He's hoping to ease into House RINO version of Mitch. No thank you. Jim Jordan is the only right answer.

Explain to me why the Core GOP should accept a MAGA candidate as House Speaker?

This is the classic example of the minority holding the government hostage which got them put out to pasture in Alaska.

Jim Jordan will never be elected House Speaker, nor any other MAGA candidate. You want the gavel, get more people elected, but since that's never going to happen, you have two choices. Hold the GOP hostage and force them to make a bipartisan choice, or worse, find out the Democrats find 5 Republicans to take the gavel.

If this happens, expect the MAGA/GOP alliance to crumble.

Why don't the parents just donate their blood for the surgery?

Immigration is something that needs to be codified in our constitution. It's literally mentioned nowhere, because at the time, people were essentially free to come and go at their leisure. It was only after the influx of Chinese railroad workers into the west, and criminals from eastern Europe that they started to curtail it. Later in the 1920s that they started capping other nations with quotas to ensure a solid western European immigration pattern.

It wasn't until the 14th amendment (to deal with slavery) that citizenship was defined, as a person born or naturalized in the United States.

So how does SCOTUS determine the constitutionality of something that's not defined? Do you apply the states vs federal rights clause? That would seem to be a total mess, as some would allow for open ended immigration and others would close their borders immediately. But once in the US, then other states have no choice but to accept their movement due to the interstate clauses.


We've come a long way since this:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Perhaps they should update it to read
Give me your educated, your wealthy,
Your entrepreneurs with wealth yearning to invest,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Keep those, the homeless we don't want, tempest-tost will hopefully fall off the boat,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door as long as you have a skill we require!

I know when I'm staging a coup, I always reach out to my conspiracy bros in America to give them the 411.

But hey keep this on the down low so they don't see it coming, ok?

You guys will believe anything :)

I called this a week or so ago that if McCarthy doesn’t get it the GOPe will vote for a “moderate” democrat speaker to spite the conservative wing

If the MAGA wing won't support anyone but their own, what choice di they have? In what reality do you think the minority partner in a coalition should hold the most powerful position?

You guys really are some self entitled bitches lol.

Because children are your responsibility, maybe I should say young children. You suck it up as long as you can

There's a point of diminishing returns. My dad passed away from multiple myeloma. During the latter stages he was oblivious to what was going on around him due to the massive amount of painkillers they had him on.

If you're able to function, and work, great. If you're bedridden and sucking up money, you aren't doing your young children any favors by hanging around for 3 years forcing in many cases them to assist in your care, and draining away things like college funds, and basic necessities.

Better to just move on and leave them with a trusted family member, or worst case a friend willing to take the burden along with a trust fund in whatever funds you've saved for your retirement. The kids will be better off in the long run.

I mean, don't. But you can't discredit the entire article because of what you think the site is, that this came from, or that you saw one buzzword that you didn't like. Climb that ladder or stay in your zone. Either way, it has no effect on me.

I certainly can. If a kid walks up to me and says 'Bro, let me give you some l33t financial advice, I got the 411 baw!'. That conversation is over before it started.

If you want to get medical advice from a conspiracy site, go right ahead. I've seen people make worse decisions in their life. :)

But here's the deal, why does the "Anti-vax" contingent feel the need to white knight this shite? Personally, I think it's people who were forced to vaccinate to keep their jobs, because they couldn't get a different one are all pissed at the world and finding any nugget of bad information on it seems to be the cause du jour.

If the article or author was truly interested in providing information, they'd write it like an adult for starters. Then they should include the pros and cons and site information so the reader can make an informed decision and check relevant facts. I can tell you w/o even reading the article that the agenda of that article isn't intended to be balanced.

I don't see why having children would factor into the equation. If you are terminally ill and unable to work, you're effectively a drain on society's resources, and likely will burn any inheritance, leaving those kids in a worse situation then if you'd just taken yourself out early on.

If someone is at the point where they are terminally ill, with no viable prognosis to get better, then I would support their actions entirely.

I'll be honest. It's hard to take any "news" article seriously that calls the COVID vaccine, "the jab". It's like angsty teenagers are writing this stuff.
