  1. Despite Bans, Number of Abortions in the United States Increased in 2023 https://www.guttmacher.org/2024/03/despite-bans-number-abortions-united-states-increased-2023
  2. Did you actually read the article? It does not contend that there is anything in the bill that requires businesses to change the way tips are reported.
  3. Given what we saw at the debate, if Harris' isn't very good at using her brain, that means Trump has pretty much given up on using his.
  4. It's not about the batteries. They would get uncomfortably hot before they exploded.
  5. Let's start with Trump's magical tariffs which he claims won't be inflationary. How does that work?
  6. Well, the article here is based on a much longer article from Pro Publica. What we do know is this: The availability of D&Cs for both abortions and routine miscarriage care helped save lives after the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, studies show, reducing the rate of maternal deaths for women of color by up to 40% the first year after abortion became legal. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death
  7. It's one poll. There's been, on average, a slight tick upwards for Harris but it's still a very tight race.
  8. You said it, and, not surprisingly, offered no evidence for it.
  9. The Constitution says that the vice-President is the President of the Senate. Which is meaningful when there's a tie vote. Other than that, can you share with the rest of us what else the vice-President is in charge of throughout their term of office?
  10. " A federal judge in Manhattan ruled that Trump had violated Grant's copyright, making him liable for damages and legal fees. The case began in August 2020, during Trump's reelection campaign when Grant's attorney, Wallace E.J. Collins, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Trump’s campaign team, demanding the video be taken down."
  11. By September 1940, the Luftwaffe had lost the Battle of Britain and the German air fleets (Luftflotten) were ordered to attack London, to draw RAF Fighter Command into a battle of annihilation.[5][6] Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, ordered the new policy on 6 September 1940. From 7 September 1940, London was systematically bombed by the Luftwaffe for 56 of the following 57 days and nights.[7][8] Notable attacks included a large daylight attack against London on 15 September, a large raid on 29 December 1940 against London resulting in a firestorm known as the Second Great Fire of London,[9] and a large raid on the night of 10–11 May 1941. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz Here's a map of where the bombs fell in the London Blitz. This is the bird's eye view or maybe the satellite eye's view. You can focus it on a smaller scale to see local detail. http://bombsight.org/#8/51.349/0.497 It's only for London not for other cities such as Coventry which also suffered.
  12. Thanks for the rhetorical nonsense. There are conditions that are utterly hopeless. I gave the example of an infant born without a skull. There are others.
  13. Which came first? The Luftwaffe bombing Britain or Britain bombing Germany? Have you heard of the Blitz? Before that there there was the bombing of Poland by the Germans. This is news to you? Strategic bombing during World War II in Europe began on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) began bombing Polish cities and the civilian population in an aerial bombardment campaign.[33 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II#:~:text=Strategic bombing during World War II in Europe began on,in an aerial bombardment campaign. And also Rotterdam: "In 1940, Rotterdam was subjected to heavy aerial bombardment by the Luftwaffe during the German invasion of the Netherlands during the Second World War. The objective was to support the German troops fighting in the city, break Dutch resistance and force the Dutch army to surrender. Bombing began at the outset of hostilities on 10 May and culminated with the destruction of the entire historic city centre on 14 May,[2] an event sometimes referred to as the Rotterdam Blitz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_bombing_of_Rotterdam
  14. So, just because Kamala Harris got that wrong, does that mean she's responsible for them being there? So do you hate Donald Trump for claiming this? Trump has falsely claimed in the past that his presidency was the first in 72 years that “didn’t have any wars,” despite the fact that he oversaw four years of combat in Afghanistan as well as major military escalations in Iraq, https://www.vox.com/kamala-harris/371497/harris-troops-war-zones 08:58: "I had no wars. I’m the only president in 72 years, I didn’t have any wars. And they love that narrative, but they use that narrative because they have nothing else. " https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/iowa-town-hall-with-donald-trump-1-10-24-transcript
  15. I would guess mainly hardcore Brexiteers.
  16. You missed the key word: "viable". Not even Roe v Wade allowed for abortion of viable fetuses.
  17. Here is a favorability map for Trump alone during his last year in office: Trump Ratings Remain Low Around Globe, While Views of U.S. Stay Mostly Favorable https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/01/08/trump-ratings-remain-low-around-globe-while-views-of-u-s-stay-mostly-favorable/
  18. This was written to address the fact that some babies are born alive but with no hope of survival. For instance, babies born without a skull. Previously, the law demanded that even in such a hopeless case, any measure that could prolong the life of the infant should be taken: "The law now requires “all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice … shall be taken by the responsible medical personnel to care for the infant who is born alive.” What that means, as Liebling noted, is that families and physicians decide together how best to proceed when a termination past the point of viability is tragically required. Thankfully, this is rare, with just 1% of all U.S. abortions happening at or after 21 weeks" https://archive.ph/eOh0L#selection-1107.190-1119.31
  19. Some in South Jersey have a message for Trump: Pay your old Atlantic City casino bills https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/columnists/mike-kelly/2020/01/24/donald-trump-still-owes-money-to-contractors-who-built-taj-mahal-atlantic-city/4547037002/
  20. Given that you are clearly unfamiliar with her work, why should anyone even trust your judgement? If you read the lyrics from her songs, you'll see that the are usually smart, witty, and sometimes even funny. As for her voice, she uses what's she's got to great effect. So, no, it isn't just about her looks. John Lennon didn't have a great voice either. But somehow, when it comes to women, the bar is set much higher. And thanks for the cliche's about female pop singers. You've done a survey?
  21. If you had actually bothered to read the article you would know that her "rounded back" is a thing of the past. The "experts" cited, were speculating about what she did to correct it.
  22. So because Mariah Carey isn't happy, that means Taylor Swift won't be happy either? Are you persisting in advertising your ignorance of Taylor Swift's songs. You believe that her appeal is to 12 year olds despite the fact that actually very few of her fans are that young. Which you would understand if you were actually familiar with any of her songs. The lyrics mostly aren't the kind that a 12 year old would find compelling. So clearly you aren't familiar with her work and yet you claim that Lady Gaga has more talent than Swift. Basically, your critique is founded in prudery and it's foundering there.
  23. Just because the Biden data is irrelevant, that doesn't mean that the Trump data is.
