    Do you have evidence she did?

    Ted made a claim and you both want evidence, then one of you does the same. I was surprised and humored. ��
    Sadly, I completely understand how you got from Point A to Point B
    It is the logic of a simpleton and serves only as further proof that we should go easy on you because your capacity for deductive logic and intellectual reasoning is severely limited.
    Synapse free neurons with no higher level integrative capacity is the underpinning of your brain function.
    Think amoeba........

    So, thanks for your input Chuck and have a nice day.
    What I think happens is you run to post an insult without first engaging your mind. What Ted posted is the same as what @dneal posted. Neither is predicated on evidence, or is evidence even needed.

    You Trump supporters had a field day being disrespectful to Biden. Now your guy is showing signs of cognitive decline. The truth is, he may still be the next President.
    Well, at least my mind is engageable Chuck. In contrast to yours, which is not.

    I'm sorry, you are dead wrong (Shocking......)

    What Ted posted is all able to be corroborated or refuted by data driven facts or evidence.
    "1) He won the debate, all the polls say so
    2) The debate was rigged by corrupt ABC and corrupt moderators
    3) Harris cheated and knew the questions ahead of time"
    All of these can be expressed as data or as a metric. And, metrics can be used as evidence.

    What dneal posted is clearly different.
    "Kamala looked like a teenage girl trying on personalities in front of the mirror."
    This does not cite something that can be expressed in any data driven or metric based way.

    More simply, in each of TSherbs claims there can be some sort of measurement assigned which is based on a metric.
    Not so with the comment made by dneal.
    Evidence can be generated for substantiation of TSherbs statements but not so but not for dneal's

    #dumb-ass
    He made those statements, Seny. It's researchable if it's that important for you.
    Wow, Chuck.
    This comment really demonstrates how lost you are.........

    I must confess to having said something wrong. I opined that your reading comprehension was poor. But, not so, your reading comprehension is zero. You have none.

    Harks back, I suppose to your drug rep days. You never read or critically evaluated...largely because your Company did not want you to do so. You were told what to say and, like a good little lemming, that is what you did.

    #lights are off; there is no one home.
    thanks for reminding me why I put you on ignore. jerk.

A supporter of the legislation said change would only require "comfort care" for a child born alive. Note also that the language requiring the preservation of the life and health of the baby is also deleted.

    The Minnesota abortion law allows abortion up to the moment of delivery, for any or no reason. The amendments to the infant protection law neither require medical care be given nor that care be taken to preserve the life and health of the child. If the abortion fails, and a healthy viable child is born, the doctors and the family can discuss whether to allow the child to die. Who would know, given the reporting requirements have been removed?

    "Executed?" Probably a rhetorical flourish. But... If capital punishment by allowing the convict to lie there, without food or water, until death occurred would that be cruel and unusual?
    I have admit that is troubling.

    For those with access, David Brooks discribes well the evolution many of us can relate to bring us to this moment. Whether Trump wins or looses, he’s an Edsel.

    Uh?? If I'm on "ignore" how come you are posting and referencing something I posted? Obviously, you must have read it.........?????
    Don't bother us with this "ignore" BS pimple head. It's a sham. It only serves to reinforce everything we already know about you.

    As for the "jerk" assessment....back at you pal.
    Even when one considers Chuck's feeble brain, you may well be THE most pathetic of the Stooges.

    This is all the political equivalent of playground gossip. Propaganda to keep you bickering over nonsense.

    Usually don’t watch a full debate.
    Bit tough for this blue collar law school grad to root for the Ivy Leaguer, success story notwithstanding.
    Interested though in how the aw-shucks down-home governor plays against the best-selling author, Marine, Senator.
    Can Vance coax or cajole any substantive policy position out of Walz?

    Better, who has something to say?

    I usually watch part of them live, mainly from their taking the stage and the first 20 minutes or so to get a feel for it.

    Maybe I let it play in the background (or even watch, if it's good).

    I watch the various social media interpretations of what they're seeing.

    Well rehearsed rhetoric from each side. Yawn.

    Polls seem to show that Vance perhaps "won" by a point or two, but both candidates improved their favorability with viewers.

    My wife is still a working full-time teacher, and she had to stay up late last night (not me). When I asked her this morning who "won" the debate, she replied, "Everyone who did not watch." So, once again, I win. No one wins as much as I win!
