It's no outrage at all. Just an observation. I don't know what it is with you kids and the need to always see "outrage" in somebody's reply. It's stupid.
EDITED: BTW, I'm 74 years old, and you calling me a "kid" is a great compliment. And my wife just rolled on the carpet laughing when she read your post. Thanks for the entertainment.Last edited by little_monkey; 08-04-2020, 06:48 AM.

I mean, technically, firing a big jet of compressed air at them would be "gassing" them, but that also would be far from the usual implication of the term, "gassing."

It appears they removed him from an active protest area to question him at a safer location.
Safer for themselves and for him.
It happened, and it fits the description precisely - even though you mock the reality.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostNow that I think of it, if the election was delayed then wouldn't the position of POTUS fall to the speaker of the House until a due election could be held, and wouldn't that be Nancy Pelosi?
After all, what if the election were delayed (I don't think that's actually possible) and he were reelected?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIf you can control the language, then you win every argument by default.
There is this ONE example that keeps being used over and over to make it sound like this is some horrible standard procedure that is occurring all across the nation.
Meanwhile, the "peaceful protesters", the "wall of moms", the "wall of veterans".... the language makes the anarchists look like saints and the law and order look like Gestapo.
Why? That's the narrative.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

USA Today FactCheck
A database by the International Committee of the Red Cross shows the ban of riot control agents in war went into effect in 1997, but still made it legal for law enforcement use. The Senate approved the CWC in a 74-26 vote on April 25, 1997.
And, if it's "defenders of the government actions" vs the anarchists who wish to destroy our nation, I'll go with the "government actions" in this case.
By the way, Barr (yeah, I know, you think he's a lacky) did an excellent job explaining the situation between interruptions by the incredibly hostile Democrats when they would yell questions at him, not let him answer, make accusations, and even "Take as no" things he said that were nowhere near "no".

Originally posted by little_monkey View PostSo according to you, trans people reading to kids in a classroom is "just dumb".
And why? Because they wear makeup?? These kids have never been exposed to humans wearing makeup??? So if a female teacher is wearing makeup while performing her duties in a classroom that would also be "just dumb", according to your logic.
However, you did use the word "outrageous" in post #123. So you've just admitted that it was stupid on your part to be outrageous by a trans reading a story in a classroom setting.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostThere's a law in the constitution that specifies very clearly when the presidency and vice-presidency of a person terminates, I think it's January 20th or something like that.
With the president and vice-president absent it falls to the speaker of the House to act in their place. That's Nancy Pelosi. And if it's not her it'll be a Democratic majority house who'll get to select a temporary president until the election.
