Democrats are never going to kill the golden goose. The Roe leak alone made them $80,000,000 in contributions. Being anti-choice accomplishes the same objective for Republicans: lots and lots of money, money that candidates can legally pay themselves by making loans to their campaigns at 20% interest.
Senator Kennedy died and Obama lost his seat to a republican. It came down to Senator Lieberman, who was deep in insurance company pockets, as several were headquartered in his state. He killed single payer, not obama.
Obamas fuck up was doing things “the right way” by negotiating with the GOP for nearly a year, only to have every single one of them vote nea. His second fuck up was waiting until the special election of Kennedy’s replacement was over instead of just going ham and forcing a vote.
His third and more esoteric fuck up for single payer was years later, when he did not decalre that the senate had opted to abandon its right to “affirm and assent” a supreme court justice, and just flat out seat Justice Merrick, forcing a constitutional crisis that would have most likely resolved in locking down that seat.
So yes, big pharma was a big part of the fuck you that happened , but it wasn’t as simple as “obama big pharma buddy buddy.”
So, so many voters in absolute denial here. We could have real change if the 49% that votes Democrat voted Green instead. The Greens would actually try to get you legal abortion at the federal level, too.
Meyer reported last week that Marion restaurant owner Kari Newell had kicked newspaper staff out of a public forum with LaTurner[US rep], whose staff was apologetic. Newell responded to Meyer’s reporting with hostile comments on her personal Facebook page. A confidential source contacted the newspaper, Meyer said, and provided evidence that Newell had been convicted of drunken driving and continued to use her vehicle without a driver’s license. The criminal record could jeopardize her efforts to obtain a liquor license for her catering business.
So, the beef was that they posted an unflattering- but true- article about somebody that was hosting a thing for a politician. Gotcha.
The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead. Viar didn’t respond to a request to comment for this story or explain why she would authorize a potentially illegal raid.
The answer is obvious, isn’t it? politicians leaning on judges to protect supporters from criminal action.
“Many companies are realizing they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making big, bold, very controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data,” Larry Gadea, Envoy’s CEO and founder, tells CNBC Make It.
“And to be clear, we are only talking about this one very very very specific thing, and not the 5000 other mandates that come down from the top each week.”
Not for the thumbnail, but I tried accessing the article to read it and it's just a continuous loop of asking me to prove I'm not a robot. What's up with that? I swear I'm not a robot, but it never accepts my answer and just asks over and over instead.
The article ends with this? Is it a hint at twitter employees to do like what that truth social employee did here, especially next year?
Twitter, now known as X, made the decision because it feared Trump might incite further violence on the heels of the Capitol riot by a mob of his supporters two days earlier.
It’s so sad that red states create these policies just to undermine their own population. All this will do is create brain drain. If you’re a bus driver or teacher in Kentucky you can make way more money in blue states. Why stay? I know you love your community, but they don’t love you.
I believe they gave a consulting firm $200k to come up with the plan that failed. They tried to get away with fewer busses and drivers because they didn’t raise wages enough.
They literally tried everything except paying drivers what they need. Now they’re fucked.
Bullshit. I’m in a blue state and there are so few drivers that the busses alternate routes weekly… Every other week there’s no bus for a route. Parents are stuck driving their kids to school and picking them up.
Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
John 8:44You are of your father, the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
1 John 4:1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Matthew 24:1-51Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray….
Luke 21:8And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.
Matthew 7:13-14Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Romans 16:18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive
2 Corinthians 11:14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
1 John 2:19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
