Doesn't work when you and your fetus occupy the same seat.

So a fetus is a life except when the mother is driving?

What BDKJMU said. I was looking at the occupancy side and bet the judge sides the same way.

People like Chizzang wonder why I have a stick up my arse about organic food advocacy, this is it. All you get is more expensive food with no nutritional benefits and very dubious at best environmental impact.

I only buy organic to limit pesticide intake. Usually go off the EWG dirty dozen list. So essentially, I only buy organic apple, strawberries, nectarines and grapes. Everything else is non organic.

I also don't eat or drink from plastic if I can help it!

Interesting.

Well I know how it’ll end. They’ll invade Taiwan.

Are you sobbing because Manchin has doomed the earth?

The earth isn’t doomed.

Manchin is a fine Republican.

Manchin is a fine Republican.

In the same way Liz Cheney is a fine Democrat?

No. She’s a staunch Republican doing her job.

No, in the same way Bernie is a Marxist.

No. She’s a puppet doing what she's told.

Guess there isn't room in the Donk party for free thinking individuals. "Country over party" is obviously a one way street.

Exactly what I expected.

Manchin is a free-thinking individual, willing to buck the party to do what he thinks is right and/or to protect his contributors and constituents. If he isn't a Democrat then it's because the party left him, he didn't leave the party.

Cheney is a neo-con. You could also make the argument that she didn't leave the Republican Party, that it left her. It's now more populist, considerably less civil and less interested in foreign interventions.

A mass shooting you'll hear very little about.

Chief: 3 dead in Indiana mall shooting; witness kills gunman

Police say three people were fatally shot and two were injured at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him

GREENWOOD, Ind. -- Three people were fatally shot and two were injured Sunday evening at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him, police said.

The man entered the Greenwood Park Mall with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and began firing in the food court, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said.

A 22-year-old from nearby Bartholomew County who was legally carrying a firearm at the mall shot and killed the gunman, Ison said at a news conference.

They are both free thinking. That doesn’t mean they’re observing the principles of their party, representing the wishes of their voters, or embracing ethics.

Here’s how a centrist would view Manchin:

Sweet. I’ve got about 500 shares of NVDIA, and it’s up significantly in the past two days…of course, I’ve taken a fucking BEATING on it for the past 4 months.
