Seriously, do you folks believe dogkys is either INSANE or that Trump is his hero? Myself, I strongly disagree with him on whether concerns over our very concerning deficit is worth another chance with Trump. Truly, knowing what we already knew, that I find mind boggling. Also, giving such a rats ass over DEI discrimination in the workforce to where surgical intervention and collateral harms to more important social, including economic, discriminations are justified also makes no sense to me. I'd say he's taken his Shakespeare a bit too seriously, but that's about it.

Sure, but in law the issue of intent usually determines the level of criminality. Hillary was doofy, Biden was dizzy, Trump flat out absconded with secret materials, hid them in his crapper, and then lied about it all. I'm saying they aren't equivalent wrongs or equally prosecutable.

Did Simone Biles sign with the Warriors?

In which sport are 4’10” females of any color taken over 6’10” males at the peak of their game? Is tunnel ratting a sport?

I agree with you that the deficit is a severe problem. I am not as certain that it is a present problem, in human life time terms that is. What I don't get is how you can blame Democrats for increasing the deficit, which they do, in amounts greater than Republicans. I agree with you that we are too woke as it's called. I don't agree that because we do dumb things in pursuit of fairness for all that the basic idea is wrong. In that area I'd rather err on the side of woke especially given that the actual cost to the rest of us is so low.

Are you OK with $370K per household?

If I may, $37 Trillion in debt (8/2025) divided by 266 million taxpayers equals $140,000 per 2024 taxpayer. Obscene but not a third of a million per.

No need to clarify your position. The big kids took your candy and it somehow brightens your day to see it happening to other kids.

And it may work to sway some but not those who will be put off by our newly formed Coalition for Transgender Studies in Grade School.

No. We have too many if not now when types.

That all depends on what horrifies a person. My own SUPPORT, and vote, for Harris was a vote against the damage any sane person could plainly see coming from another Trump Presidency. I'll wager (for realsie not Canadian style) that most Harris voters were more on that spectrum than any belief that she would be an amazing CIC. I do believe that cackling was a factor in the sense that it was a convenient glue used to bind together a list of shallow beliefs and outright prejudices too many voters used to justify holding their noses and voting Trump.

That’s an unbelievably hard, near impossible one to deal with. When nothing makes sense how can you know what to say? I’m hoping for you, and believing you have the heart and tools to make it through.

If you’re feeling froggy, jump. Let’s do a side bet and the loot goes to Wendy. I’d just be concerned she’d waste it.

So you were just sayin'? Does this mean you'll forgo the Trump TACO quip now?

OK, $50 AUD but the charity is BillVon, which actually means a brewery. D' accord?

$10 Buck US is a pack job. Let's start with a $100 USD and the winnings go to BillVon for putting up with our lame crap.

How much are you willing to bet?

I also quit building my own rocket to go to the moon and practicing Vietnamese in the hope I would ever be understood. So really, believing it futile that a majority of Republicans or our Supreme Court will change the Second Amendment seems in line. But if you choose to believe writing letters and voting third party is the way out of this mess, best of luck to us all.

Which is why telling others to write letters if they care is silly. The Right Wing will not let and tiny bit of erosion to the Second, period.

No, nor did I make the claim. My point, and good luck dissuading me, is that "your team" would never allow meaningful gun control laws.

Your Gun Responsibility law relies on intelligence, flexibility, and a hard willingness to do what is right even if it costs you. Given that those traits are demonstrably antithetical to most Republican politicians I'd say you have some brass to point out the lefts failings.

I cannot fathom how this is not obvious to all.

That's a good point I was intending to make when you came back with just this, so thank you. Their oath: “I (state your full name), Do solemnly swear, (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of ______ Against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of _____ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God” So yes the Ohio Governor called them in, and no order to fire was ever given according to the investigation. The point you miss is none of that matters as it won't the next time a scared kid in a military uniform fires on citizens, even those armed with Subway Sandwiches, because he was sent there by someone to control the voters who, in your example, where protesting a Federal action to wit Nixon invading Cambodia. And they were there following orders, not visiting admissions. How is my thinking it different? Well, I think it's because my position is honest and not criminally self serving, but thanks for the comparison. In quick explanation, I think the originalist position is as fucking stupid as it is dishonestly applied. I think our Constitution should be seen as a living document that needs thoughtful amendments and measured changes to reflect the times not a silly inconvenience designed to get us to the prayed for to come soon end times. I didn't know that. What I do know is that it'll be cops and soldiers assaulting innocent citizens, our freedoms, and the basic tenants of American democracy, not the girls from Hooters, and they'll be there following someones orders, wearing American Military uniforms and gear, and that a solid percentage of them will not give a shit about the business card they tossed or the lecture they heard because they will be happy to do it.

That is hilarious.

Well, if I saw it I might do something even if that something was wrong. And that is why we shouldn't be sending our military out to see things they have no business seeing.
