Yoshifan823 posted:Kraft is a real dick here. There's this weird sort of aggressive tone to him as if he's attacking instead of interviewing. It doesn't help that Obama has a very calm, measured, slow way of talking (probably to keep him from speaking without thinking), which runs counter to how most people want him to answer questions. I'm so used to hearing GOP candidates talk like a machine gun. I was looking at Twitter during the airing this evening, and it was, predictably, split right down between people who hate Obama and think he's evil/a monster/an idiot, and people who think that Obama is cool. Is it just me or does CBS seem to be going full on right wing of late? COuld it be just a ploy to keep their primarily older audience happy?

CBS has been kinda old right wing people for a while. NBC has been slightly younger than average and slightly left wing, and ABC is pretty much bland centrist.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:True story, being a democratic state congressman in a state with a Republican supermajority was John Grisham's day job while he wrote his first novel.  Mississippi had Democratic super-majorities in the House and Senate in the 1980s. It was only in 2012 that the Republicans took (almost) total control of statewide offices. Though for such a conservative state, you would have thought it would not have taken so long.

I can see why inmates might hate pork because it is one of those things which is delicious if cooked correctly and goddawful if you deviate even slightly from the right way to cook it. It is the Brussels sprouts of meat. I'm sure prison cafeterias are overcooking it and turning it into dry tasteless lumps. Also prices are going up due to demand from China.

I think with gun control laws people just need to get a handle on the fact that an inconvenience isn't a curtailing of your rights. Mandatory background check in any gun transaction, is inconvenient but not infringing on your rights to buy, keep, and bear arms. Eliminating the loophole that says if that check takes too long you can go ahead and buy the gun, is inconvenient, but not a curtailing of your rights unless the federal background service is willfully delaying or not performing checks. A two week waiting period is inconvenient but not an abridgement of your rights. Requiring a license would not be an abridgement, unless it could be proved the licensing office was purposefully using its powers to prevent people from getting licenses and therefore guns. It shouldn't be harder to get a voter id than to get a gun. Really modest reforms to make sure people buying guns are not violent felons or have domestic abuse records or have a diagnosed but currently untreated serious mental illness seem really rather reasonable. It won't stop shootings but at least it would lower the amount where you look at it and say "why the gently caress was this person able to buy a gun?"

I'm not really sure I'm comfortable with that statement in the context of what was done to abortion clinics in Texas. They just made it really inconvenient, to the tune of a couple hundred miles of driving, to get an abortion, but it's technically still legal to get one.

They just made it really inconvenient, to the tune of a couple hundred miles of driving, to get an abortion, but it's technically still legal to get one. Going a couple hundred miles isn't merely an inconvenience for a lot of people, it's an impossibility. Waiting two weeks is an inconvenience most people bear every time they buy something online if they aren't Amazon prime members. It's a reasonable inconvenience. Just like I think having to take a written multiple choice test demonstrating you have an understanding of driving laws is a reasonable inconvenience for a driver's license and would be reasonable for a gun license. It boils down to intent. Anti abortion laws in Texas that make it extremely inconvenient (an abortion is never convenient) are drafted with the purpose of preventing as many people from obtaining them as they can. The kind of mandatory background checks and a waiting period would not be for the purpose of preventing law abiding citizens to obtain guns, they would be for the purpose of determining they are law abiding citizens. But if you were talking about for example some of Chicago's laws forcing gun stores out of the city I would agree with you on those.

I think what Texas has done is a way stronger word that inconvenience. Regulating door frames in very specific clinics so that abortions can't be done in wide swathes of the state or making women wait for tests untill the fetus isn't legal to be aborted since it's so far along isn't really the same as a two week waiting period. Republicans are very upfront with the fact that they are trying to make abortion illegal (at least for poor people) not inconvenient.

There is no comparison between the legislated "inconvenience" that abortion providers face and the small child throwing a tantrum response to any potential law that even touches some peoples Most Important Toy In The World.
