The Real timschochet 6,610 Posted December 1, 2023 I heard somebody make a suggestion this morning: at all future debates, whenever people start calling each other liars, there could be some expert on stage that would say “actually yes this is true” or “no that’s not correct”. A fact checker that would serve the same purpose as instant replay. The only problem is nobody would agree on who the fact checker should be so it probably wouldn’t work. But I was intrigued by the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are intrigued by such of idea. This is why I think you are a bootlicker for the authoritarians....because you are. You do not value individual freedoms, you worship at the alter of the elites. All that has to happen is for some asinine thing to get printed in the NY Times and it is the 'truth'...such as your latest moronic claim that the GOP does not want Hunter to testify in public.

You buy these 'truths' hook, line and sinker. - masks are effective Depends on your definition of "effective". Masks decrease the rate of spread of airborne bacteria and viruses, but masks don't fully prevent it. I call that effective. - getting vaccines prevent the spread. Primary purpose of the jab is to decrease the severity of covid cases, not to prevent the spread. Some vaccines are effective enough to prevent the spread of the target disease, but the covid vaccines aren't there yet. - a 2 degree warming is the tripping point Yeah, never understood where this tipping point came from. I hope that this tipping point isn't real, as we're going to sail past it. - oceans will rise 20' in the near future Again, depends on your definition of "near future", but the most doom and gloom forecasts I've seen have a 20' ocean rise in the second half of this century, which doesn't seem like the near future. - Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation No into on this, but it seems highly unlikely. - Covid did not originate in a Chinese lab No info on this, but maybe?

They acted like 6 year olds. I actually agree with you on this point. Though I don’t think you’re always smart enough to know who is telling the truth. Nobody is. For instance, the ten minutes of the debate last night that I watched (all I could tolerate) had the two guys completely contradicting each other about statistics in a wide number of topics. I would have liked to have seen, in real time, what the actual truth was. But I do agree with your point as well. The absolute worst debate I ever watched was the first one between Trump and Biden in 2020. Last night was #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought masks had been proven to work in studies. - I thought it was pushed in the workplace to reduce the possibility of lawsuits from workers who could claim they were exposed to COVID on the job. - Pretty sure we're in agreement on tipping points. -" In addition, in his 2006 global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore predicted that the global sea level could rise as much as 20 feet "in the near future." " So, not 2020, but still irresponsible. Regardless, I still haven't seen any credible studies that pushed this idea. There are, however, credible sources that predict more than "a few inches over 100 years". NOAA On the plus side, at least you guys have transitioned away from climate change denial, and aren't even seriously contesting greenhouse gases as the driving cause of global warming. - I really haven't followed the laptop story, much like I barely followed Benghazi, because it amounts to a big SO WHAT? if true. - So I read your linked article on lab origin, and it's not conclusive. Seems very possible though. NY Post, which is not a liberal rag "Wray’s comments were aired two days after it was reported the Department of Energy determined with “low confidence” that the virus that causes COVID-19 came from a Chinese laboratory. The Wall Street Journal’s Sunday report had also revealed that the FBI concluded with “moderate confidence” that a lab accident in China was the origin of the disease."

Not Trump level sleezy, but still pretty sleezy. If you can find a smoking gun, I'd go with impeach. But you MAGAts defended Trump despite the fact that he obviously attempted to leverage his control of American foreign policy for his private gain, which is even worse than your best possible case against Biden. Personally, I'd be thrilled if you find a smoking gun, and I'd happily support impeachment, b/c fock him if this is true, and the Dems will find someone else who's better. and China for having access to and influence to his dad, and his dad is being enriched as well.
