    No. No you're not. For fuck's sake Cats, conservatives didn't kill the soldier in your example; I shouldn't have to tell you that it's an outrageous false equivalence. The guy who voted for Trump, who is in charge of the military, who has commanders sending soldiers into danger doesn't share the same liability as someone actually leaving their house and using their own two hands to set a car on fire.

    The dead soldier was not my point. My point is that what Trump said to the widow over the guy's coffin right there at graveside, was staggeringly destructive, to say the very least.

    Did you think I was focused on the soldier? Really?

    Now that we've exchanged insults, let's call it even and rather than continuing to behave like assholes, just agree to disagree.

    "knew what he signed up for … but when it happens, it hurts anyway". As reported by the New York Post, that's what Trump allegedly said.

    How you can equate that with beating Jews that happen to support Trump?

    A subversion of American democracy and a travesty of justice.

    Since it involved people connected with Trump, the media did not care.

    They have a CMV vaccine in Phase 2. I’d love to have that. My donor was CMV+ and I’m CMV- which leaves me at risk (and on Valcyte) the rest of my life. A vaccine would solve that.

    Living each day like it's your last is probably not a great long term plan.

    I’d love to hear what your last day looks like.

    I'd give gratitude to the people I think deserve it. Verbal gratitude.

    Yeah that wouldn’t age well. I totally see your point.

    I remember hearing this recording in the early - mid 1970s. I was listening with my friend, and we both looked at each other and said "What the actual FUCK" is that?

    We are on the verge of civil war. It's not a war between democrats and republicans. It's a war between good and evil. I'm afraid that evil will win it.

    I see the oddity. Yet let’s imagine the conditional probability where the first two chords intersect.

    When you place the fifth point you have this:

    B79BEC87-B4A3-4064-82C5-1A30CEA205C6.jpeg

    It’s clear that point 6 has an equal chance of being placed in sections a, b, c, d, or e. Only e gives you three intersections. So p = 1/3 * 1/5.

    Around here, plumbers have to pay taxes to cover the roughly $50k it takes to put area students through high school. At those high schools, they teach journalism, art, music, theater, and other communist indoctrination seminars. Hell, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts is a public school.

    Where's the outrage? #defundpublicschools!

    If it takes $50k to put a kid through high school, you may need to defund.

    It does up here.

    Why so much?

    I don't know if it's so much. It comes to about 40 bucks a day. I'm not sure what's feasible.

    I damn well know (as you probably do) it's not going to the teachers' budgets, though.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in What we must believe.:

    In addition, the reason we have elections is that they're pretty much the only way to find out what the silent majority actually want, as opposed to what we'd like them to think.

    And now, we're being told to disregard this, as it doesn't make sense with what the voices in our head are telling us.

    Almost 50 million voters think this election was rigged. That's not a silent majority, but it's a damn good percentage...
