  1. I presume the founding fathers considered a parliamentary system with the head of the executive picked by the representatives of the people. I also presume that in their wisdom they felt the executive should be independent from the legislative branch for the reasons that include the ones you have mentioned. Sounds like ag with kids would be more comfortable moving to Canada or the UK. or maybe he is happy with minority rule and understands gerrymandering is the best way to get it.
  2. I gave up on Ana and put him on ignore a few weeks ago. The rest of y’all should as well. Sad really
  3. Pure coincidence
  4. The whole problem with your premise is, we do not vote for parties in this country. We vote for candidates. When you are hopelessly gerrymandered, you get de facto voting for parties.
  5. I’m really starting to think he thinks incredulity means gullible-ness
  6. Maybe we can compromise? 3/5 sounds about right
  7. + rep for correct usage of begging the question
  8. Alex Jones is going to be in this administration
  9. You know, Paul was being sarcastic when he said to suffer fools gladly
  10. Interestingly, he did not deny being a fraud, husckster, or idiot
  11. You don’t know all the guys we had that was gangsta. VY was not joking around.
  12. If you had friends in the 80s who got mumps and or measles, it was a localized outbreak. Vaccinations have been mandatory since the 70s at least, and parents were much less likely to be loonies who were afraid of their kids getting vaccinated. Those parents grew up in the era of polio and understood what the risks of not vaccinating were. Once you got past elementary school, I’m not sure how strict junior high and high schools were about getting proof of vaccinations, but public universities in Texas were, which is why I had to go get another round
  13. As others have mentioned it’s a combo shot. If you went to public schools in Texas you had to have it. I’ve had like 3 extra boosters from not keeping track of my records. One at UT, one as a resident, and one in practice (hospitals are always asking for your immunization records) also don’t forget You may need one of these because pertussis protection only lasts about 10 years
  14. How did you get into UT without MMR? I couldn’t find my records from elementary school and they made me go get one before enrolling freshman year
  15. So list 5 conservative principles you hold and then specific example from the past month of how the current administration is upholding those principles. bonus points if you can list an example pertaining to Musk
  16. If you accept the premise at hand (not mine but what I was responding to) which I interpret as capitulation rather than fighting a war saves lives, then yes. Close to 90 million died in WW2 if you include civilian deaths. I think it’s pretty clear only a fraction would have died had the US stayed out of it, especially had we not had an antagonistic foreign policy wrt imperial Japan in the lead up. Now, whether the conquering regimes would have ultimately slaughtered more of the conquered than the total dead from WW2 is not really knowable, similar to how the outcome of Ukrainian capitulation is not knowable, but I think we can all guess in both cases what it would look like. If not genocide, then subjugation.
  17. Less loss of life with everyone speaking German
  18. There would have been a lot less loss of life had we stayed out of WW2. Do you think that makes a compelling argument that we should have?
  19. I actually think it comes down to this and only this. They literally can’t see past their own noses
  20. Looks like Trump told one Polack joke too many
