It is not women pushing for this. And AGAIN, equality does not mean 100% or nothing. Women are not physically equal to men... nor is our society disposed to women in the military in general or combat.

There is not one government program I can think of that has not substantially grown in the last 40 years or at a minimum kept up with inflation, not any example of government at state level, definitely not federal, that has not grown or expanded. Revenue is up, not down for taxes collected. You are calling for more spending now, which is different than claiming we are under austerity. Taking 1/3 of peoples money is not absurdly low, and many so called "rich" pay up to half or more of their earnings. Taking more money from people = taking more money out of the economy where money is better spent. Government does an abysmal job spending money or caring about it or doing what is best with it.

Based on what? His public comments after indicate otherwise. “The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy,” he said. “To those that engage in the acts of violence and disruption, you do not represent our country. To those that broke the law, you will pay.” https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/trump-biden-us-capitol-electoral-college-insurrection/index.html

Adults do more than say lame when responding to someone as well... yet again, you want to elevate the discussion, look within. A flag that represents telling people things that are not true and singles out select groups for "pride" is by definition exclusive. That symbol does not represent pride for straight people, which is inherently exclusive. Even now, you exclude people saying only oppressed people need a message of pride. Do you support having a straight pride flag in the classroom?

This was a reflection of your own post. So, if you find it lame and want better... look at yourself.

I am glad we agree then. In no way, shape, or form are the 10 Commandments exclusive of non-religious people. That is absurd! We agree again. If you are primarily animated by bigotry and hate, you might find messages about faith and not killing people offensive.

He did not post that as an example of speech he was somehow against being free speech, he posted that because you tried to claim: "You can't even grasp that the immigrants are leaving there to get away from that bullshit, not coming here to spread it."

I don't know how you can sit here saying we are under any form of austerity right now with a straight face.

She literally said the same thing. "ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THIS (sounds like burrow) BACK?!" Trump literally told them go march peacefully. There is no question what he was saying and that is exactly what the vast majority of folks did. There was no murder and he did tell folks to be peaceful several times during the subsequent violence. The worst offenders that day had come prepared and planning for violence, so no, it was not any incitement from his speech that caused that.

I don’t recall if I’ve been in a discussion with you on this before, so you also agree Trumps speech on January 6th wasn’t any call to violence?

There will never be enough revenue for the spending increases... we have a spending problem.

It is mocking the lefts claims that Trump was inciting violence because he used similar figures of speech, like she did here.

It is a long-standing joke that you can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich.

Do you really believe this garbage, or do you just say whatever random crap you can to avoid having any kind of fact-based discussion because it goes against your extreme partisan talking points?

No. This thread started with a picture of someone with their breasts exposed wearing a G-string with money hanging out of it like a stripper while walking around with a child as an event they were at for that purpose. You can't be honest enough to engage on that though. A nude beach? What business does a child have on a nude beach? A nude beach still isn't the same thing as sexualized dance and entertainment flaunting your body in front of children... but still on the scale of questionable appropriateness.

The issue is not what you or I like or don't like. I don't like much of what you post and you are quite assholish yourself here. Apparently you don't even understand the concept of free speech either.

Sigh... let me know when you have something of significance to say. I don't expect it will be anytime soon. These are the dumb games people like you will play to avoid the depravity these threads are created to show. It's just cowardice on your end.

Make all the silly comments you like... I am still waiting for whatever it is you think you need to spoon-feed me. Lets see it already.

How was that dodging the question? Don't worry, this is not an issue of intelligence. It is an issue of integrity, which you are lacking.

Except... I did not dodge your question. It was more of a statement, and I answered it. You then came back demanding that I answer it as a yes/no question, that you never framed as a yes/no question to begin with. I asked you a loaded yes/no question to point out the dishonesty you were engaged in... and still are, in demanding I answer it as a yes/no.

If you were just there, why did you FAIL to post the link? Statistica: 2016 - 3.27 (Exact Match) 2017 - 3.32 (.01 difference) 2018 - 3.33 (.1 difference) 2019 - 3.46 (.14 difference) 2020 - 3.42 (.18 difference) 2021 - 4.05 (Exact Match) So, what is your point?

As opposed to the lefts answer? Which is to oppose building new water reservoirs because it might kill some endangered slug or something? Democrats and liberal environmentalist nut jobs have opposed building new dams for 40 years now, just like they oppose Nuclear Power. But yeah, sure, tell us more about MAGA... I forgot about how the left opposes desalinization plants too. Every step of the way it is the political left who opposes this stuff.

Your source... the one you did not post a link to? I just checked Statistica, it confirms what I posted almost exactly for most of my numbers and off by a decimal point on a couple others and only 2 had any significant difference...

I just gave you the sources. Is there a particular number you disagree with? Why?

I have no interest in playing your game of jump this high. I gave you the sources of my information. Take it or leave it. They are both publically available and easily searched if you so desire.
