Yeah Helene as a whole was exponentially worse. I’ve seen some people say how the emergency personnel in Texas are doing so much better than Helene which is silly. Obviously the deaths are tragic especially with many of them being kids. But looks it’s from one river pretty much in one fairly small area, which is a little easier for the emergency personnel than Helene’s damage which was caused by probably dozens of bodies of water and spread out over hundreds of miles, in the focking mountains. It’s really a miracle there weren’t more deaths.

Speaking of that sentence, for the people that claim Riley Gaines “just wants men out of women’s sports,” here is Wu’s opinion of Ms Gaines: https://x.com/BriannaWu/status/1817169816626553245 I appreciate the increasing frequency of these comments from Riley because it gives away her game. Yes, it’s reasonable to have a public policy discussion about trans people and women’s sports. But her political project doesn’t stop there. She’s disgusted by LGBT people and wants to eliminate them from public life. This is, of course, anti-American and anti-democratic.

No arguments here. I think this forum could particularly learn from this sentence: Then we could change the conversation to what it should actually be - why are people so dehumanizing and cruel to trans people?

There’s @BrahmaBulls “ignoring” me again, lol.

“Correctly,” lol

You drunk?

I thought we were trying to reduce the need for the legal system? Doing this “case by case” would be silly IMO. I think you have to make the kid a citizen if either parent is. Reading the EO that’s what it sounds Iike to me, but it’s a little lawyer-speaky

If Trump wins, what exactly is the proposal? If either mom or dad is a citizen then baby is a citizen, correct?

If you weren’t talking about Gaines, then your post was a whataboutism. HTH

I think him not running would be far more likely, but I can accept the lol-ness being debatable. Thinking that there’s a chance the “margaritas” were anything but intentional propaganda on the part of Bukele is definitely lol-worthy though.

Not many people living within 0.5 mile there buddy. And there were some women and children at the aid stations. On video even (just not being killed).

So you think Occam’s razor would say that the most likely outcome would be that he’d run? I acknowledged that it was theoretically possible that he would run, but I don’t think it’s the most likely since it would take a lot of resources to pull off successfully, and if he’s caught they’d do worse things to him than they did at CECOT

Well if you think there’s a chance Abrego Garcia was drinking a margarita then you’re not a respected poster anymore

You’re so predictable

Maybe in the “culture,” not for focking imprisoned “terrorists,” JFC. I better not see you ever talking about Occam’s razor on here again. And I already provided the evidence that neither Van Hollen nor Abrego Garcia actually drank either of the drinks. And it can also be proven that the drinks were placed on the table after the meeting had already started. And based on the appearance of the drinks there’s a good chance they were just water anyway.

I know, I was laughing that you were leaving open the possibility that it might be “customary” to give imprisoned “terrorists” margaritas. lol

You think Occam’s razor would give much possibility to imprisoned “terrorists” being served margaritas? Lol

Didn’t he admit to breaking the rules, then even admit to being wrong about denying that he broke the rules after you quoted his original post admitting to breaking the rules?

Agree. Well apparently @Strike If you would like to start a thread about Keith Olbermann and tag me asking for my thoughts you are welcome to do so. But I won’t have much to add because I don’t follow him so I don’t see much of what he says, and thus I don’t really know whether or not he’s “obsessed” with Gaines. Maybe he is, it’s still irrelevant to the thread as the reason I bumped it was to show her using the assumption that someone is gay as an insult, the fact that it was Olbermann is not material. Even if he is “stalking” her there are plenty of ways she could have insulted him without using an assumption he’s gay in a negative way.

I “responded” to you. I really don’t give a sh1t about Olbermann, he’s irrelevant.

As he correctly stated, if anyone had drank from the glasses there would have been some salt/sugar missing. There wasn’t. I do need to admit I was wrong though. You don’t only believe your side. You do also believe fake news from CBS if it backs up your claim like with the kid in North Dakota.

I was “ascribing negativity to it,” because she was. Again, unless your contention is that her calling him “obsessed” and “unhealthy” isn’t negative? As @Maximum Overkill correctly pointed out, he’s just giving her the attention she wants.

Lol I can’t believe we’re having this conversation, I’m done. It’s obvious it was propaganda and I provided the evidence. Not my fault you’re a sheep that will only believe what your side says to believe.

It will, but I have to think he’s more aligned with Republicans at this point so I’d guess he’d pull more from them than Democrats . Although most Republicans will do whatever Trump says so if he says to turn on Elon then I’m sure they will. Tough to say what will happen

C’mon Jerry, I know you’re more honest than @Strike. Are you really gonna try to argue she wasn’t calling Olbermann gay as an insult?
