We here in Colorado voted on this (and passed it) a year or two ago.  I was in favor of it.  I would love to be composted when my time comes, spread in a nice vineyard and then have the grapes made into a fine Cabernet or Pinot.  I need to work on the label.  I'll ask my descendants to save you a bottle.

Fair point, but check your keyboard.  You might have more dung beetles than you think!

p.s.  the wine made from grapes grown in my compost is key.  I expect it would be a serious and complex wine.  Full of nuance and intelligence, with insightful high notes and playful undertones.  You would probably not appreciate the nuanced and balanced flavors and bouquet, but hey, maybe you would enjoy the robust earthiness imparted by the terroir.   The label almost writes itself.

This is a good analogy for all of the Woke Racist Democrats who live in Martha's Vineyard

Ok, I'll buy that.  But given that timing why would you make a big deal of my taunt, and add "clueless" to the list of words you use to describe me?  Obviously, in context, you thought that I was taunting you after you replied.  Herb's time stamps and your own admission show that this is not the case.  Look, I know that hell will freeze before you admit that you face-planted here.  Best for you just to move along.

RINO

Posted By James Brown
I'm excited about the Colorado Senate candidacy of Republican Joe O'Dea.  He is running to unseat long time D incumbent Michael Bennet.  You might recall that Democratic operatives bankrolled a hard-core Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate in the primaries.  The people of Colorado saw through it.  

I am very curious what the local Trump supporters are going to do in our Senate election.  Stay home?  Write in a MAGA candidate?  Vote for O'Dea?  One problem for religious conservatives and slavish Trump supporters is that O'Dea is vocally pro-choice.   https://www.joeodea.com/abortion  I reckon that makes him a RINO like me to some, but I guess we will see in November who the real republicans are.

Of course, Bennet and much of the press is spending a lot of time and money trying to smear O'Dea with the typical smears leveled against all republicans this cycle: (Trump-like, fascist, insurrection-supporting, anti-choice, anti-everything-except-white-men scum).  I don't think those smears will stick to O'Dea.  This is the race I will be watching most closely this November.  If Trump's base sits this one out, O'Dea loses.  If Trump's base votes republican, even though they can not be thrilled with all of O'Dea's policies, this could be close because of the economy and the impression many people have of Bennet.

Like I said if you don't like where I'm going, get the f' off of my thread DB.

The facts are the facts and when you can't refute them, you want to play your little accusation games of moving the goalposts because that's all you ever have to claim when you can't come up with a response to knock down the facts I or anyone else has posted.

You don't have the intellectual chops, nor the facts to argue that there isn't a different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats when it comes to the corrupt agencies of Law enforcement.

I put forth many examples and I could give you dozens more such as the fact that there were more than 30 subpoenas issued on a weekend recently and they were ALL for Republicans, NO Democrats, EVER.  

Not only that, the GD corrupt bastards followed around an American citizen named Mike Lindell who owns a pillow factory, and they harassed him and took his personal/business cell phone.  

What was the probable cause for that?  I'll tell you what it was.  They don't give a GD about the Constitution, due process, or the 1st amendment/freedom of speech.

Why the HELL are they following around a regular citizen and what could possibly be on his cell phone that they had to confiscate it?

What about John Eastman? They confiscated his cell phone and they didn't care about atty/client privilege.  They never have since this Garbage AG Merrick Garland has been in charge.  

They also Covered up for Hunter Biden's Laptop making sure they put forth their BS that is only Russian Disinformation campaign to smear Hunter. 

Then the NY Times YOUR favorite paper of record and your Washington Post CONFIRMED that the Laptop was real and that the emails were Hunter Biden's and NOT Russian Disinformation.

Why wasn't Tony Bobulinski investigated by the FBI and interviewed?  He has mountains of evidence that Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden (the Big Guy) were selling access to our enemy, the Chinese Gov't.  He was Hunter Biden's Business partner and he said that they were acting corruptly and he got out of the deals and went to the FBI, but they didn't want to hear anything.

Why isn't Hunter Biden being investigated for his illegal use of drugs and hookers?  There is video of him engaging in criminal activity all over the place.

What about Hunter lying on a Federal application for a firearm?  That's a felony and he did just that.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/04/27/did-hunter-biden-violate-law-in-buying-handgun-3-big-questions/

Here's the PROOF that he lied on his Federal Form to get the firearm:  https://thepostmillennial.com/proof-hunter-biden-lied-to-get-his-gun/

Why did the FBI not go to his home and arrest him for the apparent felony he committed?

What about his illegal weapon dump where his girlfriend took his illegal gun out of his Glove compartment, and pitched that handgun into a trash can?  

How about Mark Zuckerberg telling Joe Rogan that his company Facebook was contacted by the FBI and they told him to squelch any mention of Hunter Biden's laptop BEFORE the 2020 election.

That sounds to me like Election interference by the corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation.  

What happened to due process for Trump and every other person who is associated with him?

When was Huma Abadeen's home raided since she was complicit in the Hillary email scandal and had Classified emails sent to her BY Hilary Clinton.  

Do you want a DOZEN more instances of the Corrupt FBI and their actions towards Repubs, while giving a pass to Democrats?  

We on the right are informed, not ignoramuses like you leftist Democrats.  



 
Careful James, you've got him riled up pretty good - with an assist from Rod in the other thread.  I know it is easy and fun to get Rich into a "frothing at the mouth" rage, but the question we should ask ourselves becomes,  "is it humane?"

Rich, I have read your stuff - far too much of it - for years.  I can tell from the length, tone, and word choice of these recent posts that you are worked up to a dangerous state.  It is easy to see.  I think you know it too.

It is entirely appropriate and one of the bedrock principles of the Constitution that the justices not care about public opinion polling.

Here are some statistics I picked out, but there a lot more that have noting to do with SCOTUS or the overturning of Roe.


  1. Only 1/3 support the overturning of Roe.
  2. The least popular supreme court justices are Barret, Thomas, and Kavanaugh. By a wide margin, too; -12% in the case of Kavanaugh. All the Dem appointees are favorable by at least +13 or better.
  3. 60% disapprove of the way the supreme court is handling its job.
  4. Knowledge of the abortion ruling overturning Roe is very high at 84%.
  5. 64% believe the SCOTUS is a conservative court.
  6. 51% support increasing the number of justices.
  7. The personal importance of the abortion issue is 83%.
  8. People would support a candidate who would protect abortion rights over one who would curtail them by +13%.
  9. 68% support keeping abortion legal in most cases.
  10. 90% support keeping abortion legal for rape and incest.
  11. 76% oppose banning abortion pills.
  12. 82% oppose banning abortion travel across state lines.
Hi James:  I don't think this is surprising.  I am a little surprised and very pleased that only 51% support increasing the number of justices.  Jim

Hi James:

I was struck by the overwhelming negativity of all the poll responses.  Congress and the President do a little worse than the Court.  We are a nation of deep discontent.

Also, I think you overstate the bold part above.  I looked at Kagan and Sotomayor - yes they are popular, but over 50% had never heard of them, or did not have enough info to form an opinion.  In other words, Kagan was 19% favorable to 10% unfavorable.  71% had no opinion!  Kavanaugh was 24/36 favorable to unfavorable.  I think that this particular statistic is warped by the extensive press coverage of the Kavanaugh confirmation and Roe.  

Also interesting.  DeSantis does better than Newsome, and most importantly, this is in a poll where the responses on issues like abortion (as clearly demonstrated above), LBGTQ issues, and the like are fairly liberal.  What do you make of that?

Jim

I get it that you hate Justice Thomas with the passion of 1000 suns, but this comment makes no sense.  No one in their right mind would accuse Thomas of bowing to public opinion.
