-When will Repubs drop the facade of fiscal conservatism?

when it starts to cost them elections.

Is it being argued that intellectuals and our founders didn't rationalize slavery by calling it a necessary evil?

I have no trouble believing that's how people rationalized it and excused their inaction to stop it.

-They don't speak for the majority; they just give the opposition something to glom on to to broadbrush the other side with.

Exactly. But there is still the fun of accusing everyone on the other side of being a racist, a nazi, or a pedophile or in this case....a jubilant celebrant and supporter of political violence.

It's only the 7,000th time I've seen it done here over the past 20 years.

"Twenty-five percent of the Democratic Party believes that political violence is appropriate,"

This is why I either laugh at or dismiss polls such as this. There is way more to the story.

But for most folks, if it tells you what you want to hear, then go with it. If it's absolutely something you're aghast at...then pretend you didn't see it and/or obfuscate.

I think it might be correct....but it's the accusation that matters to the sychophants....not the accuracy.

-Both of which came from a minority of those deemed "left."

that's all you need in order to have fun with this. A vocal minority speaks for the majority. I've seen that asserted here many many times.

-I asked KWRX to provide an example. So he provided an opinion poll.

Opinion polls are used as evidence all the time here.

It's nothing to worry about.

-That would be the most satisfying consequence for the entire Trump family.

That would be icing on the cake. But the cake is resigning or dropping dead. We'll take it.

Since at least the OKC bombing, the right has held the title of the more politically violent.

But the accusation hasn't mattered much. The GOP still wins elections and controls government everywhere.

So....keep that in mind when being on the other side of the finger.....it doesn't matter much on election day.

-I'm not going to care about the first 10. In the now, it's the left, and we need realize and address it.

Address it how?

The left wants 1 thing.....the death and/or removal from office of Trump.

Other than that, what would be given in exchange for less political violence?

LOL

-Whether you commit it or support, elevate and worship those committing it, you accept it and approve of it, --------.

why didn't you just save me the time of reading your nonsense and just call me a -------- and be done with it?

It's not like you have anything else to offer.

-If the latest attempts on Trump's life don't give you pause, nothing will.

not sure what my "pause" matters to anyone. There are so many unanswered questions regarding these attempts on his life that I don't know what to think.

I could join the club of those who need to believe it's all staged. No thanks.

I could join the club of those who see it as out of control political violence that supported and carried out by the Democratic Party. No thanks.

I didn't read anywhere that democrats are committing more political violence.

This is about democrats accepting political violence. Approving it.

Not committing it.

Now that we've dispensed with the lack of reading comprehension issues.....let's move onto what was actually asserted.

Are democrats more accepting of political violence?

Here is my 2 cents.....I don't give a ---- what they accept. They aren't the ones committing it and it's nothing but an accusation anyway.

Everything else is crap

Exactly. One would think after reading the attached decision from the judge that this place is pretty good. Healthcare, safety, a future for our residents, including those from Yemen.

We decided it was wrong to deport people back to a war zone. My question, is why deport them at all? They were allowed to be here. They were complying with our laws and the conditions to be here even if it's on a TPS status.

nobody believes any of you are even remotely objective so stop trying to portray yourself as such.

You're hypocrites. all the time.

You might be smart, you might be right, but you're not objective and you're a hypocrite.

-And at other times not getting upset is frankly abnormal.

walked right into that one. You're the absurd moron who assigns outrage to people and they should comply with it.

You're failing to understand nobody is asking you to get upset about anything.

And it's absurd to even suggest it.

"I'm supposed to get upset about some..."

It's absurd to be told what to be upset about, isn't it?

I was going to type "you can always pick out the public school idiots".

but that's just mean. It's not like the public school kids had a choice.

-They're all fake.

are the dead people fake or are they really dead?

what are you talking about? I referenced words from Clownshack. They weren't from you nor directed towards you.

"The Bible doesn't have Jesus on record for anything.
It was written after he died by people who wanted to control others."

I miss Zat. After his global warming science street cred....his theological/atheist street cred was next.

Smart dude...

Thereby removing yourself from being part of the solution.
You're angry because the cart can't be in front of the horse.

We can agree on that 100%

-Questioning why he would be commemorated AT ALL doesn't remotely suggest hurt feelings you childish buffoon.

It's does when you do it.

You and ----.

I wasn't a fan of Kirk either. But you're just special.

You realize you make it obvious you're in a constant state of being unhinged, right.

Comparing him to Netanyahu and then defending the comparison.

Unhinged. Desperate for attention.

"See my pain!!!!!!!!"

-Is finding a gross person gross always "hurt feelings"?

Is naming a street that big of a deal?

It is to ----.

A street. Not a highway, or a school, or an airport. A street. They name streets after high school teachers.

Yes, it's obviously about hurt feelings.

Yours as well, apparently.

"good-for-nothing hatemonger"

He sure as hell hurt you're little feelings.

You're that desperate to make a point that you'll compare Charlie Kirk to Netanyahu?

You're that desperate?

-Did I read Corky is a moderator?

Assistant to the moderator.

-But enrollment could decline by between 16,000 and 30,000 people in 2028 due to the work requirement

I seriously hope those numbers are a great embellishment.

But in the event they aren't, it's a sad sad sad example of what we expect from folks on medicaid.

as many as 40% of them cannot manage the requirement or even to understand the requirement.

How many of them are physically capable of meeting the work requirement (including the volunteer options) but simply won't and would rather go with out coverage?

seriously? how many?
