I see the obvious problem here: The whiney old man is angry at you for being correct about everything and kicking his cranky old ass and has decided to take it out on me. :)

You don't have the slightest idea what I "live on". I've told you I collect social security, as do most people in their eighties, but to say I "live on it" is a fallacious conclusion on your part.

Yes, I actually do, "C. R. Stucki" from "Podunk, Idaho," but then why on Earth would you presume to "have the slightest idea" what I know?

Re: your "Two-way street". It's not necessary to tell me you don't care what I think.

I didn't tell you anything, you cranky presumptuous old man. In point of fact, the post you are responding to was a comment to Balthasar wherein you made a similar comment toward him; as such, why not butt the eff out?

It's prima fascia obvious based on the quality of your responses.

As I said grandpa, my response was meant for someone else and not remotely for you. If I had been posting a response to you, I would have naturally dumbed it down to your reading comprehension level, and it would have had your name at the top versus the name of someone else who isn't you.

But I well understand that while most of my stuff is over your head, that you're doing the best you can with the limited level of comprehension you possess.

Said the benighted geezer whining about my post to Balthasar that he's confused about being to him. Shove off you old prat! :D

If "Tiffany Trump" never has to work, she obviously falls into the catagory I mentioned, by my phrase "unless you can find somebody else to work for you".

Agreed. Actually, I was responding to your more complete quote which I provided: "unless you can find somebody else to work for you (think welfare for the able-bodied, OR slavery)."

I was using Tiffany as an example to point out that this category covers far more than your qualifying parenthetical would suggest.

Does "the retired person who contributes . ." not eat, not need shelter from the elements, not need medical care, etc?

Does an enslaved person not eat, not need shelter from the elements, not need medical care, etc.?

Ranchers provide all these things for their cattle; and similarly enslavers provide these things for the people they enslave.

He/she consumes, so he/she either produces consumable goods and services, or has found somebody else to do it for him/her.

And in the enslaved case; one can claim that he/she has tragically indeed "found" someone else to "do it for" him/her.

The principle distinguishing between the two is not that only in the latter case is it true that what is produced is to the benefit of somebody else, as you claim. It's not something economic at all.

It's that the enslaved person is compelled against their will to act by deadly force. Wouldn't you agree?

Sure.. Once I see a modicum of respect for President Trump and the Republicans and the Republican Party...

Even if no one follows you with respect to President Trump, at least you would be doing the right thing.

One fights fire with fire... "Doing the right thing" often leaves one burned..

Think about Chris's blog, at least.

This is it, in all it's glory.. Warts and all..

"One man cannot effect change..."
-Mirror Spock

I'll be happy to be respectful of the Left.. Once everyone else here shows some respect for the Right...

Would it be so difficult for you to set a good example here and start showing a modicum of respect for President Obama and the Democrats and the Democratic party?

Even if no one follows you with respect to President Trump, at least you would be doing the right thing.

Think about Chris's blog, at least.

And yet, that is EXACTLY what your messiah, Dumbo and the Dumbocrats gave us...

You and your Republican brethren are about the only ones left, in fact, that believe that you can leave an entire population without healthcare, and the rest of society will be Okay.

And yet, it's worked for over 250 years..

But, of course, you want to indulge in fear mongering.. :eyeroll:

You've got your head in the sand.

And yet, it was your messiah, Odumbo and the Dumbocrats who gave us TrainWreckCare.. :eyeroll:

But hay... If you want to throw 130 million Americans off their healthcare plans that they LIKE and that works for them???

Be my guest..

Just don't plan on winning any elections from the remainder of your life...

No, I'm making a legitimate point. The idea that a patchwork health care system can work is dead in the 21st century.

Anti-vaxxers thought so. How quaint.

You and your Republican brethren are about the only ones left, in fact, that believe that you can leave an entire population without healthcare, and the rest of society will be Okay.

You've got your head in the sand.

President Trump gets all of the blame and none of the credit.. :^/

If the high notes are because of Obama, aren't the low notes ALSO because of Obama??

And you are alone amongst Weigantians to admit it.. :D

Good on you...

Michale [111]: the question is, why do you hate Americans so much? So much that if an epidemic were to hit, under your regime, most would die.

Once again, you go off the wall with a totally non-sequitor response...

Nippin' at the cooking sherry again, I see...

I'm hoping that the faith Biden has put in the American people over the decades will be returned in the primary voting booths.

Would that be those same American people who voted in President Trump?? :D

You don't have the slightest idea what I "live on". I've told you I collect social security, as do most people in their eighties, but to say I "live on it" is a fallacious conclusion on your part.

Re: your "Two-way street". It's not necessary to tell me you don't care what I think. It's prima fascia obvious based on the quality of your responses. But I well understand that while most of my stuff is over your head, that you're doing the best you can with the limited level of comprehension you possess.

You obviously have reading comprehension problems. If "Tiffany Trump" never has to work, she obviously falls into the catagory I mentioned, by my phrase "unless you can find somebody else to work for you". You quoted my very words, and then imply that they didn't register on your brain.

Everybody consumes, so if Tiffany doesn't have to work (produce), she has obviously found somebody else to produce for her.

Does "the retired person who contributes . ." not eat, not need shelter from the elements, not need medical care, etc? He/she consumes, so he/she either produces consumable goods and services, or has found somebody else to do it for him/her. His,her charitable generosity hasn't got a damn thing to do with the principle involved.

It's becoming clear who is actually the whiney one in this exchange, and it ain't I.

You mean he constantly refers to his "LEO bona fides" when he was nothing more than a damn Mud Puppy! Oh, FFS. Then that makes him a fraud of the highest order.

Afraid so... but it does help explain his misinformed interpretations of various laws. I couldn’t figure out how he’d worked for any commissioned department, but finally he said he was an MP and hadn’t worked with civilians. Military folks’ rights are not nearly what the general public enjoys off base!

He’s never been a law enforcement officer....he was military police on whichever base he served at. He speaks of it as if it occurred after he left the military, but it didn’t. Since he wasn’t career military, his time as a “cop” was very limited.

You mean he constantly refers to his "LEO bona fides" when he was nothing more than a damn Mud Puppy! Oh, FFS. Then that makes him a fraud of the highest order.

According to Wikipedia:

Career

In 2011, Trump released a music single called "Like a Bird." She later told The Oprah Winfrey Show that she was evaluating whether to take her music career "to the next level as a professional".

In 2015, Trump worked as an intern at Vogue and modeled for a 2016 Andrew Warren fashion show during New York Fashion Week.

In the Media

Trump is a frequent poster to Instagram, where, as of December 2018, she had 1,000,000 followers.

Her Instagram posts frequently include photographs of her with friends or with other people known mostly for having famous parents or grandparents, including Kyra Kennedy, granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy; Gaïa Jacquet-Matisse, great-great-granddaughter of artist Henri Matisse; Reya Benitez, daughter of John Benitez; Ezra J. William, son of an Indonesian real estate businessman; and EJ Johnson, son of Magic Johnson.

The group, whose posed photos are edited by Andrew Warren, has been named the "rich kids of Instagram" by the New York Post and the "Snap Pack" by The New York Times and New York magazine.

I think she's shooting for what CRS would call "welfare for the able-bodied". :)

Because according to him he has spent his life being a soldier and law enforcement officer... in other words, a person who killed people for a living... a paid People Killer partial to the welfare of fetuses but not actual people.

He’s never been a law enforcement officer....he was military police on whichever base he served at. He speaks of it as if it occurred after he left the military, but it didn’t. Since he wasn’t career military, his time as a “cop” was very limited.

Isn’t she in law school right now? I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump University School of Law. Of the Trump kiddies, she seems the most likely to be a productive member of society.

We can probably expect the dive to come in the last quarter of 2020.

As I am sure you're aware, October is a historically bad month... the markets like to fall in the fall. :)

Yes, we're in the throes of the trubble

Meanwhile, Trump is in Japan gently patting Vladimir Putin on the back. Gag.

Later, Trump wagged his tiny little finger at Putin and made jokes about hacking our democracy. More appeasement of Putin at the expense of the national security interests of the United States.

I was wrong when I said Trump is Putin's Bitch. He is obviously Putin's Whore... a role he seems to enjoy.

I don't think it's that simple, true as all of it is. Trump still has the support of too many people who should know better.

We can probably expect the dive to come in the last quarter of 2020.

Well, Kick, the Dow is still up pretty high for the past many years.

Of course it is, but reporting on the high months while ignoring the low months like December 2018 and the fact that 2018 was the worst year for the market in a decade is cherry picking months in order to push a false narrative. The hypocrite troll who whines incessantly about hypocrisy simply has no moral authority with which to do so.

You know, I never cease to be amazed and so very pleasantly surprised that the market hasn't been a lot worse in the Trump era. I don't really get it but I like it!

It's simple. Trump inherited a great economy. The employment numbers Trump referred to as "fake" are still figured in the exact same way and one of Trump's favorite things to brag about. Meanwhile, the markets had a record dive in 2018 and are recovering nicely in 2019. I promise you another dive like 2018 is coming that'll likely also break all kinds of records. The only question is when. :)

Kick [117]: That wasn't aimed at you at all!

Of course it wasn't. I was teasing you regarding the prior comment at [31] and the one aimed at Charles Brown that followed at [32]. I also could have piled on and gave you shit about your comment at [30] wherein you praised the debate performance of one "Mike Sutton." ;)

Sorry that you thought so.

I did no such thing.

Ultimately it was directed to C.R.S., who apparently believes that contributing to society is somewhat akin to being kidnapped, shackled, and forced to work in bad conditions.

I know, right!? It takes a special kind of stupid to keep telling posters how much he doesn't care what they think while conveniently forgetting that it's a two-way street.

I mean, really!? A guy living off social security while incessantly and constantly whining about nonproductive people! It is to laugh. *laughs* :)

There were abundant sins of slavery, but forcing them to work was a minor one. [...]

Smh [*].

[E]verybody has to work to live, unless you can find a way to make somebody else work for you (think welfare for the able-bodied, OR slavery).

I don't think Tiffany Trump is going to spend a lot of her life doing anything either of us might call 'working'.

The sin of slavery, from the economic standpoint, was that everything the slaves produced was to the benefit of somebody else.

So, your claim is that a retired person who donates all of their time and effort to the homeless is committing a sin, from the economic standpoint, since everything they produce from their efforts is to the benefit of someone else?

If you find that "whiney", or the distinction of principle is beyond you, it's probably time for you and I to disengage.

Yeah, it does sound pretty whiny overall, to be honest. Just because you have to pay taxes that you don't want to pay, it isn't an injustice comparable to being enslaved as people were in the South in this country's history. As you claimed earlier.

Since 99% of the Left is against Biden, how do you expect him to win??

Oh, FFS. The media love a comeback! Duh. :)

Oh, am I making no sense to you?

Some people have no critical thinking skills. Why don't you dumb it down for him.

Let's try this more simply:

Great idea!

Every day, about a million people cross the Southern Border of the United States legally. If, while in this country, one of them gets sick, we cover it. Why? Because we don't want to get sick. It's that simple.

One hundred percent correct. The whole comment. Something that morons don't seem to realize is that the border crossings go both ways. Americans indeed cross into Mexico every single day for a myriad of reasons... vacation, medical care, pharmaceutical products, weed, I could go on.

Skewering Democrats for raising their hands on that question is just stupid.

I know, right!? It's also why we as Americans who care for the general welfare of our citizens go to great lengths to cure Anthrax in other countries and are pro active in concert with charities and world organizations to deliver vaccines worldwide. We help others because it benefits us. :)

Well, Kick, the Dow is still up pretty high for the past many years.

You know, I never cease to be amazed and so very pleasantly surprised that the market hasn't been a lot worse in the Trump era. I don't really get it but I like it!

The pundits on CNN - and, I presume, elsewhere are coming from a place of deep disrespect for Biden who they see as little more than a caricature. They always have and they surely always will.

The media need a horserace, EM. Same old shit, different election.

Of course, that goes for 99% of the media/blogosphere/punditocracy who, collectively have created and sustained an "asinine media storyline on Biden" for years as told to my by a Boston Globe columnist and I couldn't have said it better myself.

Yes, ma'am. Very well said. :)

The Dow is on pace for its best June return since 1938

In December 2018, the Dow and the S&P 500 posted their worst December since 1931, while the Nasdaq had its worst December on record in its entire history.

Why did you not report that single month's outcome?
{rhetorical question}

Also, U.S. stocks posted their worst year in a decade as the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 10% of its value, as did the S&P 500, while the Nasdaq dropped roughly 8%.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/6-factors-that-fueled-the-stock-market-dive-in-2018

Why did you not report that? Moron. :)

Number one, he doesn't fight dirty like Swalwell and Harris and Booker. It's not in his DNA to go after fellow Democrats like those who have gone after him and tried to distort his record with words like " I know you're not a racist, but".

Number two, he's too decent and polite for these debates. Which is why he has always tried to keep to his time actually interrupting himself when he's gone over the time allotted.

I think he's going to have to change tactics for the next debates with 10 people on the stage without changing who he is. And, Biden can be stubborn that way. And, frankly, I don't blame him.

Have fun with the next piece tonight everyone but, count me out for the duration.

To reiterate:

The winners last night were K. Harris and Michael Bennet.

Okay... and I actually knew who you meant when you said it was Harris and "Mike Sutton."

What were you smoking last night? ;)

reports of biden's political death have been greatly exaggerated

I know, right!?

Voters will overwhelmingly be choosing whomever they believe can take on Trump and beat him. Joe simply needs to get busy sharpening his knives. :)

I have read the entire US Constitution and there is not a SINGLE reference to healthcare as an inalienable right..

In fact, the word "inalienable" doesn't appear anywhere in the Constitution regarding any right.

The belief in the "right to healthcare" generally stems from our Founders belief in the "unalienable" right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

The Constitution, however, contains no such right. However, the Supreme Court has held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution does provide constitutional protection for certain rights or "liberty interests" related to privacy.

The right to privacy has been held to include the right to procreate, to use contraception, to have an abortion, and to maintain bodily integrity, but the Supreme Court's holding that the Constitution implicitly confers a fundamental right to privacy, the have not elevated healthcare to the status of a fundamental right in the same manner.

It is indeed a slippery slope when those righties who insist that there is a right to life insist there is no right to healthcare, but the vast majority of righties aren't exactly known for their ability to connect the dots.

FACT: There is no right to life or healthcare enumerated in the Constitution. Full stop.

Sorry that you thought so. Ultimately it was directed to C.R.S., who apparently believes that contributing to society is somewhat akin to being kidnapped, shackled, and forced to work in bad conditions.

Since 99% of the Left is against Biden, how do you expect him to win??

I'm hoping that the faith Biden has put in the American people over the decades will be returned in the primary voting booths.

I think that if either of you knew what you were discussing, you'd be ashamed of yourselves.

Okay, now! Do I need to worry about you Balthy? That's two comments in a row where you're misunderstanding me and Charles Brown, Esq. Take your vitamins, please. ;)

Sorry if you think you perceive whiney. Your opinion on that topic is SO important to me. I will likely feel distraught for days to come over that!

I'm sorry, Kick, but that doesn't make any sense. Though Gabbard is anti-war, she isn't at all pro-Russian. I thought her performance was good, not great.

Would it be a requirement for a candidate to be "pro-Russian" in order to garner the support of the bots in order to push a narrative? I certainly wasn't trying to make sense about why the Russian bots would flood the zone to make Tulsi Gabbard the winner of a poll on right-wing propaganda media like Drudge, but they are.

GRU modus operandi is to divide and conquer and spread misinformation. Why would they choose Tulsi Gabbard as a means to that end? Let's now speculate. Perhaps it's because:

* Gabbard was endorsed by David Duke and the white supremacists and their ilk.

* The far lefties refer to her as being an "Assad shill" and therefore a "Putin puppet."

* She took an unannounced trip to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017 and afterward said she was "skeptical" that Assad would use chemical weapons against his own people and referred to the accusations as just another round of "pointing fingers."

* She took a Trump Tower meeting brokered by Steve Bannon who praised Gabbard for embracing the term "radical Islamic terrorism."

* RT loves her.

* Gabbard has said that she'd drop all charges against Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are a cutout for the Russian hacking of our democracy.

https://www.rt.com/usa/459356-gabbard-assange-snowden-charges/

So, yes, the Russian bots are promoting Tulsi Gabbard. Just FYI. :)

Michale [111]: the question is, why do you hate Americans so much? So much that if an epidemic were to hit, under your regime, most would die.

Sorry, not the same principle at all. Registering your car with the state robs you of nothing (OK, perhaps a small fee to pay for the clerk's time.)

There were abundant sins of slavery, but forcing them to work was a minor one. The free black folks had to work too, everybody has to work to live, unless you can find a way to make somebody elso work for you (think welfare for the able-bodied, OR slavery).

The sin of slavery, from the economic standpoint, was that everything the slaves produced was to the benefit of somebody else. The fruits of their labors accrued 100% to th slave owner.

If you find that "whiney", or the distinction of principle is beyond you, it's probably time for you and I to disengage.

It's ridiculous (and whiny) to take any random example of being compelled to do a thing you simply don't want to do (for example, registering your car with the state), and equate that with the moral wrong of slavery, on the basis that slaves were also compelled to do things they didn't want to do - "totally same principle".

The fact that you can't see that illustrates EXACTLY your problem..

Why do you hate Americans so much???

So, you don't understand the principle, but don't feel bad, damn ffew people do.

Regarding "being dragged off and put in shackles and forced to pay taxes for the rest of your life", Thanks, now that I know taxes are voluntary, I'll quit paying immediately.

PS Please explain that to the IRS, 'cause when they come after me, I'm going to tell them that I have your word on that voluntary thing, just in case your opinion on that subject turns out to be "spurious and insulting".

Since 99% of the Left is against Biden, how do you expect him to win??

Why should today be any different?? :D

Every day, about a million people cross the Southern Border of the United States legally. If, while in this country, one of them gets sick, we cover it. Why? Because we don't want to get sick. It's that simple.

Since you are talking about LEGAL, then it has absolutely NO BEARING on the discussion at hand..

Skewering Democrats for raising their hands on that question is just stupid.

Yea?? The LEGAL people you are talking about PAY for their medical services..

Dumbocrats want to GIVE the medical services away to the ILLEGAL criminals and stick middle class Americans with the bill.

The fact that you can't see that illustrates EXACTLY your problem..

And that, the entire time, Joe Scarborough kept saying, "don't get me wrong, I still wanna see Trump lost this election".

And yet, he is honest and calls the Dim debate exactly what it was. A "disaster"...

You should strive to lose the bonds of your Party slavery and be as honest..

Let's try this more simply:

Every day, about a million people cross the Southern Border of the United States legally. If, while in this country, one of them gets sick, we cover it. Why? Because we don't want to get sick. It's that simple.

Indeed.

Of course, that goes for 99% of the media/blogosphere/punditocracy who, collectively have created and sustained an "asinine media storyline on Biden" for years as told to my by a Boston Globe columnist and I couldn't have said it better myself.

Looks like the Left Wing commentariat have declared Joe Biden's demise...

Yep. Seems to me like the big winner from these first two nights of Democratic presidential debates is … Donald Trump.

Yep...

President Donald Trump is the HUGE winner in the Democrat Party debates..

But I will give Dumbocrats credit.

They are working REALLY hard for the Illegal Immigrant Criminal vote..

And David A. Graham rips off my point..

He must be here in Weigantia.... :D

Y'know, hygenics.

And the Most Non-Sequitor Meaningless Answer Award goes to Balthasar....

Congrats.. The fact that your answer was the most un-intelligible and meaningless really says something..

"Dogs barking can't fly home without umbrella"
-JUMPIN' JACK FLASH

Yer home.. Go drunk...

Yeah, Joe was jerked off about some sort of hand-raising exercise. Apparently, he wasn't aware that EVERY immigrant to this country gets medically evaluated when they enter. That's for our safety.

Moreover, they have to have follow-up checkups to cover the infectious diseases. All of that is done now.

Republicans still haven't gotten the idea that we're very tied to each other medically. Without medical intervention, a bug from San Diego can get all the way to Maine in a hurry.

But they're still in denial. Unlike the 15th century, the cure for the flu isn't to 'move out of London', it's to keep the flu isolated so that it doesn't spread.

Y'know, hygenics.

We're like two ships, passing in the night ...

And, every once in a while, we collide.. :D

You honestly think that Joe Biden could recover???

How??

I don't think the other candidates are going to let Joe Biden move past this.. They will keep hammering it home...

The only way forward I can see for Biden is to move further Left than the other candidates..

What Joe doesn't understand is that, if you're explaining, you're losing...

I am confused about something..

During the 2016 election ya'all swore up and down that, if Donald Trump was elected, the economy would implode and the Market would tank...

And yet, the economy is flourishing and the Market had it's best June in over 80 YEARS!!!!

So, were you full of shit back in 2016????

Obviously....

And you don't. That makes YOU the more dangerous person here.

Wanna bet?

Sure, all of the quatloos in Weigantia.

the FACTS clearly show that your opinion is governed by your Party slavery.

What facts? Besides the ones that Barr is trying desperately to keep from the American people..

"With apologies to our friends and watching, last night was a disaster for the Democratic Party," Scarborough said Friday on "Morning Joe." "My only hope is people were not watching and I will tell you why."

hehehehehe

Even Trump/America hater extraordinaire Scarborough knows that the Dims Debate was a disaster...

Of course you would say that.. You believe the huge joke that President Trump colluded with the Russians. :D

Good that it comes today, in that it reminds us that literally ANYONE on that stage in Miami is better than another 2 years of Trump.

Wanna bet?? :D

The winners last night were K. Harris and Michael Bennet. The losers were the Republicans watching all of the shit the president was doing.

That's your opinion and I respect that..

But, the FACTS clearly show that your opinion is governed by your Party slavery..

Ergo...

Mindreading???

Oh.. I guess it's OK... :^/

Time will tell.. It doesn't look good for Joe..

The only way he can extricate himself from this mess is to move further Left than anyone else..

That would doom him in the General..

Biden has no moves left..

Unless and until people are dragged from their homes, put in shackles and forced to pay taxes for the rest of their lives, then this argument is both spurious and insulting.

We're like two ships, passing in the night ...

You consider it ridiculous 'cause you cant get past the details to see the big picture, but it's the same principle.

Of course it doesn't apply to all taxation, because much of it is spent on things that benefit everybody (nat'l defense comes to mind).

But when the fruits of your labors are confiscated to buy food (think SNAP benefits) for those who are able to work but choose not to, you are playing the same role that the slaves played, having the fruits of your labors declared to not belong to you - totally same principle.

The winners last night were K. Harris and Michael Bennet. The losers were the Republicans watching all of the shit the president was doing.

That was actually the most stupid moment of this long, stupid presidency. Years from now, that clip will be played to show just how blatantly we were being played by these guys.

Good that it comes today, in that it reminds us that literally ANYONE on that stage in Miami is better than another 2 years of Trump.

I'm pretty sure I was commenting on the right of slaveowners to claim the product of the slaves labors as their own.

I'm pretty sure you were doing so in order to equate the plight of a person who has to pay taxes to the plight of an enslaved person in the South. Which is ridiculous.

BBBWWWAZHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You see?? THIS is exactly why it's IMPOSSIBLE to take Democrats and Left Wingers and Trump/America haters seriously...

The spew the most ridiculous bullshit without a single solitary FACT to back it up...

I loved how President Trump faced down Putin and dead-panned, "You will NOT interfere in the 2020 US Presidential Election!"

Putin and President Trump had a good laugh over that. :D

It wasn't even one of your comments this time. Sheesh

You misunderstand... I am hurt because I always thought that you always thought that MY comments were the most ridiculous.. :D

We'd all be interested to hear how Carter thinks the Russians pulled that off? Is he naive/dumb enough to believe that the Sanders people were so mad about their guy being cheated out of the nomination, that they switched their votes to Trump??

Get real, Jimmy!!

I know that some folks here are that crazy, but the general public, not so much.

On CSPAN Jimmy Carter goes there:

If fully investigated, it would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and he was put in office because the Russians interfered ...on his behalf.

I know. But, you'll get over it.

It wasn't even one of your comments this time. Sheesh

Hand President Trump a huge SCOTUS win right before the election..

Gotta wonder if President Trump planned it all??

"Do you think he plans it all out?? Or just makes it up as he goes along..??"
-XO, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

:D

Rut Roh... Democrats better prepare for ANOTHER SCOTUS loss.... :D

I'm hurt.. :D

But when you declare healthcare to be a "human right", I'm assuming that you're assuming that the premium (cost) of that insurance will be borne by somebody OTHER THAN the insured person, which means you are claiming the free right to consume things produced by the toil of other peoples' labors.

If you claim that healthcare is an inalienable human right then the question that naturally follows is how can you charge someone for their inalienable human right??

I think that was the point CRS was making..

If you are claiming it's an inalienable human right, but they still have to pay for it, then your closer to mainstream patriotic Americans' way of thinking..

If it's an inalienable human right, then it follows that it should be free..

If people pay for it, then rich people could naturally afford better care and poor people suffer and then we are away from the inalienable human right concept..

There is NO difference "between healthcare insurance and automobile insurance", provided THE PREMIUMS (COST) ARE BEING PAID BY THE INSURED PERSON! But when you declare healthcare to be a "human right", I'm assuming that you're assuming that the premium (cost) of that insurance will be borne by somebody OTHER THAN the insured person, which means you are claiming the free right to consume things produced by the toil of other peoples' labors.

That is one of the most asinine assertion I've heard in a very long time.

Of course there are differences, assuming you wish to live in a country that can be called healthy where its citizens don't have to worry about getting sick just by waking by somebody who is very sick because they don't have access to healthcare.

Everybody needs healthcare. Everybody doesn't need to drive a care.

If healthcare is universal, then everyone pays into the system based on their ability to pay - assuming you want to live in a healthy country.

Based on your comments here about healthcare, it is clear that there is a lot you have to learn about the issue. If you are just here to cause a disturbance, then that is a different thing altogether. And, in either case, I am done with you - on this or any other issue until you can contribute intelligently.

Pete Buttigieg had the best night after Harris, yet he too broke no new ground. He’s smart, confident, but not in the end much different from all the rest. There is hardly more variety in this 10-candidate field than there was in just the two-candidate Clinton-Sanders race four years ago. The Democrats are stuck in a rut.

Democrats want to re-run the 2016 election..

That's fine because the result will be the same...

That is one of the most asinine assertion I've heard in a very long time.

Of course there are differences, assuming you wish to live in a country that can be called healthy where its citizens don't have to worry about getting sick just by waking by somebody who is very sick because they don't have access to healthcare.

But when you declare healthcare to be a "human right", I'm assuming that you're assuming that the premium (cost) of that insurance will be borne by somebody OTHER THAN the insured person, which means you are claiming the free right to consume things produced by the toil of other peoples' labors.

Uncle Joe doesn't realize how prescient his words are.. :(

All 10 candidates — Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg, Harris, Gillibrand, Bennet, Swalwell, Hickenlooper, Yang, Williamson — raised their hands in approval. That moment was perhaps the Democratic Party's most significant step yet toward embracing a policy of open borders.

Democrats just lost the election..

NO ONE who advocates Open Borders, which is what decriminalization of immigration crimes basically is, will EVER be elected President Of The United States...

This is fact...

It's how he looked and sounded all night long.

Sorry to say it Liz....

Yes

:D

I don't recall commenting on the right of slaveowners to "whip' their slaves. I'm pretty sure I was commenting on the right of slaveowners to claim the product of the slaves labors as their own.

Was that not obvious, or are you just intentionally making a classic 'non-sequiture' response for want of a reasonable response??

WHY should this police chief be fired, Swawell?? Because he is not black??

What the perfect little racist you are..

What can you expect from a libtard who wants to institute an "Assault Rifle Buy Back" program..

Anyone who knows even the least little bit about firearms knows that "assault rifle" is a media creation and has no basis in firearm nomenclature...

Each of those weapons share the exact same specs.. rounds the fire, magazine capacity, rate of fire..

Yet, the lower one is a perfectly acceptable hunting rifle. The upper one 'looks scary' so it must be banned..

The ignorance and stoopidty of the Dumbocrats never ceases to amaze me...

There is NO difference "between healthcare insurance and automobile insurance", provided THE PREMIUMS (COST) ARE BEING PAID BY THE INSURED PERSON!

But when you declare healthcare to be a "human right", I'm assuming that you're assuming that the premium (cost) of that insurance will be borne by somebody OTHER THAN the insured person, which means you are claiming the free right to consume things produced by the toil of other peoples' labors.

Buttigieg has taken some time off the campaign trail to handle a local crisis of the death involving an unarmed black man by a police officer with his body camera off. And the Democratic candidate has had to face many angry constituents and their exchanges have gone viral.

Fire the police chief for what??

Having officers defend themselves against knide-wielding scumbags???

The Indiana mayor was pressed why the six percent black police force doesn't reflect the 26 percent black population in his city.

Although I don't know the exact reason, it's fairly easy to guess.. Either black people don't apply to the police department or the black people who do apply and are not accepted are not qualified...

Are Democrats suggesting that unqualified black people should be accepted to the police academy BECAUSE they are black??

Basically race-based hiring..

How is that not racism??

The beginning and end of this story is it was a good shoot...

Democrats play the race card because they have no other cards to play...

Buttigieg plainly responded by saying he "couldn't get it done" but expressed his determination to address race relations between civilians and police.

Once again, it's EASY to address race relations between civilians and police..

Black people need to stop trying to kill police officers..

“I was six years old when a presidential candidate came to the California democratic convention and said it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. That candidate was then-Sen. Joe Biden. Joe Biden was right when he said it was time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans 32 years ago, he’s still right today,” Swalwell said.

"We are able to have differing opinions on how we best solve problems without having to resort to name calling and insults."

Eh to the first and definitely to the second..
