  1. Only as a last resort. Trump made it part of an immigration deterrence policy. "Zero tolerance." I'm informed, sorry. Yeah, I'm going to keep "hiding" behind being a decent human being. Oh no.
  2. Let's assume you're right, though. Let's assume that every Democratic politician is a mindless robot who wants to stop jailing children at the border because they think it will keep them in power, and not because jailing children at the border is wrong. Great, I want them to stay in power. If they "accidentally" do the right thing by humanity because they want my vote, they can have it.
  3. Trump has hastened along the slide of the conservative platform. First Snopes would come out and fact check Republican bullshit about Democrats during the Bush years, so to reconcile Snopes had to be biased liars. Then the rest of the "mainstream media" started fact checking Republican bullshit, so all of the news was biased liars. Then scientists, academics, and economists started fact checking Republican bullshit, so anything remotely intellectual had to be biased liars. Then basic human decency started fact checking Republican bullshit, and rather than stop and think, "Wow, what the fuck are we doing? Jailing children and turning away refugees. Are we the baddies?" No, then reality has to be a biased liar. When did being a decent fucking human being become a political position? Why can't I say "I want people to have health insurance and not to be thrown in jail because they wanted to leave a horrible country" without being accused of being a partisan hack?! I just want to be nice to people and reduce the suffering in the world. You're so far gone, man.
  4. Are they BOTH naked political ploys that Democrats only pretend to care about for the votes? Pray tell.
  5. I care about children being separated at the border from their parents just to appease a bunch of ignorant, xenophobic morons. You have to be deep, deep into conspiracy moron land to think that Democrats are doing it because they want the 10,000 votes for Democrats from illegals and not because it's inhumane to put kids in cages. I know in your world that's "fake news" and didn't actually happen, and isn't still happening. Which is pretty sick.
  6. Let me know when this accuser actually steps forward. I don't know that I've ever said "believe all accusers." I think "take all accusations seriously" is about as far as anyone would go. If you want to argue that the appropriate authorities should be looking into this, I'm all for it. Personally, I believe people who seem credible, and I don't believe those who don't. Is that too outrageous a position? In any case, I'm sure Republicans will be lining up to defend Corey Booker from these accusations and not using #metoo to score political points. Because weaponizing #metoo for political gain is bad.
  7. Yes, #metoo means we have to throw all logic and reason out the window, and treat fake sounding anonymous twitter posts the same as all other accusations.
  8. WWG1WGA <- total sign of independent thought
  9. I missed this earlier because I wasn't up to speed on this latest cringe-worthy insult from the incel red-pillers. Guess I don't spend enough time on 4chan. I'll cop to not really understanding the intent behind this totally intelligent additional to our public discourse. Is it simply to dehumanize the opposition? Like they're not real people, they're just NPCs, so when the Proud Boys start fights or white nationalists inevitably resort to mass shootings like they do, nobody will feel as bad about it? Or is it implying that us liberal soy-boy beta faggot cucks aren't actually thinking for ourselves and are just following along with society's programming? Like, only a whole bunch of edgelord freethinkers are smart enough to sign lease paperwork on the exact same car. It's a mystery.
  10. That's interesting, I didn't realize. I just did a bit of research, the EPA encourages people not to use r134a air dusters but that's about it. I'll call a few shops, see if it's worth the hassle. Thanks for the responses.
  11. I need to replace the entire AC system in a car with a seized engine. I just had the system recharged this summer so I know it's all full. I've read this isn't a diy thing, true? Is this the sort of thing a tech could do in my garage with the right equipment, or is the equipment prohibitively large? Hoping I don't need a tow just for this and I also want to do right by the environment...
  12. Does Trump really think he's a svelte 180?
  13. I won't. Clinton is a fucking creep and the Democrats haven't done enough to condemn him.
  14. And here's my counter. You don't have any interest in my opinion, or the beef I had with Mace's repugnant characterization of the allegation. You're intellectually lazy in that regard. Instead you have a talking point, and you want to beat that drum. That drum beat is "Kavanaugh was guilty until proven innocent!" It's a stupid drum beat, but it's the drum beat Trump and Fox have latched on to. It has nothing to do with me, Mace, or anything else you were replying to. But you have this drum, and you want to beat it.
  15. Words mean things; if you're going to change the definition of "if" on me then I don't know how to continue. "If" indicates a supposition, it's not a statement of fact or probabilty. If that's too heady of a concept for you, what word would you like me to use?
  16. You fucking suck at reading comprehension. Read what I wrote again. Look closely for the word "if". I give your rant 0 stars, would not read again.
  17. You're right, I don't know you so all I can go off of is by the things you type here. And that thing you typed was repugnant. I hope you reflect on how you come off when you diminish sexual assault like that. It's one thing not to believe her, it's a whole other thing to pretend like her story, if true, describes acceptable behavior. It does not, full stop.
  18. Maybe because it's just 1 guy's opinion and not, say, a notable movement? Should the media cover every guy who has an opinion? Or only those that get you riled up? Go read some white nationalist/racist/holocaust denier literature, all kinds of whacky opinions in there, coming from a lot more than just one guy on "lgbtnation.com". Maybe you could direct your anger somewhere more useful then. If you think "when the victim wrestled herself away and locked herself in a bathroom" is the same thing as "stopped when asked," then you're a piece of shit and I hope you don't come anywhere near my kids.
  19. Fuck, driving range, that's what I couldn't think of. I had a key just like that to get balls out of the machine in the 90s. Everything's RFID now.
  20. Yes, I've seen similar keys and they're always for security systems -- pools, clubs, etc. Too many pins for USB, right?
  21. Voting Republican to fix the government and the media wasn't my dumbass theory. I was just asking how it was supposed to work. Well kudos for not doubling down on your mistake, that seems hard for conservatives to do.
  22. Here's your direct words. You say that the political world and even media won't admit that Trump won because "government is broken" and "the news is broken." But then you say there's no actual connection between either of those things being broken and voting for Trump. So is there a connection, as you say, or is there no connection, as you also say? I mean, if I'm so smart, why can't I resolve your obvious contradiction? Maybe I'm not smart enough.
  23. What does this even mean? I'm not waiting for General Electric to fix "shit" either, but if I found myself on GE's board and were voting for GE's next CEO, I'd like to think I'd have some logic behind my decision. If you don't think the president matters, don't vote.
  24. America needs less Policy and more Personal Responsibility, ergo vote Trump. Still not seeing the connection.
