One can define X or Y based on their own expectations of X or Y, but what about someone else who's upbringing or Culture has different definitions of X and Y? What about cultures who go into the Z axis? It puts into perspective how absolutely arbitrary a lot of our definitions are yet there -is- a definition there somewhere.

    I won't get too much further into it, because of forum rules and the fact that the topic is -so- broad and outside my usual wheel house that I couldn't even begin to do it justice. But the whole thing is quite fascinating.

    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Just gonna gloss over the use of x&y as variables in a gender debate. I see you, and it's hilarious.

    Talking about Josh HAwley, the Senator from 4Chan. That likes talking about kiddie porn more than a guy from NAMBLA.

    Oh, I thought you were talking about questions posed by the senators. Either way, some info for you.

    Thanks, but yeah, I was talking about the known posters on here who keep lying through their teeth and intentionally trying to spread misinformation, troll and derailing the threads before moderation is allowed to actually moderate.

    Won't lie, would love to have put in place where politicians could be bound to legal consequences for lying to the public and in chambers, but was beyond the scope of this and I know they would never willingly push those legal restrictions on themselves and if they did the GOP would try and weaponize it where they could lie with impunity while others could not only not lie but they would push legal actions for them telling the truth they didn't want to hear.

    This is really the whole game with the GOP, in a single gif.

    No substantive opposition to anything that they oppose - just "CRT".

    This is the depth of the intellectual well for American conservatism, and it has about the same liquid depth as the Atacama Desert. In that it's the driest place in the world, like the mind of the Republican party, apparently.
    But is it dryer than Ben Shapiro's wife?

    Yes, it's a bullshit question with no relevance to her role as a Justice. Stop shilling for bigots.

    Yes, you've discovered a reason that Senator Blackburn should be censured and possibly impeached; for wasting time on obviously dishonest horseshit non-questions that only serve as extremist partisan dogwhistles.

    I'm sure that's not why you posted it, but that's all it amount to nonetheless.

    Seems par for the course. Republicans have just been using these confirmation hearings to air their laundry list of pet grievances. The only time they even remotely approached anything beyond that it was still dishonest horseshit (IE: That whole line of attack about her being soft on sex offenders. Or Graham being weirdly insistent about knowing her religious denomination.)

    The woman who asked a child a week ago for details of their crotch. That's who you are championing here. That's just gross.

    The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week fell to its lowest level in 52 years as the U.S. job market continues to show strength in the midst of rising costs and an ongoing virus pandemic.

    Jobless claims fell by 28,000 to 187,000 for the week ending March 19, the lowest since September of 1969, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications for jobless aid generally track the pace of layoffs.
    Thanks, Biden!

    Needing to know what a woman is, isn't in her fucking job description.

    It’s important when you are a mask off transphobic bigot like Ned.

    You don't have to frame a response to a gotcha question better. Personally, she should have just said "go be stupid somewhere else" but that's me.

    So instead of focusing on her qualifications as a judge, they want to embroil her in identity politics. There's really no other reason to ask a question like this.

    Funny thing is? All they had to do is ask her stance on Roe v Wade and they actually have a legit issue to gripe about. Whether or not she's a CRT teacher -- she's not -- have zero to do with her qualifications. SCOTUS doesn't teach classes.

    So the people who get to say "I told you so" with Manchin get their day I guess. Manchin is a supposed "yes" on Jackson.

    I DESPISE this guy so much! I don't know if I should give him credit since he could have easily sabotaged this into getting a more conservative judge. He still has killed every somewhat good legislation the Dems have had and has sabotaged the Dems as getting to say they at least had some legislation for the upcoming election.

    So for all of you take your victory lap today on Manchin, who say we need him. I guess Sinema too.
