That was my point originally.

Isn't the the argument Bill Johnson has been making?

-Trump admin already promised a 5000 dollar doge check, and a 2000 dollar tariff rebate.

Yeah, I don't take it serious either.

Weird ... ... anytime I do that, you guys usually freak out on me.

-What past president offered money for votes?

As I said, presidents offer financial benefits to voters in exchange for winning elections.

I already had this conversation with an adult.

Get back to your comic books, you little twerp.

If you for your wittle feewings hurt ... ... ... ... then nobody gives a ----.

Wow ... .dead here tonight

He posted an article on illiteracy on a thread about reading scores. Doesn't sound too threatening

Tell us ... ... .What's really bothering you?

It's not possible it's the methodology, correct?

It's the results that pierced your ultra thin skin.

No

LOL....every damn time I say something has no chance of happening.....everyone comes out of the woods to chastise me for being naive and quip with "get the sand out of your ears" "this should concern you"..blah blah blah...

-So why is Trump so damned stupid?

you mean dumb?

I don't know really.....why are you?

no

On topic, I'll say that parents (parent in too many cases) have a hard time getting kids off their phone and in a book if they themselves can't put their phone down.

and it doesn't help that nobody has the nerve to tell them that.

-By the way, it has been said that past testing places Trump's IQ at 84 points.

in your closet......by you?

STFU about his IQ. You just go on believing what you want.

there are no official IQ test records for presidents.

Trump suffers from many character flaws and issues.....but low IQ is not likely a factor.

And by asking if you're serious....I'm not saying you're wrong.

I asking how this plays out. we know the justice department isn't going to barge into the oval office and quote 18 U.S. code 597 to Trump. Those guys work for Trump.

But will Congressional democrats call out this attempt to bribe voters?

-You're not allowed, by law, to pay people for their votes.

He's offering to pay you too. he's willing to pay people who vote against republicans

I know this looks like I'm defending this stupid shenanigan but I assure you I'm not.

But politicians promise to distribute government money in exchange for winning elections all the time. It's the entire premise of campaign financing.

minimum wage
healthcare
taxes
tax rebates
infrastructure
pay for teachers (didn't someone campaign to pay teachers bonuses if elected?)

I'm not saying what Trump proposed is legal.....just how it's going to be spun.

I understand what you're saying but you're not serious with this, are you?

-NO president has EVER offered money for votes.

You're funny

I like you

I have a dozen lefties here want to slap the ---- right out of your mouth for typing that.

-No, it's just f*^%ing stupid and shows nothing more than he has an IQ roughly the same as the loaf I'm pinching.

well said.

I can treat you exactly as I treat Snoofy.

100% ignore. LIke him, you'll follow me from thread to thread to thread.......but no dice, --------.

problem solved.

-But it does make me wonder. What do YOU call your personal obsession with me?

non-existent.

Because this exchange is like 99% of the others......I post a comment not directed to you in any way.

And then you come running up to me begging for my attention.

just like in this thread.

YOUR obsession with me.

-If we did have the best healthcare in the world

we don't and you don't think we do either....so I don't know what the ---- you're talking about.

-Why is it "fake" and why shouldn't we be outraged?

Because you're a shallow person. If it can't be 100% political then you don't give 2 -----.

Now, if that's not applicable to you then it's not applicable to you.

IOW, if your outrage is genuine......then remain confident in that. I don't care either way. I didn't call you out in any way.

My comment is no different than blanket accusations thrown out to groups of people (republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals, men, women, religious, non-religious, etc...)

If it doesn't apply to me then I don't take the bait.

-For years, conservative politicians have argued that American medical innovation, specialized treatments, and advanced technology made the U.S. system the best in the world.

do you agree with that?

I'm guessing you don't....so why are you pointing to it?

-Men will spend copious amounts of money treating sex with women as a pastime. Women risk their lives to keep them entertained.

Has it occurred to you some women enjoy sex as well?

-Anyway. I don't live here like you apparently do.

the last few days..........yes, been here a lot.

and you're obsessed. it's cute.

but annually? I'd bet you post 10 times more than me.

which doesn't matter.....but "visit from time to time" is a lie.

-Doesn't look like access to abortion is helping in England to reduce ectopic pregnancy related deaths.

wow.....dropped a huge bucket of cold water on that fake outrage.
