Hoax. You don’t like being there. they’re dying for calls so maybe I’ll have some luck. I had forgotten about his cloak nonsense, and your reminder of that episode frankly was hilarious. Brought a little levity to a fairly sad time. And that’s why you’re on my fake news list. I don’t see any asparagus in that photo.

I guess you would consign our country to a static legal fate. And re the courtroom issue, this is just a hunch but i suspect the argument has been made in, I dunno, nearly every case involving the interpretation of a constitutional provision. Ever. hate to say it, but you just bought yourself more time on my fake news list. finally, your abortion point turns in significant part on whether a fetus is a person. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But the law mostly doesn’t see it that way.

Depends whether you’re actually a chef. if you are, asparagus, beans, eggplant. Veggie type stuff. Trying to get away from processed foods that have become habit during the pandemic. and no fake recipes! (I kid ; couldn’t resist). that’s sort of one of the interesting points about the 2a. Obviously it covers muskets and devices that existed at the time the constitution was drafted. But for the 2a to embrace a gun created or invented thereafter, say a 9mm, for instance, one has to consider the constitution a living document. That’s completely fair and reasonable, and I am in that camp. the catch is that a lot of 2a people also are right to life people. Nothing wrong with either position. But it’s impossible to square “living document” on the 2a side of things with “no penumbra of rights” on the abortion issue. One of the beautiful paradoxes of American society, I guess.

Sounds like you're advocating a vegetable draft. I'm in. And on the weapons, the key element to your argument is "heavy." I don't see the expired assault weapons ban as "heavy." And I believe that worrying about a bunch of dead kids in an elementary school in Sandy Hook, and a bunch of dead concertgoers in Las Vegas, is a highly sensible thing to do. So your premise that I and others are overreacting to a relatively small problem is colored by your view of what constitutes an overreaction. There's another flaw. Nobody, and I mean nobody, here or in the relevant political arena, has advocated "an all-out repeal of the second amendment." Respectfully (and again, I dislike the term), that is gaslighting. In point of fact, nobody is advocating taking away guns that could be used to thwart a home invasion. Instead, the advocacy involves the removal from the marketplace of guns that could be used to most easily facilitate mass slaughter (back read re: the definition of mass shooting) that previously were stricken from the marketplace through the now-expired federal assault weapons ban.

So these questions that you're talking about . . . which ones are you referring to, and why were they asked? On balance, though, you're right. I should have done some homework before recklessly entering a fray dominated by a couple of conspiracy theorists and close-minded right wingers. Looks like you're as much of a hoaxer as that Deranged Rhino guy. Unfortunately it looks like I might have to put you in the fake news category, too. Sad! So you are a chef? If so, cool. I need some new recipes. If not, I suggest changing your "name" because you might reasonably be accused of spreading fake news.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

If he said it I believe it. Trump always tells the truth. This wall is the best thing ever. Just outstanding. Those dudes on Narcos Mexico will never figure out how to get drugs and people over and around the wall. Not even with the explosions in drone technology. Keep America Great! -
Breaking news: Rus took a break from committing voter fraud to put this together and Carl showed up with his bullhorn and hopefully one of mad as hell wiffle bats to stage this doozy of a protest. there’s probably at least 250,000 drivers in the Buffalo metro area and these guys got a whopping 150 of them to show for this. Bang up job again, boys. https://buffalonews.com/2020/04/20/protest-shows-frustrations-are-mounting-but-expert-says-pandemic-is-far-from-over/

Article: McDermott Concerned about PSE Dysfunction
SectionC3 replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Lots of opinion shows on those nets, right? Could read NYT or WaPo or even LA Times. But they go there because they get the talk they want to here. Not my bag, frankly, any of that stuff. I'll stick to NYT and occasionally WaPo. -

Well said. One of the smartest thing a leader can do is hire people smarter and more talented than him/her. -

Well said. Today's society gravitates to sources that reinforce what the consumer wants to hear (in politics or civics, Fox or OAN on the right, MSNBC on the left). The trope that all reporters are biased simply is a way of dismissing a message that the consumer does not want to acknowledge. It's kind of sad, actually, the degree of mistrust that has infected so many parts of our society. -
Attorney and writer. The law stuff pays better than the other endeavors. Quite honestly I'm here because I miss the give and take of the profession and I'm trying to cut my teeth arguing with a different group of people with different insights and compasses than I would normally spar with. I guess that's why I came here in the first place yesterday. Today it's more amusement than anything else. So yeah, you're kind of guinea pigs. But it's harder to argue with people who are unpredictable, and that's what's happened here. So I'm learning a lot and it's been an instructive couple of days. Maybe I'll be better for the investment of time. At least that was the idea. Gotta make the best of a lousy situation and try to learn something. More fakey newsy here. It should be easy to prove that I'm wrong. But apparently you'd rather try to perpetrate a hoax here.
