  1. Speaking of which, you said you could make an argument about the 14th, but you haven't yet attempted it. Can you, or not? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  2. And why do you think it hasn't been tested for 100 years? Maybe because it's one of the simplest, plainest bits of English in the whole text, and undeniably means what it says? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  3. Ok, so again, please try and make that argument. Y'know, bearing in mind the amendment clearly states jus soli and does not mention jus sanguinis... Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  4. There is an argument to be made for the first part of the amendment. "all persons being born or naturalized in the United States," read as a domiciled citizen - not as a tourist or illegal immigrant showing up to have a kid and, Ta Da!!! My kid is an American. Go on then, try and make that argument... Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  5. That is flat wrong. The news media are subject to libel laws. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  6. You have a rare gift for simplifying to the point of absurdity. Leaving aside the fact that I don't think anyone wants to advocate a strictly feudal military dictatorship - do you think the continuous social disturbances, peasant uprisings and attempted coup d'etats of the Edo period would qualify as 'stability' in modern society? Please, explain. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  7. To call it 'fallen' because it is imperfect means it was once perfect, and implies it could be perfect if it wasn't for us. That isn't true. But again, that's not all you're saying. You're saying that the person with cancer is sick, and because they're sick they deserve to die. Go try that out in a hospital and see how many people are insulted. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  8. No they don't. That's a barefaced lie. They provide Trump administration press releases, without rebuttal. They don't even qualify as a media outlet, they're a PR company. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  9. This is hilarious. You do realise that the majority of illegal immigrants into the USA are Mexicans, right? Do you not think that the reasons Mexicans want to leave Mexico could just be the same reasons Central American migrants don't want to stay in Mexico? That never once occurred to you? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  10. When did congregations of homeless people not exist? and You know you can’t get rid of them by simply not tolerating them, right? What is you proposal of what to do. So... you’re angry that liberals tolerate market forces? Ok, so again what would you propose the government does to artificially control the real estate market? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  11. The DOD press release says nothing about MS13 or Soros funded 'thrill seekers'. Are you qualified to defend your own statements? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  12. To make it look like mail. FFS, no one said insane wannabe serial bombers had to be that bright Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  13. So if and when it is found that the people who sent the bombs are far right wing Trump supporters, you will admit that Trump is evil? No, that does not compute in my mind. Individuals are individually responsible for their own behavior. If blame is to be placed, I would say it falls on BHO & HRC as they are the ones who instigated the divisiveness in the recent past. In that case, I blame you. You thrive on divisiveness, and want nothing more than to see the country split to the point of civil war. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  14. Hi Chris. So you’re saying that President Donald Trump is ignorant, misinformed, and prone to speak out about things he only knows from the National Enquirer? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  15. so it seems you have prejudged the investigation! Good for you, not like that's anything new. Haven't you been pre-judging that Mueller will find nothing ever sinc the very beginning? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  16. Well, it is true that there is a restaurant that serves pizza there. And that people eat there. As far as I know those are the only nuggets of truth in this story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory There is absolutely no reason to believe any of the criminal allegations in this putrid conspiracy story. None. Not even nuggets. It is a very upsetting example of bearing false witness. Consider... [FBI published code for pedophilia] [That code published in social media by James Alefantis] [That code published in revealed emails by John Podesta] Oh for fucks sake. Is that it? Is that seriously it? Someone discussing eating cheese pizza at a pizza place and you think that is any sort of evidence that he is a pedophile? This tinfoil hat madness is beyond a joke. It’s pathetic, delusional and it hurts your country. You are damaging America by propagating this insane level of partisan thinking. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  17. While it's nice that you acknowledge that much, some of your earlier posts leave the impression that you feel that there is a possibility of some basis in fact around the "pizza gate" bundle of lies. Do you now agree that the whole thing was a falsehood? No Do you subscribe to the whole conspiracy? Do you think there may be nuggets of truth here and there? Or do you just think Leftists are evil so there must be something to it? I'm just trying to understand the rationale behind somebody getting on this bandwagon. I go with nuggets of truth. Like what? What nuggets are we talking about? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  18. I know you are not asking me. But here goes with advice anyway. The whole "pizzagate" thing is just disgusting. The more anyone talks about it as if there is even a shred of a possibility it could be real, the less I and most other people think of them as decent human beings. Seriously, the fascination with this matter is just plain horrible. I was actually just looking for a rules clarification from billvon. In retrospect, I agree with you. Just so we’re clear, you agree that anyone who says there’s reason to think Pizzagate might be real is disgusting? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  19. What do you think it means. Do you think that gives credibility to anything else you say? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  20. I agree that the current democratic leadership is old, stale, uninspiring, and a thorough housecleaning is in order. Even here in Georgia where a democrat has a shot at the governorship, it seems to me that the political ads are watered down, way too underplayed. Even when they are talking about Republicans wanting to strip health insurance from everyone with pre-existing conditions they do it without conveying any sense of outrage. On the other hand the Republicans are running ads that make it clear they are completely untethered from any regard for the truth. They photoshop Stacey Abrams photos to make her skin super dark and her eyes and teeth super white to the point where she looks demonic, and then they lie through their teeth saying she wants to unleash sex offenders and armed violent criminals on our schools. They are really playing up the fear angle, and the appeal to racism and sexism is totally in your face. Who would choose an insane criminal-loving black female demon over a nice white boy? But back to the issue at hand, how will pitchforks and marching up (I assume Capitol) Hill at dawn keep the Republicans from voting on those judges when they control the agenda and have a majority in the senate? Republicans are already playing up the "Democrats are nothing but an insane mob" angle; it's hard for me to see how proving them right will sway enough votes towards the democrats to help. Unfortunately it might already be too late for the senate. Pelosi and Schumer should have stepped aside months ago so they could be replaced with dynamic new leaders. Not going to happen now. Don Don, It was meant as a metaphor for taking action. As I think about it now, it would make a great flag for the movement. Joe So what do you actually mean then Joe? The Democrats should use a metaphor to stop the Republicans from using their majority to do things their majority can force through regardless? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  21. A key word is OPINION. True. But to have the 'opinion' that Quanon is a valid source, while the "Main Stream Media" is 'fake news' is simply... Wrong. And that is your opinion. Your side follows media that my side disregards. Therefore we look to other sources as well as back channel comm. Qanon is not back channel comm. A dead mollusc is intelligent enough to know that. OMG Ron said Specops! That must mean he knows what he’s talking about! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  22. You are absolutely right. How dare he get aggressive when defending himself from slanderous lies and exaggerated half-truths. He should've just sat there and taken it like a man. What about when he called it a revenge job by the Clintons? A baseless partisan attack from a man expected to be one of the ultimate arbiters of law and justice, not of party politics. Are you OK with hearing slanderous lies like that from a supreme court justice? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. Predicting that the party with the White House and a Senate majority would get a nominee confirmed. Amazing, if it goes down that way we might as well start calling you Nostradamusmc. Yeah, they'll probably manage to get their own nominee confirmed using their own votes. That's hardly groing a spine, it's what they're supposed to be able to do. The fact that they managed to come this close to fucking it up is nothing short of miraculous, to be honest. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  24. 51-49 in today's vote. Does that mean Q was right or wrong? Given that I don't think anyone believes there are more than 3 or 4 swing votes in play anymore you could give the available options to a blind monkey and it'd have a 25% chance of 'predicting' the result. I wonder what Ron thinks it would prove if Qanon is either right or wrong? Scratch that, Qanon could never be wrong. If it ever seemed to be wrong it'd really be a clever double, triple or even quadruple bluff against the democrats, right? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  25. Then there's his general behaviour and hyper-partisan party political statements during the senate hearings. If you consider the statement "this is a privilege not a right" then appointment to the Supreme Court is the privilege to end all privileges, and it should be strictly safeguarded. If there's a hint that he's not the right kind of person for the job then he doesn't deserve the job. Frankly I thought Flake's statement that he was constitutionlly bound to vote for Kavanaugh's confirmation unless he could be proved guilty was abhorrent. Try getting Flake and his right wing friends to vote for a bill that says business owners have to give a job to any applicant who isn't a proven criminal. Would they support that, or would they say you should be able to refuse to give a job to any person for any reason? Craven, spineless hypocrites Do you want to have an ideagasm?
