"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a conservative non-profit association founded in 1944. The group was reported to have about 5,000 members in 2014. The association has promoted a range of scientifically discredited hypotheses, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, and that there is a causal relationship between vaccines and autism. It is opposed to the Affordable Care Act and other forms of universal health insurance." Quoth Wikipedia

I remembered the elderly protester in Buffalo who was shoved by police, so I looked him up and he's gotten mostly better, can walk, etc. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/08/31/buffalo-man-martin-gugino-talks-recovery-after-police-shoved-him/3445610001/ Some decently good news for today.

Kaiju Cage Match posted:Obama appointed James Comey as head of the FBI and well...look where that got us. He also nominated Ray LaHood for Secretary of Transport for his first term. Guy was a GOP Congressman for like 7 terms. Apparently he liked trains. In short, saying you will consider qualified nominees from the other party is totally normal, and having conniptions about it is ignorant of history. But given the increasing influx of unstable minds to this thread to screech about their mental states, I suppose it's inevitable. Can we call them 'banshees' or something?

Wait, Cecilia Munoz is this person? "Before working for the White House, she was Senior Vice President for the Office of Research, Advocacy and Legislation at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest Latino advocacy organization in the United States. At NCLR, she supervised all legislative and advocacy activities conducted by NCLR policy staff. She was also the Chair of the Board of the Center for Community Change and served on the U.S. Programs Board of the Open Society Institute and on the boards of directors of the Atlantic Philanthropies and the National Immigration Forum. In 2000, she was named a MacArthur Fellow for her work on civil rights and immigration." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilia_Mu%C3%B1oz

A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/axcomrade/status/1326764151193165824 No, you just made that up in your head. "CECILIA MUNOZ: The reform didn't happen because it requires action on the part of the Congress of the united States, which did not take it up. But he's going to keep at it until we find the partners we need in the Congress to get this job done." Some posters sure seem allergic to checking sources around here.

A big flaming stink posted:she is on video giving a full-throated defense of her office using the funding provided to it in order to deport as many people as possible. are you saying that she did not think it was good and proper for her office to do such a thing (a more decorous way of saying cool and good, if you will)? I gave you another quote from the same program which shows you’re wrong. Do your own homework next time. Stop moving goalposts, too - you said “cool and good”.

Marx Was A Lib posted:yeah i really have a hard time parsing "actually he's a deeply religious man" as a good thing Well, okay, but you're just revealing your own intolerance. Many on the left hold deep religious faith. Off the top of my head, thinking of leftist Catholics, is Dorothy Day simply too religious for you to accept? Kropotkin: quote:Timid, at the outset, Socialism spoke at first in the name of Christian sentiment and morality: men profoundly imbued with the moral principles of Christianity – principles which it possesses in common with all other religions – came forward and said – “A Christian has no right to exploit his brethren!”

Shageletic posted:Its kinda getting pretty ridiculous to discount 1 trillion dollars as nothing. But regardless, that's not my point. My point is that was the starting point for Republicans in the Senate. 1.8 trillion offered by Mnuchin. Theres room here for real good, that Pelosi didnt agree to while alot of ppl will be suffering this winter. So basically, in your world, nobody is responsible for anything here except Nancy Pelosi. That she should have just instantly caved to Mnuchin. And that if she had, McConnell would have been instantly forced to pass whatever the White House put forward. You don't give a hoot about what other toxic poo poo was in the Mnuchin proposal though. And you seem taken aback that most everyone else posting here think your analysis is basically ignoring reality? McConnell has had zero issues ignoring the White House in the past. I mean it's basically "gently caress you, want mine.". gently caress liability for businesses, gently caress giving the states money, let Mnuchin dole it out to GOP cronies.

The question of evil raises its hornéd head in the thread. One aspect to consider is that people are very good at justifying moral and ethical decisions they make. Few people get up in the morning saying, “today, I shall do evil!” I agree that every U.S. president has done acts that everyone here thinks are abhorrent, in carrying out the office. But they could probably justify why quite a few of them seemed necessary. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were attacks on civilian targets, to me now, clearly crimes against humanity. But it ended the war in days. I don’t know how to break the cycle. Presidents grow into being Presidents. Power corrupts. Maybe it’s built in to the office - what crimes would Bernie have committed, because he would have.
