@Timcast I’d prefer she stay and show it’s not getting to her. That is a great way to shut it down.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
And if it is more than she can handle she should step down. Put someone in there who won’t fold and will stand strong & fight back (where applicable).
The ending of Luke 16:19-31 never used to make sense to me. Would the man’s brothers truly not even listen to the warnings of a man resurrected from the dead?
After the last ten years or so, I get it now.
@oldgrossdude@theblaze And they compound the cringe when they stumble during it, mispronouncing words or saying the wrong word before “correcting” back to what is written, and it becomes obvious they didn’t even give it a once-over before publicly reading. World War Eleven on a loop 🔁.
@nedryun@BWLH_ Agree. There is some honor to be had in saying one is not up for this type of challenge and making room for someone who is. No honor found staying in and continuously making bad decisions because of the inability to overcome the fear.
Amy Coney Barrett’s record tells a troubling story.
Before Dobbs, she voted with the conservative position in 81% of non-unanimous cases. Since then, that number has dropped sharply into the 50–60% range in subsequent terms — including on major cases involving birthright citizenship, election procedures, and administrative power, where she has sided with Chief Justice Roberts and the liberals.
The Dobbs leak triggered violent threats and protests aimed directly at Supreme Court justices. If the threat of violence or intimidation can move a justice’s votes on foundational issues, we have a constitutional crisis on our hands. Judicial independence is not optional — it is the foundation of the rule of law. When justices appear to bend under pressure, public trust collapses and the entire system is at risk.
This cannot be allowed to stand. Threats against the Court must be met with zero tolerance, full investigations, and real consequences — no matter who makes them. Anything less is an attack on self-government itself.
And strangely enough if a person tells me they have a dog & immediately, unprompted, say how loving/gentle their dog is with their kids I know it’s a pitbull before they even give the breed. Don’t hear it from owners of other breeds & never felt compelled to say that with any of ours.
The general public has no clue how dangerous “regular” people can become. A supposed dullard who has time on his hands and becomes obsessed is capable of surprising brilliance to satisfy his desire.
Here’s a phrase plenty of cops have said at many different types of crime scenes: “Imagine what he could’ve accomplished if he put that ingenuity towards something good.”
@SteveDeaceShow To some degree have to tip the hat to them. When the reception hall gave them the initial itemized invoice they could legitimately say we don’t pay you to take our garbage, people pay us to take it.
@HafeedAleppo@uniquemoviemom I think just Bender’s design and running people over. Maybe the engine sound. In the movie the car didn’t shapeshift, it was possessed.
