You have this pattern of saying that every whackadoodle position of the Left is just a teeny number of extreme loonies. Here is Biden backtracking from an initial statement against medically transing kids: This clarifying statement from the White House comes after intense pressure from HRC, other LGBTQ+ groups, and LGBTQ+ state legislators since the administration’s statement last week.

Is POTUS mainstream enough for you?

I think you mean blue ties.

Maybe they should wait 10 years and invent 34 felony charges to convict her with! Only if she is a candidate for POTUS, of course.

What do you think Tim?

Awesome, congrats! Yesterday was our 35th anniversary of getting engaged. We're up in the mountains and our daughter joined us for the weekend, we went out to a really good steakhouse for being in the boonies to celebrate.

No, because he's in it and they say he went and raped a bunch of underage girls! And Biden and Harris never leaked it!

I think you may both be right but be arguing different things. 90s is correct about life in general, but could such life evolve into intelligent life that traveled the universe? There are a few basic ways that 90s list can be satisfied, and he provided two good examples. 1. Mars is a planet that is close enough to the sun to have occasional liquid water. But because of the wobble, it's never liquid long enough for any significant evolution, only possibly the simplest of life. This would be true of most planets because our Moon is quite unique. Earth could never have pulled something the size of our Moon into orbit; other moons are itty bitty things in comparison to the planets. It could only have happened if the Moon collided with Earth in an ideal way as to stick around and get caught in orbit. 2. Europe is a great example of a moon that could sustain life, and I'm excited for our mission there. Europa's power source is the gravitational change from it's non-circular orbit that causes it to oscillate between oval shapes due to Jupiter's strong gravity, causing friction energy. There are clear signs of liquid water underneath. Jupiter's immense magnetic field would kill earth life, but maybe not Europa life. There is an excellent chance of a living ecosystem there, and I believe that these situations contain the most life in the universe. Intelligent? That's hard to say, but let's say it could be. I suppose such life could figure out how to get through the thick outer ice (in Europa's case), and create a spacecraft atmosphere comparable to the "air" atmosphere we create for our travel. So let's call this possible. One problem with the above scenarios, however, is the general presence of water on the inner, rocky planets. As TEK pointed out, these tend to have the heavier elements and molecules, while water and methane are farther out. It is believed that early in the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn entered a resonance which created a gravitational shock wave that pulled in a bunch of the outer objects, which then crashed into the rocky planets and moons. 3. This leaves Earth, which has the Moon, and the water, and the liquid iron core for magnetic fields (that's not too uncommon though). My conclusion is that the most likely sources of significant life are the Europa scenario, and that Earth is quite rare. But, there are a near infinite number of systems out there, so if you divide infinity by infinity you get... who knows? It's fun to investigate though.

Nobody cared about this, or trans in general, until the Left pushed too hard.

That report you had from the pro-illegal immigrant group from Texas? We talked about that and I ripped it to shreds. Meanwhile, I've provided multiple sources for data from Cali, and used the more conservative numbers on my side. I've seen reports that first generation illegal immigrants are a net negative, second generation (which are citizens, at least currently) are neutral, and third generation are a net positive. That makes sense. But there is no focking way that illegal immigrants (first generation) are a net positive in Cali with their impact on Medi-Cal, growing impact on CalFresh (food stamps), schools, language support, medical facilities, and all the general services (fire, police, roads, etc.)

Multiple time I have provided you links for the revenue they bring into CA, and the amount they cost CA in benefits, and the cost far outpaces the revenue. Yet you willfully ignore data that contradicts your worldview. I generally like you as a poster more than most of the other righties, because I think you generally put thought into your posts. But this particular quality of yours is frustrating.

The "premise" of the argument was you accusing me of saying that I believe it is customary to give terrorist prisoners margaritas in El Sal. The exchange we just quoted shows that this is false. You lose. Have a nice day.

Are those goalposts heavy, Tim? Take the L.

Speaking of disingenuous, the bolded is crap. As I stated in my earlier post, this pendulum swing is entirely due to the items I listed from the Left. I'll add to that list: an insistence that we not only tolerate, but celebrate such things.

See, this is where you are a lying hack, because a few posts below I clarified for you: I'll accept your L, thanks and better luck next time. I truly mean that, because when you lose these, which is quite frequent, you flood the board for months on end, like this very example, trying to capture a win. It's almost not worth beating you any more.

Great, thanks. So, it's a states rights issue.

This situation seems like the unfortunate but inevitable pendulum swing after years of Lefties pushing for transing the kids, and pushing for men in women's locker rooms, sports, spas, prisons, etc. I wonder though, since our moderates and Squissy are pushing the point that it was indeed a biological woman: had it been a biological man, would it be OK for the waitress to have kicked him out of the restroom?

I missed that round of voting but I agree with your sentiment -- in my general criteria, outdoors activities are a big plus. I get that people are voting off the Leftie "states," but I would suggest people try to look past the major metro areas and/or college towns. Or not, it's your vote.

John Daly competes as an amateur?

He disappears for weeks or months and I always fear he is dead. So far he has always returned. Im hoping he does again

You have to live in Compton for a week.

He looks pretty athletic:

So you admit you had nothing when I said you had nothing?

Pro tip: not to say it's customary to give margaritas to imprisoned terrorists. You love nothing more than going back and reconstructing these types of discussions. Im confident you have, but havent posted it here because you know I'm right. Customary to give margaritas to imprisoned terrorists, what a don't you are.
