Understandable, she ordered medium rare and it was served overcooked. The entire Ocama Police Dept volunteered to investigate the crime scene.

JFK was an infamous womanizer who had consensual affairs with likes of Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich. Would he need to bother with strippers? I doubt it.

You try too hard for humor, @Mutty. It wasn't really your calling in life. Give it up.

@Meathead, do you think you're teaching me anything? Your article is dated from 2019 and we've discussed this idiotic lawsuit several times on TUSCL. The logic of the lawsuit goes something like this: the penalty for the individual mandate was set to zero, but the ACA still has a mandate, technically, written into the law. Therefore the entire ACA is unconstitutional. If you think that sounds like nonsense -- that's because it *is* nonsense. This is going to the Supreme Court one final time *this month* and I guarantee the ACA will be upheld, even with the conservative balance in the present court. https://www.npr.org/2020/11/10/933462515/supreme-court-appears-likely-to-uphold-obamacare Your posts are a stream of unintelligible garbage, as usual, @Meathead.

@Meathead wrote: " It is why Obama care is deemed unconstitutional, because it forces people to make a purchase that they may or may not need." __________________________ If you're paying even the least bit of attention, the penalty for not having health insurance was set to zero in 2018 as part of the Trump tax bill. There's no longer a penalty for declining health insurance. No, the ACA wasn't "deemed unconstitutional." Before the individual mandate was zeroed out, John Roberts and the Supreme Court had ruled the individual mandate constitutional as a *tax* and the government can force you to pay a tax. @Meathead wrote: ".. but trashing yourself and destroying your health is a right too that should not be paid for by those who take care of themselves. " ____________________ That's profoundly stupid logic. Some health-conscience people fall ill with cancer while others who are reckless with preventative health live into their 90s. The point is, the ACA protects everyone who develops pre-existing conditions through no fault of their own. Under the old system, someone with cancer first went bankrupt and then died an awful death without health insurance. Before the ACA, 50M people could not buy insurance at any cost. @Meathead wrote: " The #s the socialist governments use are cherry picked to justify the high cost of taxing their people..." ____________________ WTF are you talking about? Socialist governments with universal healthcare like the UK, Canada, and Australia? The UK system is truly socialized medicine where MDs work for the government. In Canada, MDs work in private practice but the government is a single-payer and dictates prices.

Profound thread. That's the beauty of prostitution, @Warrior: you can pay for whomever you want (within legal restrictions, of course), even if you're old enough to be her grandpa. However, as a courtesy, I would be extra careful not to dick around with a middle-aged stripper who's trying to make a living.

It's a goofy stereotype propagated (mostly) by aging white men to fetishize Asian women.

"...most Jews are Dems?" ____ Yes, most American Jews are Dems -- about 71%. Orthodox Jews are the exception and they are 75%, Republican. But Orthodox Jews make up only about 10% of the US Jewish population. https://www.pewforum.org/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-political-views/#overall-u-s-jews-remain-largely-democratic-and-liberal

"Over the past 3 years, I have scored more 20-something year old pussy than any other 3 year time period in my life. " _________________ @Warrior, it's bad usage to say you "scored" a prostitute. Instead, you're paying to compensate for the 40-year age difference. Lol, only on TUSCL... *facepalm*

^^yes, mainstream scientists want to explore whether Covid leaked from the Wuhan lab. It's no longer a crackpot theory.

Good choice by DrPhil. Bowie, Heroes, Belin 2002: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsYp9q3QNaQ My choice? "Fragile" by Sting. Haunting melody, acoustic instrument, anti-violence, anti-war, theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB6a-iD6ZOY Also, an appropriate choice given the misery caused by a virus that measures about 100 nanometers. How fragile we are...

He's an actor, he's promoting his films to a very lucrative market. I think that makes him a capitalist. You have to be part of the Fox News crowd to get worked up into a hysterical frenzy over this.

"Why do people take the time to make this shit up?" __________________ I've never heard of Luc Montagnier, but after a little poking around it turns out he did win a Nobel Prize in medicine and he played a major role in the discovery of HIV. He's also known for using his platform as a Nobel Prize winner to spread batshit-crazy nonsense that angers other scientists. For example, he accused the Wuhan lab of creating Covid-19. It's no wonder Montagnier attracts the mentally unstable, like @DaveAnderson. Fact-checkers online are stating that Montagnier never made the two-year survival comment. Fringe science turns up in many areas from climate-science denial to epidemiology (e.g. "The Great Barrington Declaration").

@Cashman: "I saw an HIV medication commercial and the medication does not work for those assigned female at birth. Rather than saying it can’t be used by females, they had to be woke and use a full sentence to say female! Wtf?!" ______________ I disagree and this has nothing to do with "woke-ness." This is perhaps the only example in the entire thread where precise, unambiguous, language matters. For medical reasons; perhaps to avoid a lawsuit.

I mostly agree with ICEE. Arguing endlessly about the merits of using one set of pronouns over another just comes off as thinly veiled intolerance. Who cares?

@OSU- There's still a stockpile of 63 million unused doses of hydroxychloroquine -- more than enough for both you and @Mark93. I say forgo the vaccine and we'll give a Darwin award posthumously.

While I enjoy making fun of Mark as much as the next guy, the amazing thing is that something like 60% of Republicans still believe that Trump lost because of Democratic cheating: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/04/05/more-than-half-of-republicans-believe-voter-fraud-claims-and-most-still-support-trump-poll-finds/ The big lie is still festering. Like Birther nonsense it may never go away.

"This is no reason to deny pennies from heaven. " _____________ Reminds me of the 14 red states that still refuse federal Medicaid expansion money. It's downright cruel. Why? Because anything that smells like socialism is perceived as bad.

"Hiring strippers to come to your parties - cool. Hanging with Jeffery E, not cool." Yep!

I've always admired Gates for being super intelligent and a great philanthropist. He projects a kind of nerdy and asexual persona. Alas, that's not true and, in reality, he's as big a pervert as the rest of us. The WSJ is reporting that Melinda Gates filed for divorce a while back after learning about Bill's time spent with Jeffry Epstein -- which proves that he's closer to a perverted creep than a nerdy saint. Also demonstrates the axiom that all men with money cheat on their wives.

"there guns" Biden's trying to confiscate guns from the inbred and functionally illiterate. Seems like a good idea...

A site like this attracts all flavors of mental illness and in Dugan we have a malignant narcissist. Arguing with a hard-core narcissist is a waste of time since winning the argument is the only thing that matters -- not the actual content. I feel sorry for his kids who will grow up with this mess of a human being.

Bravo to the OP for having the courage to stand up to this kind of injustice! Not really. What a nutcase.

Glad you humiliated yourself, clown. The average investor trading in an IRA is not affected by the Biden capital gains tax.
