I am enjoying reading the discussion and perspectives going back and forth. The lines become blurrier and blurrier when we take away the life/death aspect. Lying - does your 89 year old aunt really look good? Obeying traffic laws - never goes 3 over the speed limit even to pass? Following procedures at work - just go in a hallway when the person you are walking with swipes her badge? Utilitarian prevails in nearly all the cases except the really biggies. Hence - 10 commandments being deontological. The rest is up for negotiation. There is also a cultural aspect involved. There is a story - perhaps urban myth - of a German army storeroom clerk who would not hand out winter weather gear to troops nearby because he did not have the proper authorization. The troops froze to death with coats on racks mere meters away. The deontological nature of his culture - follow der rhules! - made him do something unthinkable nearly everywhere else in the world. The quality, morality, rightness, etc of the rules or procedures is never under question so long as it comes from the perceived proper authority.

Who'd a thunk physics matters? Mandate it and it must happen. That's the law!

Strawmen were tanking. That was firmly hypothesized, established, and proven by the Strawmen Declaration Club of this forum. EDIT: HA!! I wrote the above before I read the very next comment. Which was RV declaring . . . "Indefinitely?" Strawan Definitely Strawmen tanking indefinitely.

What is said does not matter. Who says it is all that matters. And, if it is mean or not. Democrats are incapable of being mean so they can actually kill people without it being bad. Republicans are incapable of being nice so anything they do is bad. Does that help you understand? If it weren't for double standards the left and the press and - it is now obvious; the judiciary - would have no standards at all.

What an oppressor she is! Probably fascist.

"Tanking" doesn't necessarily mean 50%. That's a complete strawman. Strawmen are tanking. Due to being applied to almost any argument or recitation or logical flair that is used to make a point counter to those preferred by a couple of our colleagues on this forum. The weight and validity of the claim is losing value with each subsequent over-application of the insult. It is quite an improvement, however, because at least they are not calling their rhetorical and expositional counter-forum-posters racist, sexist, istophobic phobe-ist, denying, bitter, clingy, deplorables as often.

How did she do that? Some sort of hot poker?

Biden is going to be sentient and a vigorous leader of the country. Remember this wild claim by every Democrat primary voter? 100% of them!

Stop applying racist climate denying facts and physics and thermodynamics and math!! None of that matters. The story is that every country is getting warmer than every other country!! Now put on your mask and get a shot and buy an EV Or else!

So did Christ, so did Mandela, so did every single person sent to the Gulag and those executed before getting there. So did Dred Scott. So did Emmet Till’s murderers. Due process may mean it is legally defensible but it does not mean it is moral or ethical or right. So we are talking about the American Jury (aka the electorate) nullifying the “due process” fiascos via the election. That’s wtf is being talked about.

Yeah, we can extrapolate that he meant choir boys were next to be ICE'd from their pews and sent to El Salvador. Natural conclusion from the context of the conversation. Because in a discussion of the handling of illegal aliens and ruthless gang members theree was not an utterance of two letters and a prime number. So, American citizen Choir Boys and Mormon about to go on mission, and Americans of Asian descent with 1550 SAT scores beware. "MS 13" wasn't heard so, naturally, the fact that you have ever done anything against the law nor has anything like this ever happened (giving Roosevelt a pass for imprisoning Americans of Japanese descent in WWII) nor imagined nor stated by any politician is about to happen. He never said MS 13.

Jews. Portions of campus. Criminal Anti-Semites who should be deported if they are not citizens. Next question. That one was too easy.

The election. The court of 77+ million voters who found J6 a non-issue and voted thusly. That was the due-est process going under our constitution.
