You might have to shout that if you want the constitutional "originalists" justices to hear. They always duck under the bench when those facts are mentioned.

Wow, you've got it all figured out. The men who are currently absentee parents should be actively teaching their children to not give a damn. And the kids should be poorer and hungrier while they learn those painful lessons. About 23% of American kids are in single-family homes. It's about 21% in the UK and 18% in Canada, our closest cultural analogues. Yet there are nowhere -- not even remotely -- close to the number of mass killings. The murder rate in the US is 6x the UK and 3x Canada. And murders/deaths by gun and mass shootings are all even more dramatically gapped. So you can toss out that bit of moralizing. Hm. There must be some difference in these countries. Something that rhymes with nuns?

This "war on men" nonsense is the craziest phony victimhood narrative I have ever seen. Men are dramatically overrepresented in every position of power from business to politics. The idea that we're, as a gender, struggling or having a hard time is as silly as the people who complain about "discrimination" against whites. All of it boils down to men--usually white-- feeling resentful about the erosion of privelege on a gradually leveling playing field.

Eh, he's a polished, well-spoken politician who quietly holds extremist views. Which is worrisome. I'd prefer a bombastic fool like Trump or MTG represent those positions than someone clever enough to make specious arguments that better sell bad policy to the casual voters.

We have the highest incarceration rate in the world--and the most gun violence and mass shootings. If that's your idea of policy that "works" I'd prefer a broken system.?‍♀️

Both appear to be addictive and deadly. But at least the oxyheads are only killing themselves.

The 2nd amendment doesn't have to be cancelled. We have long had regulation of "arms" which can be owned and conditions under which certain arms may be owned.

“For myself, I would see the White Tree flower again in the courts of the kings, and the Silver Crown return, and Minas Tirith in peace: Minas Anor again as of old, full of light, high and fair, beautiful as a queen among other queens: not a mistress of many slaves, nay, not even a kind mistress of willing slaves [Galadriel!]. War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour us all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Numenor; and I would have loved her for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity of a man, old and wise.” Faramir, The Two Towers, Book 2, “Chapter V: The Window on the West,” p. 678-9.

It's tragic how narrow the view is for these people. Tens of thousands of religions in the world and they think that: A. There's one "true" religion B. They were lucky enough to find truth in an old book assembled by old men There's not a bit of logic or sense to it, but they'll fall all over themselves to try to rationalize it. I say if you're the sort of person who finds religion a comfort, just enjoy it. They should spare themselves the embarrassment and spare the rest of us tendonitis from facepalming

There are intelligent religious people. None of them are fundamentalists. I told my 9 year old about the Ark myth and he laughed out loud at the absurdity of it. Yep, not even children are that simple.

Honestly, I'm very confused that in one post you dismiss the very real issues with toxic masculinity, and then I'm this post write a case study about it. The problem isn't caused by acknowledging toxic masculinity, by by the toxicity itself. Guns aren't the only way to kill people, but they're clearly the most common and most convenient. It's a tool for killing. And the availability of tools (or anything, really) does make a difference in his often they are itself. That's an unbelievable fact, and why the notion of controlled distribution of anything exists. I'll grant that even if we eliminated guns entirely it wouldn't eliminate murder entirely, or even mass murder, but it absolutely would reduce those deaths significantly by making the execution of such activity dramatically more difficult.

Trump losing and then just saying that he's won sounds pretty familiar. Hm...

1. Literally nobody thinks that. So you just enjoy your masturbatory hate-fest, as usual. 2. There are 6000+ Palestinian casualties already. 2-3K children. How hard do you think it will be to recruit the next generation of terrorists who think their Israeli rulers are monsters? The cycle of dehumanization continues.

By your logic, you can't support Israel or Palestine without "supporting" the murder of women and children.

No, dimwit. But when he realizes he's caught and makes a deal to testify against his own interests and those of his boss (your Jesus) then he becomes credible. And his testimony will now align with the facts in evidence. The fact that a grifter suckered you with all this election fraud nonsense must hurt your overinflated ego. But don't be too hard on yourself. He suckered millions of other rubes too. There is already testimony--and more to come--that Trump knew full well that there was no evidence of fraud. His inner circle told him over and over that was the case. But, like you, he has a vastly overinflated ego and may have been capable of the same degree of self delusion. But it doesn't really matter what he believed. As mentioned earlier, earnest belief that a crime has been committed is NOT a free pass to commit your own crimes.

Just go fark yourself. In the same exact way you enjoy having conversations with yourself.

Mark Meadows didn't say that their evidence wasn't accepted. He said there was no evidence. "The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election. According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being "dishonest" with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in. ... According to Meadows' book, the election was "stolen" and "rigged" with help from "allies in the liberal media," who ignored "actual evidence of fraud, right there in plain sight for anyone to access and analyze." But, as described to ABC News, Meadows privately told Smith's investigators that -- to this day -- he has yet to see any evidence of fraud that would have kept now-president Joe Biden from the White House, and he told them he agrees with a government assessment at the time that the 2020 presidential election was the most secure election in U.S. history." And, as always, you are lying about Russian Collusion. The FBI does not hold the position that there was no evidence. In fact, the collusion is VERY well documented. You just wave your hands about the fact that Trump's campaign was feeding intelligence and strategy to Russian operatives during the election cycle, while those same operatives coordinated Russia's interference in the US election. Those are facts. Just because in your fanboy lust you've assigned some version of papal infallibility to all Trump actions doesn't make the evidence disappear. Just because you approve of the GRU hack and leak against American politicians doesn't mean it didn't happen. And the FBI documented it thoroughly. Try reading (roughly) pages 50-90 of the Senate Intelligence Committee report.

There's no blanket answer for that. Obviously we should want to minimize collateral damage and humanitarian crisis for non-combatants, but Israel has both a right and responsibility to protect its people. When terrorists attacked the US we flew across the world to fight them. Israel can and must fight the terrorists on their doorstep.

You must be new.?

Again, that is false. I showed you the numbers. Ask yourself why you feel the need to keep lying about it.

WTF are you talking about. These people have admitted that they were lying. Meadows didn't believe it. Chesebro didn't believe it. Powell didn't believe it and defended herself in court by saying you were unreasonable to have believed her. GiuilianI admitted in court that he made false statements about the Georgia election workers. There's no mystery here. They didn't need it to be true. They just needed to convince people like you. And the case is about doing illegal shit to try to overturn the results.

You better find an adult to read that post to you. Honestly, why are you even playing this game. If she had evidence, she would have presented it. Instead, she disgraced, humiliated, almost certain to be disbarred and soon to be bankrupt from defamation suits. Why are you even bothering trying to pretend that her entire scam didn't fall apart. WTF is the point of this charade?

She sure did say that. She also said that you're an unreasonable person for falling for her lies. That you still believe them proves her right (Atlanta) - Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell admitted in a filing in federal court that “no reasonable person would conclude that [her] statements were truly statements of fact.” Powell made the filing in response to a defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. “In the face of legal action, Sidney Powell admitted that her effort to make millions lying to the American people had no facts to begin with,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “While the loss of the Senate due to her lies will have ramifications for years, I most sympathize with those who believed her in the first place and who she now considers not reasonable enough to realize she should not have been taken seriously.” And, of course, she's now pled guilty to criminal charges in exchange for testimony. Oh, and the other civil suit is still in process. She did raise millions of dollars from you rubes for her "non-profit." I hope the voting equipment companies get that too.

Hutchinson is on record with what Meadows told her. "The president's just raging about the decision and how it's wrong and why didn't we make more calls and just his typical anger, outburst at this decision," she said in testimony the committee presented on Thursday. "He had said something to the effect of, 'I don't want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don't want people to know that we lost.'" What do you suppose someone as high-ranking as Meadows said to bargain immunity, hm? Or Powell or Chesebro? Nearly everyone in Trump's orbit has acknowledged that they told Trump that the election had not been stolen. We will see more of these conversations come out. Most of them, including Meadows, have already acknowledged that they themselves didn't believe it. Is Trump there only person dumb enough? Or did he lie and exploit the rubes for his own gain, as is his wont?

Jeebus, dude. Just read. This has nothing t to do with Clinton's server. The conversation is about the DNC hack. Just Putin helping his buddy again.
