It's not freaking ludicrous, its in line with the vast majority of studies done on the subject.

Please cite such studies, from credible organisations and not some kind of Falwell-adjacent thinktank, that demonstrate that a child is safer being brought up by heterosexual married parents than by heterosexual unmarried parents, or by married homosexual parents.

I’m not sure what’s the problem here but the “takes a village” crack was an obvious and facetious continuation of ons’s post, i.e. if two’s better than one and a three’s better than two…and so on…. capiche?



I did indeed capiche. It was a lazy play on the generic punchline of of a village idiot.

This guy sounds pretty awesome.

I have no idea whether he has a chance of succeeding - the article doesn't exactly ring with optimism - and it would be my guess that if he were elected to the Supreme Court he'd lose a lot of his ability to do the good he's currently doing, but the world definitely needs more people like this sitting in judgement.

Parts of America appeared to be in the middle of a very significant mental health crisis.

Why don't they just skip to the end game and legislate to make voting Democrat illegal?

No, sorry, wait, I thought that was the most stupid thing that Republicans did today, but of course I really shouldn't underestimate the ever increasing depths of stupidity to which Republicans and their voters are willing to dig.

I feel like this quote helps Democrats at least as much as it does Repubicans:

Quote
While not confirming his bid for the White House in 2024, DeSantis has long been thought to be the main challenger to Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination.

In an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, Bush described DeSantis as a "serious contender" in Republican politics who has "shown that Florida can be a model for the future of our country."

I've always said it's in the best interest of humanity to keep Florida from spreading.

“Because the Republican Party of Lee County has no power per so, DeSantis can just ignore it if he chooses.”

Dollar to a stale doughnut this goes nowhere…

Of course it won't, but the fact that they're even doing it as a performative exercise is pretty staggering.

Let's go full France on this one.
There has to be some combination of bad proposed legislation and it getting a certain amount of traction that would trigger a response like that here.

This one will be dead in the water though.
