This isn't the comfort you think it is. If the bombs light up my horizon, I won't be thinking "well, at least some remote tribe might continue a stone age humanity" while my entire family is consumed in a nuclear fire.

Progressives are the easiest vote to disenfranchise. All it takes is one wedge issue, and they are out.
And then you have the corollary on the other side - for some on the far right, all it takes is one wedge issue to drive them in. Gun control, abortion, etc. I think that's why we have to have an uphill battle every four years.
20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
It doesn't imply that at all? Please feel free to let me know what this passage is really about.
Because the idea was always that we need a living wage.
It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living. -FDR

Hey exhausted lemming! I get you. I really do. But try and look at it this way. Two years ago I would have said he would never be charged with a crime. A year ago I would have said he'd never see a court room. And yesterday, I was convinced that one MAGA in the jury would be enough to get a hung jury. But here we are. So I'll be very surprised if Trump sees a single day in jail, but I've gone from pessimistic depression to cautious optimism. I hope you get some relief, too.
