No I’m not. The vast majority of polygraphs administered in this country are to law enforcement job applicants. And only about 60% of police departments use it for that purpose. The federal government attempted to arrest people who were teaching others how to defeat a polygraph. Polygraphs identify liars better than a coin flip does, to be sure. But it’s not a cure-all.

“Constantly” is a stretch. The polygraph has its uses but it can be defeated and it can be misinterpreted.

Am I to understand that it's bad, actually, that people cooperated with the government to ensure they could pay their employees? That a cash passthrough that was effectively another means by which to administer unemployment payments and keep businesses from shuttering after forced closures, with defined forgiveness parameters from the outset, is worthy of mockery?

With respect, Irv, this is the wrong narrative to throw at this issue. You worked hard and you paid the G or whoever back. Ok, me too. But the corporations and banana republics these crooks hand trillions to also “pay it back.” Conservatives should oppose this because it benefits leftists and left-of-center institutions of power. Full stop. If the GOP was actually interested in serving its voting bloc, they would propose 100% student loan debt cancellation for married families with 3+ children.

This isn’t investing in students. This turns these loans into direct government payments to universities who are accountable to nobody in exchange for nothing.

If usury is wrong in this type of loan in which other types of loans is it right?

Again, Republicans not only miss the point but miss an opportunity. Democrats understand that politics simply comes down to what Old Hickory practiced: reward friends, punish enemies. IRS, "green" energy, student loan "forgiveness," all just payment programs for dem donors at the expense of those who actually make the system run.

I own some Saxx boxer briefs. Highly recommend

Now you're just posting safe opinions. This is popular.

It's ok, I like my wife too.

The slippery slope argument isn't a fallacy, it's just pattern recognition. You'd be forgiven for not seeing it in, say, 2008. But by the time Obergefell was decided the die had already been cast as American politics shifted violently into a postmodern frame. Of course, there is also history. NAMBLA had a regular presence at pride parades until the early 90's, and the concept of "age of consent" was hotly debated within the gay politics community from its inception in the 60s and 70s. Much of the opposition to the concept of "man-boy love" came from women within the gay rights movement. The gay movement wasn't the only place this "debate" existed though - never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a French philosopher what petitions he was signing in 1977.

Oh, are we asking these questions? How about the dogs that are contracting it? Woodchipper, indeed.

Or he does remember, and is rubbing everyone's face in the fact that he clearly doesn't give a ***** and gets away with it.

Someone needs to tell the bars around here.

So what could be described in the most charitable sense as a paraphilia can be cured with a little time on the couch and what, an SSRI?

They'd have a hard time with damages since this was a settlement.

A "sickness." Lmao This treatment for this "sickness" is closer to rabies in a dog than the flu in a human.

Sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling monkeypox, new research suggests. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna43484 Glad we could clarify this.

Pretty sure that would just be another form of cocaine.

I propose tossing them into a hole in Gitmo if they ever have political aspirations. If it were true that "nobody is above the law" as the DOJ is claiming, ol' Dick would have hanged from the neck 'til dead about a decade ago.

This is a woman who will TO THIS ***** DAY smile as she ***** out lines like "there were no lies in the lead up to the Iraq war" and "waterboarding isn't torture."
