She wasn’t responding to me, so why would I call her out? There are more effective ways to make a point than playing whatabout. That’s playground talk, but its not easy to refrain from.

It’s not a rule. Just a stubborn old fact.

Thank you for a well reasoned response.

I will support 100%. I ask this out of genuine curiosity. How does a government funded research project fit the Libertarian political philosophy? Because it’s the State and not the Fed?

What about Obama?” Waaa waaa waaa. What about don’t cut it in a debate.

Don’t watch tv/internet news or opinions. Read wire reporting and two or three editorialists I like. I make up my own mind.

Pond water was never so weak.

The judges don’t act unless there is a cause for action. The cause is a lawsuit of one kind or another. Skill shortage, man, I’m telling you. Take a debate course.

He’s ignoring one branch and issuing executive orders that should be addressed by the other one. If that’s not a power grab, I don’t know what is. He’s not a dictator. He’s a wannabe.

Breitbart is not a legitimate news source.

On fire with 177,000 jobs? Real indicator is GDP. It decreased .03 (shrank) in the first quarter. Let’s check back next week after second quarter figures come out. As for inflation and tariffs, he hasn’t implemented any yet significant enough to cause disruption. It’s just been political theater, at which he is a master. All hat.

He’s a brutal liar.

So? You all quote anti-immigration propaganda. There are two sides to issues in a dynamic system. That’s how we grow. Debate and problem solving. There are many perspectives in a dynamic system, hence a more liberal immigration system brings some of the best intellectual talent in the world here and contributes greatly to innovation, an area we lead the world in. For now. Once Weasel snuffs that out, we’ll have a hard time recovering. -

How come you don’t get beat up for not citing sources? They tear my ass up on here when I present unsourced information. [Hidden Content] -

You sure? Come harvest time, prices will rise with either labor cost increase or crops sitting in the field because the cheap labor source has been cut off. Does your research include soft costs, or you just looking at federal outlays? -
Oh, you mean like that one in Texas that made the abortion pill I junction nationwide. And you call me a hypocrite. I’m telling you, man, weak arguing skills.

Many people are able bodied but not able minded. -
Facts are stubborn things. A landslide isn’t 60%. I was incorrect. It is generally considered a landslide when the victory is by 15 points or more. It doesn’t matter what anyone predicts. A 2 point win is not even close to a landslide or mandate. I told you about checks and balances because your post demonstrated a misunderstanding of the separation of powers. You really need to work on your factual arguing skills.
-
You are funny as all get out. A landslide is considered an election where the winner receives over 60% of the popular vote. Weasel got 49.7, not even a majority. To call it a landslide is laughable, to put it mildly. As for the courts, we have three equal branches. Checks and balances, you know? An injunction is not a final ruling. Man, you are digging deep and still coming up empty.

That raises an interesting point. We must remember that opposition or favor of any government program depends on whose ox is being gored. I like Social Security and Medicare. I can see where a 30 year old might not. Start talking about reducing or eliminating those benefits and my ox is being gored. Talk about a bloated defense budget and Boeing’s et. al. oxes are being gored. Government is big, bloated, and unnecessary - until it isn’t. -

Billing is not the patient’s responsibility. Able bodied adults can too easily get welfare and TANF plus child tax credits. Proving disability to qualify for Medicaid is quite a different matter. Not nearly as easy. -

I certainly do. Did you read the piece? So, you think the patients fake sick so they can collect money that passes between the program and the provider? Do you really believe that? Or is it that the poor and elderly fake their income or age to get free insurance? Do you really believe that? -

I know AAW, and he doesn’t get offended without good reason. Look inside yourself instead of spewing all over me and BG to hide your embarrassment. -

Yes, and the right wing clowns blame the poor, the minorities, and illegals. Remember the “welfare Cadillac”? Ronald Raga** started the wedge driving way back yonder in ‘80.
