Why so Syriaous (Syria Megathread)
We’re hosting an Al Qaeda terrorist that use to have a $10mm bounty on his head at the WH today. A few weeks ago he was shooting hoops with American generals in Syria while a systematic genocide of Syrian Christians plays out. The absurdity just insists upon itself.

You should bump the healthcare policy thread. Seriously.

I guess high quality is relative. Of the 10 underlying studies, at least one of them has been retracted (also happens to be one that the authors rated most highly on quality), majority were open label, and there are indicators of publication bias in the articles that were included. The point estimates for weight loss (~15lbs) given the duration of the underlying studies is improbable, so of course deserves some scrutiny. I didn't dig into all the studies, but here is the retraction that popped with literally the second underlying article that I looked at. Not a good look when the only underlying study that was published in a journal family you would recognize is retracted. https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/2025/09/23/bmjnph-2023-000823ret Wide ranging concerns were raised about the quality of the work after publication, including the approach to statistical analysis of the dataset; implausible values; concern about the reliability of the underlying dataset; inadequate reporting of the work; and absence of prospective trial registration, which is a breach of BMJ policy.2 3

Even worse, heaven forbid you make one fucking donation to a democrat and you show up on the public record rolls and they sell your info and you start getting text messages from Gavin fn Newsome.

Ending the shutdown is the right thing. The fact that the democrats did it in the most politically degrading way possible is just fun theatre.

Looks like he's seen some shit.- 2025/2026 Hunting Thread
At least one of his buddies seems to have gone missing, but itching to turn this one into sausage.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
The answer, wrt timing at least, is right there.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Still trying to understand where you are at wrt ACA these days?- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Only democrats could get away this long with voting against funding SNAP benefits.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Check that. Actually my parents are driving here for Tday and Xmas is less than 10 minutes drive.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
All my holiday engagements are within 1.5h driving distance. I do have to pick my wife and daughter up at AUS tonight though.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I agree with that take. That was the play, and the D's just played themselves politically by caving. But in the real world, this is a good thing. If this stretched through Tday and into December it would have been a total shit show. You tell me.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Come on guys. If this shit held over the next few weeks into holiday travel season, it was going to be a shit show. The dems that caved did the right thing. It was an absurdity to shutdown the government over ACA subsidies that were time limited by D design.- 2025/2026 Hunting Thread
Bow hunt them or capture them in controlled settings and send them off to the processor to deposit at the local food shelter. Win-win.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Made the edit to make clear that I was not referring to you individually.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
God help the person relying on our political system to find meaning in their life.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Only to saddle themselves with the responsibility for it when it becomes clear that it only takes a few to flip to fix the shutdown. Just horribly ineffective and blow up in your face politics.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
It doesn't have to be this way, but as long as people continue to play the two party system game, there is no way out. Channel your frustration into something useful maybe, cause continuing to pull the lever for the D (as well as the Rs) isn't helping anything,- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Do you now support the ACA and the subsidies that prop up that dysfunctional system? Cause I remember you being a pretty vocal opponent.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
You don't.- ICE activity/raids
seems like an important part that might could be part of the tweet. "During the operation, a U.S. citizen exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car," the statement alleged. "He was arrested for assault and during his arrest a pistol was found in his car, that is reported stolen out of the state of New York. The individual has an active warrant for property damage." - 2025/2026 Hunting Thread
