When the 'merely wealthy' son of a senator takes great pains to carry water for the uber-wealthy. Add to this, the fact that it is also in direct conflict with the tax proposals of his own father gives a snapshot as to why the legislative changes needed to reform the corporate tax and the non-existent inheritance tax proposals are so difficult to make a reality.

Both abortion and gun rights are constitutional . The abortion rights through the 4th snd 14th amendments and gun rights through the 2nd amendment. It has been how the court has interpreted those amendments that has provided those rights. No where in the constitution does it say individual private citizens have the right to own a gun. No offense but I wish people would stop this nonsense about how abortion rights are not protected constitutionally. It’s like most  have no idea what Roe Vs Wade was about and how it gave women those rights.

 

Newsomes strategy is brilliant and is why gun rights organizations came out against the abortion vigilante law in Texas and sided with abortion rights advocates.

As we enter another anniversary of the horrendous school shooting of first graders at a school in Newtown CT, something has to be done. If it's considered a radical step, so be it. I don't know whether it will be successful, be we can just resign ourselves to the next school shooting.

There won't be elections for another 2 years. Lots can change but if the Tories lose that seat they have held for years, they could dump Johnson.

My question is who would want to be PM. Leading through a pandemic and Brexit would be difficult for someone competent much less a neanderthal like Johnson.

    • BITD I was posting about how interesting it was that Denise had been with this same guy for simply years but they just did not marry - then that year they married! 
    • Random takes from this week: - Bill’s been played way too soft by the actor. I just can’t buy him doing anything truly sinister. I wish he had more of that old-school Victor Newman edge. - On characterization: I’m fine with Leslie being shown as a narcissistic and cruel mother—as long as she doesn’t tip into full cartoon villain territory. Dani’s involvement in Nicole’s storyline feels natural to me, and I really like that Martín is such a hothead, which totally clashes with his polished political career. No wonder no one wants to confide in him. Also, I don’t mind Haley’s characterization at all. - I’m still annoyed they dropped the whole lawsuit storyline. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant about getting too invested in the June plot. Also: I can do without another instant-sibling storyline. - Ashley and Derek? Totally fine with them in small doses. That’s the best way to handle those two. - Thank God Ted is getting recast. I honestly couldn’t handle that constant swaying much longer. - Speaking of Ted: maybe I’m in the minority here, but that hotel set is hideous. The oversized boiserie makes everything look flat, and that artwork on the wall? Bland, ugly, and lifeless. - I’m 50/50 on the product placement. On one hand, it’s totally misplaced and campy—especially when it shows up in the middle of emotional scenes. It just feels wrong. But on the other hand… here we are talking about Febreze and Tide. So maybe it is working? I honestly don’t know. - I don’t have any issues with the fashion on the show overall, but André’s wardrobe is just off. Not in terms of style, but size. His tops are way too tight and actually make him look even shorter than he is. Same goes for Smitty. Both of them would seriously benefit from some larger blazers or chunkier sweaters.

      Didn't know about this song. LOL. Lyrics - Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy They're laughing, just like hungry dogs in the street Policemen are hidin' behind the skirts of little girls Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Catholic school girls have thrown away their mascara They chain themselves to the axles of Big Mack trucks The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels The fat lady laughs, "Gentlemen, start your trucks" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave no, no (Christina) no, no, no, no, no (Come to mother) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... (Christina) Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
