I understand that reference. Congratulations on your long friendship, and please understand that I mean that totally independent of ANY differences of opinion we may have. Good job!
I guess not. LOL. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself eh?
Then good to you then.

Trump filled lawful appointments to the Supreme Court. The left wants to increase the number of justices, see the difference?
The truth is, that almost everyone, if they were sitting around a campfire, and confined the conversation to specifics, would probably agree more than otherwise.
I'm 64 years old about to be on Medicare. But I tell you we all (Americans) are arguing over minor distractions when we should be creating healthier lives for our citizens. We should be stopping the consolidation of the food companies, we should examine the impact of the hedge funds on our well being. We should get ahead of the financial sector, in general, having ultimate control over our lives.
We don't do that though, Any of us.
Thank you for the kind words. my daughter was pretty happy about it as well. she is also 35.

Yes actually I do see the difference
I mean it is kind obvious that there is a difference. I don't have an opinion about it as yet.
This is an opportunity to ask you. If Liberals would had stormed the Capital and gotten some people killed. How would you feel about that?
If Republicans where wanting to add new Justices, how would you feel about that?

I said nothing about innovation. innovation is constant, therefore it is built in to everything we say. I named different things affecting us, the minimum list. but there is a boat load of other things california could keep to themselves but they keep letting them escape from their own state and affect everyone else. That's what pisses me off, actually. Money also plays a big part.

One Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices have served us well, so I would be against increasing the numbers.
I wouldn't feel good about it.
The thing about Democrats, they have been divided by their liberal extremist, where as Republicans have been unified by there's, and by the Liberal ones. We deserved to have the court moved to the right. We are seeing it happen all over again. H. Clinton and her ultra feminists followers managed to hand over the Whitehouse by alienating every white (and some black) men in the country.
The Dems are hard to love, that's for sure.
The old ways are dying, get used to it.

I have absolutely no problem with giving the residents of Gaza humanitarian aid. Despite their terrible political choices, they are people who vote for what they think is right. They might well be wrong or brainwashed, but they voted in Hamas. That chicken has come home to roost and I don't need to rub it in.
My concern is that somehow Hamas will get their hooks into more money because they somehow monetize and redirect that aid. Funding the non-combatants of Gaza? Go for it. Funding for Israel? Go for it. Allowing monetary diversions to continue funding Hamas? Time to break that bank.

Not to worry....
"The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees, a move that would offer a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza, according to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS News."
Probably not to Delaware or Martha's Vineyard though.

Which was, is, and will continue to be a concern. Radical Islam does that to people.

it's been happening since the first president was in office man. that is obvious. eventually all that weird shit that starts in california will spread everywhere and democrats will take over. THAT is what I'm not looking forward to, if I'm still alive when it happens.

This is insane. We brought in a lot of refugees from Somalia. One of those refugees was Ilhan Omar, who has demonstrated her appreciation for this humanitarian gesture by being antisemitic and anti-American. Then there is Pramila Jayapal, who also immigrated into the US and promotes antisemitism and anti-Americanism.
How does one distinguish between supposed "civilian" Palestinians and Hamas terrorists?
Based on realpolitik concepts, you don't want to bring into this country people who will have no loyalty to the country and who, given the opportunity, would seek to undermine the country.
Now, not every Palestinian is a member of Hamas or a supporter of Hamas. Again, I raise the realpolitik approach, Where are the Palestinians demonstrating to overthrow Hamas? If the Palestinians are not willing to free themselves of Hamas, why should they be entitled to come to the US? The US should be encouraging the Palestinians to make their own destiny in Gaza. Simply put, accepting refugees, creates two problems.
First, in the case of radical Islam, accepting refugees from the country controlled by the radical Islamists, allows them to gain further dictatorial control of the country since there won't be an opposing political group.
Second, accepting refugees weakens the accepting country. Especially if the refugees are not interested in assimilation with the dominant culture.
Caring for refugees is an admirable humanitarian goal. Before implementing that humanitarianism, one needs to consider to the realpolitik implications.

If Trump doesn't get reelected California will be the least of your problems.

PS: I was reminded that none of the surrounding Arab states, who are culturally similar to the Palestinians, want to take in any Palestinian refugees. Seems that they should be willing to accept that humanitarian burden.

Another four years of Papa Joe at the helm with Kamala waiting in the wings for Joe's eventual decline into public dementia too profound to be ignored.
