    in fairness to the campaign speech that the veg gave - heres Trumps

    and NOTHING on abortion, slapnuts

    Well I could probably live with most of the stuff on agenda 47. I guess it depends on how paraphrased the synopsis was. I don't think most of it is going to be easy to do realistically had a couple I disagree with. I'm fine with electric vehicle research.

    I would have also like to see stronger support for israel.

    Wait, you find her attractive? Really?

     

    No juvenile gay jokes. No deflecting. 

    Do you find MTG attractive?

    Sure, she's okay. I don't think she's as pretty as Lauren Boebert, Kristie Noem, AOC, Laura Ingraham or Sarah Palin. (All graded on an age/politician curve of course)

     

    Frankly I think Barbara Boxer was hot a few decades ago.

    Oh lord, getting old sucks, huh?

    Well I understand she's a female and that doesn't particularly turn the woodpecker on. He's more of a mayor Pete kind of guy.

    But she is probably in the top three or four percent of senators that you would actually consider.

    Hey did you see the rep dressed up in all ByDon clothing at the SOTU? Oh wait, no that was a MAGA cultist in full uniform.

    Yes as quick as a bunny Biden responded by doing a shout out for coach Riley.

    Nice work cult leader Biden.

  5. I watched a little bit of it, nonsense. Don't know how long Adderall lasts in the system but probably should have made the speech a little shorter. The responses bullshit too. But that's all speeches are.

    Why so bitter towards people  buying Trump stuff and rallies?

    Do you think we will see deranged liberals disrupting Trump rallies, rioting, blocking traffic this time around?

    BTw...there's a sale on Obama merchandise at Amazon.

    Love those socks!

    Steve... You're very clearly didn't post the full definition in an attempt to save your buddies on here. Let's be real. 

    You can fight that one to your grave, but it couldn't have been any clearer. Literally the exact part of the definition that would have matched their views and actions and you just happened to leave it out. 

    None of this "well anyone can be anything" crap. 

    And I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here that you were attempting to be deceitful on purpose and not just a moron.

    And later when the full all encompassing definition was posted it underscored my point that just about everything in the fucking world could be called a cult if people feel like using it as a pejorative. And there's really nothing more to it.

    I'm also sure that you know that full well you just like to bicker.

  8. Once more I'm going to ask has anyone actually listen to or read the description of this event? This is not innocent people standing in line waiting to be served at a food truck. This was a full out riot the rescue workers were being attacked and there was a good chance that they were going to get killed as the crowd over ran destroyed and looted the trucks. Not Israeli military, rescue workers trying to help. Again no one on either side is happy that this happened. It's just being mischaracterized by some of the people here. And by the way that description isn't from a right-wing news organization.

    Steve, you couldn't even post the full definition of a cult when all it took was you copy pasting the full Webster entry (more than likely on purpose to try and protect your posting buddies)

    Are we supposed to now "debate" what an expert is? Sounds like a giant waste of time. 

     

    I'm not taking these "experts" to task because they disagree with me, I do it because they aren't experts. Or at the very least their expertise is being greatly inflated by a bunch of folks that have zero scientific knowledge in their body / have been completely politically brainwashed. 

    The "Frontline Doctors" is an obvious example. They were full of fraud from the start. Easy to see. But we had posters on here so blinded by their political leanings they were ready to put some random strip mall urgent care demon believing doctor above trained contagious disease experts. 

    Classic example is cal continuing to post the petition of "experts" that disagree with global warming. The petition that's like 15 years old. The petition I could sign. It's a joke. 

     

    This isn't some grand conspiracy to silence dissenting voices. It's an effort to rank those voices appropriately and to call out the relative size of the voices as well. 

     

    I had a good talk with Chris about this in DMs back in the day when the UK was doing the same anti expert anti academic nonsense. If your political party actively fights those that have educated themselves it should be a red flag. But instead they've weaved this tale of indoctrination or some other bullshit, to explain it away, and to keep their base uneducated and in line. 

     

     

    I'm rambling. Who is and isn't an expert is clear. Or at least it should be. Sadly, with this group, it isn't ...

    Absolutely you are rambling but regardless of any full definition of the word cult it's meaningless. It can be applied to anything and anyone thereby removing any connotation of right wrong or indifferent. And that's regardless of your being compelled to bond with assholes like cccp.

    I disagree with Trump about that. He might have been right 5 years ago, but this harmful ideology has become pervasive. I personally know a bunch of biological women who got top surgeries. I know pediatricians in residency who are expected to go along with this and afraid to say anything that might shy patients away from it. I have a distant family member living in Seattle. He is a widow, and he started his 12 year old kid on puberty blockers. Like, I don't know, maybe the kid is having an identity crisis because mom died of cancer last year. Maybe you could have exhausted all other options instead of giving your kid puberty blockers before they're capable of understanding the effects. I'm absolutely livid about this one. It's one thing if you're a confused adult and make this decision for yourself, but to do that to a kid??? You and I agree that this should be a last case scenario. However, the experts say that hormone replacement is a better route to take before the child hits the one way street of puberty. Completely unethical, never mind the reimbursements for hormone therapy and gender surgeries. 

    Again, this scenario is what is being promoted by the academic societies I mentioned above. If you think the experts are wrong, and if you try to bring this up in residency, you sadly run the risk of retaliation. If you have views that are contrary to the prevailing theories, you are better off keeping your head down and your mouth shut until you graduate. In my anecdotal experience, the only people I've heard criticizing this topic at the state medical meetings have been mid-to-end of their careers. And if you're critical of what they're pushing, your views/research aren't likely to be featured in any of their journals. 

    Which is one reason it's dangerous to allow government to indulge people's insanity.

    Probably rarely a good idea to legitimize Munchausen by proxy.

    Yes, nothing more "grown up" then thinking that anyone that disagrees with Israel's actions is an anti semite. How very adult minded of you. So much wisdom. 

     

    Again, this is no different than the "race card" the right thinks is played constantly. Or use Vapors anti Trump example. It's hilarious to me you and others can't make this connection. 

     

     

    Oh well.

    AIPAC endorsed candidates in the United States have a 77% win rate in elections. People talk about Russian interference in our electoral process, but no one talks about Israeli interference on both sides of the aisle. AIPAC, and their attack dog, the ADL go and call anyone who doesn't outright support zionism an anti-semite to ruin their chances of getting elected. They even did it to Trump when Hillary started calling him anti-Semitic, so he went full on neocon on the topic of Israel. Some dual-citizen asshole in OUR congress showed up wearing his IDF uniform after Israel, a foreign nation, was attacked by Hamas. I understand why Zionism is important to them, but it really doesn't need to be a basic tenet of our foreign policy.  You'll have to excuse me for questioning their loyalty to this country over the other one they're a citizen of.

    You guys can't seem to separate that supporting Israel's right to defend its existence is different than disapproval of Israel razing Gaza. For whatever reason, any criticism of Israel foreign policy means that said critic is a fundamentalist Muslim Jew hater or skinhead prison neonazi Jew hater. 

    Again, I draw the parallels to the last ten years of Trump supporters - to many liberals, you could not  disapprove of Democrat policies without also being some combination of a bigot/racist/xenophobe/homophobe/MAGAtard. Now, the same people who were unfairly being written off because of prejudice are using the exact same arguments and prejudice to silence anyone who doesn't toe the line on Israel.

    I've always thought that the Russian interference gag was bullshit. As I see it the most Insidious election interference comes from the liberal media the major newspapers most of the news outlets Etc especially now that Fox News has been castrated by Rupert Murdoch's two sons Uday and Cusay.

    I assume there are dozens if not hundreds of organizations that support candidates for all sorts of reasons. I bet Ukraine is among the worst.

    But mostly by meaning is, for instance, liberals despise Donald trump. I get it. So they would vote for somebody like Liz Cheney who opposes them on probably eight out of 10 issues. That's just stupid.

    I don't know if despite their distaste for Israel the Dearborn Muslims are conservative or liberal. But they're probably not going to get a candidate that's strictly anti-jew. But they are free to hope for one I guess.

    You just said every Muslim in Michigan that voted uncommitted is an anti semite 

    Well that's not exactly what I said but it is kind of close. But withholding your support from a candidate who otherwise supports just about every other one of your issues because you can't back anyone who approves of any kind of support for Israel, yeah that's kind of anti-Semitic. Should be obvious enough for a guy like you who spend so much time screeching about racism. If you're going to gripe about the words screeching then pick your own synonym.

    If someone said that they couldn't vote for anyone who showed any kind of support for BLM would you consider them racist? I don't expect it honest answer from you but I suspect so.

    Bro, my issue with your post is that you are saying Dearborn Muslims voting uncommitted over Biden is antisemitism. These are not the people invading and interrupting congressional hearings to call everyone there murderers, they aren't driving a truck of peace into a crowd of Christians, these are not the people flying planes into the world trade center. They disapprove of how Biden is handling the situation (with materiel support to IDF and indifference to the violence being imposed on Gazans), and they voted against him. There is nothing antisemitic about that. 

    If you can't see the difference between Ashli Babbitt entering the Capitol with a mob and some civilian getting shot in his IDF-occupied neighborhood, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree. 

    It doesn't surprise me and it is absolutely to be expected, happens everywhere all the time. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a good thing when identity politics rules the election. Muslims/jews  blacks/whites gay / straight Protestants / Catholics East / West North / South IRA/ UDL

    Every group of people has another group of people they're pissed at. And in just about every one of these cases when you vote according to those differences you are probably not taking the best path for the country in mind. That's all. Does that make sense to you? For example did people who voted for Hillary or Obama do so because they thought that person was the best leader for the country? Or because it's set a historical precedent?

    Wanting to stop Israeli massacre of Gazan civilians is now anti-Semitism? Come on dude, we had to sit through 4 years of every little thing Trump did being called fascism. These words lose their meaning when they're used ad nauseam. You can't be indignant that Muslims in Dearborn are unhappy that fellow Muslims are being killed because of American aid/approval to Israel. 

    In a balkanized world and in a balkanized country one man's terror attack is another man's self-defense. I think you will have a hard time describing to me how supporting Hamas has nothing to do with anti-semitism. I doubt that anyone, even the Israeli army, is happy about the situation with the food trucks but you can certainly read the description of the incident. I've understood for quite a while that you and I don't share a pro-israel outlook. I give you the benefit of the doubt because you are brighter than cccp and the woodpecker.

    Bad things happen in war. Had Israel not been attacked they would have never taken the West Bank or the Gaza Strip but they were and they did. And I do apologize if you think I'm being a dick but how would this differ from your defense of the DC security who murdered an unarmed woman during what has been falsely labeled and insurrection?

  17. This is mostly for you Woody but often you've gotten upset because you think that we think you consider Al Gore an expert. I don't think you consider him an expert. Nor do you consider Joe Biden or Barack Obama or John Kerry or any other politician and expert. But I think many politicians glean their positions from people they consider to be experts. And it does seem that you are more willing to take scientists Etc to task if they don't agree with what you see as a big problem in the world. (And that really has nothing to do with my opinion which is there's not much we can do and we wouldn't do it if there was.)

    Young voters across party lines care about climate

    Polling shows that young voters across party lines list climate as a top issue. The latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found nearly 60% of those ages 18 to 29 believe climate change should be a priority, even at the risk of slowing economic growth. A larger group, 64%, believe climate change is a major threat, and 72% responded that climate change is affecting their local community

    Not really that big of a disparity. 10% from the highest to lowest? Something like that? So it doesn't really prove a lot.
