@Danielle
I'm wondering if anyone here believes that government/voters should have a say over what  citizens can or have to do with their bodies. 
I have not seen any of the mandatory vaccination cases settled before the SCOTUS yet on that matter.

I do know Arver v. United States codified a constitutional right for the government to seize your body and place it on a battlefield.

while the constitution says nothing about fetal ownership. 
That's the point. Add an amendment that does if you want a codified right. Why would you object to such an amendment?

Why would you settle for ambiguity?

The constitution does not afford citizenship (rights) to the unborn regardless of people's feelings on the matter. 
Correct, but if you want to codify a constitutional right to bodily autonomy, you also need a constitutional right to the ownership of your fetus.

Are you for laws that codify the ownership of a fetus?

Wow, maybe he is doing yet a worse job that I thought.
How do you feel about Biden selling US oil reserves to China through a company his son works in?

 People that are bigger risks should pay more for insurance.
unfortunately, the state doesn't allow for a large market of insurance carriers that can cater to low risk groups.

Why did they need extra troops in the first place? Have you ever bothered to ask yourself that question?
Who cares? Government failed in their duty to protect. The electorate isn't going to forgive 6 years of silence on political violence.

Also, you probably missed my other thread, but insurance companies recorded massive losses 2021-2022 from NON COVID deaths due to the failing economy and the malaise of a mandated lockdown ruining livelihoods. People need a reason to live and take care of themselves.

Where is the mandate to recoup those losses? It sure as hell has nothing to do with vaccines.

I’m sick of my healthcare bills subsidizing the unvaccinated,
Children are and were never a health risk from covid. You are today funneling much more of your tax money for unneeded vaccines than you could possibly hope to spend on sick kids.

Military are not at risk either being young and THIN. Or at least thin enough to run a 12 minute mile and a half.

Agree 100 percent. Congress should be talking about security, not the "orangeman."

If their wildly unpopular expressed stance on the SCOTUS protests is any indication of their ability or desire to protect democracy, then they surely can't be trusted to protect the capitol in the future.

Let's not even talk about all the street cred the Democrats lost on security with the defund police/let BLM riot bullshit.

It's just terrible political optics when the country needs leadership and real assurances of security. That ultimately means bi-partisan policies that demand an immediate reduction in political violence. Not this partisan shitshow. While California and New York are OK with perpetual one party rule, the rest of the country most certainly are not OK with that, and never will be.

Those kinds of gaffes are not nearly as devastating to the small underprivileged working man as saying we should eliminate coal from the planet.

88 percent of people agree with that. You are in an objectively deluded minority.

Though Biden is infinitely smarter and wiser than Trump,
Debatable. Americans are objectively in a leadership crisis atm.


If you ever feel dumb, Just remember that there's people out there who still support him

Actually, give the guy some credit. He's actually very good at something: Lying with a straight face. Not just anyone can do that.

You definitely know he's lying or completely mislead when CNN fact-checkers slams him.

I'm just amazed he can remember any fucking numbers at all, considering he needed cue cards of when to take his seat.

The fact that people support him is astounding. And disturbing.

Honestly, I don't even think he's lying anymore: I think he was given a number at the beginning of the event on a card, he didn't remember what it was even though it was in his hand or pocket, and when he went to say whatever number he thought it was, he had like a mini stroke or something and an entirely different number came out his mouth hole.

It’s scary that he just lies. About like EVERYTHING lies. What a bizarre time we are living through

He was referring to the reduction to the GDP, not the deficit. He got mixed up again...

The constitution applies to we the people.  Just like if I vadcation in Saudi Arabia, I’m subject to their laws even though I’m not a citizen.
We have used drone strikes and killed many Americans abroad in violation of many clauses.

decentralization is the key to prosperity and liberty, not mob rule.

Saying it's hypocritical to ensure the safety of the lives of leaders is a ridiculously unexamined edgelord sentiment.

Mob intimidation and public executions didn't work out so well for France, Ireland, or Al Capone.

upshot here is the government is (unsurprisingly) pushing for greater restrictions on protesting in general

Cause Democrats thought the tank would make Dukakis look good, just like Trumpy's spray-on-tan aides were supposed to make Pelosi look good. Hilariously wrong as it turned out.

Biden exposed as selling US oil reserves to Europe.


Make America worse again.

Biden should be able to completely deplete all of the Strategic oil reserves before the electorate can stop him.

It's so dumb. People just couldn't evict the Orangeman from their heads, and now they are raising him from the dead just like Frankenstein

Democrats deserve every self inflicted wound. Darwin has no mercy for the incompetent and offers no excuses.

J6 theatre has to be the funniest political suicide I have seen since the Dukakis ad of him riding in a tank (way before your time), or even Romney's 46 percenter or Carter's Malaise Speech.

As a partisan outsider, the J6 show was definitely the best and most entertaining party suicide theatre. Slow golfclaps while holding in the giggles.


Every orangemanbad politician and supporter reminds me of an abused wife that keeps crawling back for more abuse when reasonable people say "noooooo...let him goooo!"

After Nov. 2022, I want to see the National Guard forming a line against the violent left and protect Democracy.

And while they are at it, they can protect SCOTUS judges too since Democrats don't care about that either.

It's Benghazi all over again. They just don't know how to keep anything safe apparently.
