You don't understand the meaning of the word liar, liar, and seem to think if you say the word liar enough, you will lie yourself through life, liar. Your post makes no sense as usual liar

***OFFICIAL Banner Raising - Ravens @ Chiefs NFL Season Opener Thread***
jerryskids replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
I have very few FF assets in this game, which probably sucks, as they should both be good offenses. Butker in IBL, and Ravens DEF in one of my money leagues. I tried to get other players, mostly Chiefs (Pacheco and Worthy), but they were sniped ahead of me. -
I'm very confident that you don't know what "liar" means. I'd ask you to explain it in the above word salad, but I know you can't do it. I also don't know for certain that any given Christian player doesn't give such thanks. What I know, is that in general, they don't do so in public. It's faux Christianity bible thumping, like surfer cults in Nevada. Also, good to know you think the following is from Satan: "You thank Jesus for dying so that you might live, and for providing such inspiration to do your best in the face of fear and adversity, like He did." Thanks Amen

Well, let's parse this. - Forgiving student loans to allow people who can't pay off student loans, to get larger mortgages on houses they can't pay off, does not seem like a path to success. I presume you were around during the last mortgage crisis? - Amnesty to illegal aliens is not about fairness, although some position it as such. It is about, as we've discussed 43215 times, that you can't use past (mostly legal) immigration statistics from (mostly) first world European, Nigerian, and Chinese countries to conclude that illegal aliens from third world countries are a net positive. - I'm not saying you disagree, but taxing the rich never, ever works. As I've said her a similar 43215 number of times, they have more, smarter, and more financially motivated accountants on staff to make sure they don't. The onus for paying for these boondoggles always falls back on the middle class. -

I haven't followed this on a national scale: does the Senate projection include Ruben Gallego beating Kerry Lake in AZ? Because Lake is an abject failure who will never win anything, but if the Republicans still manage to keep the Senate overall, that is reassuring. -

A wealth tax would impact three major classes of people: - Folks like Warren Buffett, with a shiot-ton of investments with unrealized gains. They would have to sell off a ton of holdings to pay such a tax. - Folks who started successful companies, or were very early in such companies, which went public. They would have to sell off a significant amount of holdings to pay this tax. - Folks with very successful private companies, who might need to sell such companies to pay this tax. Do you think any of these are a net positive for the country? None of the above is taking anything away from the rest of people. If your objection is the typical Leftie "it just isn't fair!", then at least admit it. -

Sorry, but "price control fear mongering" should be the default IMO. What you linked regarding states laws against price gouging during emergencies is NOT what she is proposing. The onus is on her to provide details to assuage such concerns. -

Apparently not in enough detail. I scanned it and saw the objections to the subjective analyses he had provided. He certainly seems not lacking in confidence. -
LOL, you think that thanking Jesus for a result in a sporting contest vs. other people is a good thing? "Good or bad" -- have you heard a DB thanking Jesus for getting curb stomped by that WR? They should, if they are true Christians, but they never do. You thank Jesus for dying so that you might live, and for providing such inspiration to do your best in the face of fear and adversity, like He did. If you need any more guidance from someone in the one true Christian faith, let me know, I'm happy to help. Thanks, Amen

If they did, and/or if the proposal is a federal price gouging proposal for states of emergency on specific , then that's a discussion worth having. It doesn't impact the price of groceries now, though. -

I agree with the article; in fact it basically expands on my earlier comment that Lichtman took quite a few liberties putting keys into the Harris camp. I stopped short of calling him biased though, because he did call Trump in 2016. Perhaps since then he has become a TDS never-Trumper, I don't know. -

I was going to say something similar @OldMaid, but I won't repeat Mark's excellent description. -

I've asked how this grocery store thing would work, but haven't seen a good response. Is it on individual items, like we'd have a czar of dairy setting acceptable prices for different types of milk and cheese? Or is someone determining an overall acceptable margin? In either case, a company like Walmart has armies of accountants who can move costs around to avoid whatever arbitrary limits were set. Kroger, probably not so much, since they are primarily/only in the grocery business (I think), although they can move costs around in the individual czar model. Joe's Bodega in Little Dominican in Manhattan? Fuggettaboutit. The margin idea has the added issue of, like you said, their current margins are already slim. It's a volume-based industry. It's a dumb idea with no possible way of implementation, but as we've discussed here, the American people can be very stupid and increasingly like the idea of free stuff, so it will be popular to low-intelligence voters. -

Interesting model, thanks for posting. I could argue that he took some liberties in determining true/false, things like the economy doing great (if so, why do we need Kamala's undefined price gouging idea), white house scandal, Trump not being charismatic. Also the implication is that RFK dropping out helps Kamala, which I understand the historical reasoning, but seems incorrect in this specific case. Nevertheless, like you said, he has an impressive track record. -
Yeah, I watched part of that game, they look legit.

Can you provide a link with details regarding these proposals, starting with the gouging plan. I looked on her website and it is mostly about donating money, plus meet Kamala and Tim. -
I would do it, Troon was super fun. I looked into flights earlier this week. You can fly into Belfast (Northern Ireland, about an hour drive from the tourney) or Dublin (Ireland, 2 hour drive to Belfast, 3 from the tourney). From where you live though, you can probably fly nonstop to Dublin, whereas it looks like (for me anyway) the Belfast flights require a connection in Heathrow. You can possibly also ferry between Scotland and Northern Ireland, but I haven't looked into it.

In I'd love to see the WM Phoenix Open added back in, since I go every year. But I understand if it is not an elevated tourney Which reminds me, I got lottery tickets for the 2025 Open, in Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland. Only W-Th, they didn't give me Friday like I requested, but there is an aftermarket at which I can probably get them. My son said he wants to go again so I paid for them, and we might try to play a few rounds this time. But, my ladies (wife, two daughters) have made it clear that continued boondoggles to Europe without them are... choosing poorly.

Yep. "Climate change is the cause of [insert current weather]."

Somebody tagged a sad emoji to this post. I look forward to them responding and telling me why this makes them sad.

Agreed. Pretty Barbie doughnuts don't mean trans, although I'm open to hear what I'm missing. Otherwise, he has a very weird obsession with trans stuff.

Another random word salad thread from weepers with no links and no explanation about what the heck he's talking about. Great job, great effort weeps!

Well, yeah, that's smart, but there is not obvious tie to the Covid vaccine -
Well, that's useful!
