A Barbie doll, currently priced around $20, is estimated to be around $50 in the fall. But hey Trump says your daughter doesn’t need that many dolls, so…

No. There’s no “we” only you. And you read me wrong. Sucks for you:

The other day I wrote that I would be posting a lot less in this forum and that remains true UNLESS anyone wants to engage in some serious discussion with me: you know the kind where you offer ideas and mean them, no trolling, and you’re prepared to back up your arguments. The kind where you try to avoid name calling and gratuitous remarks. If nobody wants to do that, I get it, that’s fine. Stay out of this thread and I’ll stay out of yours. If you do come into this thread looking to troll me I can’t stop you but don’t look for me to respond. As for anyone who wants to have deeper, thoughtful discussions, let’s have a clean slate. I’ll respond to everyone who seriously wants to engage with me: you don’t remember my past comments and I won’t recall yours either. We’ll start over; how’s that? I am a liberal and I know most of you are conservatives but that’s no reason we can’t engage in fruitful, respectful discussion. I am interested n the following topics: the Presidential election, Trump’s legal problems; Biden’s legal problems, abortion; climate change, inflation and the economy, gun control, race relations; the border and undocumented immigration, gay and trans issues, Ukraine and NATO, Israel and Palestine, the House and Senate races, all in no particular order. I want to discuss this stuff with serious people who disagree with me. If you’re not one of those, then no worries. We don’t need to talk any further.

Haven’t we had this discussion before? Anyhow she’s right. Lady is right a lot,

Debunked by who? Not by anyone respectable. Here is UCLA: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ga-trans-suicide-press-release/ The only ones who believe as you do are anti-trans extremists.

Yep. This will accomplish nothing but more suicides. So tragic. I wish we could just accept these people for who they are.

I always keep an open mind and when things go well, as they did here, I will give him credit. But on the whole, IMO, it’s been a disaster.

Of course there should be oversight of US defense, but now you’re moving the goalposts.

There’s nothing to defend because your facts are wrong. Most of the money we have spent on Ukraine has gone to our own defense industries. Most of the value Ukraine received has been in the form of weaponry: https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-us-aid-going-ukraine This talk about billions in cash going to Ukraine without any supervision…it’s all a lot of crap. You’re being lied to and you’re eagerly repeating the lies here.

You completely misunderstood what I wrote, or perhaps you didn’t read last sentence: “I wish it were otherwise.” This is no victory for me. I am not celebrating. I take no pleasure whatsoever to see this country suffering. I still hope that things turn out well for Donald Trump, because that means things will turn out well for America. I root for him to suddenly become a good President or even a mediocre one. Reversing himself on the tariffs would be a good start. DeSean Jackson went to my dad’s high school, Long Beach Poly. I think it still has rhe record for most NFL players from a single high school.

There are worse posters in this forum than the OP but probably none is a more deluded conspiracy nut. So sad…

I look back on this thread and it’s sad that all of my dire predictions about a Trump Presidency came true. Wish it were otherwise…

Lakers will win it all next year.

Well nobody sane except for the majority of voters for whom buyers remorse has settled in. But other than them you’re right.

The rules have been released: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/06/15/politics/trump-biden-cnn-debate-rules 90 minutes with 2 commercial breaks. Neither guy is allowed to consult anyone during the breaks. No audience. No sound on mics when the other guy is talking. So there will be no interrupting allowed. This seems as fair as it can be. Right now there are a ton of accusations about old age and mental disfunction: both men have been accused of not being mentally with it, etc. This debate should give us the answers to those accusations once and for all.

Near the good? I’ve yet to hear that it’s done ANY good at all. Seems almost wholly negative so far from what I’ve read.

That had to be the most nauseating press conference ever. “Oh Mr President you are simply the greatest man in American history!” And you could tell he loved it. So pathetic.

I was watching clips of Kamala Harris’ speech from last night. She was so good, so spot on. It’s infuriating that she isn’t President right now, we would be so much better off. This may turn out to be the worst mistake American voters have ever made.

I don’t know how many were deported without due process. The info on this provided by @HellToupee the other day was highly misleading. But to answer your question: yes of course, though ten years later it’s probably too late.

In most cases yes. And the Supreme Couet disagrees with you.

This is a good deal for the U.S. and Ukraine, providing we don’t abandon Ukraine. Obviously I oppose most of what Trump has accomplished so far and think he has been awful, much worse than last time around. But this is a solid achievement for the USA and I think it will be remembered as a lasting positive legacy for his Presidency.

They’ll weigh in plenty before that. And you’re right, I will keep taking up for violent criminals and everyone else to get due process.

It does. Why do you keep arguing otherwise?
