I invite you to make a substantive argument... but you are are clearly incapable.

You can prove me wrong.

do you still wear your mask, by the way?

Question for someone who tends libertarian. Why do you care if he wears a mask? Shouldn't you want him to be able to do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else? Since someone putting a small piece of fabric over their face affects you not at all, shouldn't your position be one of ambivalence?

I haven't worn a mask outside a healthcare setting in months but I don't judge anyone that wants to. Why should I care what they do?

Oh he is welcome to wear what he wants and I am welcome to endlessly mock him about it

The racist.dude.lectured me for days about essential masks were to stopping COVID.

He might as well wear clown makeup. It will be just as effective and more reflective of the IQ

Also I suppose I'll remind you that half the country mandated that I wear a.useless face diaper for over a year.

As a libertarian... That irked me just a bit

I think you should stick to your intellectual guns. You are of course free to mock him but doing so betrays the philosophical underpinnings of libertarianism. You should believe that he is the best person to make decisions for him and trying to consider your opinion of what he should do as superior to his is antithetical to true libertarianism.

I support your right to shoot up heroin but doesn't mean I won't judge you for your terrible decisions

You're one step away from being a Republican with that attitude. Judgement is one small step from intervention.

I honestly don't care what you do as long as it's not harming me or someone else. It's actually a wonderful relief to not care what other people do. You'll find yourself happier if you don't waste energy judging and mocking others.

You do bring up an interesting example with heroin. Drug use is complicated because while the use itself only harms the user, it can cause problems that harm others. Marijuana is an example of a drug I honestly don't care if someone uses. I would never use it but if someone finds it improves their life, good for them. But when you get into harder drugs the questions get tougher.

To go to the other extreme, look at meth. The use of meth drastically increases the likelihood the meth addict will turn to crime to feed their addiction. It's so heinously addictive that people will do anything to get their next fix. While it's use doesn't in and of itself harm others, the use leads to a far greater risk of harm to others. It's reckless behavior which I'm fine trying to combat. I do think addiction needs to be treated like a mental illness rather than a crime though. I think we'd be better off locking meth users into rehab facilities than into jail.

Sorry... But after years of useless mandates I will very loudly mock the idiots who pushed for them.

I actually love it when I see people wearing masks though bc I immediately can identify them as a stupid person.

We haven't had a visual IQ test like that in my lifetime

We hope that watching the GOP double down in their shameless support

of Herschel Walker without even addressing the specifics of what

he is accused of, leads to new people coming forward against him

- like the woman whose abortion he paid for.
 
I still admire the way Hershel has discussed his mental health challenges. The rest we can all do without.

I still need to understand from a leftist why they think paying for an abortion is a very bad thing to do

I thought they thought abortion was great?
 
Why voters in Georgia picked this dude to be their candidate is beyond me. A CTE riddled, self-described moron, with skeletons bursting out of his closet? Was there really not a better ****ing candidate than this guy?

This cat and the clown doctor running in PA are going to be the reason (D) retains control of the Senate.

Dems flooded him with money because they believed him to be easier to beat*
He was very honest about all this in person.

Gary black has a great track record and a much better candidate though.

* a practice condemned by one person here, but not in this instance lol

Georgia Republican Primary

Hershel 68%
Black 13%

If the Dems spent a dime trying to influence this race I'd say it would have been stupid and wasteful on their part rather than cynical or dangerous. The results were baked well ahead of the primary election.

But I agree that the people of Georgia (and the country as a whole) would have been better served with having a better choice emerging from the GOP primary.

Looks like he's gonna run out of bounds before reaching the end zone. Walter Payton would never have done that. Just sayin.
 
what boggles the mind ?
I've been called a baby killer here for years for alowing a woman the choice. Never been a partner in an abortion have no immediate family members that have had abortions and philosophicly /personally opposed to abortion yet
Herschel gets politically rationalized after funding an abortion .

Again the problem isn't Trump or DeSantis or Walker.or even Rand Paul to name a few.
The problem is the people knowing who these people are still carrying water and even worse voting them into postions of responsibility.

I was of the few that recognized in real time HRC labeled them spot on.
