"Who'll Stand with us?" - The Dropkick Murphys' anthem for the ordinary person...

Is this just MORE of your hypocrisy James, or just more of YOUR leftist Double standard?

You exist on this planet in a continuous state of double standard don't you James?

Just a few months back we were told by Your leftist Democrats that what Elon Musk did was a Nazi Salute, and when your guy Cory Hitler does the same thing, you say in all your daily hypocrisy that what Cory Hitler did was somehow different.  

Does it ever change with your side James?  Do you have one single bone in the 206 that are in your body that is honest or is it a never ending system of in one's face hypocrisy with you leftists?

I can cite almost every single political issue and your leftist politicians act with hypocrisy in virtual everyone and you follow in lockstep.

So then IF Donald Trump's admin claimed an insurrection why does that bother you?  You STILL lie every second about Jan. 6 and say it was a day of insurrection.  

Give it a rest James, it is impossible to keep up with your minute by minute lies.  smile

It matters whether or not the Trump administration called them insurrectionists or not, because you seemed to be unaware that they had.

If the Capitol attack on January 6th, which included many people who intended to disrupt and overturn a free and fair election, is not an insurrection, then nothing is an insurrection. The Joint Chiefs of Staff referred to it as an insurrection on January 12th. Mitch McConnell called it a "failed insurrection" that was incited by then-President Trump. Hundreds of experts and media sources have called it an insurrection, and many of them are not left-leaning. Congress impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection. Only lying right-wing whackos like yourself, who are incapable of seeing Trump's desire for authoritarian rule, still want to nitpick and make minor and unnecessary distinctions regarding whether or not January 6th was an insurrection or not.

I would call you out on being a broken record James, but I don't need to.

Thanks for making my point for me.  smile

The best way to prevent people from pointing out your lack of self-awareness is to work on recognizing your flaws, learning to take constructive criticism, and improving your emotional regulation. We all know it will be hard for you, if not impossible to change, but that's what it will take. Until then, you can expect us to continue pointing out your obvious lack of self-awareness.

RFK Jr.Removes All Current Members of CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee

Er, ah, that worm hole in Kennedy's head must be getting bigger...

I've read that another reason this matters is that without CDC recommendations and guidelines for vaccines, insurance companies are less likely to cover certain vaccines, which will further reduce vaccine compliance.

New tactic for the LA situation

Estimated cost for this "show" deployment: 134 million. You can add that to the 45 million for Trump's upcoming birthday/military parade....

It's particularly ridiculous since he whole LA crisis is entirely unnecessary and manufactured by Trump and his cronies. There was no reason to go to LA in a downright clumsy and bungling way. It does not take an expert to understand that ICE would be met with protests and resistance if they came into a majority Latino immigrant city like LA and carried out military-style workplace raids. And then ramping up the rhetoric by federalizing and deploying the National Guard, and then threatening the use of active duty Marines against civilians, and threatening to arrest the Governor of the state and the mayor of the city? It's just reckless.

Also, the guy who wants to make fun of other people for supposedly bragging about their physical health, and then proceeds to brag that he's a half-pint runt as if that's some flex.

Also, anybody seen my thread recently?

6'1" 198 pounds, which is a BMI of 26.1, but I strength train 4-5 days a week, do cardio 3 days a week, and participate in a lot of other physical activities. I'm wearing 34-inch waist jeans, and they are loose. If I weighed any less, I'd be a bean pole. BMI calculators are crap.

I don't recall giving out my daily workout and my cardio schedule, nor my jeans size as you have, telling us once again how fit you think you are, but yes by me offering up Jimmy 4 scoops a weight chart is certainly me acting "bragging about their physical health". 

Glad to see that you didn't do that....... Again!   tongue

You are lying again. I never said "I run like the wind," and I indeed never said my doctor said that. You may want to consult a neurologist regarding your memory, as it could be an early sign of dementia.

BMI is a crap statistic. LeBron James has a BMI of 27 and is technically considered overweight according to the BMI scale. In his prime, Mike Tyson had a BMI of almost 30. Tom Brady was around 27.4, only a few points away from being obese. Please feel free to call any of them fat to their faces. Your small-fry status is not a flex, and it's not surprising that you also have small-man syndrome.

Mayor Wu urges Trump border czar to ‘take a timeout’

Posted By James Lacey

It's just a matter of time before major cities start organizing together to oppose Trump's mass deportation policies. They should flood Homeland Security with FOIA requests and collectively sue them for anything and everything they can.

Mayor Wu Signs Executive Order to FOIA Immigration Arrests


Mayor Wu urges Trump border czar to ‘take a timeout’


BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Mayor Michelle Wu outlined some of the steps her office is taking to push back on Trump administration policies on Tuesday, especially on immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan continue to complain about what they call "Boston’s Sanctuary City policies," they say they interfere with immigration enforcement.

"I’m coming to Boston, I’m bringing hell with me," said Homan.

Wu hit back in a hearing in D.C.

"Shame on him for lying about my city," said Wu. Wu continued to hit back on Tuesday.

"My advice to Tom Homan and ICE is to take a timeout. Reassess what you are doing and how you are doing it," said Wu. "A little friendly advice from the safest major city in the country."

Does Rich feel safer now?
Sheesh!...

This action is just dumb, but not surprising since right-wing MAGA-types seem to be unable to see the world as anything other than black and white. It doesn't matter under what circumstances the immigrants got here; the laws and practices we have in place today allowed it to happen. So, mindlessly deciding to enforce those laws in a draconian and punitive manner is just dumb. Our economy depends on immigrant workers, whether they are here legally or not. Trump should be working hard to pass immigration reform, instead of demonizing immigrants to fulfill a campaign promise and pretend he is a strong leader.

Trump is certifiably nuts. He's done so many crazy and off-the-wall things over the years, you forget about many of them until you are somehow reminded by chance.
