"Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them." - Thomas Sowell

"The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his 'basic rights.'" - Thomas Sowell

"Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to help." - Thomas Sowell

"The vision of the left, full of envy and resentment, takes its worst toll on those at the bottom — whether black or white — who find in that paranoid vision an excuse for counterproductive and ultimately self-destructive attitudes and behavior." - Thomas Sowell

"No government of the left has done as much for the poor as capitalism has. Even when it comes to the redistribution of income, the left talks the talk but the free market walks the walk. What do the poor most need? They need to stop being poor. And how can that be done, on a mass scale, except by an economy that creates vastly more wealth? Yet the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it." - Thomas Sowell

"Entrepreneurial profit is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production." - Joseph A. Schumpeter

"The whole political vision of the left, including socialism and communism, has failed by virtually every empirical test, in countries all around the world. But this has only led leftist intellectuals to evade and denigrate empirical evidence." - Thomas Sowell

"Facts are not liberals' strong suit. Rhetoric is." - Thomas Sowell

"History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition." - Milton Friedman

"So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system." - Milton Friedman

"No one can really understand the political left without understanding that they are about making themselves feel superior, however much they may talk piously about what they are going to do to help others." - Thomas Sowell

"All the political angst and moral melodrama about getting 'the rich' to pay 'their fair share' is part of a big charade. This is not about economics, it is about politics." - Thomas Sowell

"Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government." - Thomas Sowell

"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." - Thomas Sowell

"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling." - Thomas Sowell

"A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both." - Milton Friedman

"The political left has never understood that, if you give the government enough power to create ‘social justice,’ you have given it enough power to create despotism. Millions of people around the world have paid with their lives for overlooking that simple fact.” - Thomas Sowell

"That people on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred." - Thomas Sowell

"Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated. Darwinian adaptation to environment applies not only to nature but also to society.

@gammanu - you're deluding yourself if you think it's about Russia and China and Islam. Russia believes itself the messenger of the true Christianity via the Orthodox Church (whom Putin has used to keep power). Palestinians (Sunni) and Iranians (Shia) aren't big fans of each other's religions. We supported the mujahideen even knowing about their malignant strain of Islam. These fuckers care about power above all, not religion. That's for the little guy.

You make his point again "Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them — instead of answering their arguments." - Thomas Sowell

@OP - "I even see some with shaved sides of head and tatoos on their faces now." Man, nothing like those (especially the half shaved head) to make me limp as a wet noodle. @Freesample - the apps have made dating and gender relations go to shit, but only partially for what you talked about. Yeah, the top guys get most of the women. I'd consider myself top half but not top 5%, and I still had a vigorous dating life (which I'm taking a break from right now to focus on other shit). Problem is, any woman gets so much attention she starts to think she's Helen of Troy. They demand you CashApp them $50 just to talk to them, or won't go out on a first date to anywhere lower than Capital Grille, or demand you buy them everything they need to get dolled up--makeup, a new outfit, new shoes, meals and babysitting for their kids. Meanwhile they have a face that looks like an unwiped asshole and have 5 kids from 3 different dads. I wasn't scoring every night (nor wanting to) but I was dating high quality women. I like good girls, professionals, nurses, from good families, not mattressbacks. And I was fine with it. I go to clubs for the bad girls. In and out, no connection, no partaking of their fucked up lives.

Very episodic. Twice a week for a month, then not at all for 6 months. I'm on a nearly year-long hiatus but taking a buddy who's just out of jail clubbing in 3 weeks.

A lot of what you mentioned is human interaction and sociability dying out. Strip clubs will come and go. Prostitution will endure.

Depends on the club, depends on the girl. I'm not a big trap fan but too many fond memories of clubbing with one of my best friends in ATL getting dances to Gucci Mane. Just none of the overdone, stereotypical songs.

"No one can really understand the political left without understanding that they are about making themselves feel superior, however much they may talk piously about what they are going to do to help others." -Thomas Sowell

Plenty of extras factories like Pleasant Moments operating in the open, even after being busted for pimping illegals who've had their passports taken. Nothing happens unless city hall gets their cut!

^ No one hates you, we all just hold you in contempt.

^ Yeah we all wish we were as autistic as you

^ And has definitely taken some nonconsensual photos

I'm shocked...shocked, I tell you! Goes to show you, if the mayor and police chief don't get their cut, there's hell to pay.

"You cannot equate anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism." @gammanu - it isn't that anti-Zionism is NECESSARILY anti-Semitic, it's that most of it is. Yeah, Israel needs to stop bulldozing Palestinian settlements in the West Bank, and that won't happen because Bibi is beholden to the far-right (including outright Jewish supremacists) for his coalition). But the Palestinians themselves? One of the most fucked up, detestable cultures on Earth. 3/4 support Hamas and 10/7. They pay the families of martyrs well over the average monthly salary. They reward murders of Israelis, and teach kids language with UN-subsidized textbooks that glorify martyrdom and killing Israelis. And as part of negotiations, they want these criminal cocksuckers released. They have been offered their state, 95% of their land under Arafat before they backed out. If you believe Hamas' casualty figures, you're a first class retard. LOL did you see even the UN's casualty figures mysteriously cut in half? If this were a "genocide" you wouldn't see the Palestinian population growing faster than the Israeli population. The IDF takes great pains to avoid civilian casualties and by independent analysts, are damn good at it; we weren't dropping "door-knockers" in Mosul, for one. If this were a "genocide," Palestine would be radioactive glass and dust. Jew-hating cunt Rashida Tlaib was lying when she said "from the river to the sea" is a cry for coexistence. In Arabic, it's "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be ARAB." Tolerance, my left testicle. I love watching these "queers for Palestine" when they'd get their gender-bending asses tossed off skyscrapers, against the most LGBTQ-tolerant country in the region. Until the Palestinians kick Hamas out, unfuck themselves, and show themselves to act like a civilized people, may they meet the fate of all the enemies of human progress and civilization.

I think it's less necessary with most of the freakshows gone.

Gross. They almost look like dicks.

@25 - wish I could click a like. I remember at the Charlottesville rally some of the alt right folks said Russia is our friend. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I don't think they're half the threat China is but I'm sure they're cooperating with them as well as Iran, NK etc

Amen to all above. We need one simple, easy format There's a reason Google doesn't update their search interface every few weeks.

@Book Guy - you raise an interesting point about the indigenous. I mention it because it's the left's woody for "decolonization" that puts the word on our national consciousness. For me, there is no time worth trying to system restore the world to. Arabs seem to think we need to clock the world back to 1948, that the region was all living in peace like the natives in Avatar. So the one time that matters is NOW. But beyond that is the fact that Palestinians cannot play well in the sandbox with anyone. I'm pro Israel because I'll support the best democracy in that area, but not Jewish so I don't have a dog in the fight. I'd love to see the Palestinians get their own state but only if it just won't be used as a launch pad for more rockets and pogroms. And right now that's what I think it would be.

LOL. I think you were a few more cuss words from making your nonsense into a point. 1. The UN is a joke, full of corruption and graft. Dubya going into Iraq proved how impotent they are. 2. I don't think you know what a "genocide" is. Since the "nakba," the Palestinian population has grown eightfold, and faster than Israel. 3. Half of history is groups taking over, enslaving, and killing others. Which indigenous get the land? Only the ones the white man killed? Or the natives who killed the natives before them? Somehow only western civilization gets held accountable for historical wrongs. 4. The Jews go back 4,000 years on that land, well before Arabs or Islam. They are the "indigenous" to Israel. 5. Terrorist activities exist because Palestinians pimped themselves out to everyone for terrorist activities (including Iran which hates the Arabs), and their international aid goes to building rockets and terror tunnels. Their culture of death is one of the worst on earth. Israel doesn't want to rule them. According to the most reliable polling, the Palestinians approve of Hamas and 10/7. If they were to un-fuck themselves and act civilized, they would be treated as such. Until then, I shed no tears. 6. They could end Israel's operation right now if they were to release the hostages. But they won't. 7. No, before you knock down a straw man, this doesn't mean I support everything Israel does. The building of settlements in the West Bank has to stop, and it won't as long as Netanyahu needs the far right to form a coalition. That's a problem.

Yaaaawwwn

I don't have one nearby, but I hope it's better than Hooters is for food. Hooters' food is shit, the girls aren't even that hot. Only redeeming value is that they reliably broadcast UFC and WWE.

Sounds like a decent business model. Better than trans night. I'm not a foot guy but you do you, man, I won't kink shame.

Was it Maya? She's the best. My favorite non extras dancer ever.

We need a tag team wrestling match...Gammanu and Mate vs Skibum and 25.

I don't think that study was well designed. "Speed friending" doesn't give real friendships, only a superficial first impression. I have friends with similar tastes and friends with different tastes. Strip clubbing is a different environment, but I've had great dances (though not extras) with girls then passed them along to my friend. Then again, even if hormones are running hot, I know I'm a customer and a girl is only interested in either of us as far as we fill her wallet.

Oh God, can you please take your little feud to PMs?

Say your l your looking for a Hugh Jackman, Billy Joel, or Frank Sinatra. They'll think you're so clever, and if they're undercover cops, they won't be able to nail you.

Glad you're getting better. If you're well enough the weekend of the 7th, I'll be in the ATL clubs...a few dances on me if we meet.

@PAWG - Club Blaze is aptly named.

Which Venus is this? I remember one during COVID who was cute, tall, brunette, and a bit gothy but she said she was about to move to Seattle. The Brazilian Melissa is a well known ROB but no recent reviewer has reported seeing her in a long time. Tall, black hair, hot, but horrible breast implant scars. One review said she continued upselling in the VIP, another said she gave a $25 topless lap dance then demanded $80(!!!) and raised a ruckus when he refused.

Is there a reason we can't up or down vote anymore? Or is that going to be restored? @founder - whenever you roll out a big update, it helps to give a summary of what's changed. I like the look but it seems like a lot of functionality is gone.

@gammanu, surprised we haven't heard about it already. I think the rebrand was an attempt to revitalize an organization that's been on the decline for some time. It will go about as well as you think.

Vapid quotes are the midwit's imitation of intelligence and literacy.

@Gammanu nailed it. If Trump were to vanish in a puff of smoke, the principles of MAGA would still be ascendant... focusing on the well being of America rather than its status among nations and international organizations who resent us... economic growth over redistribution... strength abroad with relative non intervention...a leaner government (though Trump didn't go as far with it as I'd have liked)... law and order over democratic chaos and urban blight. Trump is a highly flawed avatar of it. But not the only one. DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Vance, and many others will take the banner forward in 28.

Glad one of the regulars here calls out ROBs. Too many of the faithful treat this place like out can do no wrong.

Lol @Bono. I was wondering if he was popping off at the mouth again or if that was a typo. My closest Israeli friend is conservative but hates Bibi. Says Bibi has no principles beyond the acquisition of power. Says Naftali Bennett is his guy. I don't know internal Israeli politics well but I trust his judgment.

^ "You know he’s full of shit when telling us he works 40-60 hours weekly, whenever he blows hours daily each day being our resident foghorn leghorn blowhard." Uh, you trolled 25 and Skibum out of the blue here to start shit...

#bait

^ I'm a republican but rounding up and deporting illegals is only slightly less feasible than confiscating guns. Republicans are only for voter suppression of illegals, double voters, and the dead. Even in the supposedly repressive state of Georgia, voting increased after the "suppressive" measures. Minorities can get an ID just like anyone else.

LOL OP Palestinians there for thousands of years??? Jews were there for 2500 years before Islam existed. Even Yasser Arafat said there is no "Palestinian people," just a bunch of Arabs that are too terrorist for any other Arab country to want. Arabs enjoy more rights in Israel than Jews do in the rest of the Arab world. Hell, most of Israel is Mizrahi Jews forced out of the rest of the Arab world. Anyone who believes Hamas casualty figures is a first class dope. They've been caught smoothing their numbers so badly they claim record numbers of casualties on days no major battles have been fought, and they claim people shuttling fighters and weapons as "civilians." And for anyone who says Israel is committing genocide, why is the Palestinian population 8 times what it was at the time of the "nakba"? If Israel wanted to fuck shit up in Gaza there would be no humanitarian catastrophe because there would be no humans left. Fuck Hamas and its supporters, which are 3/4 of Palestinians.

@25 - I wasn't alive in 1965 but I imagine people weren't talking shit on the internet that they'd never say to someone's face. I wasn't referring to you as I know you've met members in real life.

Talking tough on the internet is sooooo 1990s. Kind of like these student protesters who talk tough about killing Zionists but if confronted by an off duty IDF soldier, would offer to eat their asshole to avoid the beat down coming.

I prefer when they spit on my dick (SOD)

On Noem, remember how the media tore into Romney for putting the dog in a carrier on the roof for a road trip. Actually killing one? That's beyond the pale for a lot of voters. Seriously enough don't have an issue with abortion but kill a dog and that's beyond the pale. VPs don't carry the weight that they used to but his choice of Pence to bring evangelicals into the fold was smart.

I don't know the electoral vote rules but I'd love DeSantis. His pick of Pence was cagey, the known playboy and cad to assuage the evangelical base. I think he'll go with Tim Scott, the temperamental foil and another way to remind Democrats that blacks, especially black men, are not their property, or Glenn Youngkin, a competent governor who could put Virginia in play.

^ Did those deals come with a jar of Vaseline? The message is that it pays to threaten Jews, and the administration will acquiesce.

These clowns are cosplaying at revolutionaries. You see the he/she/they freak who talked about killing Zionists? If he had the courage of his convictions, he'd head to the Middle East and pick up a rifle. Instead, he knows that Hamas themselves would push him off a 10 story building if he acted gay there. Even Ilhan Omar's daughter acted shocked and shaken to find out there are consequences for her actions.

Your mother.

^ OK now you're just trolling.

CJ just needs to admit he wants to swallow Trump’s orange mushroom

@manuel - good to know. I'm on an extended strip club break but it's comforting to know some things haven't changed.

#bait

Only skibum would find a way to work the pre-roll in there.

@ilbbaincl, you spend way too much time on that site, or looking at bizarre anime porn in general. Do you creep on cosplay girls at Comic-con?

#bait

Keep your head on a swivel and don't let anyone get too close. Square up to them and greet them so they know you see them.

^ Send him some naughty nurses

Get well soon, shadowcat. Hope to see you when I make it to the A.

Smash but not with great enthusiasm. Not my normal type.

@Muddy - why didn't he at least pronounce if fah-GOH, like French?

Are extras available here?

@25 - my closest Jewish friend told me if you want to convert to Judaism they have to deny you three times. I guess to make sure you REALLY want to do it...

Bridgeport? All kinds of Latinas at Pleasant Moments, though it sounds like it's gone (pun intended) tits up since I was last there.

^ lol that sounds like gonorrhea. Ex pitching coach named Dick Pole.

^ Not equivalent. I don't see Christians or Jews saying convert or die, kill those who insult their religion. Before we talk about ancient history, we're not living in medieval England. Funny thing is for all the protesters talk about colonialism and indigenous people, the Jews are the oldest extant people in Israel/Palestine. They were there 2600 years before Islam came into being

Oh and I saw a couple vasectomy surgeons named Dr. Dick Chopp and Dr. Les Wang.

But yes, gamma, militant atheistic communism has a bloodied track record than any other in the 20th century.

@25 - forgive me for not memorizing our PMs, particularly after my hiatus and deleting that account. You could insult my mother or sister and I'd just yawn. Really, i don't know your daughter. Grow a thicker skin. That said I apologize, I didn't mean any harm by it other then smacking you for flaming what was an intelligent discussion with a different board member. @gammanu - I'm not lumping in all Muslims, but it wouldn't be honest to deny that Islam has a serious problem in the modern day. Whatever Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Shintoism, Norse paganism did back in the day is only for context. Religion X is as religion X does. I know plenty of Muslims who have adapted to modern American society, lots of doctors she engineers, but I can't be blind to what Muslim immigration has done in Europe, particularly the UK and Sweden. Every minority religion in a Muslim state seems to have a very rough go of it. And they seem to live over the delusion that Palestinians lived in uncontested peace and harmony until the evil Jews came in 1948, which just isn't true.

Oh and @twentyfive, as far as your daughter, I didn't see that as any more than a yo momma joke (man those must have really triggered you as a child). Didn't know you even had one.

"You take a look back on this thread and take note, I didn't bring up that little turd," @twentyfive- you called me stupid based on saying I liked one thing your rival here said. I can be pretty civil when my name is kept out of your mouth. You might want to take a long look in the mirror and see why you, not skibum or gammanu or mate, or me, seems to get into flame wars with everyone else here.

@studme - you have no idea how correct you are. I've known that type so well. With a single digit % of exceptions, like i mentioned, their only demonstrated competency has been pleasing authority figures, who in turn tell them they're humanity's great hope. And for such smart people, they're driven by their feelings not their brains. But what might be even more damaging is that a lot of these kids are trust fund babies for whom daddy's or mommy's money or power has bailed them out of dumb decisions or even jail. They have never faced the consequences of their actions. Like Ilhan Omar whose daughter is just now realizing that her actions at the protest are just not cricket in polite society. Put that together and you get a toxic cauldron of useful idiots for Hamas and Hezbollah to work with. Oh and @gammanu, speaking of people who hate capitalism, is it a surprise that the biggest capitalism hater here, CJKent, is an academic with family money? Go figure...

^ most of what you say, but there is no equivalence in 2024

@gammanu "While you are correct about the history of Islam, there are equal atrocities and horrors in the histories of Christianity and Judaism (the Spanish Inquisition, the scouring and murder of Jesus Christ)." Whatever has happened in the distant past, we live in 2024. I'm not seeing atrocities these days in the same of putting all people under Christian or Jewish rule. I'm not seeing rallies in the west saying "massacre those who insult Buddhism" or "hang those who insult Jesus." It seems like just about every religious conflict in this world involves one religion trying to impose itself on others. One religion that far and away commits the most religiously motivated terrorism. One religion that, once it gets a majority anywhere, tries to squelch the practice of any others. One religion that has spread by force more than any other in the last 1500 years. What religion is that? Islam. I agree with most of what you say

"as far as I’m concerned any credibility you give him is just plain stupid." This look familiar? Don't pull me into your arguments if you don't want me to fire back. Is your life that boring that starting shit here is your main hobby?

^ Keep it in PMs then

^ You two need to give in and just suck each other's ballsacks already.

^ You two have fun with your little spat. I'll look at facts.

^ Try dissociating yourself from your little feud and you'll see his point about the Obama administration glossing over Islamic terrorism. That trans shooter in Nashville had a manifesto about killing white privileged kids but somehow I've only heard crickets about hate crimes.

@25 - gammanu actually had some good points in there, about how Obama administration downplayed some major Islamic terrorism incidents as "workplace violence" or "gun violence." We saw the feds do that at the Christian school shot up by a trans shooter in Nashville. All of sudden they don't release the manifesto??? If that's an anti black shooter that manifesto goes everywhere before the blood dries. @ilbbaicnl - "dishonorable policing" is way the fuck overstated as a threat. An unarmed young black male is several orders of magnitude more likely to be killed by another young black male than a cop. @ikmowbetter - agree, I have plenty of Muslim friends, I do service with local Muslims regularly, but they still can't comprehend why many are afraid of them. I don't hear Jesus is Lord or Adonai Echod or Namu Myoho Renge Kyo before bullets and bombs start flying.

Smash but slight butterface

I'm with 5footguy, I thought it might be some fat fetish club stripper. Not the actual marine mammal.

@twentyfive- it's hard to tell because the bonnets and ankle length dresses make even 16 year olds look like uptight old biddies. They do make good food though, and are allowed to use electricity outside their homes. Fresh ingredients, free of the factory farmed crap. Good friend used to live in Amish country in Ohio and we always ate well. The prohibitions are more cultural than religious, but in some devout communities of any faith, the line gets blurred.

@twentyfive - they have that but don't typically go THAT wild. Some of them just live like typical non Amish, though still going to church. A few go completely wild, getting drunk and screwing around, but Naomi is atypical. Speaking of which, she's south of average to me. Misshapen face, body not special. I've never seen an attractive Amish woman. But if she played to some guys' fantasy of balling an Amish girl, peeling off a bonnet and long dress, I'm sure she could rake it in as "exotic."

Want extras, go alone. Don't, 1-2 TRUSTED friends max Strip clubs suck for bachelor parties

@From978 -I think it's about swing state Muslim votes, not campus radicals

@goldmonger - just wait until he finds out that, thanks to Biden, student loans are undischargeable in bankruptcy.

The obnoxiousness is the point. These kids have been told their whole lives how amazing and special they are, when they've only learned the skill of pleasing authority figures, many of whom are aging radicals themselves. Now, free of the civilizing influence of parents who had to pay a mortgage or raise children, they are moldable clay in the hands of professors who are similarly isolated from the real world. These students spout nonsense like queers for Palestine, when these green haired, half shaved idiots would get imprisoned or hanged in Gaza for it. They are ungrateful for what western civilization and capitalism have provided them, so they denigrate them at every opportunity. This won't stop them from begging for capitalists to pay off their loans when they major in something useless and can't get a job.

^ Karma

Uh, CJ, you're the one posting face and body shots of Figueroa Street hookers that look like you took them without their knowing. You talking about protecting identity is a laugh and a half.

Democrat-run big cities = shit holes

You can barely see any of her.

@venroc, wasn't me, that was @wisetoo. Never heard of that, but in my experience clubs with big signs that say "no touching" are covering their ass and at least a few girls there will give extras.

^ Love that detail!

It really depends on the city more than that state, and who greased palms at city hall.

^ That's OK. Just tell us in the comments. I like redhead Jennifer but want to know the full lineup.

Pass. Too skinny, looks a little like jailbait.

More details please. Who else was there and how hot were they?

Go figure, an academic who inherited money hates capitalism. "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." - Thomas Sowell, eminent black economist

She isn't even hot. Face looks like a man's. I wouldn't pay $200 to have sex with her. OnlyFans is one of the great causes of GPS these days.

Do these girls know you're surreptitiously videoing them? You're a creep. Get help.

#bait

They're service providers, similar to my mechanic or barber, with the key difference that their service is to grind on me or get me off. That forces them to decouple real feelings from sexual acts, and that builds a big cognitive dissonance. This profession also attracts the hot but bitchy, manipulative (used to using T&A to get their way in other transactions), or resentful, and often with adverse sexual experiences in the past. I would say 75% actively dislike you, 20% are lukewarm or see you as just a means to an end, and 5% actually like you as a person.

Which is why I don't see the point of going to 99% of strip clubs where I won't get my dick sucked.

I like them thicc, but this place has lost a few ticks in terms of girls, value, and mileage. Yet one other reason I'm on an extended strip club hiatus.

My $15 pair of flip flops I've had 25 years that is comfortable enough to walk miles in. Until recently I had a $10 checked blazer from a thrift store that almost always got compliments and got me a ton of tail. Lasted me 20 years. And of course, my beloved cat (who was rubbing up against me while I was thinking of my screen name).

@gammanu - Wasn't feeling at all attacked. Just wanted to elaborate.

@gammanu, I'm far from stereotyping an entire religion, I do a lot of volunteer work at a local mosque and have more Muslim friends than the norm. But any observer can see widespread problems within Muslim societies that aren't in others. The Muslim world seems like a uniquely shitty place in the world to be female or LGBTQ, less tolerant of other religions than others (seems like most major religious conflicts in the world involve Islam on at least one side, usually forcing its norms on others), the only religion whose people become, glorify, and even subsidize suicide bombers. The Palestinian culture might be the worst of the worst. Call me a reactionary pig but I don't believe all cultures have equal worth. People yes, cultures no. Was the 1940s American culture equal to that of Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia or Imperial Japan's? Why is 23% of the world's population Muslim but has had only 12 Nobel laureates, but 0.2% of the world's population is Jewish and has 193 Nobel laureates? Why is Israel a multi-ethnic liberal democracy head and shoulders more tolerant and prosperous than its neighbors? I'm neither Jewish nor Muslim but there is no equivalence between the cultures of Israel and its Muslim neighbors.

"@PT so you're going to put quotes around half a sentence?" > Yes, when I don't want to paste a giant block of text and that half sentence conveys the meaning. Anyone can look at the post I'm responding to and see the full sentence. "When, from watching Fox News (and apparently little else) you think you know better than a kid's parents and doctor, that's a very sad and sick dream world." > HAHAHAHAHA that's a fucking howler, man. For one, I don't watch Fox News, or any TV news period. For another, if you followed the issue, you'd see it was a social contagion that happens in clusters, and that retrograde conservative UK and Finland are realizing fostering kids' gender confusion and chemically sterilizing them was a horrible idea. That these kids are as mentally fucked up (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, ADHD) after getting mutilated than before. > If someone wanted to cut off their legs because they felt like an amputee (look up apotemnophila) or their eyes because they wanted to be blind (yes it happens), we'd properly look at them like they had a dick growing out of their forehead. Yet if we don't want to cut off penises, testicles, and breasts, we're bigots. > It's "affirming" to give an anorexic a gastric bypass; it also doesn't make it ethical. "Some of the kids will have regrets as adults. Bound to happen, whether the treatment is allowed or blocked." > "First, do no harm" ring a bell? "Does Trump have the Proud Boys on standby to unify us all?" > Who is digging their fingers into racial wounds, and telling black people they have a right to reparations from anyone else, due to what happened 160 years ago? (Coates, Kendi, and the left) Who is telling people that black people who don't toe their party line aren't truly black? (Joe Biden, Ayanna Presley, among others) Who called trans rights the civil rights issue of our day, despite the Dems not acknowledging their existence until a few years ago? (Biden) Who believes America is a fundamentally evil place that needs to be transformed? (The left). Who believes we are racist if we don't allow illegal immigrants, including gangsters, criminals, and terrorists? (The left). There is no honestly equating a few bad actors to that. "Now they have blind faith Trump can lower prices and interest rates. Maybe the second time's the charm." > No one with any economic knowledge thinks Trump will lower prices or interest rates. We just want it to stop getting worse. Trump wasn't particularly effective in enacting his agenda, and is likely to be less so in his second term, as second term presidents tend to be. I would have preferred someone like DeSantis who doesn't have charisma but gets things done.

"@PT so you support Trump, just none of his policies?" No, I've given many examples of policies I've disagreed with, but I agree with more than I disagree with. In an ordinary election cycle like 2016 or 2020 I wouldn't (and didn't) vote for him, because he's a narcissistic asshole. This year, the Dems have become so odious that I'll happily vote for Trump, even in a state where it doesn't matter. "Trump's "Remain In Mexico" policy was questionably legal." How so? Border security is not negotiable. Numerous agents have come out and said how low the morale is, how Dems have accused them of whipping migrants and tied their hands. Oh and please don't pretend that "bill to increase resources for border security" was anything other than a campaign stunt to try (and fail) to take the issue away from Republicans. It would have given legal blessing to current levels of immigration. It says something that Americans STILL prefer Trump on the border by a commanding margin. "I leave it to you to decide who would be the best President in your dream world." I guess my "dream world" is one where the American people aren't getting divided and played against each other, inflation stays at 2% or below, we aren't getting constantly tested abroad, mentally ill children aren't getting chemically and surgically fucked up, we aren't letting in massive numbers of unvetted illegals, and the Democratic party isn't embracing street crime and prosecuting lawful self-defense. Based on Biden's approval rating, America wants that "dream world" too. If anyone other than Trump were running, they'd wipe the floor with Biden.

@ron, thank you for taking a more measured tone. Biden’s rescue plan made inflation worse but the economy better | https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-p… > I would argue that there is no way to "make inflation worse but the economy better." If he's talking about GDP, that's not a stat that matters to the average American. It and unemployment do not filter down, particularly to the lower classes, the same way as inflation and wages do. That's what they care about. The rest is the administration whinging that those goddamn poors don't appreciate their betters. What's odd to me is that you see only the American Rescue Plan, when the reality is there were several large COVID aid packages, most of them under Trump (whom you do not seem hold to account in the slightest.) > Number one, the timing. It's a straight-up hockey stick. Number two, regardless of who actually "caused" inflation, there is better justification for Trump's spending than Biden's. The heart of COVID was extremely deflationary. If we didn't spend then, the shit might have really hit the fan. Once we had Trump's spending in place, why did Biden add to it? Particularly for something as unrelated to economic recovery as green tax credits, which largely accrue to the upper class that can actually afford that new Tesla? So yes, that's why I hammer Biden a lot harder than Trump on inflation, even if Trump spent more and contributed to inflation himself. My personal opinion is that there was probably *some amount* of COVID aid and stimulus deficit spending was necessary, even if it meant paying the inflation price later. I think we overshot the mark, but fortunately not as bad as many of our international friends (where inflation has been worse). > It's true that we aren't as bad as a lot of other countries, but just because someone fucked up worse, doesn't mean you didn't. I think some of the spending was particularly odious, especially the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), whose loan forgiveness provisions made it effectively a cash transfer to business owners/shareholders. > Agree. The money train disproportionately accrues towards the rich and well-connected. That seems to be a theme of most government spending, the poor take it up the tailpipe. You talked earlier about the wealthy paying their fare share, the PPP was basically just giving the wealthy money. But this was legislation signed by Trump, not Biden. > I don't agree with everything Trump did. He fucked up a lot of things related to COVID. I said earlier I didn't like his tax cuts. I'm duly afraid of the national debt in a rising interest rate environment, and after the last inflation readings, I'm only more paranoid. > And I should mention I hate the term "fair share." Fuck, Ron, I hate the word "fair" in general, which is one of the great loser words of the English language. Fair according to whom? Bernie Sanders, and his fans who keep inventing a right to other people's money and labor? The extreme libertarians who think the only fair tax amount is zero? My definition of "fair" is enough to balance the budget for a government that fulfills its necessary functions, and not more than that.

@ilbbaicnl, It's hard to see Trump as a mastermind behind a concerted effort to overthrow the country when the effort that actually occurred was comical. Did you see those clowns? Taking selfies, stealing podiums? He would have to be a thousand times as incompetent as rallying those "insurrectionists" as backing up the Keystone Kops Capitol Police. None of that says he ever intended to endanger American democracy, particularly not with the prodigious resources Trump had at his command (both public and from his own cash). Where I do see the pattern is in the numerous "get Trump" lawsuits out there, including DAs actively campaigning on getting Trump, crime to be named later. THAT is a bigger threat to democracy than one asshole, even as big of one as Trump. I thought I said this elsewhere on the thread, but I'll repeat myself...I never said we wanted to roll prices back to 2020. I agree that creates greater problems. But how far back can we assign blame? How delayed is the impact? The years and years of zero interest rates might have some blame, but why wouldn't they take effect for 5 years? (Recall rates were getting ratcheted up under Trump--which makes that growth even more impressive!) I thought we kept interest rates low for too long, and did not like Trump's tax cuts (which are also inflationary) but neither Obama nor Trump were so beset by inflation. Why would that powder keg suddenly go off in 2021? Moreover, why did the timing coincide so well with the American Rescue Plan, giving more money to chase fewer goods due to the supply chain crisis? The Biden administration clowns itself whenever it tries to rationalize it...first it's transitory, then it's no big deal, then it's Putin's fault, then it's actually a good thing...I've lost count of their shitass excuses. It's everything except them, when they've enacted inflationary policies left and right. I'm not buying the "voter suppression" line. It's 99% anecdotes, and in fact the states where it's being claimed (like Georgia), we're actually seeing MORE turnout than in the past. Gerrymandering is a state thing, not a Trump thing, and happens in each state where one party holds primacy. It's gone back centuries. It was Bill Gates more than Bill Clinton that generated the late-90s boom. Clinton balanced the budget with Gingrich and got a lot done, but more than anything was in the right place at the right time. Trump "finding votes," well, didn't Al Gore try to do that? Or Jesse Jackson claiming the Ohio 2004 vote was fraudulent? Other than making a lot more stink, I don't see what he has done as so far out of the mean. Not to mention we had one Trump term that didn't end in a cataclysm. I'm yet to meet a single swing voter that believes Trump will install himself as dictator for life. Only partisan Dems. The key points with illegal immigration are: 1. It's not a major cause of crime statistically. > Didn't say it was, it's down the list for my concerns about illegal immigration, but like the left loves to say about guns, "if it saves one life..." What about those raped, robbed, or killed by coyotes? They're victims too. 2. Only a very small percentage of illegal immigrants commit welfare fraud. > I didn't say that. But it's more than "welfare fraud," it's the strain on school systems, healthcare systems, and more. A lot of these areas are already strained 3. They're doing what most people would do in their situation (if they had as much balls). > That's a "them" problem. America doesn't have the resources, nor the duty, to take on the world's poor. Being coached to make a false asylum claim does not make them asylees. 4. Trying to make it nearly impossible to sneak across the border fails any serious cost-benefit analysis. > Straw man. We had a tight border under Trump without a wall. Then Biden takes office and literally the month he takes office, undoing Trump policies, the number of migrants explodes. They say "the border is closed" when they could go back to Trump policies and stem the flow tomorrow. They talk about "root causes" as if we're going to fix Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, and Venezuela. No Democrat explanation of the current border situation passes the laugh test. 5. Expedited mass deportation of illegal immigrants could cause the worst economic crisis we've seen since the 30s. > Again, something I never said; rounding up illegal immigrants is impossible. But not as hard as the Dem wet dream of going door to door confiscating American guns. ;-) Based on the results gotten, we'll can decide how much deporting we should do, and how many illegal immigrants need to be converted into legal guest workers. > I wouldn't be against a measured, well-run, guest worker program. 6. Do you want me to lose the will to live? That's what will happen if my Cuban favs who are waiting for their asylum hearing get deported. > Yeah, you'll need to find an entitled AWFL (affluent white female liberal) to take her place. Sorry, some of us just want to watch the world burn...

*done right

I'm sure that, like in the outside world, it's the dumpy 50 year old with the cottage cheese ass and who smells like my compression underwear after a week of jiu-jitsu who wants socialism. So they gravitate towards other strip clubs who pool tips, and wonder why they're making so much less. Strip clubs, some right, are exquisitely capitalist bordering on libertarian. You eat what you kill. Willing to give more dances, more mileage, spend more time cultivating customers and less on your phone, you make more money. Otherwise you accept that others are more skilled or just want it more than you.

^ Yeah, bless their little bloodthirsty hearts.

Soooo...booorrriiinnnggg...

"You didn’t like that, but you accuse anyone who refuses to vote for him of “Trump Derangement Syndrome “" No, I accuse anyone who believes every conspiracy theory about Trump, no matter how wild, of having Trump Derangement Syndrome.

@ilbbaicnl "Yes, my point was, people who are truly falling through the cracks are the crisis." That's your opinion. Homelessness doesn't affect as many as inflation, and homelessness is more attributable to untreated mental illness than poverty. Reopening mental hospitals would do a lot more for that than more Biden green legislation. Inflation hurts everyone, but moreso the working class and people on fixed income. It's not about people "not spending their money wisely," it's food and gas prices going through the roof. The working class doesn't give a shit about the stock market--they don't own stock and can't afford to contribute to their 401k. "Trump sought to set aside the election results, not find actual counting errors and correct them." Yes, and I didn't like that. But fact was, the 1/6 rioters were idiots dressed up in costumes, not tactical teams. It's hard to say he intended that to overthrow the government. All this sounds like extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome from people struggling to whitewash Biden's record. But more than anything, the reason the "Trump = dictator" brainbug fails is because Trump willingly left office on January 20, 2021. Typically, presidents accomplish much less in their second term than their first--I don't anticipate Biden or Trump will accomplish much--but Trump isn't shredding America into special interest groups, black vs white, male vs female, LGBTQ vs straight, and telling them they're oppressed by the other and entitled to recompense. Race relations plummeted when BLM took the scene and prominent leftist politicians embraced them. They made a pretty penny off of them. Similarly, once gay marriage stopped being controversial (Obergefell or not, most conservatives truly don't give a shit anymore), Democrats discovered trans rights as their next great civil rights cause. Biden called it the cause of the generation, when anyone with open eyes sees it's a social contagion that occurs in clusters, and most often in severely mentally ill children and teens uncomfortable with their bodies. Even liberal UK and Finland are admitting transing kids is child abuse. We can take narcissists. Shit, the higher you go on the political mountain, the more narcissistic it gets, even Trump is an extreme example. We can't take everyone in America at each other's throats. I could go on about Dems' love of censorship, America-haters lining up behind the left, and weakness abroad, but that's outside the scope of this discussion. If Trump loses, it'll be because of abortion (and I'm pro-choice so don't go there), not because anyone was afraid of a Trump dictatorship. "The majority of illegal immigrants are unskilled or semi-skilled." And there we have two traditionally liberal constituencies placed against each other. Bernie Sanders called open borders a Koch Brothers scheme to depress wages, before the left suddenly decided any restrictions were racist. Labor markets are supply and demand too. Excess of labor supply depresses wages. If we sealed the border, American businesses would be forced to pay more to employ Americans. Goods would get more expensive but that's a tradeoff. As far as immigration, I'm more concerned about the bad seeds we're letting in. Gangsters from El Salvador. Thugs from Venezuela, explicitly released by the Maduro regime and sent towards America, admitted terrorists from the Middle East. Thanks to Biden's complete refusal to control the border, we're inviting 9/11s and 10/7s left and right. Give me an egomaniacal asshole over any of that.

@ronjax Deficit spending spurring inflation is basic macroeconomics. It's not a 1:1 correlation but it's there. Deficit spending during a supply disruption, double so. The definition of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods. The absolute wrong thing to do was to spend into it. The fact that it was throwing more money after the Dems' green wish list says it was a pretext to spend. The methane taxes will spike energy prices too, which affect anything transported. I know the stat bureaus love to play games about eliminating food and gas on inflation measures, but as long as you eat or drive or heat your house, it will affect you. Not only that, but the green energy subsidies go to the upper classes, which coincidentally are the only groups who give a shit about climate change. It's so far down the priority lists of the average Americans it'll gobsmack you. "The only people blaming Biden for high inflation are right wing media." False. David Lynch of the Washington Post (right wing media my left nut) says 3-4% of inflation (in 2022) was directly attributable to Biden's American Rescue Plan. You're also using weasel words like "every reliable economist." Certainly you can give some names. It's liberal darling Keynes who says you deficit spend during deflationary periods (like the heart of the pandemic) and pull back during inflationary periods (like after it's under control). I'd suggest you get your facts straight before you come in so hot at me.

It's funny watching liberals wank themselves into a frenzy over any potential Trump legal trouble.
