No, being authorized to shoot is different than actively trying to assassinate. I'm surprised I need to explain this to king of semantics here. Have you conceded that you are full of shiot on the "dictator" statement?

Well, yeah, but that's a lot different than hate. You seem to be really reaching for some kind of win here.

The allegation Trump actually made, not your Lefty X guy.

I have no idea how you would draw that conclusion.

No, kylegriffin1 does. The Garland quote doesn't say it.

What does that have to do with my answer?

No but I think the inverse is true.

The only benefit of my breathing out of a hole in my throat is that, for certain occasions, I need no air through my mouth or nose.

I don't think so, exactly. I THINK he thinks it's better. I KNOW he thinks it is a great life choice. Somebody here, maybe you, didn't mind his statement "but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world." If this statement is fine, then he is talking to such women with the ensuing story about his wife, telling them that it is not only OK to be excited about those things, it is great. Anyway, I feel like we've reached that point where I'm increasingly unclear what small differences you are arguing about.

You do realize that a good portion of your party thinks Trump has weekly status meetings with Satan, right? Also believes stuff like "I want to be a dictator." I just had that pathetic discussion on this board this morning.

I was going to post this. CMH by himself out-obnoxiouses the entire fanbase of any other team. Also, living in Phoenix, it's a tie between Laker Fan and Dodger Fan. A bunch of them move here because their city sucks and ours doesn't. More recently, Dodger fan. Which made upsetting them in the playoffs last year all the sweeter. I didn't want to post about the Dodgers yesterday, because the DBacks were playing there and I didn't want to jinx them. It worked; DBacks whooped them 6-0 to win the series. The Dodgers will still win the division, since they've spent a bazillion dollars on a murderer's row roster, so I'll take small victories.

He advocated for women being homemakers. There is an implicit "all" when you advocate for something. If I say, "I love my Roborock vacuum, it's great!" I'm implicitly saying that I think everyone should get one. I'm not expected to say, "or, if you want to buy another one, that's great too!" I think you are reading too much into your inference of this "all" thing.

Agreed. I don't expect most people to even know what a recession is. It's a catch-all for "things are worse." The unemployment misunderstanding is worse. Especially since we recently came out of Covid when you KNOW employment was worse.

Bless your heart. Anyone who listens to his entire statement and thinks he wants to be a dictator for his entire term... be careful if you enter the real world, Squissy. It's scary out there. https://apnews.com/article/trump-hannity-dictator-authoritarian-presidential-election-f27e7e9d7c13fabbe3ae7dd7f1235c72

I definitely don't think the second thing approaches anywhere near shaming. For "diabolical lies," is it strength of the phrase you find shaming? If he had said "told untruths" or even "misled," would you find that less shaming? To me, shaming is a negative message of "if you don't stay home with your kids, you suck." Instead, as I said before, Butker emphasized the positives of his and his wife's experiences.

The Catholic Church is NOT playing both sides of the fence on abortion. The Church is quite consistent (and active) in its opposition to abortion. I think he was referring to Biden there.

Yikes! My best friend from my main work industry is an Aggie. His dad said, "you can go to school wherever you want. I'll pay for A&M." Here in AZ there are basically two large schools, ASU (Phoenix, Tempe technically) and U of A (Tucson). There is always trash talk whenever the teams play, but all my kids went to ASU, as did I for my business degree, so we have no local family issues.

Luka's whining on full display the past few minutes. Whining at teammates, officials, and opponents for beating him to the ball.

Go Wolves! I hate Luka, and Minny beat the Suns earlier.

Same, brutha. I married into a UM family so I need to defend them. Also we have a niece who went to MSU so that adds drama.

Appreciate it. Mostly I'm looking to see if it sheds light on why people support Trump, other than being a bunch of knuckledragging phobaphobes.

Agreed.

No, Rusty is. His ABC link said the same thing about assassination, which isn't what Trump said.

MSU guy says wut?

No, I'm saying that Rusty is FOS by saying that Trump said the FBI is trying to assassinate him. But in his defense, he is going by the ABC article he linked, which is equally FOS. MSM is the beacon of accurate news, right Tim?
