  1. If you don't vote for Biden and Trump wins then you own a part of his victory.
  2. Salt of the earth you are, some of us pay for the roads and police that make private schools accessible and safe and do so when we don't have any kids. So whoopty f'n do. By the way where do you think that voucher money would come from? Donations from Libertarian sponsors?

    Species bias? Trap and release has never worked. For example, every weekday morning collection vans drive the neighborhoods collecting kids who are then released into a colony of kids where they do little harm. Has that worked? Nope, there are more of them all the time.

    The American Bird Conservancy believes that TNR not only doesn't work but in fact can make the problem worse:

    So really, it's just another immigrant getting their just desserts.

    Reports are that this one was detrimentally affected.

    The problem is that it not an occasional songbird. Over a billion, possibly 2 or 3 billion, annually in the US are not unusual estimates.

    They're often seen hanging from roadside meat stands in northern Vietnam. The word for them is Meó.

    Lot's of people love cats and others believe that feral are cats worthy of rescue. But around the world loose house cats are a real problem. They are killers. So where are SC posters on this real problem? https://www.salon.com/2023/11/26/cats-have-driven-many-species-to-extinction-experts-share-tactics-for-reducing-feline-destruction/
  10. No one needs reminding about anything. Not in the US or the Netherlands or anywhere that our dumber and religious brethren reside hoping for an autocrat to save them. It's all over but the crying so live large, consume voraciously, and get while the getting is good.
  11. Because of you and articulate voters like you. I've said it here before: if Trump wins you will own your part of it. Brent, wake up man, this is not about your pet beliefs. This is about a war between the continuation of our Democracy and a slide into Autocracy. Anyone who cannot see that is nowhere near as smart as they think they are.
  12. You nailed the impertinent bastard, well played. The last thing we want to do is have policies that encourage the private sector to what the government cannot do efficiently. Here's one for you: Canadian and Communist both start with a "C". Coincidence?
  13. Especially so given the negative impact on EV sales predicted by the teeter totter economics of fuel prices.
  14. He's a pearl, that's a fact.
  15. Absolutely correct, and while America has been suffering from supply shortages, crazy inflation and rising interest rates just for starters the rest of the world has been seeing real economic growth at such a rate that now Ghana is the #2 economy.
  16. Just not in falsifiable science?
  17. You could not have validated the anti-science and investment in the future position any better. Well done.
  18. Maybe you should get your thong in a wad: turmoil in congress by your republican brethren is causing NASA to curtail our unmanned missions to retrieve collected soil samples from Mars. Good job being a reliable luddite in the service of the past.
  19. And it's past time to have surrogates, anyone but him, out touting the results. I don't believe his team is making things happen. I think they are fucking up. Sometimes the boss is not the best face of the company. Enough of this moronic dark Brandon nonsense.
  20. Seriously, someone needs to take my crayons away. Did you know that an anagram of Slim King is Gil Minsk? (also Ming Silk, but whose noticing?)
  21. The last thing I ever want to do is cause problems, as you know, but there is one way to assure he doesn't try that again.
  22. Come on, man, he has coalesced a reformed NATO into making a well coordinated response. In my dark corner, I also think this or that should have been done faster but some things, like sending cluster munitions by the boat load against much opposition, are getting done. We are fighting a proxy war and are, for the most part, doing it by giving away armor we surplussed long ago. Russia's war machine is being severely attritted greatly reducing the chance they will attempt militarily to perfect other irredentist claims any time soon, they are consuming huge tranches of their ethnic populations in the war which may cause social unrest, and the world is getting a ring side seat at viewing what crap equipment they produce. I wish Biden was a great orator, was 15 years younger, was a nifty dresser and a fancy dancer, and didn't have a facial expression that made him look like he was struggling to pinch one off. But by any metric he's a better choice than Trump and I'll be thankful if you'd quit pretending that picking away at him wasn't hurting his chances in 2024.
  23. I'm no fan of his Israel-Hama policy but please tell me where the rest his foreign policy is bad.
  24. I actually think that's pretty cool that you can do that. Congratulations.
  25. Would that be the same sunk cost in the airport where you you lost your skydiving job?
