Al Bore claims global warming is to blame for Brexit. A slight rise in the temperature made the UK vote leave. So now we know. It's temperature that determines political outcomes. I would love to know what the temperature was in the US when the people voted in the presidential election. Could Hilary Clinton have won if there was a difference in temperature of just 0.01°C?

This "Manne" Gorsuck guy will be the end of many decent SC decisions, among them, rights of women to physical autonomy, consumer rights, workers rights, etc

i grew up around catholics so i understand the anti-abortion agenda. not saying that i agree, only that i understand it.
2 days ago on npr a man was being interviewed about his book which deals with the history of the eugenics movement and forced sterilizations-- and back then it was actually catholics who opposed that, while oliver wendell holmes played the fascist in that drama. terry gross or whatever was grossed out by the story eta: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell |

ow! Alito is the fucking worst, even worse than Thomas or Scalia. I noted the parsing of the words in this answer
“All human beings are intrinsically valuable,” he wrote, “and the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong.” what can be read into that is that the death penalty is AfuckingOK |

yes, republican "thinking" "private" being the key word there of course because the public taking of lives (by war or execution or angry cop) is always right republicans are left wingers of death |

Jesus that's unsettling. You don't even have to read into it to get the death penalty stance. Who the fuck would place the word "private" in there if they weren't absolutely prepared to defend the "public" taking of lives. Weird thing to say. But not really surprising. |

went by my inlaws house and on cnn some man was opining about trump's "arranged marriage" and said "the two men understand that they need each other."
just the other day i watched THE ODD COUPLE. not the tv show which i always hated but the movie adaptation of the neil simon play. it was hilarious. hard to think about trump and paul ryan in such human terms though lololol. orange hitler and mr. pie-in-the-tax-cut-sky |

DOJ to crack down on sanctuary cities by denying and clawing back federal grants
https://thinkprogress.org/sessions-s...s-6cacd7c1b26e I think this is actually illegal? A form of economic extortion....... good analysis of the legal issues here http://www.slate.com/articles/busine...has_begun.html |

Guess I don't have to read that because I was never optimistic. I knew for a fact that quite soon after AHCA's failure some toxic shit would come down the pike. Think Trump will just shrug off a loss like that? I don't think Session's sanctuary city crusade is quite it. I predict by the end of the week, something will really make you vomit, and it'll be something you can't do jack about.

no bet! Today's headline about a new Office of Innovation run by Kushner fits the bill... Y'all are fixated on Trump, but you should take a look at Kushner. How did this 25 year old kid end up buying a daily metro NYC newspaper in 2006? [wikipedia says he made money in mass] That was chum change for the following year, "2007, Kushner made the most expensive single-building property purchase in US history, acquiring 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion". Oddly, that was the location of my first corporate job out of college, the polished stonework in the lobbies was full of fossils...it is hard to tell if he is as accomplished as his credentials show (BA Harvard, JD MBA NYU). Or if he was a conduit for his old man to pass over the cookies, so to speak. that makes sense, the old man would have known Roy Cohn. |

New election theory: Did “working-class whites” switch from Obama to Trump because the economy was better?
New voting data suggests that some white working-class voters are only Democrats when they're down and out http://www.salon.com/2017/03/30/new-...my-was-better/ |
