someone else can do the rest of your garbage, i'm going to bed

>I said unless you're talking about net worth from stocks going up
>You literally post a link -- which you almost certainly didn't read (because it also contradicts your claims as being shortsighted) -- discussing stocks going up

And it's also worth noting that most of the big examples listed are from things WHERE PEOPLE ARE USING THEIR SERVICES MORE! Why is Amazon's stock going up? Because people are staying home. Why is Zoom suddenly a household name? Because people are using it in lieu of gatherings. The fact that they're seeing an increase in value should surprise nobody and has no malicious undertone.

LinkPizza posted... It would have been reasonable if he stuck to it. He started like that, and then immediately got a bias for Trump. If his plan was to stay I unbiased to both parties, and then vote based on their current platform, then he failed, I guess...

I didn't see much of that. He posted a few links to articles published by the NYT, NPR, etc, which spoke favorably of Trump and people lost their shit. If he had jumped to Fox News, that would have been a 180 (although he'd posted stuff from Fox criticizing Trump in the past)

Zareth posted... What the actual fuck are you even trying to say here

Two things:

1) The policy originates from the fact that the parents are being imprisoned for breaking border laws. Likewise when citizens break the laws, they're put in prison and separated from their families.

2) I was acknowledging that peoples' kids are taken from US citizens even when the parents violate no laws, which also happens. I guess that's mixed messaging.

Zeus, someone trying to argue something, anything, is BS by shoveling heaping mounds of it, Shapiro-style, on that someone is the kind of mess I think we're all tired of responding to at this point. Also, I'm tired in general and need to be up tomorrow morning for work, so... Have fun continuing to shovel. I'm not accepting it.

G'night everybody.

Which is kinda how I felt while reading your long-ass post I responded to. At the end of the day, most Trump criticisms are a matter of throwing shit at the ceiling and seeing what sticks.
