"No Kings" rallies - More than 5 million took part in over 2,100 US cities & towns
jerryskids replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
I was merely trying to say that I'm not familiar with a site called "Data Republican," nor do I know how one curates the list they have. I won't make that mistake in the future. I'll just post it confidently, like you would. -
Parents call out unfairness as trans pitcher throws shutout in Minnesota softball state quarterfinals

Your first link doesn't have anything of substance. Your second link: you still don't see that it is in the interest of Riley Gaines' cause to spread the word that men are not women, regardless of venue. The belief that men can be women is why men are allowed to compete in women's sports. HTH. Awesome that you are still focusing on the real issue, though. -

lol, I'm not autistic so I didn't spend all day trying to reconstruct the list from first principles. Some, like the ACLU, are known to have financed it. So it's at least partially correct. -

My point was that Squissy doesn't live near the riot area, so his comment about not seeing riots is irrelevant. Speaking of which Gutter, do you ever get tired of saying irrelevant things here? I know I get tired of responding to them. -

You live in like Pasadena, probably Glendale given their recent reluctance to help federal agents enforce immigration law. Big riot area typically, Pasadena? -
I'm in.

#3: Like #1, this is an opinion. You clearly can't identify facts. That being said, I worded that poorly. I meant to imply that people participate because they have nothing better to do (a continuation of the jobless college kid theme), not that the NGOs are trying to keep them busy. I'll split the point. Jerry 2.5, Gutter 0.5 -

Again, RIF. I said anarchic, not anarchy. Here are some synonyms: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/anarchic I bolded a few -- unruly, rebellious, riotous -- which certainly apply to groups which helped organize things, particularly in LA with their face masks: Still 2-0 -

#2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests#cite_note-m578-10 Some progressive groups in that list. This is an interesting link: https://datarepublican.com/nokings/ I can't speak to the accuracy, but click into a few of the companies in this link. Somebody spent a lot of time and effort on this.

Of course there were other people at all these protests, pea brain. Don't forget Antifa! You don't get a win for your inability to identify a fact. Also: Skids 1, Pea Brain 0 -

Let's start with #1. Don't be stupid, that's not a "fact". I was creating a fun persona of a protester. Of course they major in other things, like white oppression studies. Some are also retired people. Some are 50 year old center-right code monkeys. We good on that one? -

Ah, protest season... the weather is nice, and college kids are out of school. The ones who major in things like gender studies and French literature don't have internships, so they need something to do. Thankfully, a bunch of progressive, anarchic NGOs organize and fund protests against... whatever, doesn't matter, the omnicause$#@! to keep them busy and feeling like they are contributing to society. I expect a lot of such "organic" protests this summer. The gubment money spigot is turning off on these NGOs, and they need to create a feeling of chaos and despair to goad caring people like Gutter to donate to their worthwhile cause. -
Look at it this way, you get to draft Spaun with the first pick at the Open!

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!

Thanks! I was pulling for Scott (if not my guys) since I like him and nobody drafted him. Funny thing is, I had a bet on Henley to make top 10, he looked guaranteed to finish T-11, but Scott's collapse took him down to +5 and got me a T-10. I also had Hovland top 10, and those guys with Bobby Mac for top 20, so it was a good betting day. Spaun, what can I say. Dude shoots a 40 on the front, his scorecard looks like mine at the local muni, and he manages to pull it together while everyone around him is imploding. Draining that putt at the end was amazing. I was hella impressed.

Thanks! Quite a turnaround in one day. I really didn't expect that collapse on the back from Burns and Scott.

My entire team is racing backwards at this point. Hovland putts worse than @BiffTannen
