@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 I so agree.

Whatever happened to common sense one person’s rights end where another person’s begin?

1A freedom of religion means for each person individually - it was ever intended one person or one religion force their beliefs on others.

Pilgrims escaped persecution of ...
@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... Church of England which COULD persecute because it was part of the state.

We became independent because we did not want a king like England ( one man rule ) or any one religion forced on us ( Church of England take it or suffer consequences).

No religious declaration is...
@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... is required to be President or any other government official - separation of church and state. “So help me God” heard after oath sometimes is not required nor is Bible ( FDR was sworn in once without one ) -any book of beliefs may be used or no at all. “Swear” or “affirm” ...
@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... is the choice after “I” in the oath another clue you are not required to swear to God you can affirm on your personal honor. Either way what counts is your oath is honest not disingenuous. In Trump’s impeachment trial Graham bragged he “no intention” of being “impartial”...
@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... which is exactly what the solemn oath ( a second oath Senators are required to take to the Constitution ) mandated by Constitution requires. Graham nevertheless took the oath he said he would not follow. Did he have his fingers crossed behind his back so his “honor” ...
@BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... did not count or did he swear on a Bible-maybe adding “so help me God.”

So help me, Ken, these hypocritical disingenuous GOP Senators need voted out of office each and every one.

If Graham did swear falsely on a Bible God may have a word with him later but I’ve said enough.

@ksorbs Respectfully, good question. The answer at its heart is that government needs to print money for business and society to function combined with society and business needs government to function. But you’ve hit on something with why do YOU pay taxes if government can …
@ksorbs …print $. You pay everything - not just your taxes - with $. We’re not a barter society. If you bought a car with something more real than paper money or a personal check or a plastic card and paid with something more real what would it be? Corn? Chickens? Who would accept it?
@ksorbs “Printed money” especially United States printed money is just a promise government will back it but that promise is strongest in the world. I don’t follow you but your name and tweets appear in my timeline when one of my followers responds to you. We need taxes to help to …

@DanRather TFG admin reversed Obama era coal emission standards despite their own scientists saying that would result in 1400 more premature (virtually state aborted) a year. For what p? No new coal plants. Fewer jobs. Failing industry. Pollution kills people not just plants. Now TFG …
@DanRather … Federalist Society chosen alt right a Supreme Court judges ( one of them sitting in a seat stolen from Obama’s Garland ) have the audacity to suggest environmental decisions should be made by elected officials not “bureaucrats.” Three of them were appointed by TFG who lost …
@DanRather … popular vote one of them where Garland should have been put for Obama who won the popular vote. Regardless their decision does not address environment at all just process and powers of EPA literally tying EPA’s ( the experts ) hands behind their backs. Very similar argument…

This is long abandoned coal fired power plant near river where I fish. Why abandoned besides being old? My guess would be it simply could not compete with natural gas economically or in terms of environmental protection. What’s it got to do with today’s GOP Supreme Court …
… decision? This particular plant maybe nothing but plants like it polluted heavily causing injuries and deaths so Obama put in stricter coal emission standards. TFG admin rolled back these Obama era coal emission standards despite its own scientists saying that would lead …
… to 1400 more premature deaths per year - but TFG rolled back anyway and people out of sight died - not all were old and of course COVID causing more lung problems increased those numbers of deaths. Why? To “save” coal industry and jobs? No new coal plants. Fewer jobs.

1. Jake Tapper after saying not just republicans have used misinformation gave irrelevant misleading ( in my opinion ) example of misinformation case of cancer cure long ago widely believed to work that was just as ineffective as ivermectin for Covid. For one thing false hope …
2. … for cancer cure was not politicized. It was more just false hope for difficult problem. Tapper’s point was we should “blame” the spreaders of misinformation for politics or profit or control or whatever not the uninformed. In general good point but TFG saying if he shot …
3. … someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue his followers would still follow him is not about uninformed followers or “blame.” Shooting someone as he described is a crime and his followers - all of them I believe - know it is a crime. They ( followers of TFG ) are accomplices…

@SherylNYT @maureendowd Afghanistan situation now not about Obama or Trump or Biden but about “will” - not theirs - Dowd’s. We know their armed forces haven’t shown “will” to fight despite having means. Is Dowd suggesting Biden or America as a whole is Antoinetting AFGH interpreters and Americans in …
@SherylNYT @maureendowd … danger still there? I don’t know. The pay wall will not let me see. I don’t think Dowd can see either if that’s what she’s suggesting because of some kind of personal prejudice or politics. To me the Taliban is a danger to AFGH body politic as Covid is to our bodies. Trump …
@SherylNYT @maureendowd … more than underestimated a Covid saying it was no worse than flu and would go away in fifteen days true enough in some ways not unlike Biden guesstimating IF Taliban did take over it would take months and he had time. More than WWII’s combat deaths were caused by TFG …

Listening to acquaintances say Biden opened border & that’s where COVID is coming from & Florida’s doing fine with COVID & welfare people aren’t taking open jobs because they get “free” money more draining than the heat. Telling me facts I mention are not true is disappointing.
Disappointing because when I say they ARE true they respond “I don’t believe that.”
It was like flower after “alternate facts” flower opening in a MAGA garden of misinformation and outright lies taken as gospel. If I had hours and they would listen for hours I think they ...
... might get how outright wrong let alone stereotyped and lacking context what some of what they’re saying is. But their lock step story Pavlovian conditioned & accepted by millions albeit minority millions with “what abouts” out of context of subject at hand they’ve become ...
