nearly two weeks ago, sir james munby, a privy council member, formerly a law commission chairman, high court's family division president, and a lord justice of appeal, issued a short emergency order in a blood transfusion case closely resembling mcewan's the children act.. here are some excerpts:.

2. the case involves the deeply troubling question of whether a blood transfusion should be administered to a young woman who is almost, not quite, 16, against her profound religious beliefs.

What a unique idea: Don't let children die unnecessarily.

just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.

i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.

well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.

What do you think the chances are of this election being determined by the House of Representatives or perhaps even the SCOTUS?

In either of those scenarios, I think Trump is called the "winner".

Trump -- probably one of the only residents of the White House who will move to a more spacious residence if he leaves.

Life is tough. That is a fact. If you want it easy - do the work. No shortcuts.
Why does only approximately half of America get that?

Because they've been told that it's not their fault! It's not their fault that they are disadvantaged. It's not their fault that they didn't pass high school. It's not their fault that they did not go to college or trade school to get a good job.

Plus they have gotten into the habit that they will be given everything if they complain loud enough.

And perhaps some of it really IS NOT their fault. Maybe their parents were shitty parents. Maybe they were raised by a single parent. Maybe they were raised by Grandma because neither parent was responsible. But for everyone one of them with those circumstances that is failing, there is another who rose up and is succeeding.

THERE AIN'T NO FREE LUNCH! As soon as a person learns that the sooner they are on their way to success and prosperity.

Don't worry about Biden. At least he will be able to say that he was once president elect

Only if someone keeps reminding him of that fact.

Although he lack charisma and articulation, it's ok because a world leader doesn't need those traits.

And you blokes offer up Boris Johnson on the world scene as "charismatic"?

He only grabs the vaginas of those who offer them.

He only brags about grabbing vaginas -- in a private conversation with another guy. I'd call it "dick measuring". Yes it's juvenile and maybe misogynistic. And you've probably done it, too.

The fate of fishes, wt fell for it.

by waton in

for lurkers: think about today's wt "study".

an illustration worse than of sheep, because these live at least until the shearing and slaughter, the life expectancy of a fish hauled out in a net or on a hook is only minutes.. the skills of a [watch tower] fisherman, the netting setting, , the bottom dragnet, the deceiving lure, (that often has no nutritional value) of empty promises, .

fishing done at night with artificial lights, wt fake enlightenment, "new light" attracting the unvary.

And some WT Bethelite in the Writing Dept is sitting back getting a lot of "atta boys" for his brilliant use of illustrations.

Can someone seriously explain to me what the appeal of Trump is/was?~ Pale Emporer

Pale, I think you are relying too much on the major media outlets for your info.

Yes, I believe it is factual that Trump disparaged a disabled reporter. But I don't recall the context. Check it out.

No, Trump did not support white supremacists. That has all been twisted and taken out of context. Check it out.

Yes, he called Mexicans (illegally in the US) who had raped women -- rapists. Seems too blunt? Truth hurts! He also called some "murders". Why? They were arrested as suspects for these crimes. HE DID NOT apply it to the entire Mexican population.

Yes, he bragged about grabbing women by the pu**y. He excused it as "locker room talk" (as did at least half of US citizens). Tell me you haven't said something condescending about some hot ass women who walked by to your drinking buddys.

Trump's appeal is he was not/is not from the "Swamp" of career politicians in Washington DC. Yes, he could be (and often was) crude, brash, rude, brusk (and add several other adjectives of your choice) especially on Twitter. BUT, he didn't whitewash and sugarcoat his public statements while he knew he was lying through his teeth."What you see, is what you get" with Trump.

Trump lowered taxes on the middle class person. I still pay over 50% in taxes on anything I earn at the end of the year. Your tax rate in UK may be higher, but I pay for my own medical coverage ($900/month) and my own retirement plan. I think I am "giving enough" to the less fortunate.

Trump improved the economy tremendously. The stock market was at record highs. Yes, I do personally own stocks, but even Americans who do not personally own stocks, still have much of their retirement based on investments in the market. A strong stock market isn't just for the upper class and wealthy.

Unemployment was at record lows for ALL demographics -- black, Latino, women, etc. Wages were rising (without passing legislation to raise the minimum wage) because he improved on the shitty trade deals that had been made over the previous decades. China. Mexico. Canada. Europe.Business was moving back to the USA and new plants were being opened.

Trump ended the 20-year (endless) wars in the Middle East. Fuck Syria. Fuck Iraq. Fuck Afghanistan. etc etc Let them fight it out on their own just has they've been doing for decades (maybe centuries). Just don't let them go nuclear. Thus, squash Iran and their threats. What a bumbling fuckup the Obama/Biden Iran Deal was! JFC!

Did you hear anything about Trump being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? How about THREE OF THEM? All having to do with peace agreements in the Middle East and with Serbia and Kosovo. If you heard about it, it was probably a "blip" in the news and gone. He was the first US President to receive three nominations coming from three different foreign nations.

Under Trump the US became energy independent. NO MORE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY OPEC! Instead the US was EXPORTING oil. Gas in my hometown yesterday was as low as $1.52/US Gallon. Yes, I was happy driving my (comparably inefficient) Cadillac and Lincoln and SUV and even happier at the gas pump when filling them up.

Trump was not a politician. He was genuine. You might not like his genuineness, but he was "real".

Did you realize he donated his presidential salary ($400,000 annually) to charity every year? Last quarter it was to the US Veteran Cemeteries. While other politicians and their families (need I say Hunter Biden, but also google Nancy Pelosi's husband's biz and AOC's boyfriend -- paid as consultant by her, and Ilhan Omar's husband -- he was paid almost $1million by her campaign), Trump and any of his family members involved were all working for free. AND, there was no kind of collusion with Russia or anywhere else discovered about the Trump family where they were raking in million$ as did the Clinton's "charity" and Biden's.

Now, please help me understand the appeal of Sleepy Joe Biden if you can.
