Re: 2022 Elections Thread

Where was the Dem's oppo research prior to the election that they didn't catch Santos in these lies? Both his GOP Primary Opponent and his Democratic opponent did bring up many of the issues, but it was ignored by all the media other than one tiny newspaper. Why should have the mainstream media rep...

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings

Louisiana, like many states, authorize medical procedures to protect the HEALTH of the mother in cases in which carrying a pregnancy to term is "medically futile." Pre-Roe, every state included such a provision within its laws, even in those states where abortion was somewhat restricted o...

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings

Why don't states need a viable alternative? Ok, so states had "trigger laws" that went into effect when Roe v. Wade was overturned. Their shitty implementation doesn't matter or shouldn't be criticized? :suspicious: Not really sure how "states rights" absolves them of criticism....

You guys are comical. My diss on the Triple Crown is that, historically, a player had to lead all of MLB -- not just his league -- to win a Triple Crown. The last real Triple Crown was in 1956. As for Cabrera, he's a great ball player and a first ballot HOFer. He was certainly better than Mattingly ...
