The Bible is literally the collection of the writings of hundreds of people over hundreds of years, and then copied and translated many times over more hundreds of years (with transcription errors) until it became the book we know today. Is that what you meant by "literally?"
This isnโt just a Katy Tur problem. This is an MSNBC problem. And itโll get even worse, unless we push back by letting every MSNBC host know that youโll tune them out and punish them in the ratings unless they get their act together. via

Personally, I would assume the opposite: If Putin used ANY nuke, US/NATO military forces would attack Putin's forces directly. My guess is our attack would be labeled a "proportionate response," limited to destroying a number of Putin's airfields and missile launch sites.
In 2022 we can oust both Trumpian Florida Senator Marco Rubio AND Trump boot-licker Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis!

The idea of someone trusting a hospital to perform a supremely delicate transplant surgery on them, and then taking very risky anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their life, but NOT trusting that hospital's medical judgement about a safe Covid vaccine is BEYOND PREPOSTEROUS!
Worth reading... This squabble is about more than just two nasty people. This really is the battle for the future of the GOP in microcosm - the resurgent McConnell/Bush/Reagan faction vs. the declining MAGA faction.

Let's phrase it in a positive way: We should provide those on the transplant list with the (mandatory) gift of a life-giving Covid vaccination prior to the gift of a transplant.
Hospitals aren't "refusing" the unvaxxed, they are simply requiring them to get vaxxed.

Housing is nearly 100% occupied. There are no housing units sitting around empty. The US simply doesn't have as many housing units as there are people needing housing. Housing prices are a RESULT of the shortage, NOT the cause.

Has anybody noticed the general trend:

The men who most decry same-sex relations often have a male lover on the side.
The men who most loudly call for law-and-order have often committed their own crimes.

Maybe the Georgia GOP can purge the prosecutors they don't like, maybe they can't, BUT we do know that DeSantis DID purge the ELECTED Hillsborough County Florida State Attorney by executive order 6 months ago, and got away with it.

If you believe in democracy (i.e. majority rule), UBI is pretty popular. The counterargument of the rich is that is it "wrong" to require a few rich people to share with many less affluent.
