Comment Re:Voting strategy from Scott Adams (Score 1) 138

The right to abortion is a downstream right of bodily autonomy, granted by the constitution under the word "liberty". It's right there in the preamble, not even an amendment. You don't have to get deep into the document to find it.

You have a right, as a citizen, to do what you want with your body, so long as it doesn't violate the rights of another citizen. The unborn are not citizens. They're not even people, as they have no long term memory capability or ability of rational thought.

It's pretty clear. It's the same reason you can't be forced to donate a kidney even though you have two, even to save the life of the President.

I guess I'm just real confused as to why you think it's not covered by the constitution. Do you really believe the only rights granted by the constitution are those specifically named? Because, oh buddy, you'd have a real bad time if that were truly the case.

The end result is that it raised the price of foreign goods beyond the point at which people buy it without second thought.

The intent of tariffs is to promote the purchase of domestic product by making foreign product more expensive. This is sometimes necessary to prevent a foreign government dumping product so cheap that the domestic companies shut down, then the foreign governments stop subsidizing the product because there's no longer competition.

Tariffs are a defensive tactic to protect domestic industry, and in that regard that's what they're being used for here. You just have to do some serious mental gymnastics to justify this defense because it's pretty shitty. Our domestic companies should pay their fair share of taxes in the nations they operate, as well as here in the US.

The 'proven' documents rudy refuses to allow to be better, despite him being known to currently be the deliberate target of Russian misinformation, that he could not get fox to believe, so he went to the paper with near zero journalistic integrity to release? That even with their abysmally low standards, 5 journalists there considered to so suspect they refused to give their name on the release? Those 'proven' things? Grow up.
