Yup. CPC should tank both bills and the debt increase next month. Tell both Joes: "Two can play at this game. Bye Biden." Burn it all down. D's had th...

Also, the Plutocracy has it's ways of marginalizing anyone who points them out for what they are. Like they did with Scott Ritter. No one wants to be ...

And it doesn't help if they have someone undermining their efforts by trashing them, while giving the other side a pass.
November 05, 2021 at 22:24
That's the issue, though, isn't it? What are the fundamentals? I didn't vote for Hillary because she wouldn't release her Goldman Sachs transcripts, a...
November 05, 2021 at 22:18
Likewise, I'm sure. :up:
November 05, 2021 at 21:28
If you've paid any attention to what I've said about plutocracy, etc. then you know the answers to those questions. On the other hand, I don't suspect...
November 05, 2021 at 20:12
Yeah, but I don't seem him going after the Republicans, while you don't give the Democrats a pass. That was my original question: has he ever given th...
November 05, 2021 at 19:49
We all are, now that politics has been placed over facts, science and the rule of law. So I pick the side that does not pretend to be neutral while th...
November 05, 2021 at 18:58
Will do. :smile:
November 05, 2021 at 18:48
Yeah, if I'm going to roll with anyone I'll roll with you and not Street. I smell something bad on that side of the street.
November 05, 2021 at 18:45
No. Honestly I didn't even read whatever it was you put up. Like Covid: For me, it's not about the science; it's become all about the politics. Likewi...
November 05, 2021 at 18:17
Like Benghazi? :rofl: Where were you in Trump's Nigeria? :roll: See, whataboutism goes on forever. Face it, you are a political tool for Trump. He's y...
November 05, 2021 at 17:40
That's only 3 out of 34. :rofl: You do know that is a felony, right? Where were you on January 6th? :razz: Just kidding, I know you don't have it in y...
November 05, 2021 at 16:40
Doesn't sting a bit. I'm all about the rule of law. As a former prosecutor, I know it's not all about what you can prove. Sometimes it's about picking...

Ouch! It looks like one of Trump's stooges stepped on her dick: https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/254301837_1265462533958784_74261459...

Right, I just said "Okay, so you don't have a plan to direct your activities in a way that will not hurt the environment. Got it." I think it's pretty...
November 05, 2021 at 16:05
Oh, I'm satisfied with "common good." I was asking what you could think of. Apparently nothing? Okay, so you don't have a plan to direct your activiti...
November 05, 2021 at 15:54
I stipulated to that. But like I intimated, digging through 5 years of posts is not my thing. I just thought if someone had been familiar with you all...
November 05, 2021 at 15:52
Is there another phrase you might use that is less offensive to you, but which gets at the same idea? Or are you just disputing that there is such a t...
November 05, 2021 at 15:37
I agree. But, like I said, prayer, like hope, is not a strategy. What might be even worse than either, is if your pretense to objection to planetary d...
November 05, 2021 at 15:29
Then again, hope, like prayer, is not a strategy.
November 05, 2021 at 15:20
It does. But you don't see it. That's unfortunate. But not unusual.
November 05, 2021 at 15:17
Have you ever watched a deer watch for you? He/she is becoming you. Have you ever watched a cougar hunt a deer? He/she must become the deer. A very si...

:rofl: Somebody latched onto "Atlas Shrugged", it confirmed a bias, and no effort has been made to read or understand the critiques. Just a bunch of c...

There are no straw persons here. Let me try to help you: Would you equate a deer to a serial killer? Personally, I would not. The deer is what you mus...
November 05, 2021 at 14:45
Another sickness brought on by our distance from who we are is the illogical conflation of disparate things, like hunting and serial killers. It's sad...
November 05, 2021 at 14:35
I know, right? We've separated ourselves so far from the natural order of things that many cannot even fathom the notion. It's like trying to explain ...
November 05, 2021 at 14:30
If I recall, his BBB was trying to get at this global warming issue. Anyway, there is this thing called "the common good." The tussle is over who gets...
November 05, 2021 at 13:53
Yes, we've been strip mining the oceans for so long, they can't handle it. Sad. In the U.S. we long ago banned commercial exploitation of wildlife on ...
November 05, 2021 at 13:37
Just trying to help. Many a young man I've seen who picks up a shovel and starts digging himself a hole and won't quit. Some folks don't want to learn...
November 05, 2021 at 13:29
If you are interested in this issue, you might look into Christopher Stone's "Should Trees Have Standing." It was a law review article that became a b...
November 05, 2021 at 04:22
Me too! My only real hope is the younger generations from all over the world.

Regarding punishment, I just pulled this off the web but it comports with what I remember as a prosecuting attorney: 1. Specific deterrence prevents c...

It wasn't your quote. I wrote it without your name for the reason stated. And I'll say it again: Now you're just trying to give yourself an excuse for...
November 04, 2021 at 21:33
Now you're just trying to give yourself an excuse for why you got personal. You got caught. Go reflect.
November 04, 2021 at 21:23
Yes and yes. I used to think that the best way to turn a Republican was to give him what he prayed for. But that was working under the mistaken idea t...
November 04, 2021 at 21:22
You are, as usual, wrong. Allow you to correct yourself (and this is only part of it): You were right about one thing though: You didn't imply it. You...
November 04, 2021 at 21:15
P.S. I think it all started when you mistakenly intimated that those who got vaxxed were somehow government dupes who supported a violation of the sti...
November 04, 2021 at 20:27
It's a common theme in history. And I'm in good company.
November 04, 2021 at 20:00
Should have stopped there. They are who I already told you they are. Didn't you read? Didn't you pay attention? Do I have to repeat myself? Look, I do...

You lack the intellectual, analytic, and critical thinking skills to comprehend actual scientific studies. That is proven by the fact that you called ...
