  1. I suggest that if the majority of people were left-handed, the right would be perceived as being "sinister." From the book … Cultural Anthropology by Selby Garretson A result from psychology In American culture we feel that things on the right are somehow better, more reliable, and stronger than things on the left. To understand why we feel this way involves going into the languages and traditions of Western culture and asking about the symbolic history of ideas “right” and “left.” The word for “left’ in Latin is sinister, and the word for “right” is dexter. “Left” in our culture’s history has been associated with “evil” or “anomalous” or “dangerous”; while “right” is associated with the law (droit, the word for “law” in French, is derived from Latin dexter and “law” or “right”) In politics, “left” means “change society to new (sinister) forms, while “right” means “keep things as they are,” or “keep going straight ahead.” Even recently, parents used to give their left-handed children problems, and no end of moral misgiving over their “affliction.” They would often make them change to being right-handed, perhaps even doing harm to the psychological well-being of the child. This preference for right-handedness persists, even though it has been estimated that up to 10 percent of the people in America are naturally left-handed. This system of logic by oppositions is by no means confined to our society or culture. It is found all over the world.

  2. A messy government is where there is more than one party allowed. The politicians police each other, and bicker back and forth to try to win elections. What a wonderful system. In a dictatorship, there is one man that rules, and you follow his "advise," or meet a swift end to your lives. Do not KNOCK the government in the United States. It is good, BECAUSE it is messy. Of course it's not perfect. The politicians have to try to appease a whole lot of spoiled people, who all want only their own personal laws to dictate the lives of others. I live in Canada, and no matter which party is in power, I am thankful every day for the treatment I receive, and by the way ... I live in a trailer, in a trailer park. When you want too much, you might end up with someone in power such as Donald Trump, who, with his slick tongue will promise you anything ... just to get your votes ... and then WATCH OUT.

  3. Is it a god’s moral code that you are following when you harshly judge those who are transgender … or is it your own “immoral” code? That is the question that only you can answer on behalf of your self. From the book … Regretting Motherhood ... a study ... author ... Orna Donath This assumed fundamental correlation between womanhood and the ability to give birth is one of the justifications used to exclude transgender women from being considered "real women" and to cast suspicion on them for allegedly endangering the moral order of society.

  4. I supported both Republican and Democrat Presidents, but Donald Trump was neither Republican, nor Democrat. He was a want-to-be dictator, with no respect whatsoever for the very Constitution he promised to protect. Fox new supported Donald, because of the ratings. Debate with me, if you think I am wrong.

  5. And again, caused by biblical “usage,” THIS is racism … From the book … Forest G. Wood is the author of “The Arrogance of Faith.” “Black Christians were given to understand that slavery was God’s will and his enactment,” C. Eric Lincoln wrote, “It was a consequence of Black people’s peculiar sinfulness and depravity that they should suffer, and that white men should be agents of providential justice set over them.”

  6. This is not about which emoji to use, but the subject of the following is close enough. The term should not be "political correctness." It should be "polite correctness." The word "political" makes the "government" the focus, and the supposed culprit of all the dissention, whereas the word "polite correctness,” puts the responsibility where it belongs, which is on the individual. Should we not always be asking ourselves, "Am I being polite, or am I a big part of the problem?" It was not the government that enforced a law that the “N” word had to stop being used. It was those of the black race that rightfully complained that that was derogatory, and they wanted people to respect them by using the term “Black race.” Now, in “polite” company, people use the term “Black race.” The government has never forced people to either use words, or to stop using words. As civilians, we monitor our own language. And if a citizen feels forced to use words that show respect of a certain group, then that person should take the complaint to the Supreme Court if he or she feels it is necessary, but we should not blame the leaders of the government. Concerning language, when it pertains to likes and dislikes, they are just ordinary citizens.

  7. As Canadians, we all want life to return to a semblance of normality. That is why most of us took the vaccinations.

  8. The young man who shot Donald in the ear was a very angry "registered" Republican ... who obviously saw through Donald's many lies. This is "how" Donald Trump won two elections. In 2015, Donald was advised to contact the powerful “Right” pastors of the Evangelical movement. … and alert them that Jesus (in person) had informed him he should run for the office as President of the United States. When pastors (such as Franklin Graham and Paula White) began passing that word around … it caught on FIRE … and the news resulted in sermons in the mega churches to be super exciting … that Jesus was informing them that they MUST use their massive voting power to support Donald Trump. Such missionary type of enthusiasm became contagious in the rush to … Make America Great Again … with Evangelical Christianity … as Inside and outside the churches … “VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP” … became THE Evangelical buzzwords. Young and old were super-anxious to cast their votes for “the first AND second *COMING” … of Donald Trump for President … by the WILL of ALL MIGHTY JESUS. Followers of the massive movement … with Donald as their leader … continually smeared words such as “woke” … “cancel culture” … “leftists” … “dems” … *short for “democrat” … et cetera … as being EVIL … not to be trusted … while words such as Republican and religious RIGHT … and SALVATION were Lusted after as being HOLY information … straight FROM Jesus. Had they not been so hypnotized by the LIE … so blind-sighted … those Evangelicals would have been ABLE to SEE … that even if Jesus was alive in a spirit realm … he would shudder at the insulting slur that as a Jewish Rabbi … with the title of Rabboni … Great Master Teacher of Judaism … he would be supportive of ANY religion other than his own. Had Donald not been so CUNNING as to GROOM the Evangelicals with that “catchy” story “Jesus told me to run for President” … today Donald would not BE the very first dictator to rule over what used to be … The “United” States of America. And being an out-of-control dictator, Donald is stirring up trouble with other countries and that is coming home to cause great harm and hardships … to the very citizens that Donald promised he would make life so much better for … IF ONLY they would cast their votes for him to become their President.

  9. Please do not take away my freedom of speech by deleting this post. If, as parents, you had not vaccinated your children to prevent polio, or smallpox and those children had caught either disease, you would have been perceived as horrible parents. But because the Covid virus most often kills those who are old and in poor health, and even younger ones in poor health, you think you have a right to refuse being vaccinated and refusing to vaccinate your children. Shame on YOU. It was because everyone chose to cooperate in taking the polio and smallpox vaccines that those diseases became eradicated from planet earth.

  10. Thanks for honoring free speech. I disagree with Franklin Graham that it was a god that put Donald Trump in the White House ... when it was the massive amounts of votes from the Evangelicals that put him there ... because of how Donald GROOMED them to believe that it was Jesus TELLING Donald that he SHOULD run for the office of President. From the book … The Faith of Donald J. Trump: A spiritual Biography … authors David Brody, Scott Lamb. In 2012, Trump called White and told her he was thinking of running for president. There was a time of prayer as he pondered the decision. Of course, he didn’t run then, but he called again in 2015 and told her, “’I really believe the Lord is speaking to me, that maybe I’m supposed to run for President. ’I asked him, ‘As my friend, what can I do for you?’ He asked for me to bring some pastors in to him and I did.” Time and again, White and various pastors have surrounded Trump and placed their hands on his shoulders as prayers were spoken. It was also during this season in Trump’s life that he began to make new friends from within evangelicalism. Huckabee recalled how it was Ben Carson and Paula White who had told Trump he needed to work more on the evangelicals—to talk to them directly and all at once. He had a number of different meetings that he’d had with smaller groups of pastors. But he had never brought in the ‘heads of the families’—to use a mafia term—for a united meeting with all the ‘mega-stars’ and all the leaders that might not be marquee names. We ended up packing the ballroom—way more than anyone thought would happen.

  11. Young Americans that use the word “dem” as sarcasm … should understand that the word Democrat stemmed from the word Democracy. Four of the early United States Presidents were proud to use the party title Democratic-Republican … and that included one of the most famous of all Presidents … Thomas Jefferson. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong un … do not practice communism … *which means sharing the wealth equally with the people … and which never occurred with any government ... in any country on planet earth. The only word Vladimir and Kim understand … is that nasty word DICTATORSHIP. Young people … that are hypnotized by Donald Trump’s dictatorial charms … might one day realize that he was the only man who ruled in the office of the President of the United States that didn’t have any respect whatsoever for the Democratic SYSTEM … nor for the United States Constitution … as did ALL the *real Republican Presidents and Democratic Presidents that sat in office before him. Because all people are flawed, there shouldn’t be any doubt that the Democratic system is also flawed. But compared to other systems of government … *as our forefathers believed … Democracy was the only system of government … “worthy of dying for.”

  13. This is what catapulted Jordan to instant fame. It is an opinion (supported by many people in religion) of the content with which I absolutely do not agree, and that is Jordan's opinion that the Canadian government is "forcing" him to use words that he refuses to use, when in truth, he simply doesn't have to address the subject at all. I'm a heterosexual, and I certainly don't feel "forced" to use new terminology that shows respect for a group that have in the past been so terribly persecuted. It would be my honor, to in turn honor them. I suggest that Jordan's problem to address those who are other than male or female, stems from his bible "usage," that a god is offended. I was indoctrinated in a Christian culture and know full well that devotees of Christianity (especially in the good old days) believed that "God spoke through words in the bible, that said that 'HE" created male and female ... period ... end of subject." From my perspective, in this era we should know better ... and go beyond religious archaic hyperbole ... to be respectful of each other's gender differences.

  14. Thank you for allowing my freedom of speech. My guess is that when Jordan recently created the podcast The Monster of Self-Guilt: “The Devil is Always in the Details” … it was his own conscience crying out to be relieved of its heavy burden ... as his conscience is fully aware that he earned his millions of dollars by being deceptive. #1 Jordan made the choice to play party politics as a Conservative … which lead him to state that the Liberal Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau was trying to take freedom of speech away from Canadians … when the truth was and is … that it was The Board of Psychologists in Ontario, Canada, that were receiving complaints from irate citizens concerning Jordan’s misuse of his license as a psychologist to in turn play party politics on social media. #2 Jordan went on social media to preach his (either Catholic or Protestant) Christian religion … which was another misuse of his license as a Professor of Psychology. #3 As a heterosexual … Jordan chose to preach that there isn’t any such condition as “being” transgender. And he did that under the guise of psychology … rather than admitting, “This is my personal opinion, based on my interpretation of the Christian Bible.” #4 Jordan claimed that he was being forced to use words that respected those who (say) they are transgender … when the truth is … he didn’t have to say those words at all. His statement was that he would not be “forced” to say those words … which is much different than taking “away” freedom of speech. He wanted his followers on social media to believe that someone from the Canadian government was going to approach him and say, “You HAVE to say those pronouns, or we are going to throw you in jail.” #5 Had Jordan created a disclaimer on every podcast … that his opinions were personal on all subjects … and did not represent his training as a psychologist … he would not have had any reason to even go to court … much less be retrained as a psychologist. And his conscience would not be creating havoc in his own mentality … which should be plain to all … by his following words from his more recent podcast. “The Monster of Self-Guilt: “The Devil is Always in the Details” … “Yeah well, one of the things you learn if you are a clinician and you have any sense, is, also, is also why you don’t offer people advice. But I don’t know what the hell you should do. Like maybe you and I could figure it out together with some really careful thought, but I can’t … most people are in situations that are sufficiently complex, so that I can’t … casual advice is just not helpful. I mean there is a real arrogance in that. The same arrogance as judgement, like.”

  15. As have others, please do not delete my freedom of speech, and if you do, it “should” bother your conscience. When Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, if she had encouraged her followers to attack the Capitol the way Donald encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol when he lost the election to Joe Biden, do you think Donald would not have wanted Hillary to be incarcerated (or maybe worse) for her crime against the government over which Donald suddenly ruled supreme? If Hillary had even dared to rock Donald's boat as the new President, we don't know for certain what Donald (with his new and impressive sense of ultimate power) would have done to Hillary, but we should know that it would not have been at all good FOR Hillary. In total contrast to Donald’s erratic and dictatorial behavior, was the striking message from the honorable Republican Ronald Reagan when he was leaving the office as President, “We must always remember that our strength lies in our respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and our determination to preserve it for our children and their children.” If Donald becomes President again … his first JOB will be to do away with the Constitution and with any news media outlet that expresses a negative word against his erratic behavior. And he WILL create … “The Law According to Donald Trump” … as THAT is his aim. Guaranteed … you won’t be laughing at his “jokes” then.

  16. Please do not take away my freedom of speech by deleting this post. Many people are suffering at home, waiting for surgeries that are cancelled, because staff in hospitals are busy dealing with cases of Covid, caused by those who refused to become vaccinated. What a shame! If this virus had been polio, or smallpox, there wouldn't BE any anti-vaccinators, as everyone would be pushing others aside in the rush to take the vaccination. The fact is, you can't see the results of not taking this vaccine ... unless your personal family members die from the virus, as has occurred to so many families around the world. You KNOW that is true.

  17. If the other countries don't call Putin's bluff, he will believe that he is invincible. And maybe right now ... he is invincible. Who wants to challenge him by using the "first" nuclear weapon against Russia? As citizens of the world, we are in sort of a checkmate position ... aren't we though? Does anybody have a good idea of how to handle Putin ... or is it all "just talk?"

  18. When everyone was anxious to, and chose to be vaccinated for smallpox and polio, the diseases were eradicated, and are no longer a threat to humanity. It's common sense to be vaccinated, but anger and being obstinate has a tricky way of making us feel in control. Raymond W. Novaco coined the phrase "Anger Management." "We all experience anger; anger only becomes a serious concern when an individual is angry too frequently, too intensely, and for too long." Raymond W. Novaco, 1984

  19. Do any of you protesters ever consider that by refusing to take the vaccine, you are causing deaths ... which is, taking the ultimate freedom away from others that in turn die from the virus? Trudeau is trying to protect us from dying of the virus.

  20. Thanks for honoring my freedom of speech. Donald Trump is NOT a Republican. A REAL Republican would not have tried to overthrow the government that he VOWED to protect when he became President. And you KNOW that is true. This is how a REAL and RESPECTFUL Republican should “and did” leave the office of President. In his farewell address to the nation, Ronald Reagan said, “We must always remember that our strength lies in our respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and our determination to preserve it for our children and their children.”

  21. Between left and right in politics ... that word "extreme" is used as a weapon to create animosity and even hatred. No matter which party we support ... It should be a fair assumption that we all want what is best for the country in which we reside. What Is Horseshoe Theory? When you think of the political spectrum, you probably think of a straight line. In the middle of the line is the political center. At the right end of the line is the extreme right (often called the alt-right/Trumpism movement). At the left end of the line is the extreme left (sometimes called the regressive left). Between the center and these extremes are gradations. Most people think of the extreme right and the extreme left as polar opposites with diametrically opposed views. Horseshoe theory argues that the political spectrum isn't a line. Instead, it's a horseshoe shape. The rounded part of the horseshoe is the center. The ends of the horseshoe are the extreme left and right. This theory argues that rather than being opposites, the extremes actually closely resemble one another.

  25. Thank you for honoring my freedom of speech. Concerning the Jordan Peterson complaint that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is trying to take away freedom of speech from Canadians … the truth of the matter is … Justin Trudeau did not interfere with the process of democracy. He respected the people of The Board of Psychologists and the people of The Court System to do the jobs that THEY were trained to do. On the other hand ... by siding with Jordan Peterson ... simply because Jordan is Conservative ... that means that Pierre Poilievre (who wants to be the next Conservative Prime Minister of Canada) … played PARTY POLITICS ... and doesn’t have any respect whatsoever for the freedom of speech of those people that run The Board of Psychologists ... OR ... the freedom of speech of the people that run the Ontario Canada Court system … whose members have and had every right to decide whether Jordan Peterson ... as a psychologist ... needed retraining. Donald Trump also overruled the court system in the United States. Is THAT what we want in Canada? You had better think long and HARD on that issue. Playing (party) politics (while depriving the court system of its power) is a very dangerous slope to slide down.

  26. People are screaming "What is happening to our freedom speech?" ... while at the same time trying to silence Whoopi Goldberg for stating her own opinion! How about the term “polite correctness?” I suggest that the term should not be "political correctness." It should be "polite correctness." The word "political" makes the "government" the focus, and the supposed culprit of all the dissention, whereas the word "polite correctness,” puts the responsibility where it belongs, which is on the individual. Being that when we don't get our own way, we are such angry creatures, we should always be asking ourselves ... "Am I being polite," or "am I part of the problem?"

  30. When parents agree with circumcision of boys, you claim that is acceptable to the boys. Should that not also be against the law? After all, that is not done with the agreement of the boys when they are babies. Just because you perceive that law as being acceptable ... does not mean that it SHOULD be acceptable. It's not about left or right. It's about what IS right ... and who decides that for children? And are you aware that it was Christians who agreed with the barbaric operation of circumcision for girls? From the book … GORY DETAILS … ADVENTURES FROM THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE … author … ERICA ENGELHAUPT Although clitoridectomies are most common today in a broad region across Africa and the Middle East, many people don’t realize that the surgery was once more widespread, and was also employed in Victorian England. A successful surgeon named Isaak Baker Brown, credited with developing many gynecological surgeries, touted clitoridectomies as a cure for masturbation.* In his book On the Curability of Certain Forms of Insanity, Epilepsy, Catalepsy, and Hysteria in Females, published in 1866, Brown offered among his instructions that “the clitoris is freely excised by scissors or knife—I always prefer scissors.” Eventually, the Obstetrical Society of London essentially put Brown and clitoris removals on trial, ultimately expelling him from the society. But the practice lingered for decades, and spread to America. The last known clitoridectomy in the United States was performed on a five-year-old girl in the 1940s.

  34. Depending on their bibles for information, many Christianized “psychotherapists” taught that homosexuals were simply UNethical-EVIL-heterosexuals … “pretending” to be homosexual. Because of that horrible and unethical counsel, we will never know how many “innocent” homosexuals committed suicide. And now we have Jordan Peterson using his bible and his license as a psychologist to “counsel” parents on social media with the following nasty words … In January Jordan claimed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that being transgender is a result of a “social contagion” and similar to “satanic ritual abuse,” and suggested that acceptance of the trans community is a sign that “civilization’s collapsing.” If you are going to take your homosexual or transgender child to therapy, I suggest you prepare for what you might lose in the “process.” From the book … The LITTLE BOOK OF PSYCHOLOGY: An Introduction to the Key Psychologists and Theories You Need to Know … authors … Emily Ralis, Caroline Riggs Ethics In the previous chapters in this book we have seen that some studies had questionable ethics.

  35. Although this United States Supreme Court judge is now deceased, words from her book live on. From the book … My Own Words … author … RUTH BADER GINSBURG.

Then she made a point, nowhere addressed in the Breyer opinion, but embedded in the memories of women old enough to remember the days when abortion was illegal: “When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, faute de mieux, at great risk to their health and safety.” (Later speaking with a reporter, she was blunt about the law’s purpose: “It seemed to me it was a sham to pretend this was about a woman’s health” rather than about making it harder to obtain an abortion.)

  37. This is what occurred in Canada when abortion was illegal Abortion was completely banned in Canada in 1869. The movement to liberalize Canada's abortion laws began in the 1960s. Former Chief Coroner of Ontario Morton Shulman recalls that in the sixties, abortion could be legally performed only to save the life of the mother, so there were practically no legal abortions. He stated that the pregnant daughters of the rich were sent to a reliable physicians who did abortions for cash. He estimated that these physicians did twenty to thirty abortions per week. Woman who were not rich were left to perform an abortion on themselves or go to what he called a "nurse" abortionist. Their method was commonly pumping Lysol in the woman's womb. The mortality rate was high and the infection rate over 50%. He added, "By the time I became Chief Coroner I had had the unpleasant experience of seeing the bodies of some dozens of young women who had died as a result of these amateur abortions."

  42. It’s futile for Zelensky to sign any supposed agreement with Putin OR Trump ... because Trumps aim is to make Zelensky his puppet ... and Putin’s aim is to do away with Zelensky entirely … so that HE can be the dictating ruler OF the Ukraine. That war is not going to stop … unless Putin stops it … and it should be obvious to the most dense person in the room, that he hasn’t any intention of stopping what he started … Trump … or … NO Trump. And the earlier Presidents that recognized Putin’s aims should be fully aware that common sense is not a word that dictators understand. It’s just not possible. And the reason the Presidents of the United States probably came to that conclusion … was that when they decided to attack and invade other countries … there wasn’t anyone able to talk any sense into them “either.” And it was only when they realized that those wars were futile … and totally unwinnable … did they choose to bring the troops that were still alive … home. Vietnam … Iraq … and Afghanistan come to mind. And then there was that nasty Civil war for which those Americans that fought to keep slavery alive and unwell … should have instead … hung their heads in shame. The quote in the following book was by George Washington … 1st President, 1789 – 1797 *Federalist From the book … Wit and Wisdom of the American Presidents: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions: Speeches /Quotations by Joslyn Pine “I never mean, unless some particular circumstances should compel me to do it, to possess another slave by purchase, it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law.”

  43. I am 82 years of age, have never had an abortion, yet I do understand that many women feel that abortion is the only choice for them in their particular circumstances. These women are your sisters, your mothers, and even your grandmothers. They are not going to stop having abortions, so you have the choice of getting off your moral high-horses, and deciding whether you want to deprive these women of quality health care when they have the abortions ... or not. There is nothing divine about morality; it is a purely human affair. Author … Albert Einstein.

Last time Donald Trump was President … he issued 238 pardons and commutations between 2017 and 2021. These included a pardon of Charles Kushner, who is the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. Bill Clinton issued approximately 450 pardons and commutations between 1993 and 2001 (176 were issued on his final day in office). These included a pardon to his half-brother, Roger Clinton. Abraham Lincoln issued approximately 340 pardons and commutations during his 1861 to 1865 presidency. These included granting amnesty to his wife Mary’s half-sister, Emilie Todd Helm, whose Confederate general husband was killed in the Civil War. The moment Donald Trump becomes President again … he plans to pardon lots of people and that includes the renegades that Donald encouraged to attack the United States Capitol … that in turn … Donald vowed to protect when he first became the President. If we had the same power as do the Presidents of the United States ... should we not be honest and just admit that we always have favorites that we would want to protect … to impress … and to PARDON?

  45. Encouraging hatred against Left, or Right ... Republican or Democrat ... is what divides the people in the country to fight among each other. Discussing individual ideas should be all that is necessary, unless of course ... the news stations want to create a civil war ...all in the quest to keep their ratings high. When I asked some irate complainers ... "If you were in power ... what rules would you put into governing the country? ... they didn't respond.

  46.  @None-y2f  Who would you put in jail ... the Left ... or ... the Right. That was my point. It's not about left or right ... it's about who is guilty of which "individual" crime.

  47. Years ago, I met a man who was always complaining about the government being corrupt, and what he would do if he ran the government. He was always going on about "the poor people,' ... until one day he came into a hefty inheritance, where-after he immediately went on a fancy holiday, and never again did I hear him carrying on about the corrupt government and "the poor people."

  48. Thanks for honoring free speech. Before Donald Trump ran for the office of President, he said that he was “very” pro-choice. But when he ran for the office of President, so that he could receive the massive amounts of votes from those who believe that “God” is against abortion, Donald then said that if women choose to have abortions, they should be punished … suggesting (of course) that God would also want them to BE punished. Donald made certain that the Supreme Court Judges he elected were anti-abortionists. And for Donald being so considerate as to honor them with such high and mighty positions … he made them for the rest of their lives … indebted to HIM. Donald now rules OVER and OWNS the supreme court judges … who know better than to reprimand “THE DONALD.” I don’t believe in the existence of a devil, or of souls. But if I did, I would believe that so he could become the first dictator of the United States of America … Donald Trump sold his own soul to the Devil. And as for the story that a god cares that women have abortions … there are women crying every day because they can’t STAY pregnant … as their fetuses flush out of their bodies; down their toilets and into the sewers … which would mean that if he existed … the god would be THE most prolific abortionist EVER. And it’s not by chance that those who are anti-abortion refer to that nasty occurrence by the *scientific word “miscarriage” … which conveniently distances their god from having any part of THOSE “abortions.” And it’s also not by chance that so many of those women who say they are anti-abortion, are sneaking off “on the sly” to have abortions of their own. When Henry Morgentaler opened his first illegal abortion clinic in Canada … 80 % of the women that came to his clinic to have abortions were of the Catholic faith. Hypocrisy rules humanity … and now we have the hypocrite Donald Trump ruling over the United States. And if he has his way … the rest of the world. As history proved over and over again … dictators can’t stop on their own … as they never have quite enough power to fill their insatiable NEEDS.

  49. Thankfully this Jewish Supreme Court Judge (now deceased) could not be mislead or intimidated by Donald Trump … as were … and ARE the Christian judges. She knew that what does not breathe on its own … which is the case with fetuses … could not BE murdered … and that the lives of the women were/are … of the utmost importance. From the book … My Own Words … author … RUTH BADER GINSBURG. Whether you are a Christian, or an Atheist … you better think hard and long, as you close one clinic after another … in the pretense that it protects “babies.” The lives of women are at stake here, and they are the lives of your mothers, daughters, aunts, friends … and even grandmothers. Then she made a point, nowhere addressed in the Breyer opinion, but embedded in the memories of women old enough to remember the days when abortion was illegal: “When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, faute de mieux, at great risk to their health and safety.” (Later speaking with a reporter, she was blunt about the law’s purpose: “It seemed to me it was a sham to pretend this was about a woman’s health” rather than about making it harder to obtain an abortion.)

  50. I suggest that real Republicans would never try to overthrow the government as did Donald Trump. It was when Donald created his own party within the Republican Party that he started firing every Republican that disagreed with him. He was at one time a supposed Democrat, and had he won office then, he would have tried to overthrow the government, just as he did as a pseudo-Republican.
