I don't usually think of such things, but I would bet that @squistionhas fapped several times today to this thread. He just seems so excited to finally see the mean orange man on trial...

I spent the better part of 25 years being a Southwest fan boy. With Phoenix as a hub, it was super convenient to fly darn near anywhere I wanted, usually on time. Cheap was nice, but most of my travel was for work so work paid, and SW had a great FF plan so I got so many free tickets (and a companion pass) I basically flew my family of 5 for free wherever we went. Free wifi, pick the best seats, all good. But... IMO they've gone downhill in recent years. Mostly in direct/non-stop choices -- the places I go mostly are no longer non-stop, or one-stop, but rather 2+. And not so cheap any more. Fock that noise, when I can fly American for comparable price and get to places easier.

I believe many things. I believe that Trump wanted people to go to the Capitol and whoop it up bigly. I believe that when they actually went into the Capitol, some part of Trump (maybe the biggliest) thought "hey look, they're storming the Capitol for me, they love me, I'm the greatest!" Because he is a narcissistic doosh. What I don't believe is that Trump planned on a bunch of rubes to take over the United States with flagpoles and pretend guillotines. I further believe that there is no actual evidence tying him directly to such plans and actions, and as such, that the trial is unjust. I believe that the fact that this unjust legal activity is happening to a former POTUS and current challenger to the establishment president are the kinds of things that happen in banana republics. I believe that you, being an elite Leftist, think that all fans of Trump are "MAGA," which to you means racist homophobic mysoginistic neanderthal idiots. As such, I believe that you and your kind do NOT believe that they could have acted on their own, because you are surprised that their brains can remember to breathe on their own, such people are so stupid. As such, I believe that you are left to conclude that they acted on the tacit wishes of the evil orange man. I'll stop for now.

Well remember, when Trump said we're gonna fight like hell, he was really telling his followers to storm the Capitol with flagpoles and take over the United States of America.

"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled white protestants yearning to be free. Oh, and some Chinese slave labor to build the railroads." -- original inscription on the Statue of Liberty

You listened to the same podcast with the same data, and this is your response? And I'm being obtuse. I'm sorry the data doesn't fit your liberal worldview. Carry on.

So they went from nothing in various jurisdictions and administrations, to WALLA! 88 felony counts? I mean, that's serious. We're not talking 86, or 87. This is eighty focking eight counts$#@! He must have done lots of bad stuff!

We've clearly established that it is NOT part of our tradition, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are being obtuse and not stupid. Carry on with Tim World, if you ever want to discuss this in the real world, let me know.

I'll take that as a "they'd be OK with some dead Jews."

I need to reacquaint myself with the details here, but isn't this the one where the Feds long ago said it had no legs, but some NY DA with TDS ran on a platform of getting Trumpf$#@!

Agreed, wood. https://www.google.com/search?q=katherine+maher&sca_esv=b153c82eb27ce53b&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn0-C_EHJ-7wuniDX8zghQ5pDXLsy3A%3A1713192149116&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=911&ei=1DwdZrjAL9DdkPIPpfyiuAQ&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZh1K5ZCDrj82Vtfl23KVINAEgbuX0iCi&ved=0ahUKEwi4-taLusSFAxXQLkQIHSW-CEcQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=katherine+maher&gs_lp=EgNpbWciD2thdGhlcmluZSBtYWhlcjILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEyBBAAGAMyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgcQABiABBgYMgcQABiABBgYMgcQABiABBgYMgcQABiABBgYSP4qUABYuB9wAngAkAEAmAGTAaABrwqqAQQxNS4yuAEDyAEA-AEBigILZ3dzLXdpei1pbWeYAhOgApELwgIEECMYJ8ICDhAAGIAEGIoFGLEDGIMBwgIIEAAYgAQYsQOYAwCSBwQxNy4yoAfrXA&sclient=img Unless she started talking, then I'd instantly become a floppy reed.

Do you just post stuff randomly in threads?

I agree with everyone... on Minnie Driver, particularly in that role. Not on Wiffleball shaving his thigh.

So if Jews were killed, do you think these students would weep for the dead and change positions? Or would they be OK with some dead Jews?

Remember, MDC thinks Ivy League students are too stupid to understand what "from the river to the sea" means.

If you want to argue that we are better off with the Palestinian State of Dearborn, go right ahead. Just don't act like that is reverting to the good old days.

I feel like you are acting the doosh, we can agree to disagree on that. And yes, there has always been that disdain for immigrants, at least the non-white-protestant ones. That was my point. There will always be a fear of unknown cultures, that's perfectly understandable. The question is: is it justified? Countries like Sweden might look at their Somali gangs and think... maybe notsomuch. Just because we've had past success with our controlled immigration, doesn't mean that letting in all immigrants today is a good thing. Trying to steer this in a more productive direction: what was your thought on Canada and their focus on education/productivity of immigrants vs. family?

I've got first pick next tourney! Practically guarantees that Scheffler won't play.

You claim to have listened to that podcast but you have gone full retard on this. My point was that you were wrong about our long history of immigration. We have a long history of controlled entry of white protestants from Britain and Germany. In the early 1900s we started letting in Catholics and Jews, for which I'm grateful, because my Polish, Slovak, and Italian Catholic ancestors all came in that window. But then the white protestants didn't like that, so they changed the rules. It wasn't until the Immigration Act of 1965, almost within my lifetime, that we basically opened things up to others. So this idyllic idea of "oooh, Statue of Liberty, give me your tired... we've always welcomed everyone$#@!" is horseshiot. ETA: And I'm being kind with a description of "wrong." If you actually did listen to that podcast, you are either lying or stupid.

Me too. And I've proven I know nothing about golf from this tourney.

The fact is that 30 years ago, when faced with the ability to govern themselves, the Palestinian people overwhelming elected Hamas and their platform of the destruction of Israel, leading eventually to the death of all Jews. All polls indicate that that strong support continues to this day. The Palestinian people are primarily comprised of warring tribes bent on death and destruction. As such, no other Arab country will let them in, and hasn't for going on 80 years. These countries instead view the Palestinians as useful idiots to be a thorn in the side of Israel. This doesn't fit your worldview, so instead of recognizing these realities, you prefer to think there is a large group of peace-loving Palestinians, perhaps because you know a nice Palestinian guy in LA? Whatever, I'm sorry to tell you, but it is not true.

How about you just link to the post where I said immigrants didn't build this country? That's right, I didn't.

I never disagreed with that; are you day drinking? Best you bow out, you look like an idiot on this topic.

So, where do I learn about how the Palestinians, and in particular Hamas, have wanted a 2-state solution for some time, and had Trump invited them to the Abraham Accords, they'd peacefully co-exist. But since they weren't invited, they decided to rape and burn women and children instead. Can you provide me the source? I'd love to better educate myself.
