I haven't checked statistics lately, but love to see a report on the states or localities that approved them fared in the long run. Quote

CMRivdogs Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 It's the effects of Diet Dr Pepper addiction... I don't remember any of these guys asking sentencing questions to Trump's nominees. Probably because none of them had any real life experience. Much like the Senators asking the questions. Quote

People like to rag on Sasse, but that clip of him talking about cameras shows that he's a lot more self-aware about how dysfunctional his body is than almost everyone else in his caucus.

It is very disappointing to read some of the comments attached to the above tweet. The lack of civility in political commentary is appalling. Quote

I wouldn't wish illness or death on anyone, whether I like them or not. Rest up Justice Thomas. Edited March 25, 2022 by Mr.TaterSalad 1 Quote

FWIW, I find the news to be neither bad nor good as I have literally no feelings toward him, the person. I will say that he is a man of 73 years, so whatever happens, that's not a bad run. Quote

I will say that he is a man of 73 years, so whatever happens, that's not a bad run. I share your view that I don't have any feelings about him as a person one way or the other. Usually when elderly public figures, even ones that I liked, reach the end (which he probably hasn't), I typically start reflecting on my own life. When I think of Thomas, I think of 1991 which was a good time in my life. I was at my peak athletically, the Tigers were hitting the ball hard and I had plenty of time to enjoy it! Seriously, that is how I remember him. Strangely, when I think of Anita Hill, I think of my current life since we work in the same department (We have had only a couple of very brief conversations over the years). So, in a way, I associate Thomas with a more youthful time in my life and Hill with my current old age. 😃 1 Quote
buddha Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 all that unnecessary handwringing about her getting confirmed. she was always going to get confirmed unless she said something crazy, which she didnt. i hope corey booker cries fake tears of joy over it. you can always count on corey to be overemotional and ridiculous for the cameras.
