Time for our famously libertarian brothers and sisters in New Hampshire to finally stand up and tell us if they really mean what they say when it comes to their espoused values.

β€œShut up, it’s better now for the average worker than when the average skewed ⬇️ due to effects of Jim Crow,” isn’t exactly the American Dream I learned in school.

Also not a very satisfying response to the many renters in their 40s whose parents bought homes during the 1980s at half their age.

I’m not sure β€œI’m not a loser; I’m just lazy,” is quite the positive frame she thinks it is.

Ah, I see there’s yet another NIMBY op-ed in my local paper. Let’s scroll to the bottom to see what the author’s background and perspec. . . of course.

Based on your question, I assumed that the phrase β€œextremely limited” was cherry-picked in a manner to over-read Moore, like it not actually linking to state courts β€œauthority”).

But, no!

Those words don’t appear anywhere in the opinion, and nothing like them appears in the pin-cite from Moore.

Also imagine thinking β€œWell ACTUALLY only about one out of three people struggle to secure food” is some kind of huge dunk against a policy proposal for the government assisting people who struggle to pay for food.

Hunting season is basically Oct.-Nov. in Maine. Hikers & hunters alike will be wearing blaze orange for the next two months for safety. I bet we see lots of them on the Appalachian Trail this fall. I'm not wearing one to a night out in the Old Port, but may pick up a hat or kit before my next hike.

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull β€˜Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

When I got a license ~20 yrs ago, I recall one big hurdle for donation advocates in getting folks to βœ”οΈ yes was battling against fears, usually driven by urban legend or dark humor, of the exact sentiment exhibited in the headline: that if they see you’re a donor, they’ll let you die in the O.R.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is nonsense. A district court decision holds just as much legal weight as a Supreme Court decision. The only difference is the district court’s ruling is appealable. But until you WIN an appeal a district court’s decision binds all parties, including the executive branch.
