Response to 3catwoman3 (Original post) Fri May 12, 2023, 04:34 PM 4. NO ONE... you cannot reel in a Malignant Narcissist. They do not take advice from ANYONE....They believe they are incapable of mistakes.... They simply refuse to believe anything anyone else says. They do not even take advice from their doctors. They believe they know better than even them.... I don't know how to describe a Malignant Narcissist better. How to describe what it is like to be around them.

Response to Kingofalldems (Original post) Sat Mar 18, 2023, 02:30 PM 15. The judge best slap a gag order on him, but unfortunately he has many disciples who will incite the MAGats for him. I still would like to see him with a gag order. Yet, then we'd hear about his First Amendment rights being violated, even though untrue. He is such a victim -- Bigly!

21 South Carolina GOP Lawmakers Propose Death Penalty for Women Who Have Abortions
MEMBERS OF THE South Carolina State House are considering a bill that would make a woman who has an abortion in the state eligible for the death penalty. The “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023” would amend the state’s code of laws, redefining “person” to include a fertilized egg at the point of conception, affording that zygote “equal protection under the homicide laws of the state” — up to and including the ultimate punishment: death. The bill was authored by Rep.

I am Baked Potato. I am back with an explanation and an introduction I never made. Some of you may remember me, and some will remember I made a posting which I indicated was going to be my last here on DU. I know I will take a hit on my reputation and I fully understand. There were some who suggested I just take a break and come back later. In hindsight, that was some good advice which I shouldíve heeded. I really appreciate you all, most of whom I consider my giant extended family.
The Puzzling Gap Between How Old You Are And How Old You Think You Are
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/04/subjective-age-how-old-you-feel-difference/673086/ No paywall https://archive.is/AvNM4 This past thanksgiving, I asked my mother how old she was in her head. She didn’t pause, didn’t look up, didn’t even ask me to repeat the question, which would have been natural, given that it was both syntactically awkward and a little odd. We were in my brother’s dining room, setting the table. My mother folded another napkin. “Forty-five,” she said. She is 76.

The G.O.P. Plot Against Medicare and Social Security
Response to applegrove (Original post) Fri Nov 4, 2022, 02:44 AM 9. The rich want Social Security and Medicare on the stock market, while the GOP don't want to pay back the debt owed to Social Security funds that they robbed for tax breaks and war Profiteering. Basically, they see it as Free Money they don't think those "lesser workers" deserve, since most people nowadays can't afford to put money aside to save for their old age.

Pennsylvania man arrested for threatening to "slaughter" FBI
Response to Baked Potato (Reply #19) Tue Aug 16, 2022, 01:26 AM 30. Yeah? We wrote leaflets There was a hell of a lot of juvenile bullshit in them, too. We also made some colossally boneheaded choices, those were peak drug experimentation years and a few of us didn't live through them. No, what is new is the degree of terror feeding rage feeding more terror and all of it orchestrated and well funded at the top. They are going to start to burn out emotionally.
Pelosi lands in Taiwan, defying Chinese warnings of forceful response
Response to MerryHolidays (Reply #3) Wed Aug 3, 2022, 03:07 AM 65. It's because China is growing more and more aggressive... China has changed and pushes the boundaries more and more, expecting weakness and capitulation from those it challenges. They've taken over Hong Kong, have staged dangerous interceptions of Australian and Canadian warships in international waters, have challenged Japanese sovereignty over some of their outlying islands, and generelly been dicks and bullies.

And I hope that the members of the Jury find that fake news/fox news deliberately manipulated the news to gen up ratings even though the news was fake. I hope then that the Jury award massive punitive damages on top of the initial award too. Hurt faux / fox news where it hurts, in their pocketbook.

The Oath Keepers will tell a jury they really believed Donald Trump would turn them into his own, pe
Response to Johnny2X2X (Reply #3) Fri Jul 1, 2022, 09:46 AM 17. They probably also thought that taking over the Capitol would be easy with Trump at the front. Had Trump led the group, the Capitol police would have let him in, along with all his followers, and they would then have proceeded to commit mayhem while the Secret Service whisked Trump to safety.
Screams, threats as New Mexico counties try to certify vote
Response to NJCher (Reply #50) Sun Jun 19, 2022, 12:29 AM 56. That's exactly correct... Due to their neural architecture, conservatives are wired for pre-civilization survival. Back when fear was our greatest tool for survival, imagination was something of a hinderance. Abstract concepts or knowing the orbital mechanics of planets didn't put 'food on the family', so they weren't only superfluous, but spending even a minute thinking of such things was a liability.

My Congress-asshole, Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) Co-sponsored this bill in the House and then *voted against it.* That’s right, he voted against his own bill.

Pennsylvania GOP candidate for governor scrubs abortion opposition from campaign website
Response to Demovictory9 (Original post) Tue May 3, 2022, 06:12 PM 9. Mastriano knows which way the wind is blowing I hate this guy, make no mistake. But at least he understands that the availability of legal abortions will never change in Pennsylvania - no matter WHO becomes our next Governor. Maybe he's decided he doesn't need the RWNJ votes. Or maybe he thinks he's already got them, no matter what.

What I saw yesterday was absolutely insane and pathetic disregard...
Fri Apr 8, 2022, 06:11 AM imanamerican63 (11,235 posts) to our country, democracy, Justice Brown Jackson. To watch the majority of the Republicans walk out of the Senate after the confirmation votes were tallied was astonishing. I can not recall the Democrats doing this ever and wtf, they could have done that after Kavanaugh was confirmed. But they had pride and the graciousness not to. History was made yesterday and yet again the GOBers will be on the wrong side of history.
