    STOP saying "that's what the American people voted for!"

    Well, I wish I could get upset that Trump is President, but hey, that's what the American people voted for... I am pretty sure President Trump gets many more nights of peace and satisfaction than you do. God, that must be killing you right now. You know, the only times when I really feel...

    Who should Take the Pill? Men or Women?

    Flip a coin. Who cares? So long as one or the other takes the pill, just do it. I mean if two consenting adults can't agree on who gets to take the pill, then they aren't mature enough to be shagging anyhow.

    Trump just called for full repeal of ACA

    That's funny. Its a crap study because you disagree? 1) What is the "sufficient" time required to study the effect of Medicaid? How did you determine that two years is not enough. Would three years be enough? Four? You're just making stuff up. 2) The opioid epidemic actually began prior...

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest I quoted the law noted in Gorsuch's dissent. It does not demand that the "husband" be listed. If you wish to argue this point, then please, support your case, don't just state your opinion as a fact. I...

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest You are clearly reading the above differently than I am (and Gorsuch for that matter). I'm sure though you believe your understanding of the law far exceeds that of a sitting Supreme Court justice. I see...

    Trump just called for full repeal of ACA

    1) You are arguing that repealing the ACA is about more than health mandates, taxes, and subsidies. Ok. Ultimately, the goal is, I presume, to improve health outcomes. That's the only claim I've made. The ACA has not improved health outcomes. You talk about how the ACA has solved this...

    I'd ask him: who does his hair? It is always so magnificent.

    Trump just called for full repeal of ACA

    Funny thing about the ACA. You know how many people's lives have been saved by the ACA? I'll give you a clue. Less than 1. https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/will-repealing-obamacare-kill-people-10044.html "The best statistical estimate for the number of lives saved each year by the...

    A black off-duty cop tried to help stop a crime. Another officer shot him.

    I think, once again, what this case shows is that not everyone should be a cop. Was this an example of racism? I don't know. Really. I don't care. Even a racist cop could/should have avoided shooting at the off-duty officer. I guess, my point here is, an innocent guy was shot by a cop who...

    Sarah Palin sues New York Times for defamation [W:290]

    Re: Sarah Palin sues New York Times for defamation My argument was never insisting that Palin has a slam-dunk case. I'm saying her case is reasonable.

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Made up the part??? It was a direct quote from the statute. I read the statute quoted in Gorsuch's dissent (which I also read) and noted that the issue is not not as cut and dry as the opinion from the...

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Thanks. This is good context to add. In the dissent, only § 9-10-201 was cited as far as I could tell. I think that Gorsuch was looking for the state's intent here and going to the orignal statute to...

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest I don't know all the particulars of the case. I read Gorsuch's dissent and then read the actual Arkansas law. The Slate author simply does not paint the entire picture nor accurately describe the law in...

    Sarah Palin sues New York Times for defamation [W:290]

    Re: Sarah Palin sues New York Times for defamation I stand corrected with regards to malice. However, I also misunderstood the definition of malice as used demonstrate libel. From your source. "In United States law, a public figure is a person such as a politician, celebrity, or business...

    Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest Log

    Re: Gorsuch’s First Anti-Gay Dissent Has a Huge Factual Error—and Terrible, Dishonest There is one problem with your story (or the story you're telling). It is not factually correct. At the very least, the narrative from the author you are quoting is inserting his opinion and claiming it is...
