Not that I have any sympathy for Tinyhands.  Just saying that obvious October surprise is obvious.

The tax release was a non-event. It will neither help Biden nor hurt Trump.

Boru

Maybe so. Just saying that obvious timing is obvious.

Hunter Biden isn't running for office.

And it's unlikely that we will have to see him in a high paying White House position for which he has no qualifications or have to read inane tweets from him like Beavis and Butthead Trump.

You?

Breatharians testify that you can live comfortably without eating food.  If you're willing to accept their claims based on their anecdotes, then I'll reconsider the credibility of your anecdotal evidence regarding mutual fuckery.  Are you willing to never eat food again?

And the reason you don't believe them?
Because it goes against what you believe? After all - you have never TRIED their method? Have you scientifically disproven their outageous claims?
No? Why?
Because you don't have to disprove outageous claims.

I claim that all human beings are all pretty capable of being good or bad - REGARDLESS of any group affiliation.
Why does that strike you as an outrageous claim that needs proof?
To me becoming a better person by tacking an ( R ) or ( D ) after your name seems a pretty outrageous claim - as does the idea that all the good or bad peoole gravitate towards on party or the other.


Your reality may vary..

Because it's been debunked 

Quote:Because it goes against what you believe? After all 

No because it's been shown to be false 

Quote:- you have never TRIED their method? Have you scientifically disproven their outageous claims?

It's already been disproven 

Quote:No? Why?
Because you don't have to disprove outageous claims.

But someone did anyway 

Quote:I claim that all human beings are all pretty capable of being good or bad - REGARDLESS of any group affiliation.

A claim that's countered by the simple fact not all group are equal in badness and their are group that contain vastly more bad people then another . Not mention some groups are evil  by ideologically faint and their followers can only be regarded as bad by willful association with said group 

Quote:Why does that strike you as an outrageous claim that needs proof?

Because it's a fact not all groups are equally bad and it's a fact some groups have vastly more horrible people in them then others .Not mention some groups are evil ideologically faint and their followers can only be regarded as bad by willful association with said group

No it's not if the R or the D is associated with a group that holds evil idea's or has overwhelming number of bad people in it's ranks  . Then how could one be regarded as good by willingly associating and espousing the ideals of that group ?

Quote: - as does the idea that all the good or bad people gravitate towards on party or the other.

Nope if a party overwhelmingly comprised of bad people and holds to bad ideals .Then that party can be regarded as bad and vice versa .

Yours certainly does

For about as long as they were sure it was legal to produce them, ie once judgement came through that the SDNY could legally subpoena them. The main reason it took so long for them to become public was that Trump was fighting tooth and nail to supress their publication.

But - as all parties involved are of the same species - I expect to find the levels of fuckery to be pretty equal.

Democrats are homo sapiens. Republicans are homo sapiens lead by pit vipers [led by a particularly venal pit viper]

Yeah, I know Trump is a piece of shit.  I'm not defending him.  Just saying that the timing looks pretty suspicious.

But I don't believe the Bin Ladin story either.

The censorship of this by twitter and facebook is the bigger story.

No it's not .
