  1. The point is law and order. Most 1st world countries aren't using armies domestically to achieve that. It's not clear it was necessary in any of the recent deployments here.. Can you imagine army troops acting in a similar way Toronto? London? Tokyo? Paris?
  2. people will always need medical care. the vast majority of docs are very busy. I'm retired. how armed would you describe these soldiers? https://www.fox43.com/article/news/nation-world/federal-officers-deployed-los-angeles-macarthur-park/507-cd826e85-bb0a-4115-9ccd-444d125b7203
  3. fair enough. in the meantime, do we let Americans starve by cutting off snap??
  4. shock! another obscene , coarse tweet from a rando. where do you find these people? is there a site the 100 "best" maga shite talkers? at least she's a hairdresser and not a teacher or social worker. Search Assist Lavern Spicer is a political figure who ran for the U.S. House to represent Florida's 24th Congressional District but lost in the general election in 2024. She has a background as a cosmetologist and has been involved in various community organizations. Ballotpedia She got 22 total votes in the election. https://ballotpedia.org/Florida's_24th_Congressional_District_election,_2024 I'm confident that Winsome can do better.
  5. ensuring that no Americans starve is everyones responsibility. We can focus on enabling self sufficiency simultaneously. but children, the elderly and the disabled who make up the majority of snap recipients are unlikely to ever be self sufficient.
  6. Morbid curiosity prompted me to open your post. Suspicions confirmed. Not arguing the point, just…test your new found grasp of logical fallacy.
  7. one guy orders heavily armed military operations in American cities and against citizens. One doesn't. That's enough for me to decide.
  8. While I despise her, she seems to have very good political instincts. Has she turned to the light? Not yet. But if it works for her, we"ll see.
  9. A country that allows pedophiles, no matter how powerful, to face justice. Still too much traffic for me.
  10. my wife cares. She'd prefer sci fi or a documentary. My friends care. They were recording as well. I'm sure they're watching now. Wha sports fan wouldn't be? You're ridiculous. I would do the same. Is your child hungry? There was a decent jazz band in the cidery. didn't miss an inning.. not ashamed.
  11. how many million would be too much for you to bear? World series taped. Watching now. Go Toronto!! This is class.
  12. Great. For now you can differentiate 2 logical fallacies. Congrats. perhaps reading comprehension can be improved as well: "10's of millions of hungry children and uninsured people"
  13. "In the U.S., about 8% of the population, or approximately 26 million people, were uninsured in 2023. The uninsured rate has decreased significantly since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which aimed to expand coverage options and reduce the number of uninsured individuals." from kff multiple sources state that 1 in 5 children are food insecure. That's roughly 10 mil. So what's your argument? together that's 10's of millions. Not enough to thaw your cold heart? less importantly, you still don't understand what the straw man fallacy is. Even had I actually misstated the number (I didn't) that would not be a straw man. It would be a false premise.
  14. I have a friend who owns a large cattle farm (yes, we have those in Va). I met him a few years ago on a cruise. We were seated across from each other at most meals with others from our community on the cruise. My reputation as a liberal proceeded me and he asked if it might be better if we didn't discuss politics. I agreed and we got along famously and still do. He was a solid trump supporter. Not so much these days. He told my wife he's fed up. There may come a point where we can discuss politics with each other other. Same with other conservative friends. I just hate that trump needed to hurt their businesses for us to get there.
  15. nope. and no one has said that it should. there's that straw man you magas are so fond of. by most measures, we are the wealthiest county in the history of the world. And yet we have 10's of millions of hungry children and uninsured people, one serious illness away from homelessness and bankruptcy.. And it's getting worse by the day. Most other 1st world countries do much better. and your solution is to punt.... so let's fix it...or choose the better alternative offered by maga...oh, wait.
  16. “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).
  17. A recent Instagram post earned supermodel Gigi Hadid nearly a half a million likes, but it wasn't a photo of herself or of the latest fashion trend. It was a quote from Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister on the importance of being more broadly pro-life, not just "pro-birth." The quote — which Chittister confirmed she said during an interview with journalist Bill Moyers in 2004 — said: "I do not believe that just because you are opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, a child educated, a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
  18. hmmm...ever heard of instacart?
  19. The guy has no conscience, no concern for anyone. I think he hates poor people more than any other group. But they’re to blame for eating the shite he’s fed them.
  20. it reflects the fear that much of the electorate has that this will adversely affect them. It's that reality hitting them in the face. Few see this healthcare debacle as making America great again. And so far, all the R's are offering is that they don't feel it'll be that bad. Oz bluntly stated that the other day. "patriotic" displays and propaganda are rarely useful when people see a quality of life issue going the wrong way. We'll see more of it from SNAP and Medicaid cuts when the rubber meets the road.
  21. Publicizing that was part of her resume for a job in the trump admin. She figured they'd value her ruthlessness. She was right.
  22. sadly, what the populace wants isn't important to a king. but it could well cost him some pawns, knights and bishops.
  23. 45-33 would be a nice score for a Bills win Sunday night. It's not a good score for trump on the shutdown. https://thehill.com/homenews/5582193-trump-gop-blamed-shutdown/
  24. Ozzy is a quick read. He's got the maga boss shite down already. He's always been good at lying. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/not-big-issue-republicans-shrug-consumers-confront-health-care-sticker-rcna240722
