end their lives. If you look at the chart provided by Still Kicking up the page, the overall number of murders did not change at all for 5 or 6 years after the gun law was passed. It DID stop most mass killings, but did nothing substantial to reduce crime/murder overall. In other words, ineffective.

Bombing the fentanyl factories and 'auditing' the cartel members would be a lot easier I think. Any other solutions? -

Other possible solutions? Perhaps interdict the Mexican coastline to stop the precursor chemicals coming from China? -
Care to provide some of these "splendid options"? Generally the sitting VP is the choice, but it seems that few people would be happy if she were the nominee. Like I wrote on another thread, a centrist like former Senator Tester of Montana could help bring the party back to the center and peel off some GOP votes.

Italy moves to rescue 1,200 migrants on boats

Getting on an over crowded boat after paying a scumbag human trafficker for the privilege? I would call that foolish. -
Democrats who might run for president if Joe Biden does not
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No argument here. Oz was a poor choice and ran a very lackluster campaign. I pity the good people of Pennsylvania for having to choose between the two of them. -
How about we look at my link? According to it, the homocide rate in Australia flatlined after the gun control legislation (your link shows that as well), before resuming the downward trend that already existed BEFORE the laws. and overall violent crime (including robberies and armed robberies) actually INcreased. https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/lbrr/archives/cnmcs-plcng/cn32226-eng.pdf Seems no relation between the law and crime in general at all. Rates for most crime went up until years later.

Blah blah blah. The story doesn't even say where the passengers were from, so how can you make that judgement? Plus, Italy hasn't been in the colonial business for a long while. -
Trump too. That's why I said I want BOTH parties to choose new candidates. Also perhaps why so many Democrats want to dump him as candidate. The only think keeping him remotely in the picture is the dread spectre of Kamala Harris getting the nomination. Perhaps Joe's best decision was installing her as VP. What a great insurance policy...

What a surprise, you do it once and suddenly it happens again. How about taking them back to where they came from and leaving them on the shore there? People who foolishly put themselves in danger should not be rewarded for their actions.
