Engorgeous George

Hey Tim, Fu(k off! And , again, you don't address the matter, you seek to deflect, which is an admission you are full of sh1t but won't admit it. You have zero credibility. You are an irritant, nothing more. Some day I hope to meet so I can slap you into a blubbering mess. Have a nice day.

I am not finding that information. If you have a link that would be apreciated.

Tim likes to make that claim based on a poorly run survey of literature done 8 years ago which survey did not account for a large number of factors such as school overcrowding leading to reduced educational opportunity and attainment by our students which costs no doubt runs into the trillions over the students lifetimes and which does not monetize the loss of life of americans who are murdered, or the loss of quality of life of those raped or trafficed. This has been pointed out to him. He has never had a response. He simply ignores any such arguments as he wishes to cling to his belief. He does so by citing the authors of the paper as experts, though experts are, of course, more cautious in their conclusions, are unbiased, and would readily acknowledge they did not include all of the variables in their survey as all of the variables are extemely hard to identify. Tim likes to say he is reasonable, open to information, and likes discussion, but when the discussion will clearly prove him wrong and require such an acknowledgement he runs and hides and then weeks later comes out with the same stupid claim as if it ws never debunked.

I understand we have become a country of optics over even substance. I believe politicians, like Cruz, know this and have accepted that paradigm when they sought office. That said what would he have been able to do from Texas he could not do from Greece. It is not as if he was going to be actively involved in the search. If he were on scene he would have distracted from the search with first responders then guarding him and clearing traffic for him instead of them searching. Still, I condem hiim for saying one thing and doing another when grief stricken constituents are given an expectation by him, an expectation he intended to benefit him politically. He is an asshat. BTW, i live in Colorado yet I get at least one text a week from his campaign asking for donations. I find that irritating. I would not donate to his campaign if he were running in my state, more less another.

Thats why you nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Netanyahu has this figured out. I call this the Chinpokomon lesson ... https://youtu.be/TuEKb9Ktqhc

Last week i went fishing targeting walleye. I caught a few. While doing so the trout were highly activated and I caught many of them as well. Since i was fishing for production i kept them as well. Were I hunting down criminal illegals, and I found them embedded in a group with other illegals of uncertain provenance I would keep them all. Basically while looking for one thing I would not and do not ignore other things which are also of value to me.

Its a metaphor. A metaphor for what I don't know.

I thought this thread was going to be advocating the slaping of a certain poster at this site.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy wishes he had thought of this.

LOL. You say It would be irresponsible to blame this on Trump, BUT you blame this on Trump.

Without the surrounding context i never would have guessed that was supposed to be Netanyahu. Still, way better than anything I could have done.

Will it be like Whacking Day on the Simpsons?

Wake me when the violence really gets going or if we decide to institute a purge.

I believe those same tactics were used to flush tigers in india back 150 years ago. Also...

In my locality that is a function of the Municipal and County governments. I can't speak for everywhere
