    Yahoo has an account wall, no big deal, but still.

    I haven't seen a Blue Wall around Menendez, although a few Dems did the obligatory, "Let's remember everyone is innocent until proven guilty."

    There is slight chance Harris could get such legislation through, but it would require some Republicans coming to their senses.

    Scenario:
    Harris wins.
    Dems win some seats in both houses, but not a blowout.
    Some, perhaps many, Repubs realize NPD Trump will not be a viable candidate in 2028.
    Enough of the above Repubs decide trying control the US through strangulation means isn't the answer; they vote in favor of the reforms.

    Yes, it's farfetched, probably completely unrealistic. The GOP would rally behind someone very much like NPD Trump.

    Can you imagine a young healthy Repub presidential candidate with say the communication skills of Raygun and the cunning of Dick Cheney?

    Opinion | ‘That’s What I Would Have Liked, to Live in a Wild Sea’
    * NYT article, sorry...can't find an alternative for ref.
    I'm of a Libertarian mind on this matter...

    IMHO, get the govt out of our fuckin' business and lives. It's our life and our choice.
    Mind your own business, get back to work on real problems...supporting those who WANT to stay around and be alive.

    As long as a person goes thru a series of mental/emotional tests, then let them do as they will.
    We've got more than enough people.

    And the grief and inconvenience that friends, family or otherwise feel, is NO different than if they got hit by a tree branch falling from the above on a sunny day. (this happened to me at 16, BTW)
    Or had a heart attack, a stroke, COVID-19, a drunk driver, a bus/truck turning wrong, a fall to the cement, lightning strike, drowning, drug use and the bazillion ways there are to croak instantly...

    Sorry, and I don't care about any religious aspect...not my business, only the business of the person making the choice.
    Get religion out of govt choices and activities. There are too many out there to make any specific decision and not open up a can a worms to bog down the courts even more.
    (Hell, I've even heard of an "atheist" who was into pagan...so be it. Jews for Jesus, etc. and so on... Religion and faith is a HUGE spectrum that is dynamic and changes on a person's whim or woe. IMHO, a flavor to life :p)

    Other countries seem to do fine with it and don't collapse. I think Sweden has "bye bye" beds where people can just go permanently to sleep. (don't recall the real name for the product/tool, but it seemed to get the point across)

    Again, govt needs to stay out of our lives...and death.
    Hell, those some states who are pro-life, aren't really, because they don't want to support you and yours after you're born...believe you should work until you die....and if you can't work, should be dead.

    I'll reiterate to the self-righteous, nosy busy bodies and VIPs, judges & politicians who don't really give a damn but want votes and cash.
    STFU and GTFO !!! :mad:

    Do as you will.
    Life is yours.

    We can decide to euthanize a suffering animal.

    But...
    we can't let people make their own decisions regarding how they want to die.

    That's wrong.

    Edit: My original post was ambiguous & confusing.

    Judge Aileen Cannon Failed to Disclose a Right-Wing Junket — ProPublica

    And yet another...but unsurprising.
    She obviously had a conflict of interest. Got her rebuked before, by an appellate court.
    And it's only because another ultra conservative oversight judge is assigned to her, that she's able to continue. (He refused to hear ANY other protests)

    As we see with the likes of Project 2025, Ginny Thomas, Leonard Leo, Prince George College Scalia Law School, The Heritage Foundation and so on...there's a VERY large, conspiratorial effort, and HUGE conflict of interest. :confused:
    Example...
    Leonard Leo Built the Conservative Court. Now He’s Funneling Dark Money Into Law Schools.

    She is another one, who's trying to deny the fire, where there's lots of smoke. :mad:

    Question is, what are the authorities or federal government going to do about it.
    If Chump wins, more swamp, even more slimy. :(

    And will Biden and Harris, actually DO something about it. This HAS become a serious national security risk.
    Especially if these folk are getting influenced and funded by hostile nations and groups (Russia, China, NK, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and so on...) :eek:
    Or by billionaires who want to keep their $$$ and re-establish essentially a Nobel class. (which was get rid of in 1776, doncha know?? :rolleyes:)

    WHEN are the responsible leaders going to DO something??? :oops:

    That state of mind was buried before, but as we now see it didn't die. We can bury it again, but can we kill it?

    Edit...fuggin typos.

    Rudy Giuliani ordered to hand over assets to Georgia election workers

    America's mayor... :rolleyes:
    More like America's traitor.

    Now that he's got his pants down around his ankles, I wonder if he'll reveal something before election day???
    Y'never know, he's probably more insane than Chump is. (a scary thought)

    Now, where's that world's smallest violin???
    It needs playing. :D

    Aileen Cannon-Trump's actions in the documents trial (which should & will be reopened) are enough to keep her off the "assassination"* case.

    NPD Trump saying he's considering her for his AG if he gets elected a second time is clearly reason enough to keep her off the case.

    * I'm adopting GOP/MAGA reasoning :eek::
    Ryan Routh never took a shot,
    therefore he didn't actually
    attempt to assassinate NPD Trump :confused: :rolleyes:.
