Nevada Democrats accused Bernie Sanders’s campaign of inciting violence. And Sanders is hitting back.

For some reason Goldy’s
benefactoremployer saw fit to include a photograph of the entrance to the National Restaurant Association building in a retweeted sidebar piece.http://prospect.org/article/co.....te-economy
Maybe it means they’re rich enough to afford their own building. Maybe it means as anchor tenant they’re allowed to put their name above storefront glass.
Seemed pretty extraneous to me but I’m not a billionaire.
Anyway, that photograph was from 2011.
In 2012 the building was demolished.

“Ark Encounter could generate up to 21,000 jobs for the region over 10 years and up to $4 billion in revenue for Kentucky, according to a 2015 study conducted by a consulting firm hired by Answers in Genesis. … Over the short term, Kirkpatrick expects Ark Encounter to create upwards of 2,000 jobs from the ongoing construction at the park and from a tourism-fueled boost in economic activity.”
Yeah, except you can’t get one of those jobs if you’re Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, or agnostic:
“[C]ritics have attacked Ark Encounter for requiring park employees and job candidates to sign a ‘statement of faith’ affirming belief in the basic tenets of Christianity, a policy disclosed on the park’s website as a condition for employment.”
Roger Rabbit Commentary: If Republicans got their way, every employer in America would be able to require this. In other words, they don’t believe people of other religions have a right to make a living. This is brought to you by the same people who bring you so-called “right to work” laws. “Right to work,” of course, applies only to Christians of northern European ancestry willing to work for $7.25 an hour. Everybody else can fucking starve to death as far as these people are concerned.
@1 Betcha 98% of these chair throwers will vote for Trump in November, which tells you who they really are.
@1-@4 Must not be any sick old people in the Islands this week. Or maybe the doc just got replaced by a robot after screwing up one diagnosis too many.
South Carolina Republicans just gave people one more reason not to live and work there.

@ 6
Betcha a good number of them will. But Oregon’s is a closed primary, so every one who does is a previously registered Democrat, asswipe.
Meanwhile, Kansas Republicans determined to keep American citizens from voting in their own country (because it’s the only way they can win elections) get their asses handed to them by a federal judge.

@6,9
Site wouldn’t let me delete/modify @ 9
I initially thought RR was referring to OR, not NV. Apologies.
@11 Well, let’s talk about Oregon anyway, since your intent is clear. To vote for Bernie in Oregon yesterday, you had to be a “previously registered Democrat” for at least 21 days. Which means any Trump chair thrower who wanted to vote against Hillary could have become a “Democrat” 3 weeks ago. Now, how hard was that?
Reminds me of a joke I heard in college. (NSFW) Guy is hitchhiking on a deserted highway in Arizona. A farmer picks him up and starts talking politics. The hitchhiker says he’s a Democrat. The farmer slams the brakes, opens the door, and kicks the hitchhiker out, snarling, “Son, around here everyone is a Republican! No goddamned Democrat is gonna ride in my truck! Get a fucking clue!” Well, this happens a couple more times, and the hitchhiker is convinced the farmer knew what he was talking about. So when a blonde in a Corvette convertible comes along and picks him up, and the conversation drifts to politics, the hitchhiker nervously assures her that he’s a Republican “just like everyone else around here.” She says, “That’s good, because if you were a Democrat, I’d have to kick you out of my car. What are you so nervous about?” The hitchhiker replies, “It’s very strange. I’ve been a Republican for only 10 minutes. And I already want to fuck somebody.”
And that, kiddies, is today’s lesson about party changers.
@9,
guess I missed the part where chairs were thrown in Oregon.
Or the data array indicating Sanders primary voters in Oregon will either stay home or cross the ballot in November.
Seriously. Oregon? Your desperation must be fucking with the last bits of your brain that haven’t been fried with radiation. Trump wins Oregon in the general. Sure, Boob. Sure.
@11 Well, I know what you mean about this site. HA is continually crashing my Google Chrome. I don’t have this problem with other websites. The HA site must be loaded with spyware, because it looks like about 20 or 30 of them have to open before my computer unfreezes. I wish Goldy could fix that. That might be hard to do, though, because this stuff probably comes from all the scammy ads that support this site. Russian and Chinese girls for dating, and that sort of shit.
@13 Oh, go easy on him this time. He said he made a mistake and tried to delete it. We already know Bickle’s mind is clouded. We also know he’s old, slow, and on the cusp of retirement. He’s entitled to an Alzheimer’s pass now and then. I’m more annoyed by the fact I have to reboot my computer 3 times for every comment I post or edit on HA. Don’t the moderators ever clean the junk off this site? (And don’t anybody try to blame my computer, which was just in the shop and is clean as a whistle.)
HA isn’t the only one having problems. NYSE has suspended trading in 199 ticker symbols because of a “technical” issue. Probably the fucking Russians or fucking Chinese are fucking with the capitalist system, is my guess.
The Trump campaign’s manipulation of media has been very impressive. But given some of the face palming they’ve engaged in on local ground game, maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised if they decided to squander resources in a state like Oregon, but I sure haven’t seen any evidence of it.
One or two big roadside signs by a hay field. Campaign offices in Tigard (?) and Eugene (maybe he’ll make an appearance at OCF!).That’s about it.
Travis @9,
BINGO! R is very senile! Salem has which Oregon university R senile? A private Baptist university. So Baptists for The Bern! Seems these simple facts escape the senile mind of the dumb wabbit!
To vote for Bernie in Oregon yesterday, you had to be a “previously registered Democrat” for at least 21 days.
Wow R senile is giving the average Trump voter credit for intelligence. Remember he recently called them stooooooooopid. So R senile, why the flip flop? Trying to make your silly-ASSed point work?

@14,
AdChoices content is driven by individual meta data. You see ads targeted specifically to you (or your computer) based on tons of relevant (and sometimes not so relevant) data from online purchases, searches, subscriptions, downloads, geographic location, etc.
Some of it is better targeted that others. Some of it is just simply bad marketing by lazy asshats who bamboozle their clients with jargon. For instance, every time I visit NYT I get ads for a Seattle company called Zulily. That’s because about four years ago I did a web search to learn a bit more about one of the founders and his company. He was one of the guys who started Blue Nile. He was touted as a “genius” in e-commerce. His new company, Zulily, is (or was) a “daily deals” internet retailer targeting upscale career mommies with batik print maternity clothes and high tech strollers.
And his marketing campaign targets me. Still. Four years later. He may be a genius. But maybe not so much an e-commerce genius. But it all depends on who you ask.
So if you’re seeing ads for mail order brides its because some shitty algorithm somewhere thinks you’ll be interested. Just like they think I’m interested in high tech nursing jog-bras.
A friend tells me that eating a tablespoon of local honey every day helps alleviate symptoms from pollen allergies.
@18 I was talking about Nevada, you fucking idiot. See #11.
Don’t know why I’m gonna bother. But it just gives some insight into the kind of misinformed douchery that emanates from a Trump voter.
Salem Oregon is the location of Willamette University, which variously competes with Whitman and Reed for the title of “most expensive” private liberal arts university in the PNW. Founded by methodist missionaries in the 1840s, it boasts a pretty decent law school, a well regarded management school, and an international exchange program linked to Japan. It’s located in downtown Salem a few blocks from the state capitol and all the courts and state administrative buildings. Student body generally leans liberal, as much as astonishingly rich kids tend to lean liberal. Put it this way: Seattle Pacific is waaaaay more religious and strict.
I don’t know if there’s a “private baptist university” in Salem (don’t really care). Considering how many private, baptist, liberal arts colleges there are in western Oregon it could be. Practically every fucking town of 25,000 or more in western Oregon has a private liberal arts college. And about half of them are “Baptist”. Which most of the time counts for shit. Since the kids they cater to are usually interested in the “full college experience” which means parties with alcohol. But if there’s a “baptist” college in Salem it’s gonna be pretty small and exert pretty much zero institutional influence. So who knows where that Fuckwad gets this shit. He pulls it outa his ass, and whatever he doesn’t smear all over himself he spits out in these comments. Which is why I’m going back to blocking that shit.
@21 How do you turn that shit off?
@1 someone should probably hit you on the head with a chair – might knock some sense into you.
@25,
if you’re using Chrome you can install an ad-blocker like Adblock Plus. But you should bear in mind that by doing so you’ll be potentially depriving HA of ad revenues that support hosting. So you could install it and at the same time click the donate link and give HA some money to support the site.
As for trying to prevent big data centers from aggregating data associated with your computer’s IP and MAC addresses I don’t think it’s worth the trouble. You could use a proxy server or a VPN which are ways to surf anonymously. But you’ll pay for it not only with a monthly account fee but also with generally slower page loads. Frankly, I’m not the target demographic, and I suspect neither are you. Dump your browser cache (in settings) from time to time. Include cookies and form data but bear in mind you’ll have to re-enter that stuff. Don’t worry about it. It’s the 21st century equivalent of telemarketing. Just hang up.
And the hits for Trump and his taxes keep coming.
In response to<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics....." media questions (why do you say your Golf Course is worth $50million and yet for taxes you swear under penalty of perjury that it is worth $1.35M) the Trump team is revising that figure from $1.35M to $9M for taxation.
I’m not the IRS but that could be willful tax evasion. I mean understating something by 900% seems a little hard to be, oops.
Hey Trolls, wanna lay odds on what happens first? Hillary Clinton indicted for emails or Donald Trump indicted for tax fraud?
George Zimmerman claims he got over $120,000 for the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin. I don’t feel sorry for whoever’s out the $120,000. And to demonstrate what a class act he is, “Zimmerman has since publicly denounced the Martin family and the Black Lives Matter movement that began after the shooting.”
http://www.aol.com/article/201...../21379713/
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Now that Zimmerman is a successful marketer, it’s just a matter of time before the GOP recruits him to run for Congress. Maybe for Allen West’s old seat.

Maybe both events will happen at nearly the same time! We should be so lucky!
After all, the only good thing about Hillary Clinton is that she’s not Donald Trump, and the only good thing about Donald Trump is that he’s not Hillary Clinton.
Bernie Sanders would be better than both of them.

Washington’s “Jefferson Davis Highway,” better known to the public as State Route 99, will be renamed the “Stewart Highway.” Stewart was a black Civil War soldier who is buried in the Grand Army of the Republic cemetery in Snohomish.
Drumpf today identified 11 conservative judges he won’t have an opportunity to appoint to the Supreme Court. I’m more interested in who Hillary’s picks will be. I hope Elizabeth Warren is one of them.
Why Drumpf is now the leader of the Republican Party.
“For a decade, Republican voters have signaled they wanted to protect Medicare, cut immigration, fight fewer wars, and nominate no more Bushes. Their party leaders interpreted those signals as demands to cut Medicare, increase immigration, put boots on the ground in Syria, and nominate another Bush.”

We know exactly how much money Clinton earns and where she earns it from.
We don’t know that about Trump and we never will. He could be taking income from communist Chinese dictators. He could be taking money from pornography. He could be taking money from drug dealers and pimps. He probably is. Since that’s the most logical explanation for his refusal to disclose how much he makes and where he made it.
Of course a DUMMOCRETIN would say something like this… http://www.mediaite.com/online.....omen-vote/

I remember last summer I was sure that Trump’s campaign was a phony grift to pump “conservative” idiots out of money and promote the brand and their expense. I figured there was no way a guy like Trump would ever expose his personal financial details the way Presidential candidates have been expected to for the last half century. Who knows? Maybe that was true and the whole thing just blew up.
Only crooks refuse to disclose how they earned their money. That’s been the standard since the biggest crook of all, Nixon. You’d have to be a gullible twit to put a crook in charge. Or a Republican.
We know exactly how much money Clinton earns and where she earns it from.
Puddy thought the Oregon moron didn’t read PuddyMissives except from his weekend phone. No one else discussed Clinton speech money except Puddy.

Reports are now emerging that some of Trump’s income has come from co-branding licenses in casino businesses featuring child prostitution in emerging eastern European cities.
Also emerging are some old international reports of Trump organization investments in Asian markets, previously divested, that involved widespread child labor in some pretty grim conditions.
One of Trumps 11 SCOTUS picks has been ripping him pretty good on Twitter for the last eight months.
Must be another one of those technical errors.
@43
Hey Liar, Free Beacon.
We are getting drip, drip, drip information that The Donald is defrauding the Government he wants to run.
Feel free to think paid speeches to private companies is the same thing. This is the thing that will take down Hillary, finally, THIS!
Liar.
There’s never been an expectation of Presidential candidates that they would reveal details of private financial transactions, contracts, or fees for services. We got a giant dumpload of Whitewater because of litigation and a Republican Congressional leadership suicide pact. It’s reasonable to draw a line. Just because somebody wants to go into public service, doesn’t mean they should have to forfeit all of their privacy. But nobody is asking Trump to reveal private loan contracts that he’s made, proprietary business arrangements, or private transaction details. He’s just supposed to disclose what’s on a few lines of his taxes. The idea isn’t to learn precisely how a Presidential candidate earned their money. Just how much they earned and who they earned it from. We know from a handful of public records required because of public financial involvement that W got a bunch of daddy’s pal’s money to put together his baseball deal. And we know from a few other pals that they helped set him up in oil before he fucked it all up. But W never had to spill how he’d been maintained in luxury for decades until he decided to go into politics. Just like we never got to find out how 41 was financed by his daddy. That’s always been considered private. Same with Clinton’s speaking contracts. We know who paid her and how much they paid. But we don’t have a “right” to know why they paid her.
All that Free Beacon bullshit is just that. That’s a special standard the freaks want to apply selectively.
Clinton should be required to release transcripts of private transactions only when Trump is. Frankly I don’t need to know how Trump earns his money. I just want to know who he earns money from, who he owes money to, and how much. That’s the normal precedent.
I demand a transcript of Trump’s divorce depositions.
Particularly the pages where Ivana Trump describes the night he beat and raped her.
So, Zimmerman’s used pistol @ 29 is worth as much as a quarter of Roger Rabbit’s stock portfolio.
I don’t know which interpretation of that is more sad.

“By mandating overtime pay at a much higher salary threshold, many small businesses and non-profits will simply be unable to afford skilled workers and be forced to eliminate salaried positions, complete with benefits, altogether.”
Then the positions were bullshit to start. You want to classify a position as exempt it should meet the statutory requirements. Besides the pay threshold there are others. And far too many fuckhead cheap labor employers have winked at them for years. Ignoring the FLSA requirements and simply daring low salaried workers to sue for overtime was a dodge to force desperate people to work weekends and evenings for free.
Fuck that.

“Last week, Public Policy Polling revisited Mr. Drumpf’s attraction to conspiracy theories. Among voters who viewed him favorably, PPP found that 65 percent think President Obama is a Muslim; 59 percent think he was not born in the United States; 27 percent think vaccines cause autism; 24 percent think Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered; and 7 percent think Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy.”
Shorter: Liars tend to believe lies.
Like Boob’s theory about how average Trump primary voters aren’t really wealthier than the overall average of primary voters. They just inflate their income. And they support Trump because he too inflates his income.
This is why I think we should have a death penalty. It shouldn’t be used lightly, or often, but there are times when you just want to kill the fuckers.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/in.....from-jail/
@55 Shows you how careless some people are with money.
@56 I’m with you on this one, Boob. Let’s be practical.
I remember my neighbor down the block when I lived in Seattle with the big “W” bumper sticker on his truck back in 2000. No it was not a “W” for Washington. He was by my casual research far and away the only Bush supporter on the block. Or within a dozen blocks. To me that indicated that he listened to Rushbo, hated taxes (who doesn’t), felt like welfare and unemployment were unfair to him personally, and didn’t want to be scolded by smarty pants know-it-all enviromeddlers about his giant truck. Points of view about political issues. Fairly legit, even if you don’t agree. Respectable.
I think 2016 will be the first time in my adult life when support for a particular candidate will pretty clearly indicate a morally flawed approach to society. It’ll take a ton of work that I really doubt they have the stomach for, if Republicans ever hope to redeem themselves after this.
@61 Anyone who can’t pay $7.25 x 1.5 for overtime shouldn’t be in business. Of course, in the nonprofit sphere, this requirement will eliminate a lot of Noah’s Ark tour guide positions. It’s obviously an Obama plot against religion.

Don’t expect much enforcement. Tons of people in Seattle still aren’t getting the new minimum. The small number who’ve pushed complaints through the City are still waiting.

And I’d have my lawyer serve them the same day.

@72 I have mixed feelings about this. The blue collars lining up behind Trump have legitimate grievances, and have been ignored by both parties. Some of these voters are more respectable than others; that group includes some racists, but not all of them are. The basic problem facing the GOP is they’re a top-down party dominated by billionaire donors and elites who expect the grassroots to dance to their tune, but their goals and policies are fundamentally at odds with the needs and wants of the supporters now rebelling against them. For example, the cheap-labor policies that favor business are bound to lead to conflict with the party’s working-class voters. Trump deftly — and I would argue intelligently — exploited this schism. The GOP poobahs are so out of touch with Middle America they didn’t see him coming or foresee the explosion he has triggered. Trump’s problem is his supporters are outnumbered, and he can’t put together an electoral majority even if the rest of the Republican Party falls in line behind him, as it appears most of them will do.
The morality of voting for Trump is a separate issue. American voters have gotten used to flawed candidates, because respectable people don’t go into politics anymore. That’s what money and negative campaigning have done to our political system. But Trump takes political treachery and smut to a whole new level. He’s getting away with it because our political system is failing the people it’s supposed to serve. The lesson of 1930s Germany is that desperate people will vote for a Hitler if things get bad enough. No political system should have let things get that bad, and the rise of Trumpism signifies just how badly the Republican Party has failed as an institution. Trump is a charlatan for sure, but he’s merely exploiting the conditions that were created by people like Gingrich and Rove who steered American politics on a path of nihilism. It is they whom history should spit on. They are responsible for Trump.
As for Puddy, I’d blame him on his mother, except I’m not so sure he has a mother. He looks more like something that crawled out of a petrie dish. His existence indicates some lab needs better security measures.

The rest of your crap is crap!
@68 The WSJ estimates Drumpf’s 2016 pre-tax income at $160 million based on his FEC filings and other information. Drumpf, of course, disputes this; but if this figure is anywhere near accurate, and Drumpf is worth the $10 billion he claims, then his return on investment is 1.6%. My annualized rate of return so far this year is 7.4%. This means if financial acumen is your litmus test, you should vote for me, not Drumpf, because I’m 4.6 times better at making money than he is.
@86 If blue collars want to vote for the party that supports union-busting, votes against overtime laws and raising the minimum wage, and wants to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, that’s their business. But it appears they’re not entirely stupid, and are hijacking the GOP with the intent of reversing the policies foisted on them by the billionaires and business elites who previously controlled the Republican agenda and turned it into a cheap-labor, worker-exploiting agenda. This should be quite entertaining to watch. I can’t fathom why a stupid shit like you supports the GOP’s racist agenda. You’re stupid, yes, but mere stupidity doesn’t entirely explain it. The logical answer is that you’ve got something psychologically wrong with you.
An EgyptAir A320 with 66 people aboard has gone missing while en route from Paris to Cairo. The plane was inside Egyptian airspace when it disappeared from radar. Also, a B-52 has crashed on takeoff at Guam. Seven people aboard escaped injury, but the plane went up in flames and is a total loss.
@81,
don’t be bamboozled.
The so-called “blue collar” voters lining up behind Trump earn on average more than the average of all voters, and lots more than the average of Democratic voters. Whatever “grievances” they may have arise exclusively from seeing the system of de jure entitlements and privileges dismantled by federal law and by a department of justice finally willing to enforce the law. They are just low enough down on the elevated income scale of Republican voters that their middle class income alone is not enough to fully insulate them from the effects of civil rights law. And that makes them angry. But don’t let yourself be fooled into believing this makes them “working class” and certainly not “victims”. Archie Bunker they most certainly are not. They haven’t fallen behind and they aren’t being left behind. They are just furious that they are no longer entitled to victimize others. Look at the data I linked to above. Economics don’t really motivate this specific subset of Republican voters. Economic issues are not what separates Trump supporters from other Republican primary supporters. These people are averse to non-whites and non-Christians. That is not a morally defensible position to hold in a modern pluralistic society.
Dang. The gas tank is under the 1/4 mark. Time to fill up.

With that discount, we should pay about $1.70 a gallon.

And it’s even sweeter when the trolls are shown to suck so much.
Oh THOSE GAS PRICES! HAHAHAHAHA!
Both 81 and 90 are truthful views into the republican demographic, just not the same groups. Why either or, why not both.
Obama is an amazingly good president. America is so much better off because we elected him. Twice.
81 & 90. The obvious follow on question, if you were in charge of the Democratic party, what policies would you enact to appeal to those voters while still staying true to progressive values?
Ah, religion.
The schizo community must be so proud of being the primary source of fresh baby meat to child molesters. A Church is the best place for pedophiles to find their victims and is certainly the easiest place to convince little Suzy or Tommy to shuck his pants for Jesus.
A child is certainly much more likely to be raped in a Church, by several orders of magnitude, than a public restroom.
But, as the Republicans will tell you, until they’re all purple faced with their eyes bugging (or is it buggering?) out of their heads, you gotta fear da Queers! They’ze always near! Lurking around every corner in every public restroom dressed up like Mrs. Doubtfire, with their beady little eyes always searching and just itching to get their sweaty hands on other people’s babies.
No wonder the Rightists want to carry guns in Church. They need them to protect their pastors in case the Police come.
Yes vomit producer there are bad apples everywhere. Puddy identified the latest DUMMOCRETIN bad apple in Congress. As Jesus said in Matt 13:25, the enemy Satan (your best bud) planted weeds while the farmer slept. Satan plants people who say they are Christians but not in deed or thought in the church.

No, they’re meant to cause further damage to Hillary Clinton.
Hastert became speaker a month after the House impeachment vote.
Other than those two errors, you’re spot-on.
“Hastert became speaker a month after the House impeachment vote.”
Smooth move. No, really. After a couple of fidelity-challenged Speakers accused our president of infidelity, you guys come up with a pedophile to do your dirty work. But seeing as how the rest of the Republicans in the House fucked goats, that was probably the best move available to you.

@92 and 94,
There’s not much evidence that “aggrieved” “blue collar” “working poor” whites turn out to vote in Republican primaries more than in Democratic primaries, which is to say not much. And of those who do turn out in Republican primaries the data indicates they have not been drawn to Trump’s campaign more than the other Republican candidates. Two exceptions were Cruz and Carson. They tended to draw lower income evangelicals who attend church weekly when compared to Trump. But the data on Carson is scant.
I’m not arguing identity politics here. Trump and the media are. I’m not suggesting that poor white people facing economic uncertainty, community and family disruption, and the systematic dismantling of the social safety net that they depend upon should be abandoned by anybody, least of all Democrats and progressives. If by some strange miracle establishment Republicans (and at this point that would include Donald Trump) wake up in the next six months and discover that they actually care about helping poor people out, I’d be delighted by that news. But that isn’t happening. What little Trump indicated about an interest in helping out poor people he is right now in the process of rapidly walking back in order to appease the big money donors. Meanwhile Zombie Eyed Granny Starver remains the Speaker and self-appointed “intellectual soul of the Republican Party”. They still insist on emptying out the Social Security trust fund and handing it over to Wall Street hedge fund managers. They still insist on shifting the tax burden onto future generations of working poor. They still insist on giving poor unskilled uneducated whites no options but to volunteer to fight for oil overseas. They still insist on blaming the poor for being poor. Etc. Big fucking etc. And Trump wouldn’t change any of that. He’d just make a lot of other things much much worse.
I simply refuse to go along with the false narrative. It’s bullshit. Bullshit that poor people have any sort of special affinity for the greedy tin siding salesmen who run the Republican Party other than race. Bullshit that electing a monstrosity like Donald Trump would help them in any way. Hardly.
There is no racial equivalency here. Opposing decades of discrimination and white privilege in order to give women and minorities an equal footing with white men is not “equivalent” to baiting and pitting those same white men against the oppressed for political advantage. Do Democrats gain political advantage by advocating for minorities and women? Hell yes. That’s doing the right thing. And that’s what upsets Trump voters so much.
This should cheer the hate-filled pedophile loon up. If there’s anything the self-loathing black loon loves more than fucking goats and children it’s seeing a white racist man hating on grieving black families and their slain children.

Girding themselves for their moral crusade against blowjobs, House Republicans purged the ranks of their leadership and searched high and low to find their moral standard bearer.

He was the best they could find. And it showed that Republicans still had moral values of a sort and where they draw the line- getting blown by children trumps blowing goats.

Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, Republicans are passing make-work bills to keep the Supreme Court employed:
“Oklahoma lawmakers have moved to effectively ban abortion in their state by making it a felony for doctors to perform the procedure, an effort the bill’s sponsor said Thursday is aimed at ultimately overturning the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: This actually makes a certain amount of tactical sense. The idea is to pass a law in such blatant violation of Roe v. Wade that you’re guaranteed to get it struck down in the courts. That opoens an avenue to SCOTUS, which you hope will overturn RvW. This possibly might have worked while Scalia was alive, although that’s doubtful, but doing it now is betting that Trump will win and appoint several anti-abortion justices whom the Senate will confirm. Seems like a stretch to me. Or maybe I’m overthinking this and the Oklahoma legislators who voted for this bill are merely being assholes.

option 3:
Like many modern “conservatives” OK Republicans own or are invested in businesses that grift off of ginned up “outrage”. During a Presidential election year Congressional Republicans have to cool it for the sake of the nominee. So the lifting falls to the state legislatures in places like Kansas and Oklahoma.
Passage and signing of such bills are promoted as “milestone accomplishments” to the Xtian Taliban. Fund raising appeals to follow. Later the inevitable court decisions striking down the blatantly unconstitutional bullshit are promoted as “outrageous judicial activism”. More fund raising appeals follow.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

@132 Squid ink.
@134 One squirt wasn’t enough.
“Squid ink”
A bunch of unintelligible gibberish closing with the usual cut & paste head explosion spam, no doubt.
Last week I posted a lengthy comment arguing that China is planning for war against the United States, and we’re not ready for it. That time may not be far off; the evidence is growing that Beijing, under new management, has an itchy trigger finger.
“China’s attempts to claim a nearly 1.4-million-square-mile swathe of open ocean are without precedent and probably without legal merit, but Beijing continues to assert its right to the economically critical zone — and increasingly puts its claims in military terms.
“Speaking to a small group of reporters in Beijing on Thursday, a high-ranking Chinese official made his warning clear: The United States should not provoke China in the South China Sea without expecting retaliation.”
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/19.....a-sea.html
Retaliation? For what? “Provoking” China by flying in international airspace and sailing in international waters? Should we refrain just because China claims it owns the whole damn ocean?
“Two Chinese fighter jets on Tuesday intercepted and passed within 50 feet of a U.S. military reconnaissance plane.”
Tuesday. Day before yesterday. And these incidents are becoming common. What happens when — not if, but when — the Chinese shoot down a U.S. recon plane? Or fire anti-ship missiles at an American aircraft carrier?
“The South China Sea for years has been a point of contention for bordering nations … but in recent years has become a larger nexus of disagreement as China has unilaterally declared the region its own.
“China’s fishing fleet, the world’s biggest, operates increasingly within the legally exclusive zones of Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and other countries.
“A tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague is expected to rule in the next couple months on China’s expansive territorial claims, though China has already rejected those proceedings.”
This is naked aggression in the form of territorial conquest, pure and simple. The U.S. and its allies can’t give in to it. Not only because the South China Sea is important in and of itself, but because the precedent it would set — allowing a belligerent country to close off to others millions of square miles of ocean by making threats — would invite global conflict.
Unlike many liberals, I believe the U.S. must spend more, not less, on defense to beef up its readiness to meet this Chinese aggression. I also think we should reconsider our practice of educating young Chinese in our universities — so they can go home and use the engineering and computer skills they acquired from us to design and build weaponry to use against us. And we should stop sending them our money. When you buy “Made in China” goods, you’re not only buying crap, you’re also giving China the financial wherewithal to arm against us. They’re using our money to buy anti-ship missiles, submarines, stealth fighters, and weapons capable of disabling our satellites. Those aren’t the actions of a peaceful nation.
