That's true. We should defund them and kick their asses out also. [image: 1594328642427-img_20200709_170325.jpg]

@jon-nyc said in Little Sisters Win SCOTUS Battle!!!: Yeah, that’s messed up. Trump doesn’t get to, Trump has to. Just like Biden would. You'd better let Joe know: Biden Says He Would Rescind Exemption for Little Sisters of the Poor Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued a statement Wednesday evening in which he said he is “disappointed in today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision” in the case Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania. “I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the [2014 Supreme Court] Hobby Lobby ruling,” Biden said. The Supreme Court’s Little Sisters decision upheld the Trump administration’s rule exempting conscientious objectors from Obamacare’s birth-control and abortifacient mandate, but the decision did not address whether the mandate is itself a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Here’s Biden’s full statement: Health care is a right that should not be dependent on race, gender, income or zip code. Yet as a result of today’s decision, countless women are at risk of losing access to affordable, preventive care. I am disappointed in today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision that will make it easier for the Trump-Pence Administration to continue to strip health care from women – attempting to carve out broad exemptions to the Affordable Care Act’s commitment to giving all women free access to recommended contraception. As a result of the Affordable Care Act, more than 60 million women – including at least 32 million women of color – gained access to this preventative health care. The Obama-Biden Administration did this while also providing an exemption for houses of worship and an accommodation for nonprofit organizations with religious missions. As disappointing as the Supreme Court’s ruling is, there is a clear path to fixing it: electing a new President who will end Donald Trump’s ceaseless attempts to gut every aspect of the Affordable Care Act. If I am elected, I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the Hobby Lobby ruling: providing an exemption for houses of worship and an accommodation for nonprofit organizations with religious missions. The accommodation will allow women at these organizations to access contraceptive coverage, not through their employer-provided plan, but instead through their insurance company or a third-party administrator. The so-called “accommodation” is the very policy that the Little Sisters of the Poor, an order of Catholic nuns that provide care to the elderly, were fighting in court on the grounds that the policy still required them to violate their moral and religious convictions.

And in seriousness, seems like there would be less of that this time around. At least in swing states. But nevertheless, the real possibility of this so-called preference falsification is what tempers my excitement about the polls this year.

@Loki said in Biden’s MAGA plan: Check out this picture (What does it look like?): https://unionlabel.org/ It looks like cold racists without masks.

@Mik said in Cliff Notes on Things that are Racist: It could happen. George has a Russian kitty. 1st generation American....

15~20 years ago, when only computer nerds listened to music on computers (and we're talking about real desktop/laptop computers, not smartphones/tablets), the "visualizer" was sort of a thing. Popular MP3 player software (including iTunes) shipped with various "visualizer" modules that modulates colorful abstract lines and shapes using the music's being played as input. This is just a newer (and IMO somehow lamer) version of the "visualizer" concept.

It wouldn't have any effect on democrats then because you first have to have a brain to damage...

@Aqua-Letifer He 's just obeying Trump's directive.

@Klaus said in Powerful photo: I tend to agree, but if it's helping her cope with the situation I won't judge her. Some people feel better sharing such stuff. As long as it's not some disgusting narcissistic reason I'm completely okay with it.

Ive got closets bigger than that.


You'll see who's on the right side of history in the coming famine and me with my built-in power packs. My body has stored more calories than you could ever possibly imagine.

@bachophile said in A Shaky Future?: @Axtremus correct but not exactly The mouth and nose and eyes don’t open directly into the skull. But in the base of the skull are numerous foramina (small holes) to allow passage of nerves and blood vessels in and out. So yes it would leak but not through a large orbit or open mouth. Interesting, I looked up the skull’s structure in the “Complete Anatomy” app and I see what you mean. Thanks.

Well, well, well, isn't that a staggering surprise.

@xenon said in Seattle City Councilwoman: @Copper naw, there are problems. Running a small biz is harder. Business formation is down. It’s easier for large companies to capture regulators. There are more parts of the economy becoming “winner takes all” It’s harder to hold down a blue collar job. Things are changing - and this creates resentment which in turn creates political instability. But again - none of the things above require you to tear the system down to tackle. None of that is even remotely true. In fact in every case you mention the law requires equality to be enforced, and it is. The largest corporations in this country are afraid of nothing more than being accused of racism against minorities. And you don't even have to scare them anymore, they are true believers.
