I came here to post that. @Pimpadeauxwon't listen/read it though. He's too emotionally invested in the falsehood that media outlets like NPR are objective and not Leftist echo chambers. I don't like my tax dollars funding it. ETA: I'll also tag @The Real timschochet. He hasn't posted here yet, but he tends to believe what I just said about Rusty.

I was a successful salesperson in part because I am an astute observer of people. I have been saying that Biden is in cognitive decline since before the 2020 election. Perhaps I err in presuming others can see what is so obvious to me. Carry on accusing me of being a Fox News sycophant.

Biden might welcome taking Pony Boy Trump behind the woodshed. His handlers, however, know that Biden is a zombie with no cognitive ability whatsoever to handle anything but a totally scripted event like the SOTU, with appropriate medication. There is no way they let Biden into an open debate with Trump, or even with a blade of grass. I sure hope the part of America voting for him knows they are voting for a houseplant and doing so only to stop the mean orange man. If there are a lot of people like you who think Biden is mentally nimble, our country is in bad shape.

So, your dig on Trump is that he supports the will of his constituents? Oooh, burn@!#$

Now get your shine box

I can't believe this is news; I've been saying it for years. If you stop puberty, you don't get that time in puberty back. Also as has been discussed in this thread, if you give the opposite hormones (e.g., testosterone to a girl), you are going to cause problems.

Back from the surgery, everything is fine, but it wasn't successful. Basically I struggle speaking when I eat or drink because food and liquids get caught in my throat, and the hope was that they could smooth things out and help me swallow better. Unfortunately, not the case. I can still speak, just not as well as I had hoped. Oh well, moving on...

Sorry to hear I'm at the hospital about to have a procedure. Well, small surgery. Nothing bad. Wish me luck. Go Rahm! Forks up, Devils!

The Arizona ballot proposal would allow abortion up to birth for "mental health" reasons But in your centrist world, there are only Republican extremes.

True, it's more serious to say Republicans want a 13 yr old rape victim to have to bear the child.

I'm 5'11 and 170 now, so Welterweight. I bounce between 165 and 170 so I could make Super Lightweight easily. In my prime youth I probably maxed at Middleweight with muscle. I've been 155 but the most recent time was during chemo...

You are engaged? Poor woman... also congrats!

Where in his post did he say to tell voters that they support abortion? He said to make sure it is not a referendum in November, which could be through, say, reasonable restrictions, with which most of the country agrees. If the Republicans become the side of reasonable, vs. the Democrats who want to kill the baby while it's crowning, that could actually help them.

I hear what you are saying; I'm saying that you care more than they do. My plan makes every possible attempt to give the Palestinian people a choice. And when that time is over... glass.

What bad faith? He is saying you can't impact abortion if you lose, which is true. And if you win, then you are in a position to start boiling the frog, putting in reasonable restrictions then building off of that through education etc. This has been the progressive playbook for 60+ years.

Oops, sorry.

One indicator might be: when the Palestinian people reject Hamas, and install leadership which is interested in the peaceful co-existence of Israel. Because until they do, I'd say with confidence that you are more interested in ending this than they are.

Yes. You do

What specifically in my post was confusing?

I think you totally misread this. Jonathan Haidt is on your side. He is arguing, rightfully so, that the huge uptick in teens (particularly girls) identifying as trans, is due to the clear social contagion going on.

Here is the response I posted back in February. I look forward to your response.

Hamas probably killed the hostages; see the Israel thread. Now what?

To summarize: you believe that Israeli forces should escort aid into an area and wait until they are inevitably shot until your will acquiesce... what exactly? What is your expectation of Hamas in your scenario?

Fock, wish I knew this.
