  1. As always, the devil is in the details. How do you give people options and protect them at the same time. For starters, I don't think MAID should be "offered" to anyone, it should be up to them to ask for it and go from there.
  2. This is a topic worthy of discussion. Too bad it was presented as though the Cabinet had some sort of Wannsee Conference and decided to exterminate all the mentally ill.
  3. Pure partizanship is always easier than struggling with the actual questions involved, it makes thinking unnecessary. Whatever happened to "my body, my choice". Seems like you would put limits on that, so let's discuss them.
  4. Tough subject and a good article if you bother to read all of it. So many questions. We have a medial system that is struggling and patients can wait for months or years for treatment. Mental health is no different. One statement jumped out at me. Whether psychiatrists will "give up" is debatable and will depend on their own ethics but it is hard to argue with the first part. The Dutch seem to have gotten it right if that is possible. Even though they have MAID for mental health, their bar is high and only about 10% of applicants are actually approved for it.
  5. You are so rapped up in your culture wars you are incapable of believing people can compromise and actually get things done. As far as taxpayer dollars are concerned, debt has increased under Republican presidents far more than under Democrats since WW2.
  6. Not going to happen. This election was a message to both sides. Quit f***ing around and get to work. Obviously you are too thick to get the message.
  7. Yup. Only elections Republicans lose are rigged. The ones they win are legit.
  8. No doubt Ukrainians are very familiar with Ukrainian winters.
  9. DoP loves to quote history but clearly has learned nothing from it.
  10. Actually it is the other way around, that is why there was no red wave. Bout time you guys started dealing with reality.
  11. Hobbs has nothing to do with counting ballots. That was confirmed by the head of the head of the Board of Election Supervisors for Maricopa County. A Republican.
  12. Roosevelt was the highest in percentage of debt increase but he had the Great Depression and WW2 to contend with. He also served three terms.
  13. Reagan increased the debt by 186%, more than any president since WW2. GW Bush was second at 105%.
  14. Actually counting votes is an inconvenience.
  15. Favourite line last night was from Colbert. Washington post said red wave turned into the pink ripple. That's what you get when you wash your MAGA hat with your Klan robe. Clinton ran surpluses four years in a row. 1998 to 2001.
  16. The grapes are very sour this morning. Oprah made OZ and even she realized what a fake he is.
  17. The failure of MAGA and the red wave says people think elections do matter.
  18. Someone needs to rename this topic or just bin it. It stopped being about US politics and became just another anti vax thread a long time ago.
  19. Trump is a Boomer. He now lives in Florida because he is so disliked in New York.
  20. The Global article said Trudeau was briefed on this back in January. Nine months later he admits to it only after this article was released?
