i learn something new every day. In this case I'm not wrong...just a little weak on being right. Stupid is a two-syllable adjective, which means you can make its comparative and superlative forms in one of two ways: by adding the corresponding suffix or by adding more or most. Stupider vs. More Stupid The form of an adjective determines how you form the comparative. If an adjective contains one syllable, you usually add the suffix -er to make the comparative form. That’s how you get “bigger” from “big” and “taller” from “tall.” For adjectives with more than two syllables, you usually use the word “more” to create the comparative. That’s why you can say that something is “more beautiful” but not “beautifuller.” Two-syllable adjectives mix both rules; some of them always use the suffix for the comparative form (heavier, smellier), while others seem to use “more” (more tepid, more lurid). This is one of the reasons some people think that the comparative form of stupid should be more stupid and not stupider. But the major dictionaries would disagree; stupider is commonly cited as the correct comparative form of the adjective stupid. Stupider is grammatically correct, it is a real word, and it’s been in use for at least the last two hundred years.

As long as you include a side note that says Geo Washington didn't approve of the destruction of property.

I think the correct grammar would be "more stupid". I doubt you can be "stupider".

No...it's not the protesters that are looting and setting fires. Once you destroy property you are no longer a protester. And, once a LEO steps outside of the bounds of the law he is no longer fit for duty.

Always a couple of assholes everywhere. Doesn't mean the entire force is bad.

It's caused by the city not supporting the PD. You can spin it any way you want. They've put the PD in a no-win situation.

No. I believe what prompted the uptick is the belief by those committing crimes that the PD won't care and won't respond.

Minneapolis City Council alarmed by crime surge after defunding police The Minneapolis Police Department’s crime data shows a rise in assaults, robberies and homicides, as well as property crimes and arson, according to Minnesota Public Radio. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than those slain in all of last year. Doh!

Yep. Heart attack in 2010, COPD from years of smoking, overwieght. I'm a classic case.

Unfortunately my wife works in a facility that is totally funded by Medicaid. She loves her population and wouldn't change for anything.

$20K per year? That's $384 per week before taxes. Seriously?

OK. I still think $8,000 for most of the people who were formerly uninsured might as well be $8 million. They won't have the funds to repay it.

I am an adult (mostly) who would probably not survive Covid. If I choose to ignore well known safety recommendations that should be my choice. Here it comes...what about the people they might infect? See the paragraph above. Personally ain't no way in hell I'm indoors with that many people, I don't care who they support.

Honestly don't recall the specifics but I can remember that it was a significant jump.

Glad to hear you're doing fine.

I'm going to have to disagree with your "common" statement.

I hear myself just fine thanks.

They already had the choice and chose not to pay for insurance.

I have a plan that has a $5,000 deductible. It costs us $497 per month. So in reality I have a deductible of $10,964. The myth that people in the medical field have better insurance is just that. That type of coverage is reserved for government workers.

I always love when you try to tell me that the folks who couldn't afford health insurance before ACA can afford an $8,000 deductible. That's funny...

Welcome to politics in the 21st century. They ignore the very simple fact that they are being used. And will be tossed aside, ignored or sacrificed when their usefulness is over.

...to be replaced with plans with huge deductibles. Just like your ambulance ride to the ER the deductibles on most ACA plans mean they might as well not have insurance. So in reality ACA moved millions of people into high deductible insurance plans and told them it was insurance. Nice scam.

Point? Thread title says scumbag pols. I wasn't aware that it was limited to R's.

He's grasping at straws to find some reason to shift the blame away from where it belongs. The left enables this behavior and then acts shocked when they see the result.

Pot meet kettle.... Joe Biden’s Draft Record Looks a Lot Like Donald Trump’s. Do Democrats Care? Just a few months before President Donald Trump received his now-infamous diagnosis of “bone spurs in the heels,” former high school football star Biden got the same 1-Y draft deferment for “asthma as a teenager.” It was one of five deferments Biden received (the same number as notorious GOP “draft dodger” Dick Cheney) and allowed him to avoid being drafted at the height of the war.
