  1. The wingers commonly accuse anybody that's critical of Israels genocidal policies of being antisemitic.
  2. The vast majority of Democrats don't want that. There's a 0% chance this gets any nationwide traction in the next century. Maybe they can ban it in specific cities but that would be about it. I don't think that has happened anywhere though, has it? I'm talking about possession of regular guns by regular people. Oh, here we go with the 'ol "slipper slope argument." I can see it coming.
  3. Yah; Republicans now want higher wages. OMG, the hypocrisy is unreal.
  4. The dirty south. Wish they weren't so weak and dumb, so that they wouldn't have lost the civil war.
  5. It got a lot worse and lasted longer because of the National Guard and marines. Yes, it simmered down. Just about all civil unrest does, eventually.
  6. Horrible analogy. Comparing somebody coming into your house vs the country that you live in.
  7. They actually are net contributors to the economy, with their willingness to take on low paying jobs that nobody else wants, and also being disproportionately young so that they aren't sucking the govt teet.
  8. It already did, and then he caved on his tariffs. When losing an argument, just change the subject.
  9. Just don't bomb them. I don't care if Iran gets nukes. We should mind our business. Mentioned this several times.
  10. Doesn't surprise me one bit. We keep cutting funding to schools and we should expect this.
  11. The material is still there. Best estimates are that we set them back a couple or few months. That's basically nothing. Pathetic fail.
  12. It's all relative. By giving more pts for takedowns and NF, we've de-emphasized reversals, escapes and penalty points. I think the penalty points is the big one for me. At least one other person here pointed that out. A wrestler can stall more, etc without if having a significant chance of affecting the outcome.
  13. Couldnt stop the bombing but all the bombing did was blow some stuff up that apparently wasn't the stuff that we wanted to below up. TOTAL FAIL!!!!!
  14. Here's a simple solution. Recognize that we can't stop our enemies from getting nukes forever. It's a matter of time until they ALL get nukes. Maybe instead of trying to control and bomb the hell out of anybody that wants to get similar technology to what we've had since the 1940s, we could mind our own business and stop trying to run the entire world. Israel would be at risk but that isn't our problem. They can find another place to have their ethno-theocrcy if needed. I'd be happy to give them northern Florida.
  15. He only telegraphed the bombing for a few weeks, like a total idiot.
  16. Agreed, but I think this has been studied.
  17. It's a video.
  18. Typical QAnon whack job
  19. Yeah, not "formally." I said "not officially" but there's a huge relationship and influence between the two
  20. Not officially but Christianity is a strong component of a lot of their beliefs & principles. For all practical purposes, YES, to a significant extent. Enough that I consider QAnon to be a "Christian fundamentalist organization."
  21. Numerous examples at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism as a starting point for you with references that you can go to if you want a deeper dive. It's virtually impossible to statistically isolate for the fundamentalists in comparison to the general population, most of which claim to be Christian since it gives them various social and economic advantages. It's painfully obvious though when you look at the recent mass murders that Christian fundamentalism is a monster problem in this country and the world. ALL of these people need to be put on a watch list.
  22. See my response. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/02/04/qanon-christian-extremism-nationalism-violence-466034. Once again, the wingers respond to straw men. Gotta learn to read.
  23. Complete bs response. I'm talking about fundamentalists (often evangelicals), not your every day Christian. Almost everybody I this country claims to be a "Christian" but most of them don't even go to church regularly. Here's a great article on it if you are interested. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/02/04/qanon-christian-extremism-nationalism-violence-466034
