If ever there were a better thing to give instead of receive. I've never heard of it. The Holey church of the sacred soap on a rope.
Mike Johnson is a Problem.....

Yes, a prospective Senator or Representative should state clearly there is no plan to create Federal legislation to create a Federal legal standard, what so ever.
A prospective Governor has to walk the tightrope, under the sword of Damocles.
About the best s/he can do is say the state legislature will define the legal standard for their state, and I will support the will of the people in choosing to sign or veto any measure passed. This won’t be good enough for ardent pro-choice or pro-life proponents.
It’s a depiction of fear mongering, Aloha. When Christian values get written into law the social Apple cart will be wrecked. Then, again maybe some of the more ‘antisocietal’ social polices need to be reformed. Disincentives against work and marriage do not create freedom … but dependence on the Government.
A masterpiece here, CoH. I think most logicians call your "surrogate thinking" the fallacy of guilt by association. At least that's how I learned it.
Check out An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments: Learn the Lost Art of Making Sense. It's a cute and useful little book.
Thanks. Here is a website you might be interested in. I’ve linked it a time or two over the years.
You stop it. How exactly is using the term they apply to themselves some sort of "liberal construct"?
Christian nationalism, white nationalism, white supremacy, white logic, islamaphobia, extreme MAGA, colonist, and more are all lazy rhetorical gimmicks to enhance your POV while diminishing others with emotional nonsense. The point is not that such characteristics don’t exist in society, the point is that they are overstated and manipulated to diminish large groups of people. This is the real point point if Hitler and the Nazis. Not a particular word like vermin.
How come all of your examples refer to terms applied to right wing bigots when there are just as many code words used to attack people who are in the center or the left as well? If one accepts the validity of your argument, one has to realize it is at the very least equally applicable to those you purportedly agree with, No?
Are you seriously going to argue that people like DANC,ftw, Mas, dbm, etc don't epitomize lazy rhetoric espousing people who diminish others "with emotional nonsense"? Not to mention the right wing echosphere at large, using terms like Groomer, anti-family, pedo,Socialist/commie (they're too ignorant to distinguish the difference), RINO and so on? If so, you're full of BS...
You're defending Trump's use of the term "vermin" when his whole diatribe was filled with the exact type of language you claim to rail about. Trump continues to conflate anti- Trump/Maga with being un American and since people that listen to him as some sort of messianic presence have a toolbox full of screws loose in the first place, they are remarkably amenable to an argument designed to appeal to such lemmings.
Trump and his minions are every bit as guilty of the type of "Nazi mind games" you ascribe to the subjects of your post. Since you're sort of intelligent I have to believe you know how true and accurate that is. You're just too dishonest to admit it...
I can't wait till you guys wake up following the 2024 election and realize that (despite these early polls) the Dems once again control the WH and the House. If you haven't figured it out yet people like Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are out of step with the majority of US voters.
If you don't believe that, then I challenge the various swing state GOP election Committees to proudly run and pay for the various sound bites of Johnson advocating for a nationwide anti-abortion ban and the anti LGBTQ statments he contributed to this book...
I know the Dems will run them ad nauseum. I just think if the GOP endorses those positions then they should pay for the ads which will obviously get more Pubs elected...
Speaker Johnson wrote foreword for book filled with conspiracy theories and homophobic insults
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wrote the foreword and publicly promoted a 2022 book that spread baseless and discredited conspiracy theories and used derogatory homophobic insults.
So I thought some might find this interesting. Liz Cheney pulls no punches in her new book, which I've only heard excerpts from. In this interview on the Bulwark, she has no mercy on McCarthy and his lack of leadership...
But she is particularly brutal when assesing Maga Mike, and his role in the bogus attempt to subvert the votes of millions with his phoney lawsuit She characterizes his approach to get other gullible House Pubs to sign on as "bait and switch"...
But what really struck me as noteworthy was that she shred Johnson and his duplicity BEFORE he became House speaker, at a time when he was basically unknown to the public at large. It's as if she knew on Sept 1 (nearly 2 months before any of us ever heard the name Mike Johnson)) what many of us have only discovered subsequently as part of the vetting process...

be so great. celebrating the crab legs they can never afford in the house they can't even dream of buying
I hope they call with a three hour window when they come to take my gas stove.
