why is it you always manage to dodge this judean isreali jewish question, you keep dodging it ... never give an opinion .... are you paid NOT to speak freely?

but here we go ... mr shapeshitfer says he say he's destroyed the party?

Which party?

The Party of Irangate, contras, guns and drugs, giving Iranian terrorists weapons?
the Party of Nixon, Tricky Dick?
the party of gun running and neo-con war mongering?
The Party of Dennis Hastert, molester, pedophile?
the party of lobbying, jewish corruption and banker scandals? the party of Schmitz obstructing the FBI, Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal? on claims that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat in order to sell the war in Iraq the public was told that Saddam posed an imminent attack invasion?
The Party of Enron, the invasion of Iraq blaming Iraq for 911 and wasting blood and treasure over a lie that Iraq had WMDs...

The financial crisis, leading to a global economic downturn

Trump is lying this morning about Cliff Sims, who was on TV last night:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
A low level staffer that I hardly knew named Cliff Sims wrote yet another boring book based on made up stories and fiction. He pretended to be an insider when in fact he was nothing more than a gofer. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. He is a mess!

Cliff Sims Helped Curate Trump's Enemies List
Cliff Sims, author of the latest White House tell-all, 'Team of Vipers,' has seen everything from Donald Trump's enemies list to Kellyanne Conway's text messages.

Trump's people took a poll that’s full of bad news for Trump — like that his approval rating is probably 13 points underwater nationally and he’s less popular than Democratic House incumbents who are holding down Trump-voting districts — and wrote it up as if it’s good news for Trump.

If Trump is made aware that his highly confrontational approach to immigration policy is unpopular, it’s conceivable that he will try to replace it with a different and more popular approach. That would serve his interest in being reelected, but also serve the American people’s strong interest in avoiding future government shutdowns.

And while in general there is more to statesmanship than “do popular stuff while avoiding unpopular stuff,” it’s honestly not a terrible starting point. At a minimum, relative to the current Trump baseline, trying to be more popular — fewer shutdowns and tweets, more happy photo ops to emphasize good economic news, maybe actually doing something about infrastructure — would be a really good idea.

But for that to happen, Trump’s people need to have the courage to tell him his strategy isn’t working. Instead, Trump's people seem to be trying to curry favor with the president by painting an unduly rosy picture of the situation — an approach that’s likely to end in tears . . .

I hope Trump ignores the polls telling him to give America a smaller serving of his trademarked craziness. Also, I hope he trashes the Republican party's reputation and the GOP loses many seats in Congress in 2020.

Quoting from that article:

As you probably know, putting fluoride in our drinking water dramatically reduced tooth decay, by around 25 percent per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But as you likely also know, the initial rollout of fluoride in the 1940s and 1950s was intensely controversial.

Jesse Hicks, a science journalist who wrote a great history of the fluoride wars, told me on this week’s Future Perfect podcast that the backlash started in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, with a local gadfly named Alexander Y. Wallace who was convinced the substance was poison, and who wrote a parody song called “Goodnight, Flourine” to the tune of the folk song “Goodnight, Irene.”

From there, the conspiratorial, far-right John Birch Society became convinced that fluoride was a Communist plot; the Ku Klux Klan came out against fluoride too. “I think part of the longevity of this controversy has to do with the way it can activate so many different biases and prejudices,” Hicks told me. “As soon as you start talking about putting something in the water supply you have small or anti-government people responding very vigorously against that.”

Wednesday, January 30, 2019 7:12 AM

What is your point?

Fluoride was put in the water to prevent tooth decay. Whether or not that is entirely true is irrelevant in comparison to Lithium.

Lithium is used to treat bi-polar disorder. It's a chemical that is well known to effect brain chemistry.

Vox is promoting drugging people and altering people's brain chemistry en masse, under the guise of (potentially) preventing a few suicides.

Here comes the insult, 6ixStringJack: As usual, you missed the point completely. Some people (I have examples in mind of Texans) just refuse to listen or be reasonable about fluoride. So they end up drinking only bottled water (or beer). They are the people who joined the John Birch Society, the KKK, voted for Trump, hostile toward fluoride, have rotten teeth, etc. They are exactly the kind of people that need to be drugged with lithium. Some of them (again, real Texans) have committed suicide. They were crazy and didn't know it. What they think is not actually guided by their personal values or a philosophy or a choice to live free; it is a brain malfunction. Do they sense that they are malfunctioning? Not a chance in hell, their brains are so out of order. It is why they had so many problems in life that sane people easily avoid.

Quote:

Political conservatives are happier than liberals. We proposed that this happiness gap is accounted for by specific attitude and personality differences associated with positive adjustment and mental health. In contrast, a predominant social psychological explanation of the gap is that conservatives, who are described as fearful, defensive, and low in self-esteem, will rationalize away social inequalities in order to justify the status quo (system justification). In four studies, conservatives expressed greater personal agency (e.g., personal control, responsibility), more positive outlook (e.g., optimism, self-worth), more transcendent moral beliefs (e.g., greater religiosity, greater moral clarity, less tolerance of transgressions), and a generalized belief in fairness, and these differences accounted for the happiness gap. These patterns are consistent with the positive adjustment explanation.

Keep telling yourself that, bud.

And do keep in mind in our little microcosm that is the RWED who is constantly bitching about everything over the last two years.

It certainly isn't me. Everything is copacetic here.

If you want Lithium, be my guest. I'm sure your doctor will prescribe it for you. Keep it out of my drinking water, thank you very much.

Oh, and I will thank you once again for another shining example of your own personal fascist viewpoint on the world. Underlined in your quote above.

I know you're all about freedom, until it's somebody you don't agree with. Then it's up to you to decide who should and shouldn't be on drugs.

She spanked him and sent him to his room without supper - "No wall for you, young man." Then gave him permission to speak in the House Chamber.

Ann Coulter got into the festivities and called him a wimp. Embarrassing.

And despite tweets, speeches, more tweets and still more tweets conflated to equal governance, and enabled by the lack of an AG for TWO fking plus YEARS!!!!,, Trump still expects the Dems to experience an epi[phany - unlike the feckless Congressional RINOS. Trump is a feckless poser.

Well, nothing to see here. I guess trump had a good week. I wonder if he will
submit an executive order. He should definitely keep listening to Steve Miller and company, because, so far, they are knocking it out of the ballpark.

That is a long wait for a train that ain't comin'... Being wrong only seems to make them more pigheaded and spiteful. I have seen people on this very board be coddled and schooled by some very smart posters, only to ignore their generous and patient council with very little consideration. Never has the phrase, "They are their own worst enemies," been more applicable. That is the majority of Trump voters that I know, the very same ones Trump wouldn't stop to spit on and yet they think the world of him, "He tells it like it is!"

And don't talk to me about lying about what was in the article either. You're already quoted on this board defending the practice of drugging people en masse with Lithium, especially Trump voters.

I have seen the doctor on that show tell patients over and over that if they don't stop they will die. What takes courage, or maybe stupidity, is to keep eating.

6ix, you stopped drinking poison and you want a fucking medal for bravery? Real heroes get the medal for doing something that will harm them, NOT for NOT doing what will harm them. Your understanding of bravery is upside down and backwards. You won't get a medal of courage for not drinking flammable liquids followed by swallowing a Bic cigarette lighter. It is NOT courage; it is coming to your fucking senses after acting with no sense of self-preservation for years.

What old story about yourself are you still believing? This story is not the one that contains the objective facts of our lives. It’s “the story you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and how everything always plays out,” says psychiatrist and Harvard Medical School professor John Sharp. “If you want to change your life, it needs a re-edit.”

For Sharp, his parents divorced when he was young, and he says, “the false truth that I held to so dearly was that just . . . as I couldn’t be effective in keeping my parents together, I probably couldn’t be effective at much of anything else, and this left me feeling very insecure.”

I been telling for 5 years this one Trump voter that he needs to wear a filter mask when he is working around fiberglass and he needs to stop smoking to "clear his lungs" at break-time between working with fiberglass. I even bought filters and a mask. He wouldn't use them. Said he didn't need it. Now he has lung disease, cannot work, and in his forcefully expressed opinion it is not his fault. It is Obama's fault. Trump voters can't learn except from bad experience. And once they get the experience, they come to wrong conclusions. There is no gorram way for government to fix what wrong inside the head of Trump voters. They need to fix themselves.

I was speaking with a guy at the state fair who was at the republican both. I was to knowledgeable about the issues so he suggested I speak with his wife. When she came over it didn't take long for it to come out that their child had sever autism.

So I said, let me get this straight. Both of you are working hard to convince me to vote for people who would discontinue the very programs that helps you keep afloat? That helps to give your child a better life. I saw it in her face. It finally sunk in. Our conversation ended right there and then. Not sure but I think she is voting democratic now.

A great man once said "I've put those days behind me. But the bitter wisdom that one has been a fool is not without value."

I never said that I haven't done stupid things. I've done a GREAT deal of stupid things in my life.

Having wrestled with demons and come out alive on the other side, I have quite a lot of empathy for anybody who is struggling with any kind of addiction that is destroying themselves and hurting everyone who cares or used to care about them. I'd lost friends in the past to addictions as well, whether they're no longer with us now, or they're fixtures in the correctional system for the rest of their lives because of it.

Overcoming addiction is not merely about removing the act of consumption itself. It's facing all of the bad things you've done to yourself and others, accepting those consequences, fixing what you can and doing all of the above without stumbling and relapsing back into those addictions that were destroying yourself in the first place.

You'll notice that I've never once removed my posts here. Every drunken rant and mindless rambling I've ever made here is still available for perusal. Just ask T... He's threatened me on quite a few occasions to post them here again, and for a while there he would purposefully dig up threads for everyone to re-hash when my sobriety was in its infancy.

Let's just say, that you don't come off very brave right now with your callous and self-righteous dismissal of something which you luckily know nothing about.

So no... I will not let you steer this conversation off topic.

You are fully behind the idea of pumping everyone full of Lithium in our drinking water, even people who voted for Hillary, in order to ensure that Trump voters get their dose.

Yet on the exact same day you said that, in a different thread, you said that Americans were cowards because they don't start punching their bosses for pay raises.

Talk about sending mixed messages.

Nevermind the fact that most large companies don't even work that way anymore. Not that you'd know it, but when you work in retail all of the pay for non-salaried employees these days is handled by computer algorithms. We've got to be fair to everyone, so everybody starts at the same pay and gets the same raise, no matter how much or less harder they work than anybody else. Punching your boss in this case would accomplish nothing other than losing your shitty job and likely going to jail.

6ixStringJack, I’ve fired a hundred thousand bullets – some miss, but not most.

There is an article you should read. Read the whole thing, slowly, not just the title, before you shoot off your mouth or, once again, you will have missed the target.
The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution

es/580447/

There is paradox about humans. To get a boss to behave like a gentleman, the employees must be brutes with the boss when he misbehaves. But I have seen zero push-back against bad bosses by frightened, intimidated, and easily cowed American employees. The only employees that push-back are unionized. But unions are anathema to Republicans, which means Republicans have got no way to fight back against unfair company policies and a bad boss or CEO, other than beat him to death and hope his replacement has greater generosity and better behavior.

Wrong again. Some people here know me. Probably not many who still post here, but without giving away any details I'll just say that my brother was once a pretty important member of this site back in the day and knows quite a few of the old guard personally. I'm quite certain that I've put him in an embarrassing position once or twice with my past behavior here. He's a better man than you or I though, fortunately for me.

And as for missing, I rarely miss. Just because you or Marcos or any of our friends here who fear Putin like he's the big bad of the week don't agree with something I say doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I guess I'll just point out once again that I'm the only poster here who isn't a completely static character. I've improved my own life 1000% in the last two years. You'll note that I'm no longer bitching about any of the ills of the world as if they somehow effect me personally. They don't. I'm living a perfectly copacetic life. One would think with all that money you have that you'd have better stuff to do with your life than bitch every single day on a forum that has 8 regular posters left. Everyone else here bitches about the same old shit day in and day out. The only place that isn't a broken record in the RWED is the Garden and Rain thread.

Oh... and I'm also the only one here that has gone out of their way on more than one occasion to admit when I am wrong.

These ideas aren't terribly recent. But the author, in haste perhaps to be too 'gee whiz!' - didn't include the appropriate caveats. Genetics, and even evolutionary environment, aren't destiny. Sometimes a quirk of fate or some unknown factor intervenes.

For example, everyone knows that baboons are brutish and violent creatures. It's just the way they are. Until they're not. In Kenya in 1986, a self-selected group of violent dominant males cornered the beef meat in a dump, excluded the others, and pigged out. They then contracted bovine tuberculosis from that meat, and those males all died.

The violent culture did a 180, and peaceability persisted to at least 2006 (the last reference I found), despite the fact that adult males in a troop are always immigrants from other, normal, violent troops.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2004/04/kinder-gentler-baboon

There's also the bottlenose dolphins, whose global mating rituals are essentially gang rape - except for the genetically identical bottlenose dolphins of western Australia, whose courtship is one-on-one, tender, and gentle.

As long as enough offspring survive to themselves procreate, evolution doesn't seem to have a whole lot of interest in how that happens.

That said, there are a few things I think are ingrained in human response (not that we can't see past them, just that on the whole they determine the vast majority of human action)-
1) We are tribal, and that leads us to see solutions primarily through conflict with the others. I gave a hypothetical example many years ago of two identical villages near a river. Over time, the villages grow and grow, till easily accessed resources become scare. The answer, which will allow both villages to thrive indefinitely and peacefully into the future, is to each limit population growth. But under stress, it's been observed that human fertility increases and populations grow (and the opposite is true, which is called the demographic transition). I think of this population spurt as preparation for war. (Human fertility is unlike other animals, whose fertility and populations track with resources).
2) Concentrated resources easily dominated by a few lead to hierarchical behavior. Goodall observed this when she tried to temp common chimps into her clearing with piles of fruit. After taking copious notes of extreme dominant behavior for a number of months, it occurred to her that she never saw any of the mutual, sociable behavior that had been observed in the past. And she realized that tasty fruit piled up in one place never, ever occurs in nature. Tropical trees fruit at all times of year scattered through the forest, since they're not on a summer/ winter schedule. When she distributed the fruit more naturally, that behavior stopped.
That tracks pretty well with hunter-gatherer societies that have to move around to find food, and don't accumulate a lot of possessions (too hard to lug around!). They're egalitarian.

That said, there are flukes like the peaceable baboons and courtly dolphins that shouldn't exist given their genetic and evolutionary lineage. I don't think anyone has the answer to human nature, and what we're capable of.

There is something to say about tribalism. Those "alliances" can also prove to be fleeting.

I didn't give two shits about race or sex back in the early to late 2000's, and nobody else did either. I was much more liberal back then, although I was never a Democrat, just like I'm not a Republican today.

The loud vocal minority that runs the colleges and the MSM have let it be known loud and clear that I'm not welcome. I'm not about to cuck up and become an ally to people who voice their disapproval of my very existence.

Because we only have two parties in this shit show we call American Politics, that really only leaves me with one other option. But anybody here who bothers reading my posts on different topics could see that I'm still very much at odds with a lot of typical Republican ways of thinking.

It's a gymnastics movie where the gymnasts band together and pick who will win because they know who is the best candidate for the Olympics better than anyone. It'd be a lot healthier than everyone trying to stick a hand in the pot and coming up with nothing.

It'll never happen, tho.

They see blood wish. It's why so many are running.

Trump hits polling on Fox News: 'Something weird going on at Fox

President Trump on Monday dismissed a new poll from Fox News that showed him losing to multiple 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, saying "something weird" is happening at the network favored by conservatives.

U.S. Supreme Court spurns Virginia Republicans in racial gerrymandering case

WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed Republican legislators in Virginia a defeat, leaving in place a ruling that invalidated state electoral districts they drew because they weakened the clout of black voters in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Even CNN polling shows Trump winning if nothing serious changes.

Yup - polls don't mean sh*t. I thought we learned that in 2016. They just confirm that any MSM outlet that has a segment about them has nothing else to talk about. Embarrassing really.

Yup.

Which is why I said before that I don't know if somebody at FOX was trolling Trump or was trolling voters on either side with that poll.

It might have passed as somewhat believable if it showed only Biden winning by a small margin, but the tell that this is completely fake is that it shows Trump losing to Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris and Buttegieg.

A lot of the polls in the RCP aggregates for the Democratic Primary show that Sanders, Warren and Harris (or Buttegieg switched for 4th with Harris) combined don't have as many points as Biden. But this single joke of a FOX poll shows all 5 of them beating Trump.

Biden and Sanders have already been #MeToo'd, and that's only going to pick up as the primaries keep on. They're both also old white men, which is going to turn off a lot of Democratic voters who's identity politics are their driving force. Warren was already caught lying for decades about her race to break the glass ceiling, and if she was ever in serious contention for the pick that's going to come back to haunt her and Trump himself would destroy her in debates. I honestly don't know much about Harris or Buttegieg except for the fact that they do appeal to those voting for identity politics for purely superficial reasons (Harris = Minority Woman, Buttegieg = Gay Man). I don't think that will be enough for either of them to secure the Democratic Nomination, especially when it seems that the DNC is fully on board with Biden as their pick right now.

If you're going to believe any polling results, you have to at the very least take an aggregate from a place like RCP and never rely on a single poll that is telling you what you want to hear. Even then, the polling data was entirely incorrect in 2016.

I think that's a huge part of where we find ourselves today, and the anger that those who took it personally felt when their "side" lost. Would we have videos of people screaming and crying when the results came in if they hadn't been so blatantly lied to an entire year leading up to the election?

Sometimes Trump trashes polls. Sometimes he hypes them. Sometimes they’re the same poll.

There is no consistent metric by which he gauges his presidency other than cherry-picking metrics in which his presidency is seen in a favorable light.

A tactic he surely learned as a lifelong Democrat himself.

A tactic, which should also be mentioned, which propagated for years by the Liberal media in the run up to the election is how millions of Democrats found their spirits crushed in 2016.

A tactic which the Liberal media seems to be erroneously using again in 2020.

Me and the Captain might agree on virtually nothing, but at least he learned from the mistake of 2016 and isn't going to let that happen to him again. That in itself is the only evidence I've seen here that the lot of you aren't completely static NPC characters. The Captain is actually a human being. I'm not sure about the rest of you.

Anthony Scaramucci, a former White House communications director who has recently withdrawn his support for President Donald Trump, said Monday that he is putting together a coalition of former Trump Cabinet officials to denounce the President ahead of the 2020 election.

"I'm in the process of putting together a team of people that feel the exact same way that I do. This is not a 'Never Trump' situation. This not just screeching rhetoric. This is -- OK, the guy is unstable. Everyone inside knows it, everyone outside knows it. Let's see if we can find a viable alternative," Scaramucci told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."

I see this as Trump turning his own against him. I see as some perhaps are seeing, the coming tide of change. Perhaps the beginning of Trumps cronies wanting to distance themselves.

That said, I too have many images in my head of his white washing and deflecting from the truth about Trump. Way too many times for him to be creditably rehabilitated in my eyes.

Good they caught them. Throw them in the slammer and throw away the key. This should be considered Treason.

Then, after they do that, eliminate all early voting everywhere and eliminate the absentee ballot system completely.

Haley-Pence rivalry heats up as GOP weighs post-Trump future

When top Republicans convened at the St. Regis resort in Aspen, Colo. last month for an exclusive donor retreat, several attendees said there was palpable tension in the room as the gathering’s two headliners prepared to speak: Vice President Mike Pence and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley.

At a time when Republicans are starting to contemplate what their party will look like after Donald Trump leaves office, a rivalry has developed between the two politicians who cut markedly different profiles — and signs of strain are bubbling to the surface.
