On another topic:
This is an example of how far Republicans are willing to go. Makes it OK to use guns to kill doctors who perform abortions.
A proposed bill introduced by North Carolina state legislators that reportedly would make abortion punishable by death has sparked outrage after resurfacing online. House Bill 158, sponsored by Republican state Rep. Larry Pittman last February, stated a person who “seeks to destroy the life of another person, by any means, at any stage of life, or succeeds in doing so, shall be held accountable for attempted murder or for first-degree murder, respectively.” If signed into law, the bill would have also given people the right to use deadly force when defending the life of a person who is “born or unborn,” Though drafted in 2021, the bill has been shared by many on Twitter, including Santiago Mayer, the founder of Voters of Tomorrow, a nonprofit that promotes youth engagement in politics. Republicans in North Carolina just introduced a bill that’d make abortion punishable with death. So very pro-life of them.

So you do not consider to Trump to be a liar? How about when he claimed he won the election in Georgia by hundreds of thousands of votes AFTER BEING ADVISED BY HIS STAFF AND CABINET THAT WAS NOT TRUE?
Here’s what Mitch McConnell said about it:
“We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was,”
Is that not saying that Trump was a liar?

“Does that make the product tastes better?” Oh, I forgotten what it is like to deal with normies
Who drinks for the taste? Who cares about the friggin taste? I drank for the effect. Imagine the weird normie scenario: A nice lady sipping on a glass of wine or two and suddenly stops because ‘she is beginning to feel it”. Why stop? She is just getting to where I wanted to be and then really start drinking.
Normies, I tell ya. When I was a big time Charlie in my own mind, I had luxury to acquire the finest distilled spirits. Took comfort in drinking the brandy that Neapolitan drank in his last days on exile island with his organs rotting out from “sailor’s disease (dis-ease), or known as late stages of untreated ventral disease. They had to change the sentry guarding him every hour cause the guard would pass our just from the ex-emperor’s exhales. Organs rotting away.
So, the guards were imprisoned as well to their charge, and Napoleon was imprisoned by the guards. Both were imprisoned to each other and neither one was free of the other. Kinda like Punchy appearing here. He is a prisoner to that which he tries to trap. But, I wax metaphysical.
Drink for the taste? Surely you jest. Did like greyhounds (vodka and grapefruit juice) and vodka with tang straight if I wanted to make a strong screwdriver with a little color. Vodka and water, vodka and whatever I had handy, and cheap polish vodka and the cheap potato vodka runs.
Drink for the taste? Normies. Kamchatka goes boom! “Firewater, where have you been all my life?”, the 14 year old asked after his first pull off the jug. Think it was whiskey. Never like the taste of whiskey or Scotch, but, bar keep, keep ‘em coming. Don’t care if it is White Russian with Sake chasers. Keep chasing that first time. Pow, boom!

MICHAEL K. Oh, my, there is certainly my contribution to the cesspool…er…the mud wrestling, the kicking cat turds in the Sandbox, no doubt. A no-brainer. Duh, lol.
Guilty to all charges, real and I imagined. Oh Punch E Koyote, at least twice I can recall, has called publicly for Dr. Rebane to give me the boot. The permanent censorship. “You are out of here knucklehead and I mean it.” Said I was turning De. Rebane’s blog into something bad. Rude, crude, and definite not fit for polite society.
That is a gross understatement.
There is much blood on my hands and it’s finger licking good. That laying a Lincoln Log on Pelosi’s deck really got to our Victorian better, bigley. Before that it was a time I posted a Lotus Eaters video (Brits) who showed how the trans movement and the Woke has hijacked the roost of the old nice neighborly good gay men who started and formed Boston Pride. The leaches took over and kicked the founders out. I agreed that was wrong. I also believe strongly that the transsexual movement hijacked the Women’s Movement by first being allowed to ride on the women’s coattails instead of forming their own organization. Worse than parasites. The aim is to kill the hosts.
It got so bad for the women who truly cared about women’s issues that the ladies ‘nasty’ women on the march could not wear pussy hats any longer because Trannies don’t have vaginas. How offensive! How cruel, heartless, hoe shamefully non inclusive. They ain’t women! Anyway…never got 86’d by Dr. Rebane…yet. He don’t roll that way. Hardly an authoritarian. The door swings both ways.
***Michael K: I ASSUME you just want to have a civil discussion without all the noise and distractions and staying on topic with Psul.

‘Judge disqualfiies Fulton County DA from investigating alternate Trump elector’
Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis had a conflict of interest in investigating Jones.
“Da superior court judge on Monday barred Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from conducting a criminal investigation into Republican state Sen. Burt Jones, who was on a list of alternate Georgia electors supporting President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis had a conflict of interest in investigating Jones after she held a fundraiser in June for his Democratic election opponent. Jones is seeking the state’s lieutenant governorship in November.
“This scenario creates a plain — and actual and untenable — conflict,” McBurney wrote, according to The Hill. “Any decision the District Attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it.”
Reports revealed last week that 11 of the 16 members of the alternate slate of Trump electors had become targets in a criminal probe as part of Willis’ investigation into the Trump campaign’s efforts to challenge the presidential election results in the state.”

‘Supremely out of order: Supreme Court order on ICE guidelines violates tradition’
“In the span of a month, the Supreme Court overturned a half-century-old abortion right, knocked down a century-old New York concealed firearm carry law, made it much harder to hold law enforcement accountable for constitutional violations, frustrated the EPA’s ability to regulate emissions and eroded the wall between church and state, a series of activist rulings in the name of constitutional conservatism.”
(Oh, goodie, tell me more Tickle my ears.)
lThis leaves in place an untenable situation: A single federal district judge in Texas is forcing the entire federal immigration enforcement efforts nationwide to have absolutely no prioritization whatsoever. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security had sanely sought to concentrate its energies on detention of recent border crossers and those posing a threat to public safety or national security. The judge thwarted that policy choice, which means now a hardworking undocumented mother raising her U.S.-born kids in Queens must be targeted exactly the same as an admitted terrorism supporter or child sexual offender.
Every single law enforcement agency in the history of the United States — local, state and federal — exercises discretion daily. The government does not have the resources to go after the 11 million undocumented people in communities around the country, and even if it did, doing so would cause us social, economic and moral ruin.
This nonsensical directive keeps no one safe, is inhumane and is particularly galling given the top court’s frequent knocking down of district court injunctions against Trump-era restrictive immigration policies. It’s part and parcel with justices’ increasing willingness to be political actors, the precedent be damned.“
https://www.yahoo.com/news/supremely-order-supreme-court-order-080000289.html
Sounds like about right. I recall Justice Clarence ‘Uncle Tom’ Thomas writing about having a single Federal Judge having the power to make nationwide injunctions. Oh my. Left is all happy when they find a judge to uphold some directive that new was signed into law..like blocking Trump’s extreme vetting ‘Muslim ban’ or having one judge keep DACA going which set to expire and remained ‘law’. One judge. Associate Justice Thomas has been warning the lower courts for two years now that issue of one Federal judge holding or blocking the whole process must be looked at in view of the Constitution’s powers being abused by since created lower Article 3 judges. Congress writes the laws.
Now they decry the power of a single judge in Bumfauk, ROFLMAO. And to make matter sweet, every Lefty from Hilary Hodge to the popping heads blocking airports said the Muslim ban Trump ordered during the domestic height and spread of terrorism was Unconstitutional!!! Sorry, the temporary ban on Visas from nine Islamic Countries known to be the hotbeds of terrorism was Constitutional….. and Trump’s ban also included some individuals from North Korea.
