Ok I've now officially seen everything. I can confidently assert that my vocabulary is not sufficient to properly express/respond to that billboard.

The end times say their is an anti Christ. Thought it might be Putin. And indications say it is someone from Eastern Europe.
But Trump fits the bill. Add in a pandemic and a plague of locusts that hit DC, you just never know.

Does it? Doesn't to me. There's no law passed by the people's representatives in this case, the law in the Jacobson case was a state law that allowed communities to mandate vaccines if they saw fit but didn't require them to. Smallpox, which we can all certainly be thankful is eradicated, was far more deadly than COVID ever thought of being, vaccines for it had been around for over a century, there was no testing 'off ramp' there, etc. To say nothing of the vast differences in scientific/medical understanding between then and now. Point being, there are a great many differences that when the litigation this time around inevitable reaches SCOTUS the court will likely consider.

Not in the litigation but in the situation, but, hey, continue with the literalist approach if that is all you can see

That whole article is worth a read, and I'm sure the book as well. Crazy and scary stuff, and also Trump threatening to not be Pence's friend anymore if Pence refused to overturn the election results. And it's not like Pence was some hero. He grappled with the decision. He did what everyone should do when they have a difficult decision to make, he called Dan Quayle. Quayle talked him out of it.

The problem with this is the people who need to see it and understand the dysfunction he sows either won't see it because it will never see the light of day on the networks they watch, or may see it and will just say it is fake news.

Trump is evil and horrible.
But I am also not cool with military leaders working against the civilian commander in chief and then being praised for it. All sorts of ways that can go wrong. |

It's great that Manchin and Sinema think the filibuster is more important than doing what needs to be done to make this much less likely.

I would say that's a feature, not a bug. Having a President with the power to use nuclear weapons to me implies the necessity of having checks against them being used capriciously.

Already seeing the Trump playbook in the CA recall election even before the polls close and a single ballot is counted. I doubt we will see a clean election and a concession speech in any election that matters for a very long time.

Interesting that you don't object to what I post when I talk about having voted for Biden, when I advocate for aggressive action to combat climate change, when I post about being in favor of increasing immigration or wanting to eliminate the prison system or agreeing that Trump was a terrible President who I'm glad isn't in office anymore ... No, those posts are never suspect. It's only those where I have an opinion contrary to the unofficial FOFC Party Line. |

There's definitely an FOFC Party Line and we're definitely out to get you. We coordinate using my 99% full inbox and take turns picking which one of us will take you to task for not being completely in line with what we're thinking.

If they win, they will say they would have won by more. It's perfectly consistent. Never mind the fact that CA skews pretty Democrat overall or that exit polls show they turned out about 43-26 over Republicans, it's all a con. I have a pretty good friend all over Facebook saying the results are based on how many fake votes were cast. We're fucked as a country. |

And which group was it that has set about to tear down trust in our institutions?
And which group questioned the legitimacy of the President? And which group set in motion the politicking of the Supreme Court to serve their own ends? And which group has questioned the ongoing legitimacy of democratic elections and the entire election process? And which group insists that god should be the authority of the United States? And which group attacked the seat of Democracy for the US and the entire free world over the defeat of a demagogue? And which group questions the legitimacy and expertise of the nations most important scientists? And which group is more concerned about someone getting $300/wk than a trillion dollar company paying zero income taxes? And which group is ......I mean....it doesn't end. It goes on forever.

Here's another one I don't get. If god is now going to expel the godless from government.....didn't he already do his job? Point being that God allows all things to happen and already knows the final result. So should that have already happened? Or if the US is a god lead country, and trump was chosen, wasn't Biden also chosen instead as we move forward?
The inconsistencies and cognitive dissonance are dizzying.

Well, there's this:
Arizona Supreme Court denies state Senate's appeal to avoid releasing election audit records Funny how the "transparency in elections" people want to hide the audit records.

Type in Arizona Audit in Twitter and go to Top. It's like a journey through a bipolar mind. Half "phony audit," half "fraud was proven - decertify!"
