Re: POLLS SHOW THE RACE TIGHTEN – RENEWING DEBTATES ABOUT POLLS

I think the last statement about accurately polling people under 40 is possibly the most meaningful one, especially given what's been reported about the surge in voter registration among younger people and the fact that people who have registered just before an election are more likely to actually vote.

The most important freedom of today's capitalism is the freedom to lie. See the policies of tobacco companies and fossil fuel industries as they defend their freedom to pollute and to cause suffering.

The greatest enemy of this plan is your average residential ISP.

My wife is telling me that our home internet is being flaky, repeatedly dropping out.

Everything from Spectrum is down in Lee's Summit, MO.

There's an outage in Lee's Summit, MO. Complete blackout.

Nah, in reality it would turn out much more like the fate of cryptocurrency. Libertarian delusions just aren't that impressive after a little thought.

Well, I can picture that as the Republican slate. I have my doubts about it winning because DeSantis is just as vile towards minorities as Trump. Those attitudes aren't going to do as much for him in a general election as Republicans think.

I think some of the things he's doing just might produce a backlash in Russia against the war. Calling up more Russian men for the military to die in Ukraine just might not be very popular at this point.

Well, the post lying about what happened January 6th shows how much of a lie your chosen nom du deceit is.

Re: DC's Rumored New Boss Pokes Fun at SnyderVerse Fans

Jim_Satterfield — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:26:07 -0000

Not all DC fans are Snyder fans. I liked Man of Steel, didn't dislike his other work but some of what I heard about what he wanted to do like Lois Lane having an affair and a child with Bruce Wayne in what seemed like an awfully short time span after Superman's death just didn't appeal to me at all. And if Snyder is really adapting an Ayn Rand novel (The Fountainhead) then I really question his taste.

Not yet. If the Republican Party ever gets control of the Senate, House, and Presidency again any time soon that will change and this SCOTUS would support it.

We now live with a tyranny of the minority thanks to the structure of the Senate, gerrymandering, and the Electoral College.

It's a very special kind of self righteousness that claims the Bible says something that it doesn't but objects to the idea of the Constitution inferring something.

There's also no mention of banning it in the Bible. Doesn't stop the Christian Taliban.

That's a little complex for him to grasp.

Meanwhile, in the real world those good-paying jobs demand skills that many don't have and there are people who have tested some of those claims by employers and found that when they went in presenting the asked for qualifications they never even got an interview, much less a job.

Re: Progressive economic theories run into some inconvenient truths

Jim_Satterfield — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 11:18:14 -0000

Mr. Joffe is a joke. Consider this statement: "These various sources of supplemental, non-work income (stimulus checks, enhanced unemployment benefits, and refundable tax credits) are exacerbating the labor shortage the U.S. currently faces. ". Note that there is no evidence and recent studies would seem to give the lie to it. But the peasants must be shoved into unpleasant jobs that don't pay a living wage and offer few if any benefits otherwise our excuse for an economic system won't work. And we can't have that because it would show the rot that underlies the libertarian and conservative ideas as they are implemented in the United States.

None of the nations that signed on were ones that neighbor Israel or have been directly involved in violent conflicts with them.

Re: Trump pressures McConnell, GOP to ditch bipartisan talks until they have majority

Jim_Satterfield — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 17:56:34 -0000

No, infrastructure is not a priority for Republicans. Their only priority is whatever priority that wealthy people who claim to be libertarians want, which mostly means whatever it takes to increase their wealth, especially lower taxes. I wonder what excuse they'll come up with someday to say that corporations shouldn't be paying any taxes.

Re: Finally, a conservative plan to fix America's broken health care system

Haskins belongs to the Heartland Institute, an organization that has been lying about climate science since the first day of the organization's existence. They aren't honest about anything. Haskins also conveniently leaves out that those government programs that have problems largely have them because people like him and everyone else at Heartland insist on them being chronically underfunded, which is the same thing they would do for poor people on their new program if it was ever implemented. He also conveniently leaves out that it is that capitalism he worships that has pharmaceutical companies charging far more than they need to for life saving drugs that have nothing to do with how much they spend on research like insulin.

Given that Mitch McConnell has stated that 100% of his focus is on stopping Biden her attempt to blame Democrats for everything just doesn't ring true.

Re: Sen. Susan Collins won't support 28 percent corporate tax rate

Jim_Satterfield — Sun, 02 May 2021 19:06:38 -0000

Meanwhile in the real world there's no American Corporation that cares one bit about creating jobs. Also, if Republican lies about corporate reactions to taxes were true the 2017 tax cut would have created jobs like they claimed it would. Instead the overwhelming majority of the money went for stock buybacks and other corporate fiscal maneuvers that did nothing for jobs.

If you check the background of the writers of the article you'll understand why they want to defend a pathological liar who has no principles.

I think his chosen alias hsows that he's neither sane or will ever have an opinion worth reading.
