I appreciate the post. Im not saying there aren't valid reasons to be dissatisfied, in general or with Trump, although the question didn't mention Trump. I'm saying zero. You can't get 100% of a people to say the earth is round, or revolves around the sun. Nobody got a new job, or promotion? Married the love of their life, or had their first child? Retired early, investments doing well? Zero is statistically impossible without significant group think.

What I posted is the obvious, and you are either too obtuse or too gaslit to get my point. Of course, you are one of the Lefties who deludes himself that whacko positions on the Left are just fringe crazies, not mainstream. Yet 0% of Dems are satisfied. None. Nada. That just seems statistically unpossible.

They're not very smart. 0%. It's Jerry's fault!

Wut? I didn't make the poll. Think hard about this: you are saying I've fully bought in because 0% of your side is satisfied.

I'd like to have a serious discussion on legitimate concerns regarding the upcoming Trump presidency. I've got some friends and family who aren't handling this well, much like the 4B and other sky screamers on Tik Tok and the MSDNC. I would like to have a rational discussion with them, and with you. Doing so IMO involves acknowledging legitimate concerns they may have. To that end, please state on an actual concern that the Left might have which is potentially valid. I'd like to acknowledge these in such discussions. Here, I'll start, for @The Real timschochet 's benefit: If Trump institutes the tariffs in the way he's described, it would likely cause a significant increase in prices for a lot of everyday goods. I've argued that this is part of his "art of the deal" to get China to negotiate, but that is my opinion only, so this is a valid concern. I don't want to limit discussion, but I'll say right now that "he said he'd be a dictator on day one" is dumb and not going to make the cut, since this is childish and has been debunked. I'll collect rational concerns in the following post. TIA!

0% can only be explained by an utter and complete mindless lemming gaslit collection of vapid human shells. 0%. You would get higher than that if you asked if murdering innocent babies is bad.

First, you've gone full retard on the margarita thing. I explained why you are wrong, and you are too stupid to understand, instead responding with "but this one goes to eleven!" Anyone who followed this laughs at you every time you bring it up. I certainly do. Second, you seem to think you know a lot about The Free Press. Does that mean you follow them? If so, why don't you ever post from them? You eagerly post from admitted pro-Hamas hack sites like +972 and DropDeadGaslight. I thought that, being an unbiased moderate, you would post opinions from both sides? It's a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. Hack. Third, yes, I've seen pictures. Have you seen the pictures of the much larger areas which are not destroyed? How about the majority of people who are not starving? No? Probably because those don't exist. That's not newsworthy for you pro-terrorist Lefties.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. All these people have free time because of holidays from their jobs... meh, who am I kidding, these shooters probably don't have jobs.

First, I readily admit I'm biased towards the western democracy that could have turned Gaza into glass on 10/8, but didn’t. You are on the side of Hamas, but lack the self-realization to recognize it. Second, The Free Press leans towards Israel, which one would expect from a Jewish run organization, unless you ran it. Meanwhile you have moved from DropDeadGaslighting to +972 Hamas Reuters and the Guardian.

Is anyone else impressed by Tim's unbiased, moderate X feed?

But sure, some civilians have died. Perhaps you can help me decipher the graph -- do the other evil countries bury their terror tunnels under mosques, hospitals, and schools? So they have the civilians house hostages?

I don't love my team. I was really shocked that no RBs made it to the 2-3 turn, but Bowers was still there. So I grabbed Bowers, giving me the #1 TE and WR (Chase), but then reached to grab Hampton, who I really like to become the bellcow earlier than later, but it's a risk and it was not great value. I don't love Conner this year as I think Benson may overtake him, but I did get Benson as a handcuff, so that's good. The Cards plan to run a lot this year, so hopefully either one is viable, and if there is an injury, the healthy one should be RB1 possible. I took some risks with young WRs McMillan and Hunter. One of my achilles heels is that I cut my teeth in a deep keeper league, so I have a soft spot for high upside rookies and young guys (see also Hampton). QBs... jeebus, you guys were drafting backups in the 8th round?! I grabbed Caleb and McCarthy (two more upside guys) at the 10-11 turn. Obviously not a strong point of my roster. Interestingly, ESPN thinks I have the 2nd best team, yet I never even looked at their rankings during the draft. Probably the kiss of death for me. But, if some of these upside guys live up to their potential, I should be OK.

My mistake, Sunday. And I meant 20 total, year-old comments. So your big gotcha is that things changed in a year. Should I bump a comment from Obama that marriage is between a man and a woman FTW$#@!

Margarita Maryland Man Van Holland! Have you ever stopped to think, Tim: for a person like Van Holland, or a reporter from Reuters +972 or AP Hamas Branch, what do you think they are going to report if they go in, or fly over? Do you think they might say, "you know, it looks mostly peaceful, markets are open, people are milling around"? Or do you think they are going to find something, anything, to keep up their narrative that they and you have so deeply bought into?

This is a remarkable lack of self-awareness. You spent months on a 24/7 autistic tear desperately seeking videos of young men running and IDF shooting sand. BTW, a Reuters camera is a Hamas camera. Or did you forget that Reuters uses a +972 Hamas-nik as it's "journalist"? So let's talk about the camera. I presume Israel says it is there to monitor IDF's activities or some similar security concern. In your world... it's what, going to capture the heinous war crimes that Israel commits daily? If so, where is the footage from before Israel blew it up? Pro tip, there isn't any, because the footage is used by Hamas, as expected.

I was about to post, @Ron_Artestjumps into the internet at 7AM on a Saturday and replies to 20 year-old comments.

I was driving home from vacation. I thought about buying a smoker and sitting in the parking lot all day cooking my own, but then I realized that was Gutter level stupid.

Here is a Yahoo article on this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/chp-protect-ex-vp-kamala-234453078.html CA, or maybe LA, can pay for her security on her upcoming world wide book tour. Doug Emhoff is only worth $8M, so he can't afford it. Also from the article: Trumpf$#@!

I had their brisket sammich last week. It was pretty good.

The WHO is a political arm of the UN which unapologetically advocates for trans rights. From your link: The effort to depathologize transsexuality is a (powerful) movement, not based on any medical reason. Also: Again, not science. It is justified by greater normalization in society, and because it makes people with the mental illness feel bad. No medical reason. I've got a much larger post to make on this topic, probably its own thread when I get around to it, that shows that the AMA "experts" are anything but. But for now, suffice it to say that the WHO made a political decision, not a scientific one.

For that subset of people, I think there is a discussion. As a thought experiment for such people who seek medical solutions: if a person with no other underlying issues truly believes that they'd be happier if they cut off their arm, would the medical community endorse it and help them do it?

How do you or they know there is no other underlying issue, if you don't have therapy?

What road? You are the one with the implication that therapy wouldn't help mentally ill people. Saying that there are people with gender dysphoria doesn't mean that they can't benefit from therapy. First, a growing majority of trans, particularly in children, are victims of social contagion, and don't have gender dysphoria. They need therapy to uncover and address the underlying issues which lead to their false belief. Second, those with gender dysphoria very well can have underlying issues driving their false belief as well. Or perhaps not. I'm not a mental health expert enough to prescribe a specific therapy regimen, but it boggles my mind that for every other mental illness, the medical profession works to address it, but for this one, they not only don't, they celebrate and encourage it.
