Also one of Dan Senor’s big hobbyhorses recently.

How kind of her to drop a scoop in your lap like that.

Isn’t that good?

Okay, I’ll leave with a serious question. Why not use all who want to be foster parents as best as they can be used? A family could plausibly be in the foster program for years without a lgbt foster child. And, as the families note, the state can use its discretion in placement. Have a great night

At least it’s apparently okay for you to be bigoted and intolerant with respect to religious families.

Good question! Rejecting loving families already successfully fostering is both intolerant and an injustice.

If Massachusetts had a surplus of foster parents already, perhaps it could be somewhat justified. I doubt that is the case, though.

They are not “would be” foster parents, they are multi-year experienced, committed foster parents whom the state is willing to discard for ideological reasons even with an extreme shortage of foster homes.

Does that mean we’re going to get rid of our standing army like we did during peacetime when we last had a Department of War?

Except the military has supported law enforcement at sea for over forty years. In 1983 I was on a navy ship that executed coast guard counter drug operations and intercepted and took over a ship carrying a bunch of drugs, arresting the crew. Disabling fire approved for use.

Congratulations!
My cat is certain that “Callie” is all about her…

Even if the not-going-to-happen constitutional amendment was successfully ratified, I think the best you’d get is the term limit clock starting at that point. You’re not going to boot Thomas and Roberts off the court in the first year.

He didn’t really say anything.

I can’t read the post you replied to, because of the ridiculous blocking here. Sorry if I missed your point.

No force involved. Unforced error.

I just think that after over half a year she should be leading *something* or discussing plans for something, if she intends to make the case she’s a leader

Well, his Pacific fleet submarines, anyway.

We need Ajit Pai in a superhero costume to barge into the FCC, break shit up, and fix the place!

I dunno; the job she’s being moved to is certainly more impactful to today’s navy. She’ll be in the room, at the table ,for all policy and and budgetary decisions for the navy. USNA is mainly ceremonial.

I rode ships a few times as a Navy civilian, a few times in staterooms but also in 60 man berthing on Blue Ridge in 2009, and a godawful berthing space onboard Kitty Hawk in 2006.

As if that matters.

When you spend 40+ years saying “death to Israel”, surround Israel with terrorists and arm them to the teeth (see: hezbollah a year ago), and attack with hundreds of drones and missiles as Iran did, I’d say they assumption that innocence should be over.

I mean, Iran *could* just acknowledge Israel’s right to exist, and cease funding proxies created to terrorize the Jewish state. Further, they could stop arresting and killing Iranian women for showing their hair, and provide rights to all its citizens, as Israel does. Just a thought.

Even with all those crazies blocking you (and it’s 91,000 for me), the users on this site are still wacky!

Following Ben Dreyfus’s seems to have gotten me some additional blocks!

Hur declined to prosecute Biden, and I agree that Trump clearly broke the law. Garland and Jack Smith screwed up that case by waiting too long to file it & making it too complicated, and then Biden screwed them by failing to allow a proper Democratic candidate a chance to win the election.

She’s obviously correct, and you deflect with something completely unrelated to Hur’s investigation

You’re mixing up the cause and effect.

Heck no!

Since the Dispatch didn’t even exist ten years ago, I’m interested in the receipts for this claim.

I haven’t been reading about this, but I did wonder why it’s in federal court at all.
