"Do you belong to this Christian Sect? If you don't why do you even care?"

Because this is a Macro dial. At the fork in the road, they chose more inclusive.

"yes. Like the Capitol."

On the contrary: in January 2021, that square block had the highest violent crime rate of any in D.C.

"everyone is leaving Califoranges and heading to Texass."

Well, look at it this way: the average IQ of each rises.

"Missouri, the Ralph among Simpsons characters"

All boogers taste good, but my boogers taste best!

"Replace guns with pot and most of you would be throwing a party."

So, wait...

Now you're AGAINST Sanctuary situations?!? Just yesterday, you were for them, supposedly even before a Republican had done it.

Now, it sounds like you were faking prior support, and your reaction changes based on the letter after the name/action.

"So what happens if the audits there find Trump lost those states?"

Republicans are too cowardly to pick a close one, say North Carolina.

Utah first. Then Wyoming, and that (possibly) dastardly Arkansas.

"Semipermanent Fi Boys!"

Some days, it upsets me the system doesn't recognize my flags. Funny, in this case.

""Proud Boys" is the single worst name for a supposed group of alpha males I have ever heard."

Isn't their "initiation" merely other PBs light-punching the candidate until he names five breakfast cereals his mommy serves him?

"Stop reminding us of hunter bitem."

What ever happened to those laptops? Should we just put them in the "Kraken" file, where other blowhard lies go to die?

"what liberals do best, splitting once unified people's."

Yeah, they sure split the gay supporters from the gay bashers.

Remind us: which side did you come down on?

"Odd... no mention of liberals in the article."

Has it ever mattered?

"Liberals" are Boaz's monster under the bed. Even in a convention of conservatives, AND AND ALL advances must be the fault of liberals.

Boaz is all for compromise...as long as he's not the one who's being asked to compromise.

" I'm for Sanctuary States on immigration and drugs. It's a waste of any state and their cities time and resources."

I don't recall your support for Sanctuary cities when a Dem was behind it. Not at all. Have you any links to any support, or is this your first mention?

" I asked if the State govt did something specific with those rates..either raised them or lower them or change them in some way that may be credited for this recent economic "recovery". "

They raised taxes, especially at the top end.

" I do. I find it as hypocritical as Democrats that are taking the same position. Still, I can't help but applaud Missouri in this case."

So did you applaud all the Sanctuary cities at the time? Or is this your first mention?

"Funny that Republicans would create a Sanctuary State where the locals don't bother enforcing Fed laws. I wonder whom gave them that idea."

So...do you find the Republicans to be hypocrites? Against Sanctuaries...except when they're for them?

"Who fully funds pensions? Seriously. USPS does and only because a law was passed to do it."

No, USPS is forced by law to OVERFUND its pension, compared to the benchmark used for everyone else.

"Who fully funds pensions?"

Folks with pensions in the Green Zone. The problem with CA is its long-term equation is out of whack.

"Companies closing their pension plans do they need to in order to provide the funds."

Employees of Delta and US Steel would like a word with you. When they're done, the GM retirees have a thing or two to say.

"California is booming despite the high taxes and hefty regulation."

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with that; I've been pointing out higher marginal rates incentivize reinvestment for years, and teaching as much for decades.

Here's the best example I've heard. A professor trying to explain this topic says the following:

You've all come to the classroom today and sat where you want. For the purposes of this lesson, we'll assume where you sat, is your lot in life. Now, I want everyone to take out a piece of paper, write your name on it, and then crush the paper into a ball." He then proceeded to grab the trashcan, and put it atop his desk. "Everyone gets to throw their name toward the trashcan, and if you make it, I'll improve your semester's grade by one notch: C will get a B, B will get an A, etc." Several of the folks in the back row started complaining, that it wasn't fair. "Life's not fair either; besides; you sat where you chose to sit."

So everyone tried, and (no surprise), the folks up front had a rather easy time of it, and the folks in back all missed. Then the professor spoke:

Two things: One, that whole thing about raising your grade based on a piece of paper in a trashcan? I was lying.

"Now to the important point:" And he turned to the people in the front row. "What the hell is the matter with you? You knew it was unfair, particularly to the ones in the back, and NOT ONE OF YOU spoke up on their behalf. Instead, all you could see was how close you were to the goal, and how easy it was for YOU to succeed. THAT'S privilege."

"But unless you're talking about specific situations, just saying "it exists" is a meaningless statement"

More nonsense. It happens A LOT MORE than just "specific situations". It's everything from driving down the street without having to fear being pulled over for the color of my skin, to the inheritance rules, redlining, and how compounding those differences over generations creates wealth inequality. You're pretending it's only overt actions; it's not. It's how the system was designed, and how its run.

"From a strategic pov, this is a massive miscalculation."

Almost as bad as encouraging your followers to catch and spread a deadly disease.

"I love how people on this site think anyone who's smarter than them must be a 'Trumper'."

I love how you actually think you're smarter. Dunning-Kruger really turned out a prime specimen!

" you make it sound like you have "WP" in every situation."

Nonsense. You don't have to have WP in "every" situation to know it exists. That concept is either stupid, racist, or both.

" In which context(s)?"

In the context of LIVING ONE'S LIFE over the decades. Seemed pretty obvious to me. Still does.

Are you suggesting you didn't notice it?

"And likely we wouldn't be seeing this desperate attempt to vindicate himself "

With what? The proof he never seems to produce??? So far he's been all hot air, all promises and no product.

Of course, he can lie all he wants...until he slanders Dominion in the process; at that point, he's shot himself in the foot; no one else to blame.
