I agree we're fragmented but I'm not sure it's into two red and blue halves. A significant percentage of the voting public are registered as independents; not affiliated with either party by choice. Labeling anyone as right or left, conservative or liberal, red or blue is problematic. While it...

Thank you, LDB. Using your scale, at what point in American history was the highest number achieved? At that time, what were we doing as a country to achieve our top score?

In this thread, I'm not asking what other people see and believe. In an effort to better understand, I'm asking what YOU see and believe. Above, did I accurately state YOUR views? Do I have that right or wrong?

That tells me nothing about the views I'm asking you to share. All you ever do is talk about how the other side is wrong.

Tell me if I have this right or correct me if I'm wrong. The world is divided into people on the left and the right. There are no independent thinkers or actors. There are only the red and blue tribes and an individuals' role is to defend one's tribe and humiliate, defeat, and/or destroy the...

That's an interesting question that would require research to answer. One thought is on the political cases (vs. civil business cases), where Trump cannot intimidate his litigation opponents by wearing them down with legal delays and expenses, Trump loses most of the time. That's not because he...

In this case, the court is in a blue zip code and the case has a red judge. So does one factor outweigh the other? How can two opposite factors produce one outcome?

I think he was busy on his book tour and Washington trip to court endorsements (returned empty handed). And, by the way, Mr. DeSantis, if you are going to court endorsements, it helps to officially enter the race.

So it's not about zip code after all? It's about who appointed the judge?

The DeSantis v. Disney Rounds It seems the DeSantis/Disney feud did not end when DeSantis had his legislative buddies pass the Reedy Creek law. It seems that was only the beginning, and DeSantis won Round 1. Then Disney caught DeSantis totally flat-footed; blindsiding him with a maneuver that...

Better to be double, triple, quadruple careful; and better to err on the side of caution, than to kill an innocent person. And no one in this thread has suggested that we "let a killer run free and kill again."

The cases in which people have been freed from death row because they were exonerated by DNA evidence or other facts that later came to light were also found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They were innocent. Would you kill them too?

From the story you linked to: "The agreement between the pair permits the House Judiciary Committee, of which Jordan is chairman, to hold a deposition with Mark Pomerantz on May 12, as well as allows Bragg to send one lawyer to accompany Pomerantz for the purpose of objecting to privileged...

Supreme Court Protects Access to Abortion Pill The title of this post is the CNN headline about this development. Many in the media are hailing this as a great victory for Biden and the Democrats. And it is interesting to note that this conservative court took this action, with all three...

DeSantis Signs Bill Lowering FL Death-Penalty Threshold TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday that will no longer require unanimous jury recommendations for judges to impose death-penalty sentences. This one troubles me. They're letting a single case (Parkland...

There is nothing stopping Trump from suing the mainstream media companies. I think he actually has done so a time or two.

The appeals court just issued a stay. The judge's ruling will not go into effect until the appeals court has had time to consider Bragg's motion.

I agree. Weather-related disruptions in the fuel supply are just that, and only that, weather-related disruptions. Congrats on your new car. You're helping lead the way to the EV world to come.

Another Case Where Trump's Big Lie Has Consequences; $5 Million This Time The thing about the Big Lie is, ... well, it's a lie. And lies have consequences. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/20/mypillow-ceo-lindell-election-fraud-debunked.html

Are the Wheels Beginning to Come Off the DeSantis Wagon? This post relies on a Politico article that cites unnamed sources. I generally put little stock in such pieces because we have no way of knowing if the writer is telling the truth or just making something up they want others to believe...
