describing being heavily pro-choice as statist

Check again. Ascribing the definition of murder based on what kind of death (killing) is legal is statist, and skirts the argument of what it is morally or culturally revered--bolstering the definition used by the state and to the disenfranchisement of others. Universal and absolute claims that "abortion is not murder" is exclusive to the territory.


And when it comes to Cuomo, that's not even what I said. I said that Cuomo's part was his fault, but that Cuomo's part also wouldn't even really exist if not for Trump's deliberate mishandling of things.

But that is what you are saying.

Or, get this: maybe I don't give two shits about the state's wishes and it's actually my own viewpoint? Shocking, I know.

No, it really isn't. You sure love to claim you know more about what people say than they do, but you don't. I fully attributed Cuomo's actions as his own fault, but that does not excuse Trump one single fucking drop from causing the entire situation in the first place.

I wasn't arguing your original post, it was a legitimate question. Your clarification picture included other votes as a third color, but they weren't mentioned at all in the original. You'd think that they'd at least have a small orange portion of the chart or something to represent other votes.

Sorry I had an actual question, for Christ's sake.

When is President Trump going to stop putting unaccompanied immigrant children in cages like animals? WHEN?

You make light of it, but the vast majority of these children are indeed unaccompanied now because of the Trump administration's family separation policy. They either deported (and then lost track of) the parents, or the parents were killed in Mexico while waiting for their asylum claim to be processed. Finding new homes for all these now-parentless children is not going to be an easy or quick process. Most likely, we'll still be cleaning up messes that Trump left behind ten years from now.

Stating opinions as facts? Why am I not surprised?

No, I've been stating both as what they are- and clearly distinguishing between them. Abortion being murder, or anything along those lines, is purely an opinion- and people's rights to believe and act otherwise falling under freedom of religion and belief itself is not.
 
Abortion is killing of human life. That's legal in some forms, like in places where death penalty is allowed--so it being "not murder" is a political/statist position. Dehumanizing the life is just a necessary step in that process. Morally and conventionally it is a different story. Saying there is no reason for abortion to be illegal makes it sound recreational.

As for taxes, the "the money was never yours" argument is a popular rationalization. However, if everyone felt more accountable for how the money was used, maybe we'd be in a better condition.

As for pointing fingers over Covid, why does Cuomo not get an honorable mention?

lol Cuomo is fucked.

And thank God that no such program was ever used during the Obama administration!!!!!!111

And how DARE a country try and secure their borders??????????? Is this Nazi Germany???????? So what if people illegally cross into the USA. We should let them all in without COVID testing -OR- criminal background checks. Every. Last. One! And give them all a free education, free healthcare, free unemployment benefits. I mean, just because we have tens of millions of American citizens drawing unemployment due to a lack of jobs from automation and downsizing, there is NO REASON why we shouldn't open our borders to everyone in Mexico! I'm 100% positives tens of millions of illegal immigrants from all over the globe will be a net positive on our way of life in America! Just think of all the neurosurgeons, nuclear physicists, chemical engineers and Nobel prize winning inventors that we could get from from Honduras alone!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

I agree, Biden (one of the smartest and most intellectually sharp presidents in American history.....who received the most votes of any president in America history) will be cleaning up the mess from Trump for decades to come!!!!!!1111
