Peggy Flanagan, current Lt. Gov of MN [and as whacko as her milktoast Governor], and wannabe DSA Governor, went through a litany of questions about her political platform. Asked if healthcare ought to be universally applied to all, she replied in the affirmative, using the example of gender fluidity, that the choice of gender was a trans right and part of healthcare.

Is gender choice healthcare? Why? If gender choice is healthcare, then hair color choice is also healthcare, because hair color is also a feature that can be changed daily at personal whim. But gender [should really be called sex, like it was until psychiatry went woke] choice, no matter how whacked it is to claim, is not a personal choice.


Once again, I get it that there is a Pavlovian response to the Trans bell, but beside the distraction value, please share with us how this has personally affected your life? I have met maybe a handful of trans people in my entire life, none of them gave me a reason to hate them, as far as I can tell, they have had no influence on my life whatsoever, there is certainly no reason to make them a political issue that determines how I vote.


To be blunt about it, what is it to you, why do you give a damn about something that I see as an irrelevant non-issue. In what way have trans people affected you personally? Is there a reason for the hatred?

So Fauxlaw: Yeah, we get it, my OP rang the bell, the dog salivates and the MAGA minions give the conditioned response of "Obama and Biden bad, Trump good, ug". But perhaps you could go beyond the bell and actually read and respond to what the bell asked, you haven't said a word about that. Here's what the bell actually asked.


Trump's crusade costs the taxpayer $2,358 on average. What did you really get for your money? Do you think it was worth it?

How did Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Crusade affect you personally?


Try to get beyond the MAGA Pavlovian response, here in the real world, how did you personally benefit from your $2,358 investment?

I know what all of those words mean, but when you put them together into a sentence that way, I don't think it has meaning. Did you sequence them randomly perhaps?

I don't think they feel safer, I think it makes them feel more powerful, makes them feel the supremacy of the white race maybe, but Trump keeps his base afraid.


Afraid Iran will get nukes, afraid immigrants will eat their cats and dogs, afraid the LGBTQ Agenda will make them gay, afraid their sons will become drag queens, afraid the Jews will replace them, afraid minorities will vote, afraid of vaccines and masks, afraid of Bad Bunny and Rosie O'Donnell, etc. etc. etc.


If Trump thought his base felt any safer, he'd create some more scary conspiracies for them, he controls them through fear.

Thats a good point but even small business owners are relatively well off.


Why is it a problem that “even small business owners are relatively well off”, do you just resent anyone more well off than you? If you resent work, you will always be doing poorly compared to people that choose to work hard, you will go through life being a resentful person, that doesn’t strike me as a very good way to live your life.


And 95 percent of them? Work for me or good luck on your own.


I certainly don't think you can speak for 95% of small business owners, especially with an attitude towards work that none of them share with you. I think what they are actually saying is “Work for me, or work for somebody else, or work for yourself, that’s what I chose to do, and working for myself is why I ended up a small business owner that creates jobs.


When thats 95 percent of employment... the bottom line is work or die.


I suppose you can say that's the bottom line for everybody, and for every animal, I just don’t see the point of putting it that way, it strikes me as irrelevant and pointless. 


You should be supporting my argumemt as a fellow somewhat progressive minded fellow. Social safety net and all that.


I don’t know what “progressive minded” and “social safety net” have to do with it, this idea that life involves work crosses all political ideologies, it crosses all species actually, it’s just a fundamental fact of reality. Life is a process of expending energy to obtain energy; that’s just the way things are.  Food, shelter, relationships, family, friends, all of the things we associate with a good like requires work


I can’t support your argument because I don’t really see an argument, all I see is a negative attitude toward work that is unworkable in my mind, if you go through life resenting work, you will always be an unhappy and resentful person. I just don’t see the point. Do you play sports, have a hobby, play games, are in a relationship, all those things involve work for the purpose of enjoyment, making life better for you and others. 


Your so-called “argument” is just a thought process that I can’t connect with in any way. I’m retired now, but I can tell you that the best times involved work, I certainly didn’t resent the work, I relished the accomplishments. As a husband, father, athlete, successful career, service to others, all of it was a matter of enjoying the results of hard work. It will be tragic in one day you look back on your life and resent the effort, rather than relish the accomplishments. I think the times I most value, the times I most enjoyed, are the times I worked the hardest, especially when it involved teamwork, joint effort towards common goals is the most gratifying work, service to others is the most gratifying work, everything worth doing is a matter of working to accomplish goals.


If we cant go pick apples off local trees or plant enough food to feed ourselves at a moments notice we are being deprived of our natural rights.


How exactly is that a natural right? Even if you could go pick apples off local trees, that is still working, no matter what, you work to survive, the bottom line is the trees are telling you work for your apples or die.


Thus the social contract. libertarians are quick to say taxation is taken at gunpoint but so is deprivation at gun point of the means to reasonably support oneself. Violence is inherent in system


Nonsense, excessive drama doesn’t make your attitude into a point, nobody is making you work at gun point, there is nothing violent about the fact that you have to expend energy to live, it’s the natural way of the world. When you accept that, you can start enjoying life.

Only Native Americans are those who come from non-migrants. Everyone else is technically a migrant.


That's the best idea you have ever had, and I completely agree.


All these dang foreigners can just go back to wherever they came from.

Trump’s anti-immigrant crusade costs American taxpayers an estimated $2,358 on average.


So far, three Americans, Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Nicole Good, and Alex Pretti paid with their lives.


How did Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Crusade affect you personally? Do you feel safer, did it make your life any better, are there less drugs, less crime, fewer rapists?


What did you really get for your money? Do you think it was worth it?

Also still true


Nope, I can see how someone who sees working as a terrible thing seeing it that way, but it's not really factual.


Nearly half of all employees in the US work for a small business, and the average small business owner makes between $60,000 and $78,000 per year, hardly rich, and they probably think creating jobs serves us.


Most of the rich people you are fussing about got rich by working hard.


If you don't change your attitude towards working, you will never be rich, you will never create jobs, and you will never be happy working for a living.

Except it's obvious that your wife controls your brain more than you control your brain.


I'm sorry, but over here in the normal (real) world, relationships aren't about "brain control", but hey, if that's the way it is over there in creepy town, OK, but maybe don't mention it when you are around normal people, remember, you need to tone down the creepy. Thinking relationships are about "brain control", that's just creepy, it's best if you keep it to yourself.


->but love and physical intimacy with a woman is wonderful

So you're addicted to sex then.


You see, that's a pretty creepy way to read that sentence, if you want to find a woman that would rather be with you than a bear, you really have to turn down the creepy, way way down..


->I really appreciate that women would rather be alone with me than a bear.

Only a very small % of women in the world would choose you over the bear. Your wife obviously would. Maybe a few hundred other women. But billions of women who don't know who you are choose the bear over YOU (the feminist dude). Left wing men are still strange men. Do you think outside the people you know?


You see, that's what I'm talking about, that whole "completely detached from reality" thing, people find that creepy.


Focus on the goal, women would find being alone with you creepier than being alone with a bear, that's a shit ton of creepy you need to lose, a shit ton.


If you can't even comprehend the normal world, you could at least try to pretend that you aren't the mayor of Creepy Town, watch how normal people act, learn from it, try "acting" normal, see if you can "fit in", and see how long you can go without creeping people out. Then the next day, try to go longer. That's a shit ton of creepy you have there, so you need to persevere.

The Living God Jesus Christ’s work in me (Ephesians 2:8-10) changes not that the Big Bang is a leap of faith.


Ephesians 2:8-10 has nothing whatsoever to do with the Big Bang.


Let’s take a look at the evolutionist’s belief system. Moral relativism forms a defining factor of evolutionism.


Nope, moral relativism has nothing to do with evolution.


For example, Big Bang philosophers believe their Big Bang proves there is no God,


Nonsense, you made that up, and it is not true, which is to say that you bear false witness.


so they think that they may disregard God’s Commandments without consequence, such Commandments as when Jesus said “‘You will not murder, you will not commit adultery, you will not steal, you will not bear false witness,


You already told us that God broke the ninth commandment, you are pushing a deceptive God that bears false witness by dishonestly filling the earth with fake evidence for evolution.  You are not making an argument against the Big Bang theory; you are making an argument for abandoning Christianity.


honor your father and your mother, and you will love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 19:18-19) and do not forget the foremost and greatest commandment “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37), but God’s Commandments do govern every evolutionist, and this Grand Creator God’s everlasting justice is certainly meted out on His creatures.


You clearly violate the commandment to love God by disparaging God, calling God dishonest is a blasphemous desecration conflicting with Proverbs 12:22. 


Repent sinner, before it’s too late.

Albert Einstein and some associates, in about 1935, theorized a concept they called "Quantum Entanglement," which refutes your claim of particle non-periodicity and non-spread [expansion or proliferation?] in space.


Entangled particles share a single, non-local wave function, but that has nothing to do with particle periodicity or it's spread out in space. Entangled particles are non-local, which means they can be separated by great distances and still share a single, unified quantum state, but they are still two discrete particles and they are not spread out in space.


By definition, particles do not have a periodicity, and they are not spread out in space, which are two of the things that distinguishes particles from waves.

LOL, and he is completely obsessed with something that just doesn't matter. The DSA isn't even a political party; they are nothing but an activist organization with an insignificant membership.


The DSA has a little over 100,000 members; there are over 30 thousand people in the US who believe the earth is flat for every each and every DSA member, the US Star Trek Fan Club has more members than the DSA. DSA membership represents less than three one hundreds of a percent of Americans, they don't matter, they have no impact on American politics, and Fauxlaw's obsession is a hopelessly uninformed attempt to characterize Democrats by equating them with this extremely fringe group.


The DSA is dwarfed by Fauxlaw's white supremacist brotherhood, and that is a group that represents a serious threat to this country. This makes me think Fauxlaw is just using the DSA to distract from the grave danger his white supremacist movement represents to our country.


There is an agenda that explains the reason Fauxlaw wants us to ignore Trump, and ignore his white supremacist movement, and join him in hyper focusing on this irrelevant DSA distraction.
