Personal attacks are all any of you have. And Democrats, those currently in power, despise the Constitution and actively seek to fundamentally transform this country.

I'm not going to assign positions to you. Fact is, I don't see you talk policy. It's all an existential battle between good and evil in your binary world. So, you see me as evil because I don't vote Democrat. You also have articulated that Trump and by proxy those who you perceive to be his supporters, want to kill you. The only concern that has for me is if we ever met in a person are you so mentally deranged that you'd shoot me out of self perceived act of self defense.

Are you running for office? Are you a PAC member or a DSA member? Are you donating anything more than nominal amounts of money to political causes or candidates?

If the collective answer is "no" then it doesn't really matter what policies you advocate.

Zed,

You are entirely missing the point. The point is calling the left stupid is dangerously missing the point. The left has an agenda and they are working intelligently to get it implemented.

" UofO into a right wing employment agency"

That's hilarious. These universities are overwhelmingly left wing employment agencies, borderline monopolistically so and you are pissing vinegar that anyone on the right has ANY input into how these universities are run?

Who are you directing that at? Cuz, people right of center are LOVING that Griffin fled Illinois for Florida and took all of that tax revenue with him and his employees and donating that sum to a Florida University over Northwestern is the cherry on top.

You all spent years targeting Trump and his circle. It set a horrible precedent and I warned you that it could come back to bite your party. Trump is a spiteful and vindictive POS. Framing that precedent and running with it was inevitable. Hopefully whoever wins in 2028 will see th longer term damage this crap is doing and will work to put the genie back in the bottle.

" Is charged with felony obstruction of a reproductive care facility"

Frivolously. But the process is the punishment and you know that. Also, a pre dawn guns drawn raid of a man with a clean record? It was targeted lawfare so naturally you leap to defend it.

" No ... About the only thing the government did was remind them of their own policies. The editors still decided to do what editors do, and EDIT."

What a riot! You're nothing if not funny.

"Yo u don't get to call it censorship unless the editors don't want to do something, and the government forces them to do it."

"Thats an awfully nice social media platform you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.' There is no way you are this naive.

"You know, kind of like what Trump has done to a number of media companies"

Example?

" Your "Twitter Files" turned out to be Editors doing Editor things"

At the prodding and behest of the federal government. You would NEVER accept Musk doing that now at the behest of the Trump administration, nor should you. Bit back then it was (D)ifferent, wasn't it?

No."

No."

Here is a link:

" Am I doing this right?"

Yep. If he donated that money to Northwestern he'd be praised to the nth. But because he left Illinois for Florida the donation has to be derided.

Danforth,

I've done so on countless occasions and it's more than just Trump. Ever hear of Mark Houck?

Also, I've provided all sorts of links in the past and you just reply, "Nuh uh!"

He's a hell of a lot smarter than you, but at least you didn't tell him to off himself, so there is that. You are arguing just for the sake of arguing. You aren't even addressing the points being made. Calling people stupid but not even addressing their arguments makes you look, well, stupid.

You wanna make someone you think is stupid look stupid? Decimate their argument with facts and/or logic. Your attack dog style is tiresome and boring.

Strawman alert! Also, completely unrelated to this thread. But then, you don't comment on topic much any more. It's almost exclusively personal insults and nothing else. It's all you've got.

" Remember when you claimed censorship under Biden, or grift, or weaponization, and couldn't find any?"

Clear examples of all of those things. You just claim that things that happened didn't actually happen.

More specifically, from the article, this is what I was referring to:

" France's third problem is a government expected to provide for and handle practically everything. French government spending as a percent of GDP is a whopping 57% (versus only 37% in the U.S.).

All that government has bought abysmal growth and stagnant incomes. In the 1980s, France's per capita GDP was roughly 93% of America's. Today it is only 72%, and the median American has about 50% more disposable income than the median Frenchman, after taxes, cash benefits, and differences in purchasing power.

When the government is the largest allocator of resources, people focus their productive energy on persuading it to allocate in their favor. The wealthy and connected do their persuading with lobbyists (or bribes). Everyone else does it in the street. Hence the French pattern: farmers, rail workers, and students always seem to be protesting something.

In a freer economy, people get ahead by focusing their productive energy on providing goods and services that others want. When the state allocates less, there is less to gain by setting buses on fire.

Want to be like France? You know how to vote

Three policies are driving France's slow-motion collapse:

Punitive minimum wage laws that price the young out of work.
Unchecked immigration that ignores cultural compatibility and assimilation.
An overgrown, suffocating state that crushes economic dynamism.
Curiously, these happen to be the crown jewels of the American progressive left. Roughly 90% of all Democrats support doubling the minimum wage. More than 70% of "strong liberals" support removing ALL immigration restrictions. And 79% of Democrats want bigger government, a share that has climbed steeply for 30 years."

Fake. Nope. I listen to what they say when they let the mask slip and I observe their policies when they are in power.

Wanna know why I don't vote Democrat? This is what they want for the US.

Well played.

JPW,

You are a very dumb person. Bottom line is Illinois now gets $0 in taxes from Griffin and just lost 2500 jobs to Miami and all of the income tax revenue those employees will be paying. That's the point of this thread. And it apparently flew right over your conceited head.

The article heavily quoted the Chicago Tribune which lays out all of the problems associated with chasing the wealthy out of the state, moron.
