  1. Probably a good idea. I'm failing particularly hard at internet rule whatever: don't engage the troll.
  2. Through your first two sentences you are placing the Bork nomination and the Garland nomination in the same bucket of shit without providing any information regarding the scope of the bucket of shit or why each nomination process deserves to be in the bucket of shit. A person who understands what happened in both of those processes can reasonably respond by saying that the Bork process doesn't deserve to be placed in the bucket of shit whereas the Garland process does. That's what jimmy did, but you claim he made a strawman argument. You're now saying that your point was "politicization of the confirmation process is a multi-decade trend." That's a conclusion you're making without providing any reasoning other than, "well some people say that's a point that decline." When your writing is so unclear that you can't even articulate a reason that you came to a conclusion, you leave yourself open to any number of perfectly reasonable counter arguments to which you then respond "but I didn't say that."
  3. Or just stop believing in fairy tales.
  4. Preemptive attack by the aliens?
  5. I'd actually prefer Warren stay in what hopefully becomes a Democratic-majority Senate and help to push anti-corruption legislation then run again in 4 years after Biden chooses to retire after one term (though age might then be an issue). I'm not really sure who I think would be best as his VP. Harris sticks out the most to me, but it worries me that she didn't pick up much support in the primaries.
  6. White, college-educated man here with an Asian, college-educated wife (we both also have professional degrees). We both voted for Warren and are pivoting to Biden. Neither of us are happy about a bunch of old white guys duking it out on stage, but we're going to suck it up and vote. We're hopeful that Biden can provide a return to normalcy, re-establish sane U.S foreign policy, and rebuild the regulatory agencies that Trump has gutted. That's not near the progressive agenda that we would like, but it's at least realistic. Whereas we supported the progressive Warren because we mostly agreed with her policies and, importantly, she provided plans for implementing those policies, we don't feel like we can switch to the progressive Bernie because as far as we can tell his plan for implementation of his policies is to yell a lot and try to invoke a revolution.
  7. I always like it when anny throws out accusations that a poster is using logical fallacies without actually understanding the meaning of the supposed fallacy. It's particularly ironic given his appeal to authority when referencing brisket in his last response to me.
  8. Of course your post was unclear. It could have been interpreted as anything from all confirmations are political because they involve political parties to Bork and Garland were perfectly equivalent. As I said, you're either a terrible writer who doesn't understand how poorly he writes or you're purposefully being unclear because you're a bothsiding coward who doesn't have the balls to stand by his position. Given your shit trolling history, I will reasonably conclude that it was the latter.
  9. You're treating Bork's nomination as similar to Garland and Kavanaugh without actually providing detail regarding the similarities and differences or providing any context whatsoever. That way, you can both side the issue by making them seem similar and then when someone like jimmyjazz reasonably concludes that you intended to argue that the situations are the same you can respond with "but I didn't say that." It's a cowardly. If you have an argument to make, then make it with detail and clarity. Don't use ambiguity and a lack of clarity to leave yourself an out when someone makes a reasonable conclusion regarding your argument. That's a pussy's approach.
  10. You don't write as clearly as you think you do. Or perhaps you intentionally include ambiguities in your statements so that when you get called out for bothsiding an issue you can respond by cowardly trying to wiggle your way out of the obvious implications of your statement.
  11. So what was the point of your previous post?
  12. Chelsea keeps getting the great draws.
  13. lol. I thought keepers couldn't jump off their line before the kick. Norwich keeper was practically standing in front of the ball by the time the shot was taken on those last two.
  14. Trey Gowdy looks like a chain smoker filling up a gas tank? I disagree. He looks like a penis grew hair on its tip and then got a bad hair cut.
  15. On a positive note, my wife and I just got back from a two week trip to Taiwan and it was great. We flew premium economy and the cabin was practically empty both ways. We had an entire row to ourselves and the rows in front and behind us were completely empty. The tourist attractions all had short lines and we got great deals on hotels. The confusion by a lot of folks putting Taiwan in the same bucket as other Asian countries combined with the complete lack of Chinese tourists meant it was a great time to go.
  16. Again with the stupid fucking argument. On the one hand you have the right calling any policy that involves regulation socialism without any actual knowledge of the term. On the other hand you have the left calling people racist and sexist when they only elect white men to office, call women cunts and bitches, march with the Confederate flag, chant the Jews will not replace us, and tell American women who are brown to go back where they came from. It's totally the same thing, y'all! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  17. As others in this thread have point out, this is a stupid fucking argument. Don't make stupid fucking arguments. And I didn't just imply that the people in this thread are racist, I also implied that they're sexist. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  18. lol, no.
  19. Correct. They just hate that she's a brown woman who's willing to speak her mind.
  20. Just voted for her.
  21. I suggest you go fuck yourself.
  22. Uh . . . so Chelsea's goal is called back by VAR because Fred pushed Azpi into a defender and then Maguire scores when he should have been red carded in the first half. It's like the EPL refs and VAR are total shit.
  23. I guess barely playing for two years caused him to degrade from a somewhat decent second striker to absolute crap. He's been awful today.
  24. Somehow Maguire escapes a red but Willian gets a yellow for taking a kick to the shin. Great job, EPL refs.
  25. Yikes. Our lineup today . . . .
