Does not scan. Supposed to be 5 syllables, then 7, then 5 again. 2 / 10 awarded by the judge.

I'm not a fan of the fat jokes and fuckability ratings that posters apply to any woman who is the subject of a post. That being said, if a woman describes herself as "kinda hot"... she ain't.

There is a difference between "the majority of undecideds are simply ashamed Trump voters" and the "among undecided voters, those that have so far decided are switching to Trump more than Biden". You can certainly make an assumption that those which have broken towards Trump are representative of all undecided voters, but that is not clear from the data provided, agreed?

You're thinking of @Axiom of Choice chiding @Brisketexan.

Donald Trump 2020
I agree, but I am not sure what the point is. I'm a Man (/Gundy) so I am well familiar with the collapse of the Soviet Union. I am also familiar with the environment disasters in the US from mining, manufacturing, etc. No country / economy has EVER been good at capturing external cost. Now with EPA and other regulations, the US is closer to some degree, but I don't think socialism vs capitalism has anything to do with environmental disasters. This is not intended as a defense of capitalism or socialism, but it seemed like @Bozo_Casanova was implying that one was better than the other (in terms of capturing cost / economic disasters, not necessarily overall). If that is the case, I would again just try to understand what is meant by capitalism vs socialism, when every economy in the world is essentially a mix of the two.

Donald Trump 2020
Wait wut? I agree that this is important but I have no idea what you are trying to say here. I <think> you are saying that the greatest environmental disasters have occurred under socialist regimes? What disasters are you thinking of? I mean, there's a lot, but is Bhopal greater than Love Canal? Chernobyl? Easter Island? And what socialist regime has ever existed that actually had everyone with equity in everything? How are you determine socialism vs capitalism given that no pure socialist or capitalist market has ever existed? I totally agree that owning means of production should incur full cost, but has that literally ever occurred?

Strong disagreement. I think that dubious distinction goes to MNLonghornFUKM and it's not even particularly close.

I don't know if it's just me, but this may be the calmest Lobo post I've ever seen. "Let's switch his caffeinated coffee with decaf and see if he notices".

Hah, awesome. Tries to gotcha someone about an event that happened 2+ months ago. Fails. "Whatever guys, I don't have time for trying to gotcha people about an event that happened 2+ months ago".

Michigan overthrow attempt/kidnapping of governor thwarted
Shit, according to Reggie White, Africanized killer bees should be awesome at singing and dancing compared to Asian bees who are too busy turning TVs into watches. This should be a snap.

10.15.20 Trump Town Hall Thread Of Insanity
Or (and this isn't directed just to you) it's also possible to not follow any mention of a female anchor / politician / actress / <insert profession here> without accompanying metric of fuckability at all. I know that's a pretty crazy opinion but it just might work!

Karen of the Year
As a UU, I gotta say it feels pretty cool to be part of one of the few denominations that is more Dem than Atheists. Instead of gay marriage or women preaching, our biggest national struggle is to how to reconcile white supremacy with aging (and largely older white) congregations.

hey, no big deal, fbi busts attempt to kidnap michigan gov and overthrow the government
You have really weird ideas about what goes in CR. I remember laughing my ass off at you getting pissed in the basketball forum and negging someone for talking about Karl Malone's domestic abuse and statutory rape accusations. Maybe you're just super high and somehow get aggro as a result, but it is not CR to talk about things you don't like or understand.

2020 VP Debates: Kamala Harris vs. Mike Pence; Special Guest: COVID-19
Pence has been trying to bait Kamala into being an angry black woman for the last 80 minutes. Props to her for walking a nice line between not taking bullshit while also knowing she's held to a shitty standard.

Original Post "I have no idea what this is but is abusive on unprecedented scale!" What was even described? How can you be in favor or opposed to the original post? For actual detail, the state recognizes that poor (e.g. mostly minority areas) have higher positivity rates, have higher impact caused by lack of savings, and tend to work in jobs that can't be done at home. As a result, as part of re-opening, larger counties have to specifically include testing/validation targeting the areas with most impact. Decent article here (LA Times). You can still be for or against this, but at least do 2 minutes of searching before outrage.

Cops kill black man in Wolfe City
So you don't see any disconnect in what you wrote? No potential cause for concern or irritation that after a clear murder, the cop was given 1-2 days to get story straight and game plan defense? You think that if you or I murdered in plain sight that we would have the same luxury? I don't see anyone criticizing the Texas Rangers but perhaps this is why people aren't tripping over themselves to praise the Wolfe City PD.

Fatsa v Mensa Game Thread
Also clear no-calls, like no PI against Eagles in the 2nd quarter, and bullshit like the blowing the whistle on offside for TCU, eliminating a big run / free play for Texas. Anyone who claims the refs weren't a factor in this game either has an agenda or wasn't watching. Texas should have won anyway but looking at flag count misses the point.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
@Anastasis I know we are all shitty and pissy (and dare I say Surly?) watching this awful game. That said, telling someone they are wrong and have no reading comprehension while not saying why is bad form. Exceptions certainly apply with clear trolls. I am sure you have history with jimmyjazz but I think you would probably agree that he's not a troll, just a misguided Cardinals fan.

Trump shits all over the troops again
Slorch, I totally get saying that nobody knows if it's true or not. But with proverbial gun to the head, do you think it's more likely that he said what was reported, or more likely that he didn't? Not asking for criminal conviction, no court-room preponderance of evidence, just curious what you think is more likely?
