Every logical fallacy that can be used in defense of that EO will be used, and every argument that will be used in defense of that EO will be logically fallacious.

How you think that came off: How that actually came off:
-
Too lofty of a concept for you to know even the first thing about it. If brains were fuel, youâd need to apply for a loan to power a fleaâs motorcycle around a drop of rain.

Can't calculate that a center would lose his head on two consecutive plays, especially since it really hadn't been a problem until that exact play.
-
Sudden implosion by the OL on those last three plays. Just fucking awful
-
This is the correct answer.
-
By not playing those 14 games against either the Rams or the Lions

Because that would make Supply Side Jesus feel sad.

You misspelled âPreamble.â

DISD has a very limited, qualified conception of open enrollment that makes it nearly impossible to forge a football factory without engaging in a lot of under-the-table shit. Why else do you think it took 70 years for one of their teams to claim a state title? Itâs not like theyâre what WFISD used to be.
-
That team is a football factory that has the benefit of being a suburb of Denver, who has open enrollment. Imagine DISD having open enrollment and every badass football player in the city going to SOC

With a back-up kicker. Fantastic game

Bill Maher has become the whiny little bitch he complains about

Hell his leading spokesman in the media was literally saying that his network will consider anyone who protests the war âan enemy of the state.â Thatâs about as faschy as it gets -

Wow, didnât even see that Bush comment earlier. Yes, Bush was a war criminal who courted a financial catastrophe with his slavish devotion to Reaganomics. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want to return to that shit. -

It sounds like a nice idea for there to be a center. In the real world, it's just a ridiculous compromise between ideological positions. I believe Phil Ochs wrote a song about it. -

They already tried that and lost because of it. I mean I get that you didnât read but like 5 words of what I said earlier, but a considerable part of their pitch in â24 was aimed at republicans abandoning Trump and switching over to them. They failed because they didnât harvest nearly as many voters on that message that they needed, and they alienated the typical 1/3rd of the adult population that is registered to vote and chooses not to. They alienated them by flat out ignoring them and not addressing those core issues I previously mentioned. -

And itâs hard to counter that perception when the following sentence is 100% accurate: Any typical, establishment Democratic presidential candidate would rather lose to Trump in a general election than get primaried by a Bernie/AOC type. -

Couldnât have said it better. A leftist is someone who favors the dismantlement (or at a bare-assed minimum, the severe overhaul) of capitalism. Kamala Harris and the mainstream of the Democratic Party are precisely neither of those things. Yes, Fox News refers to the Democrats as âthe left.â They refer to anyone to the left of Attila the Hun as âthe left.â Like I say, that lot does not understand the political compass, much less how and where to plot anyone on it. Again, couldnât have said it better. -

That certainly was a concern but not nearly as widespread. The issue this go-around, to repeat, was incumbency. How else would you explain the Tories getting fucking trounced by Labour? How else would you explain Iceland? How else would you explain Modiâs party underperforming against that big tent INDIA coalition? The New Popular Front in France? There are a lot of other examples of this, and while it certainly is not to suggest that it was uniformly to the left, it certainly suffices to reject any notions of uniformity in either direction. So yes, there have been rightward lurchesâŠin some places. Others? Not so much. And thatâs the point. The most common of threads this year was incumbency regardless of ideology. well they resorted to the culture war crap when the Soviet Union was still alive, but they kinda had to in order to maintain their positions of power. Their economic policies do not enjoy a strong following, so they have to throw in that red meat to keep people voting against their interests. And thatâs why neither party really talks about that because thereâs no way to sell it. Itâs funny that weâre talking about this on a Bill Maher thread because he of all people once explained the difference in domestic/economic policies between the two parties in this way: Republicans: âweâre pissing on you.â Democrats: âthe Republicans are gonna piss on you, hereâs an umbrella.â -

It has nothing to do with left/right. The backlash was against incumbents regardless of real/imagined political ideology. Youâre just buying into a superficial mainstream media bullshit story, a la Bari Weiss. This kind of bullshit is peddled because the far right is desperate and if they can find anything they can cling to, they will run with it forever. You know better than that. Buttigieg remarked about this kind of phenomenon in the 2020 primary debates when one of the candidates raised concerns that the Râs will call this or that policy âsocialist,â and then Pete responded âtheyâre gonna call us socialists no matter what we say or do.â Thatâs just who Republicans are in their own mind: 24-hour victims. Yeah, theyâre victims alright. Theyâre victims of not having the slightest fucking clue how, among a plethora of things, to describe a political spectrum, let alone how to plot anyone on it. Theyâve certainly failed to address many issues. This just isnât one of them. Itâs an issue that comes from the place where this kid is sitting: Look at turnouts and youâll notice that roughly 2/3rds of registered voters actually do vote. But look at public attitudes on policies and you will notice that the population is well to the left of the two political parties. The problem for the Democratic Party is that theyâre too big of a tent, and one of the groups theyâve allowed in is huge money interests. That dominates their policy pursuits more than anything else, and their interests naturally lean to the right. Thatâs also what turns off a huge chunk of the segment of the population thatâs registered to vote but chooses not to do so. It has nothing to do with âwokenessâ and itâs easy to see that: this âwokeâ stuff wasnât even a thing 10-20 years ago and the Democrats still had the same problem of producing inadequate turnout. Theyâve been constantly battling with that since the days of Reagan, but that has mostly to do with the final screws they put to the working class under Carter. No, itâs not political correctness/âwokenessâ that holds back the democrats. What holds them back is either failing to address or taking positions well to the right of the population when it comes to: -The environment -Nuclear arms control -The proliferation of the military budget -Healthcare (Obamacare was the Republicansâ answer to Hillary Clintonâs ideas in the early 1990âs) -Income inequality -Taxation -Education -Labor rights -The Drug War and numerous others. They are too similar to the Republicans on those issues, and thatâs why a lot of would-be voters do not like them. You know who agrees with that? Bill fucking Maher. He said many years ago on one of his New Rules segments âover the last 30-odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the Republicans have moved into a mental hospitalâ in a segment where he lambasted the Dâs for not including a public option in the ACA, among many other policies he was bitching about. If I had to choose one mistake they made that proved fatal for them, itâs that they tried far too hard to convince the third of registered voters, who tend to vote republican, to abandon their party and vote against Trump rather than convince the other third of the country why they should give a shit and to vote for them. In other words, they focused on the wrong third. Impossible for him to be right when he merely took the bait of the bullshit cheese in the mouse trap the mainstream media has fooled people into believing. Maher was just brain-broken by the pandemic and is still butthurt about that...and he was even a mediocre talent before that, at best. Youâre confusing ârightâ with âsays what I want to hear because it makes me feel good.â To the extent youâre referring to Kamala Harris, no you didnât. Kamala is a center-right establishment Democrat, not a âleftist.â What sane, intelligent reason was there to vote for Trump? The mere fact that he got over 3 million votes, let alone over 30 million, is absolutely ridiculous. Thereâs no reasonable explanation for it, and itâs manufactured outrage when people force their blood pressure upwards when they hear people like David Pakman explain that nearly a full quarter of the adult population in this country is functionally illiterate. When weâve gotten to the point where thereâs more outrage against people pointing out that a quarter of the population suffers from functional illiteracy than there is against the mere fact of said illiteracy, we are a fucking backwards lot. No, what will cost Dâs elections is refusing to address the policies I mentioned (and many I did not), which will continue to piss off the other 1/3rd that is registered to vote but doesnât. Seriously, if you had told me back in May âslugga; Iâve been to the future and Iâll tell you that Trump is going to have 76 million votes.,â Iâd have said âthen heâs gonna lose againâŠunless for some reason the Dâs donât turn people out.â When you say âtheyâll continue to lose,â you make it sound as if the democrats are on some sort of skid. Them losing this year was a shock, but it wasnât so shocking when you realize that, again, incumbent parties all over the world have been getting beat like this as a backlash regarding things related to the pandemic. The problem here is that you conflate the Democratic Party with âthe left.â If the actual political left in this country had any adequate representation in the federal government, the Republicans would scarcely win any elections at all, and they certainly wouldnât have a prayer at the White House. The only reason they would have a prayer? A huge overhaul in the party that made them revert back to who they were in the Eisenhower years. The grand fact of presidential elections in general, specifically the last 12, millions of people clearly and repeatedly vote against their own interests. If youâre unwilling to admit that they did that, youâre either a liar or beyond reason. This is abject speculation. Thereâs already a precedent for exactly that. Google Georgiaâs HB 87 from back in 2011. It was a complete disaster. In the first year alone, they lost something like $150 million worth of produce because it rotted in the fields. They experienced a 50% labor shortage in the industry. That bill was a catastrophic failure and it was a bill that required employers of more than 10 people to verify their employeesâ status. Forced mass deportations? That just expedites the issues. I know people like you hate it when people like me point out the fact that undocumented immigrants mostly work jobs that the average American worker wouldnât take, but itâs a fact: they do. And again, wanna know who agrees with that take? Bill Maher. âThisâ being mass deportations? Yes, it absolutely is, and itâs only one of them. Itâll only be outdone by the effects of his nonsensical tariff policy. Based on what? A full fiscal quarter prior to the pandemic (as early as August of 2019), we were seeing multiple indications that we were heading into a recession precisely because of his tariffs, which were relatively minor compared to what heâs been talking about this go-around. Did he do anything to correct that? No and itâs for the same reason he would not do what youâre saying here: to do such a thing would be an admission that he was wrong, and he is absolutely incapable of ever admitting that even about the most trivial thing. Youâre attributing to him qualities that he does not have. Youâre describing a fictitious Donald Trump that has never existed at any point in historyâŠand itâs for the same reason you made that speculative prediction: youâre basing virtually every single statement you made in that series of bewildering inanities on what you want to believe and what you want to be true. Youâve not given a single reason for anyone to believe that. In the two years that Trump and the Republicans controlled the White House and the Congress, they did not pass a single bill relevant to that topic. They donât care about it. Itâs a red meat topic that they yell and scream about during the election season; nothing more. You say that the Republicans are better about this issue than the Democrats and, once again, there is no evidence to support such a ridiculous statement.- 413 replies

You could have a verified video of IDF personnel dropping a 2-ton bomb on a Gaza daycare center and heâd say the camera was antisemitic.
