@JustIndianaGirl I'm guessing the MAGA neighbor was equally, or maybe even more so, glad you moved on. The statement in your tweet is nothing you should be proud of....

House hunting in rural Indiana. *Neighbor is flying a maga flag.* Me: Pass Realtor: wanna look inside? Me: Nope

@TheFungi669 Clearly you have no clue what the purpose of the electoral college is. Not to mention that the US has never been a Democracy and hopefully never will be ...

The Electoral College is the most undemocratic system in the world. It allows tyranny by the minority against the majority.

@CynicalPublius @jatticusbowden I don't disagree with you about much but I do disagree about Lee. There was no United States at the time he joined the Confederacy because the States were not united. What we have now is different than the way it was then because things changed when the USA was put back together

@jatticusbowden Lee took the Oath of Office of a United States Army officer. He violated that oath. No amount of rationalization or revisionism changes the objective truth of what I just said. Period.

You violated your oath of office in the most profound manner since the American generals and admirals who defected to the Confederacy in 1861. In a just world you would be in the Disciplinary Barracks at Leavenworth in a cell next to your equally reprehensible brother, on a forced low-calorie diet so you might finally meet Army weight control standards. You and your brother disgraced the uniform that the tens of millions of us who served wore so honorably. You disgust me, and you disgust the overwhelming majority of veterans. You are vile, you are loathsome, you are the mold that collects on an old sneaker after it gets gum on the sole and you forget to clean it off.

@thejackhopkins @maryjowicket @OhRick4 I am reading this thread and laughing hysterically ... Republicans know Democrats NEVER play by the rules and haven't since maybe Nixon/Ford ... For sure, the Clinton years on. They have for years accused Republicans of doing what they themselves are, in fact, doing. Wake up!

@maryjowicket @OhRick4 Maybe you haven’t realized it, yet, but Republicans are kicking our ass with messaging…because they KNOW Democrats play by the rules. They’ve exploited that weakness. They need to cease being able to know and rely upon us…always following the rules.

I think Democrats have missed an opportunity outside the courthouse in NY. Democratic Congressmen/women should have been there holding press conferences as well, vigorously condemning, not Donald Trump, but the very Republicans who have been traveling to NY to trash the very underpinnings of all of the good things this country has had as its foundation for almost 250 years.

@ScottAdamsSays No they will default on the loans and turn us into a 3rd world country so everyone can be poor together, except them of course because they will have protected their finances since they knew it was coming...

Okay, I just figured out why Americans are not sufficiently panicked about our debt situation. They assume that at some point Congress will be forced to make painful spending cuts, like Argentina, so everything will work out. We are waaaaay past that being feasible. Our brains treat $1 trillion and $35 trillion the same because both numbers are beyond imagination. If we had a $1 trillion problem, we could budget our way out of it. We have a $35 trillion problem and growing.

@redcountysage @SteveRo83760489 @CynicalPublius I find it interesting that atheists and agnostics will believe that there is the possibility of "things they don't know are true, but yet are absolutely true ". However, they refuse to try to get to know God because they believe He can't be true because someone told them so.

@SteveRo83760489 @CynicalPublius Most atheists would probably say it is possible, but that no evidence exists for proving God. Possible is one of those funny words that requires context in the question. Anything, one can say, is possible. It may not be that you disagree with most atheists at all.

I know this will perturb a whole bunch of my followers, but I find atheism to be an extraordinarily arrogant and ill-conceived belief system. (And please don't tell me it's only a "lack of belief"; it's not, it's a concrete set of beliefs regarding the nature of existence.) I'm not talking about simple rejection of specific (or all) religious beliefs and practices. Instead I'm talking about "knowing" with certainty that the universe is an accident and there is not a sentient creator (or sentient creators) of all things. The individual hubris involved in reaching such a determination is astonishing, and it puts the transient nature of the current self over and above all other people and things that have ever existed or ever will exist. Further, it's a failure of the imagination. (And no I'm not saying God is "imaginary," I'm saying that to arrive at the certain conclusion that there is no God is reflective of a lack of a personal ability to imagine alternate scenarios as to existence.) I guess I would not even bother saying any of this were it not for the propensity of most vocal atheists to consider themselves to be intellectually superior, whereas I find the most strident in their camp to possess inferior intellects. Finally, many atheists adopt the belief set because they think it will make them look smart, as opposed to adopting it because they ARE smart. It's a variation on virtue-signaling. I'm sure this post will generate zero controversy. (Next week: Why the Earth is not flat.)

@ScottAdamsSays They can imagine the solution, and they don't like what they see, nor do they want to be the Congress responsible for implementing the solution. They would rather wait until the country collapses and then blame it on someone else. It's the "I didn't do it" principle.

What does it mean that no serious person has even suggested a solution for the US debt problem? We can all see the problem is fatal if unaddressed. Ideas for solving the debt crisis are ignored because -- as far as I can tell -- no credible person can even IMAGINE a solution.

@AwakenedInnova3 @CynicalPublius So does having sex, so I guess she already agreed to the change...

@CynicalPublius You underrepresent the negatives. Pregnancy changes (damages?) the woman's body for life. Having a child may affect all future relationships whether you keep or put the child up for adoption.

Here's the thing I don't get about the abortion debate. I believe human life begins at conception. If I am wrong, I am guilty of holding a misguided belief. If you are wrong, you are guilty of being an accomplice to the mass infanticide of hundreds of millions of children, and quite possibly a murderer yourself. How do the Fascist Democrats not see this?

This is accurate

@MichLKosinski @BraneRunner So you're voting for Trump, since Biden is the biggest career fraudster in the race.

@BraneRunner How about, don't vote for career fraudsters who are willing to lie tens of thousands of times, sexually abuse women, and steal? Basic enough?

A few weeks ago, I had dinner with a few couples, friends of friends, all American. All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures....

@JayeJaybird54 This is Democrat propaganda! Wake up is right. Democrats are lying about Republicans and have been since before Obama.

#ProudBlue #DemVoice1 This is not how I choose to live out my senior years. Hopefully, a family member would take me in. But some people don’t have that option. All they have is their Social Security and Medicare. Wake up, people! Vote BLUE!

@arty_burton @ScottAdamsSays There are clearly benefits to gravity and the oxygenation of the combustion engine. There are clearly no good benefits to Marxism. There are lots of downsides to it. Your statement was so flawed that it qualifies as disingenuous.

@ScottAdamsSays Marxism is a framework for understanding the cause/effect links of different economic arrangements. It has no more or less benefits than the theory of gravity or the theory of oxygenation driven combustion - and “works out” about as well. But feel free to believe in phlogiston.

I tried asking ChatGPT to explain the claimed benefits of Marxism. It said a few things about trying to achieve economic fairness of some sort. Got it. Then I asked for any example in which Marxism worked out well for a country. There are none. I've never met a Marxist. Why do they think their idea works?

@paulapoundstone Because it's a Federal election... State's rights is to keep the feds out of state business not to let's states interfere with Federal business. Beware of Democrat sophistry.

If the Supreme Court is so into "States' rights," why couldn't Colorado and Maine take Trump off of their ballot?

@_iamblakeley @tedcruz Real Christianity is in no way antisemitic. Never has been. Never will be. Technically, it teaches Christians are added, aka grafted in, to the Jewish race. So we are the same. God's people, and hated by the world because of it.

@tedcruz And yet you have nothing to say about the wildly unconstitutional bill that just passed Congress criminalizing Christianity and stripping Americans of their First Amendment rights. 🤡nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

Hell no.

@daviddunn177 I think you have it completely backward. Start with Reagan fixing Carter's economy ... The cycle is: the economy does well under Republicans, so everyone feels generous and votes in a Democrat. Democrat drives it into the ground, so Republicans get elected to fix it. Repeat....

You would think after Bill Clinton fixed the economy that George H.W. Bush broke & after Barack Obama fixed the economy that George W. Bush broke & after Joe Biden fixed the economy that Donald Trump broke that people would stop voting for Republicans.

@TJaneB2 @Radar6061 @remax281 For disasters, they absolutely did, as did other service organizations.

@SharonWildey @Radar6061 @remax281 Considering tfg wouldn't give aide to CA or any blue state, unless the governor was nice, I think the original post was right on the money.

@JayeJaybird54 Democrat talking point. The recession was due to Democrat policy. Unfortunately, the result of the policy didn't show up until the Republicans took over. Check your economics and timing rather than regurgitating talking points.

#ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Seriously! Anyone who does this is truly living on the Peak of Mount Stupid!

@michaelt5656 Don't call yourself a Republican, please, because you are not.

I am a lifelong Republican. There are 35.3 million registered Republicans (MAGA represents 1/3 of that). We have huge organizations such as Reps. for Biden, The Lincoln Project & Reps. Voters Against Trump. We have chosen country over party. We’re here & we’re voting!

@ScottAdamsSays God is real, and although He has the power and capacity to force you to serve Him, He chooses to allow you to decide if you want to follow Him or not. He bestows free will to us. Or a dog always acts like a dog. A human has the ability to act like a dog. A dog can't be human.

If you still think free will is real, try defining it in a way that doesn’t apply to AI and isn’t just substituting words for free will (such as “choose”). Usual argument: “I have free will because I can choose! And I can choose because I have free will!”
