It is because they can't stand the idea of a strong woman in a position of power.

They remember trying to get RBG to retire during Obama and wound up with Trump appointing Barrett as her replacement. Of course, Sotomayor's a good bit younger than Ginsberg

Quick. Let's subvert the will of the voters while we still have the chance!

Tough decision for the Dems. If she does fall ill just another chance for right wing to pack the Supreme Court with another judge. Get them on the Clarence Thomas, right wing, billionaire payroll.

Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · 15 hours ago15 hr

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

So Why did Trump Start this War?

Wingate · March 10Mar 10

So why did Trump decide to start a war with Iran? Does he even know? Does anyone in his Administration know? Why he is now trying to declare victory and call it off is readily apparent: oil and the stock market. Trump saw oil approaching $120/bbl and Dow futures down 1200 pts pre-market on Monday and decided to make up a definition for “victory”, claim he had achieved it, and do it WHILE the markets were open (I’ll also guess his buddies and sons went long equity futures and short oil before T

If this is not AI, can an American explain why this war criminal is adored by the USA Congress. It's very very strange, like their job depends on it.

How Repulsive is Donald Trump?

Alan Zweibel · March 8Mar 8

This repulsive: Trump says Iran at fault for strike on girls school President Donald Trump on Saturday denied U.S. involvement in a strike that killed more than 165 people at a girls’ elementary school in Southern Iran, instead placing the blame on Iran. When asked aboard Air Force One Saturday whether the U.S. conducted the Feb. 28 strike, Trump said, without evidence, “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing next to the presi

Joe Kent, Counterterrorism official in Trump Administration, resigns.

Alan Zweibel · 10 hours ago10 hr

Joe Kent, one of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies. Here is his resignation letter in full. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/dea3cbf97dbfb39c/1/output-1.png https://archive.ph/R2vUr I may not like his principles, but at least unlike most rightwingers who post here, he doesn't believe that MAGA is Trump an

It's very sneaky and mean when someone who is already poor is cheated like that. Unfortunately, such scams happen every day and not just in Thailand. Crooks, fraudsters and criminals are everywhere in the world. Some steal from a small shop, others attack entire countries.

It all depends on what is considered imminent. AI Overview An imminent threat is an immediate, impending, and unavoidable danger that poses a significant risk of instant harm or injury, requiring urgent action to address it. It differs from future danger by being instantly actionable, with a present ability and opportunity to cause injury. It is a critical concept in safety and self-defense cases. Immediate threat? No, Impending threat? Yes. Unavoidable threat? Arguably yes. Iran was building ICBM's and was enriching uranium to weapons grade levels. Assessment was they had no intention of stopping this.

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 8 hours ago8 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · 11 hours ago11 hr

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi

Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · 18 hours ago18 hr

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta
