Relax. It was obviously an accident. Did you read the article?

rom what i’ve read it’s typically a case of being a departure from routine. example: if he rarely or maybe even never drops kid off on way to work in morning. normal routine kicks in, mind wanders, etc. dad literally does exactly what he does every morning without ever even thinking. baby doesn’t cry/make noise or anything just adds to it. not excusing him in any way. just one of the more common threads in these incidents.
As always we need more facts. If alcohol was involved, I can understand what happened (though not necessarily excusing it).

I can see that happening after a day at the golf course. He was probably day drinking.

Louisiana’s Total Ban on Abortion is Not The True Will of the People
Posted by Sulu on 6/28/22 at 7:56 am
Polls show the majority (60%) of the country favors access to to legal abortion, but to a limited degree.
Even in deep red states, most people believe abortion should be “generally” legal for the first trimester. Support drastically drops off after the first trimester. This is where I am.
I believe Louisiana’s law is outside of the will of the people, and therefore outside of the federalist construct of our Nation.
I personally believe abortion after the first trimester should be limited to only the most rare medical necessities. A near-total ban on abortion is on the other extreme end of the spectrum than what liberals want.
Extremes rarely work well, for either side.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are three unalienable rights the Declaration of Independence references.
But they are not the only unalienable rights we have.
Another one is the right to bear arms. The constitution does not grant this right; it simply states what is already true, that the right to bear arms cannot be infringed by the government.
I don’t need a clause in the Constitution to tell the Government can’t infringe on my life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. I already have that right.
Any Government telling me what to do with my body, whether it’s to take a vaccine or banning abortion, is not the direction we want this country going.
This is about basic rights.

So it doesn’t allow states to infringe on autonomy?

I Am Anti-Abortion, But Pro-Choice

I support an individual’s right to body autonomy, whether it comes to vaccines or abortion. We all have an inherent, God-given right to autonomy. There is no constitution or legislative body that can grant this to us.
I find it puzzling so many ‘conservatives’ disagree and actually want the government, at any level, to infringe on these inherent rights.
I disagree with the SCOTUS holding and fear this will initiate a new era of judicial activism that will come back to haunt the right.

There has to be at least probable cause to believe interference occurred before the DOJ will initiate an investigation.
You just don’t appoint a full fledged investigation because the guy who lost says it was rigged.
That’s my whole point. This board has pointed to nothing objective and quantifiable. It’s all “if you don’t see it you’re not looking” and “why did they stop counting.”
I do not believe our country’s foreman would conspire to rob a rightful president. I voted for Trump twice, but he is merely a man. I would never put him above my country.
A cult of personality for any president is very dangerous.

What Are Your Arguments Against Bill Barr’s Determination The Evidence Was Not Fraudulent?
Posted by Sulu on 6/23/22 at 4:36 pm
Listening to the hearings and I admit this is the one piece of evidence against the theory that Trump actually won that I have never been able to refute.
Bill Barr was the top law enforcement officer in the country, and a man who was appointed by Trump. He is also an established statesman with zero reason to believe he would defy his patriotic duties and lie to the country (or betray the GOP) if there had in fact been evidence of fraud.
As a prosecutor, he deals in evidence. I’m not saying it’s not there, but I am saying no one has been able to point me to objective evidence (besides the 2000 Mules fundraising movie, or telling me “it’s there, if you don’t see it then you’re not looking”).
Even the committee admits there was fraud. But there has never been evidence that there was fraud to a level that could have impacted the election.
Why would Barr lie if there was evidence.

re: The Army Has Separated 818 Soldiers for Refusing to Get Vaccinated
Posted by Sulu on 6/21/22 at 3:06 pm to tigerpoboy
Then that Christian should be separated as well since they are obviously unable to serve the needs of the Army.
If we set precedent that soldiers can refuse vaccines, that would lead to absurd results and severely detract from the ability of our Army to fight and win the nation’s wars.

Apparently the Chief of Staff agrees with me.
The Navy has stopped separating sailors because of bad press from the Navy SEAL protests. The Army does not care, and obviously believes disregarding the vax constitutes violating a lawful order.
I think it is a shame because that’s 818 careers ended prematurely for something that was highly politicized when it didn’t have to be.

Numbers as of 2 June.
More than 4,450 religious exemptions have been requested. 11 have been approved.
Some people think the refusal to follow orders is somehow heroic. I disagree. Soldiers must follow orders.

Did We Prematurely & Illegally Seize Private Russian Assets?
Posted by Sulu on 6/15/22 at 7:41 pm
Did we jump the gun seizing Russian assets, including movable property (like yachts)? I still haven’t been shown the legal basis the US has to seize a foreign private individual’s property solely because he has personal or political ties to the leader of another country, and only because we disagree with that country’s lawful basis for the use of force.
That’s akin to Russia seizing the personal assets of Rudy Guliani solely because he is a personal friend of DJT.
I believe we should respond to Russian aggression that destabilizes the liberal world order. I don’t think we should waste the opportunity by stooping low and seizing private property without a lawful basis.

I can gather most here are very similar politically, and I mean beyond just left v. right.
A consequence of this global-village parochialism is we have forfeited the ability to put ourselves in the other man’s shoes and see the world as he sees it.
Argument is a lost art.
I encourage myself daily to branch out and listen.
Bill Clinton said we should all spend more time listening to each other, and I wholeheartedly agree.
