Still Alive

IMO, if one really wants to get into the weeds on this issue, just read 1 Enoch.

Actually, I've gotten to the point where I see them as the true republicans, while folks like Trump are the "RINO's". It's why I left the R party early in dubya's second term. I finally figured out that we were dealing with two sides of the same Uniparty playing "good cop, bad cop" with us. The narcissistic young adults see the democrats as the "good cop", while the adults see the Republicans as the "good cop". but in reality it is all a sham - until someone like Trump comes along. Which is one of many reasons I like him.

Gotcha. I heard about a year ago that Trump was talking about doing what the Democrats were doing regarding mail in ballots. Basically playing the 21st century voting game, rather than fighting using the last century's style. Of course, the best solution is how they do it in my country (Kentucky). We do "in person, with ID" voting and if you want an absentee ballot you have to ask for one and explain why you need it. I know because I had to do that once. They take voter ID pretty serious here, which may explain why our elected offices are so full of republicans that they have enough votes to override a governor's veto.

What is Pachase.com?

The interview just proved something I've known since I was in grade school: Multiple choice questions are easier.

I was kind of suggesting that a day or two ago. But yeah, reading through these last few pages, all doubt has been removed, at least IMO. But don't get me wrong. I think she should be allowed to post whatever she thinks as long as she avoids the profanity. The cool thing about true freedom of speech is that those that are demonstrably wrong are given "enough rope to hang themselves".

Oh, em, gee! I'm going to have to believe that is satire. Either that or we're seeing an episode of Sky News' "lefties losing it" right here on a Christian site. I'm assuming we are all actually adults here. Or did I miss something? To be blunt is IS a good satire post. Nobody well informed would seriously bring up the utterly destroyed MSM talking points you bring up in your post about Trump. At least, nobody interested enough to actively participate in political discussions with people that actually follow this from BOTH sides. So I stick with this: That was a satire post.

It would have been interesting to check stats before Covid hit. That really messed things up. I honestly wish he had ignored it - like I did. I don't really trust Factcheck, though they are not as biased as some. Here is fun info from the White house a couple of years into his first term: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/291320/trumps-list-289-accomplishments-in-just-20-months-relentless-promise-keeping/

Opinions vary.

I've been cancelled by seven sites in the last four years. Only one before that. And that is since 1997. And for a lot less than saying something like that. We live in an interesting world. It's why I avoid politics here mostly. And for the record, we have our first amendment. She has the right to "ask for" anything she wants. But what she asks for says plenty about her.

To everyone: I just ran down this entire thread. I think we're being played.

She agreed to the rules. To quote Mal Reynolds, this applies to Kam: "Why are you arguing what's already been decided?"

I don't want to be cancelled by the site, but I have to say this: That is a textbook example of "partisan spin". This is obviously not about "improving" the debate. It's about changing it to fit your strengths and/or hide your weaknesses. What makes it obvious is that, among other things, she had already agreed to the rules. It's like coming to agreement after negotiating a price and trying to then change the price at the last minute. That does not show integrity.

Actually, as I watched the last debate I thought to myself, "this is actually a debate". The others were anything but. The point is moot since she's backed off, but her ideas were no improvement. I loved that they cut the mics and didn't allow notes.

I'm definitely gonna agree there is a LOT of cool-aid going around these days. Looks like were returning to sanity, though. Major retail chain joins growing list of US brands to ditch Pride events, DEI schemes
