Anyone that's not afraid and was a critic of Trump is a fool.
We are at the rubicon, waiting to see if we are going to cross it.

We have been promised that retribution is coming. Over and over we've heard it.
We've heard they are going to immediately start rounding up those they targeted with their campaign of hate towards immigrants.
We've heard his statements about ending the Constitution, of going after the Press that he considers an enemy, of those that were doing their job to hold him accountable under the law for his illegal actions. The number of threats Trump has made is long.

I take Trump and his followers at their word.

Flashback:

In the early 1930s, the Nazis campaigned in national, state, and local elections in Germany. Their major breakthrough came in September 1930, when they won 18 percent of the vote in the national parliamentary elections. They also did well in state and local elections that year. This shocked some Germans, especially those who recognized that the Nazis were an extremist, fringe political movement.

During election campaigns, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis won followers by playing on people's hopes. The Nazis promised to
* fix the economy and put people back to work;
* return Germany to the status of a great European, and even world, power;
* regain territory Germany had lost in World War I;
* and create a strong authoritarian German government.

But the Nazis also played on people's fears and prejudices. They falsely claimed that Jews and Communists were to blame for all of Germany's problems. The Nazis promised to unite Germans along racial and ethnic lines. The Nazis planned to exclude Jews and others from German society.

Adolf Hitler came to power through Germany's legal political process.

And you hit that on #69, too!

Thank you, Jeff.

Three chemicals are used to fluoridate drinking water in the U.S: sodium fluoride (NaF); sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6); and fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6).

Fluorosilicic acid is a byproduct of the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. It is recovered as a vapor, which ensures a high degree of purity. Both sodium fluoride and sodium fluorosilicate are made from fluorosilicic acid recovered in this manner.

Sodium fluorosilicate is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with caustic soda, itself a water treatment chemical. Sodium fluoride is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with sodium chloride, common salt.

This is how the fluoride that is used to bring fluoride levels up to the desired level (less than or equal to 0.7mg/liter) are created. Through chemistry, resulting in soluble fluoride compounds.

Now you can find all kinds of garbage out there about how the fluorides are somehow different based on the source, for instance those people selling their "natural spring water" and others (profit oriented or health nutcases, or our future cabinet member) but there is no difference in the resulting water.

"(There is) no difference between the fluoride present naturally and the fluoride added as part of a community water fluoridation scheme. In laboratory analysis, the fluoride ions would be indistinguishable from one another, regardless of their origins."

And that means nothing.
Do you not understand chemistry?
I kid myself.
What is in the water is identical to that found in naturally occurring fluoridated water.
It doesn't matter the source.
You don't seem to understand the basic chemistry or what's being done. You actually telling me that fluoride derived by one method is different than fluoride derived from a different method, so if we just used "natural" fluoride (WTF that is) then, what?

Oh please. Elucidate me. Post your links again.
Surely it's not too hard for you to mouse click - copy link - paste.
I haven't been on any thread that you posted any actual data with links that backed it up that I could verify as valid.
I love learning new stuff - as long as it's factual and scientifically valid.

I thought it might be, but it was a bit out of context to me.
I accept and respond with the appropriate chuckle.

You told me Harris was the "joy" candidate. You touted polls showing her winning easily. You were an absolute cheerleader. And look at you now. You just got your ass hhwwhipped by a bunch of god damn nerds. Nerds!!!

You are wrong, at best, or a complete liar (again). I never touted any polls showing her winning, let alone winning easily.
What I did say is that I liked her as I heard her give more and more speeches, and that those that called her stupid and low iq were quite clearly lying or stupid. I then grew to support her and thought she'd be excellent as President. I still think she'd be MILES above the POS the American people elected. Trump is, singularly, the lowest point in American electoral history. An indictment of the American people and this nation.

We didn't get our ass whipped by "nerds." Apparently that's another word you don't know the meaning of. And as fas as "ass whipped" half of America disagrees with you, and as I've said for months - the 50/50 polling indicates that, despite winning on all fronts, you won my so very little that you overstate your power. Tread carefully. Hubris precedes a fall.

After acting as Pravda for Biden and the Dems and casting Trump as more evil than Satan

You do go out of your way to show everyone how lost you are. Pravda was propaganda, not truth. Pravda was for the State. Pravda propped up the oligarchy. Pravda worked against the free press, freedom, liberty, truth. All those things that used to be called and honored as "the American Way."

All you can do is lie and call what you don't like exactly what you are. You spend all your time spreading propaganda and lies, occasionally trying to seem reasonable.

Fox "News" is Pravda. Through and through. That should be self-evident even to you.

You ain't from around here, are you, boy?

(see "How to Survive the Broligarchy" thread)

Sign of the times and what's coming.
I'm sure some folks have figured out the historical parallels to another time.

France has water that has varying ranges of natural fluoridation - typically 0.5mg/liter.
Also France allows the production and use of Fluoride in salt. We don't allow that here.
Sweden's water contains anywhere from 0 to 4.1mg/liter. That's outrageously high, btw. Nearly a quarter of the wells used in Sweden have fluoride levels twice (1.5mg/liter, actually) the recommended value of 0.7 here.
Are you going to site Sweden as an example of mental health issues?

Naturally occurring fluoride is a different compound, so I'm confused over this particular artificial isolates origin and historic testing.

No, it's not. They are identical. There is no difference in water with natural occurring fluoride and purposely fluoridated water Do not confuse the source of the fluoridation with the product of the fluoridation. The water's chemical makeup is identical, no matter the source of the fluoridation.

Do you know how we figured out that adding fluoride to our water made people healthier? Helped them keep their teeth? Prevent dental caries? The history? None of this is secret. It's all well known. As is the benefits of fluoridation.

Like anything, though, more (past a certain point) works against you. Like taking too much medicine, eating too much of one thing, or simply drinking too much water. You can die from that.

This is why I specifically stated 0.7mg/liter. Some counties here have higher naturally occurring levels of Fluoride in the water, so they add very little or none, as long as it doesn't go above 0.7mg/liter. In populations where the water is higher than 0.7mg/liter (significantly higher) there is evidence of decreased IQ and other developmental issues. This is not something specific or peculiar to Fluoride. It's the way most things work in this world.

Seriously, there's no reason to prove your ignorance with every post... we get it.

Yeah, that was stunningly stupid. Gotta agree.

but reading some of this stuff is about to give me diarrhea...

Can't see how reading give you diarrhea unless your eyes/brains are in your... Aw geez. Anyway - you sure shht all over this thread.

You poor, poor wittle victim.

They'll blame the democrats and Biden, of course. They'll say they inherited a looming mess. That was rhetorical, wasn't it? And I answered. Duh.

That is some seriously delusional ----.

Won't let what go on?
Freedom?
Equality?
Free speech?
The right to autonomy?

What exactly is it that Trump isn't going to let go on?

It's his band of maga that is banning, cancelling, threatening "retribution" for even minor perceived slights.

The stupid continues.
Fluoridation only takes the fluoride level to 0.7 milligrams per liter.
That level is quite safe.
Those that cite health issues with Fluoride are citing naturally occurring fluoridated water where the levels are well above 0.7 mg/liter.

WInter Haven isn't the first in Florida. The stupid goes deep in this Florida man red state:

"Collier County commissioners unanimously agreed in February to end the addition of fluoride in the county's public drinking water system after nearly three hours of often-impassioned debate at the commission meeting.

The commissioners cited "health freedom" as a reason, pushed by a phalanx of anti-fluoridation activists."

Gotta love "health freedom" as "a reason". As in "freedom from having good health." Yay!

You go Florida Man.

Yeah. If you live in Canada.
