Of course it is. How do you express your ideas, other than screaming into the void? You want to create a poster to stand on the corner? That costs money. The poster costs $$$, the markers cost $$$, your car to get to the street corner costs $$$, the gas cost $$$, the time you took from your day has an opportunity cost to it is not direct if you were not working, that is $$$. Every practical aspect of how you or anyone else engages in speech costs $$$. Democracy was not for sale. No one was bought, those that voted made their choices.

Do you just say stuff with no care about it being true? His unit did in fact see combat, the Command Sergeant Major who took his place was there, the one criticizing him. The Guard doesn't selectively recall people, things like that are a big deal and are used for emergency purposes and does not change the evidence we have from others who served saying his motivations to leave were to avoid being deployed.

That is what happened here. Oh really. How about if I said you had no business talking about this and should be put in prison for doing so? It is called free speech. Money = Speech.

Yet, you keep ignoring the fact that Biden doesn't support the destruction of Hamas right now, nor has he for months. His administration is pushing for a lasting ceasefire that would leave Hamas in power. Biden is not out there calling for the swift destruction of Hamas. Biden has been slow walking aid to Israel and using it as leverage against them. Biden is publically condemning Israel and criticizing them for taking out terrorists, even the one responsible for killing our own Marines for crying out loud.

No, you bringing up child support is disingenuous. Which is why you refuse to answer the question. Child support means nothing in whether it should be OK or not to kill the unborn child. So, why bring it up? Which ones need them, be specific. Be specific. What words did I force into your mouth? What did I play with context on to support what propaganda? You have almost nothing left but these vague assertions that are meaningless because you can't directly respond to me as I am picking your comments apart. Here you go again. What does pain have to do with anything? What is the point of using that as some measurement for when it is OK to kill the unborn child? Again, you can make a 5 year old feel no pain. Is it OK to kill them for the mere convenience of it as long as it is painless?

I am saying you were not in the comment I initially responded to and I gave you a chance to be more clear. You chose to play these games instead. Your comment: "You have yet to show evidence a fetus feels pain." Part of my initial response: "Do you really need me to show you evidence for that? Really? Or care to adjust your statement here?" I was quite reasonable in my response to you. You chose to continue down this path of absurdity.

This is not complicated. You clearly do have a point where you believe life begins. As I asked you before, do you consider yourself to be a human life? I presume yes. So... trace that back to when you are not sure, then you have the moment where you are sure. But even then... if you are trying to say you are not sure when the unborn child is a human life, why wouldn't we error on the side of caution then? Protect human life. I have said before here and will say in any discussion I am in, when two rights to life conflict, only one can win. Yes, if the life of the mother is at stake, then an abortion is her choice if she wants to risk her life or not. No one can step in to help if a newborn is abandoned in the woods, or a trash can, or anywhere else... if no one is there to help. Being dependent on the mother for survival doesn't change between an unborn or born child. That isn't an excuse to then kill the unborn for the mere convenience of it nor a reason to say the unborn is not a human life with any right to life. This is a circular argument... you are trying to use your own disagreement as justification for how hard this is. The fact that people on the Pro-Choice side are just fine with killing unborn children for the mere convenience of it and it is difficult to convince them otherwise is not a valid reason to then say this disagreement is justification for it. That is circular. I think "contraception" that does something AFTER conception to kill the unborn is wrong. That is no longer "contraception" anymore.

Which part of mine demands evidence? So, you support killing 5-year-olds if men bail on child support for them? What does this point of yours have to do with anything? Bailing on child support is not a "lawful" exit ramp. There is no "as well" here. Speaking of child support though, if men want nothing to do with the child, you cool with them not paying child support? This was never a point of the discussion to prove. But, back to killing 5 year olds... if a woman is better off killing her 5 year old, are you cool with that? What does this point of yours have to do with anything? It is not sensationalist to point out the stupidity of your arguments, like those I just responded to above, if applied to a 5 year old are destroyed, as we are talking about killing a human life. Be specific. Which points? How so? Be specific. Which argument? What did I deflect from? Be specific. What didn't I support, be specific. I pick apart every one of your lame responses. You missed all this, once again you ignore my posts because they destroy your silly comments: " A fetus the moment before birth doesn't feel any pain. You are not serious, you can't argue well, you can't defend the things you say, so you resort to this garbage. Seriously, you do not need a medical study to admit that one second before birth a fetus can feel pain just as it could one second after birth. This is basic logic man. "

"the squad" is the nickname for the left-wing id10ts like AOC, Bush, Ilhan...

Uh, we are talking about the hostages in Gaza held by Hamas. When have the Russians set a trap in Russia like this?

Just stating facts. You were confused earlier as to why it would be absurd to put tampons into the boys restroom. If you wanted actually to claim you did not lie, this would have been a great time to admit you were wrong and apologize. Doubling down on being, well, whatever you are... only further proves what a liar you are. No integrity. None. I don't have to try to be on the high ground here when you so willingly wallow in the mud all on your own.

What is amazing is how we are on page 6 and you completely ignored all of the actual arguments presented and the evidence/facts to back them up.

Why... its almost like you are cheering for Russia. That or you have some kind of special knowledge of Russian operations...

Biden has done more than insist on a post war strategy and their assistance came while demanding they halt their war against Hamas until they had one. No, Biden has threatened weapons delivery and withheld weapons from Israel, his administration drops leaks of their conversations where Biden is condemning Israel for killing their enemies including our own that was responsible for killing our marines in Beirut... You don't see this administration out there saying anything this forceful to Hamas about our own hostages nor do you see Biden out there fighting for our own hostages to be released. No, this administration continues to demand a ceasefire and that Israel must be serious about it... You sit here saying you support Israel pushing this war for unconditional surrender, but that isn't what this Biden administration is supporting. They want a ceasefire.

Change the topic... as opposed to how you run away from any comments that don't go your way and then respond to no one in particular with vague nonsense?

And?

We know the circumstances for this discussion and my question. You keep avoiding it.

"like" it never happened. No one can deny he served in that role... but he FAILED to fulfill the obligations to earn that rank, thus he was demoted. He certainly doesn't go around bragging about being demoted now does he? No, he lies and dishonestly brags about being something he never earned. Gee, I wonder why people who served in the military find that dishonest. No, it wasn't. He retired as an E-8 because he FAILED to fulfill the obligations to earn that rank.

The fact that you only think half of that is wrong shows you have no clue what you are talking about. Care to try again?

The fact that you label me Putin/Trump loving shows you have no clue what you are talking about. Care to try again?

How does this disprove anything I just said as Baloney?

No, you are a coward hiding. Rumors of deployments come before official orders. When I deployed to Iraq, my unit first asked if I wanted to go, then months later after knowing there was a slot for me and asking, I finally got official orders. Same thing happened when I volunteered for Afghanistan twice. Both times I was told I was going and then months later when they realized they already had the slots filled and didn't need me, the official orders never came. This is a dishonest game being played by folks acting like you don't know you are being deployed or could be until the official orders come.

Proof was provided by two CSM's who did serve in the same unit in the National Guard and retired too... so no, it is not just a bunch of keyboard warriors. I also served in the military as well. Of course you are a coward hiding from me, so you don't see any of this. If YOU had any time in the service, you would know other service members find this kind of crap misleading at best, and dishonest to represent yourself as something you never actually earned.

Duh. This was never in doubt. Which is why I said your question was stupid. They didn't say it magically disappeared. Neither did I. The argument has been and continues to be that it was conditional, he failed to meet the conditions. Thus he was demoted and only retired as an E-8. That isn't what the claim is that he lied about. The lie is that he said he retired as a CSM, he did not, it is that he brags on being a CSM AFTER knowing he was demoted because he never fulfilled the obligations.

No, that is not bribery. Bribery is paying someone to do something illegal. Selling policy positions is what almost every politician does. Is it bribery when teachers unions back Democrats expecting certain policies in return? On, and on, and on.
