Yeah, you never could read too well, which may be the problem in the CBO report case as well, but even you should have been able to follow along with this one:

But setting aside the false claims of a CBO report (made before the report ever appeared), which you tried to escape on semantic grounds, can you respond to a single other one? Without relying on your typical semantic/moving the goalpost argument?

Didn't think so. So continue dodging...

So kindly admit (years after the fact) that you've got nothing on all those other points.

You also have trouble with the concept of 'rights', apparently, but I'll let AA bang his head against the wall getting that through to you.

In case you missed it, the Senate was not bypassed (even temporarily): https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/23/w.../23treaty.html

You are turning into a little bitch...

Edit: BTW, you ever going to get back to that circumcision thread where you posted that long reply full of threats and challenges and self-aggrandizement then quickly made an exit when challenged, or was that just a lot of empty talk?

The immigration bombshell: Naked lawlessness
June 15, 2012

"With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations of immigrants brought here illegally as children through executive order, that's just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed." — President Obama, March 28, 2011

WASHINGTON — Those laws remain on the books. They have not changed. Yet Obama earlier this month suspended these very deportations — granting infinitely renewable "deferred action" with attendant work permits — thereby unilaterally rewriting the law. And doing precisely what he himself admits he is barred from doing.

Obama had tried to change the law. In late 2010, he asked Congress to pass the DREAM Act, which offered a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants. Congress refused.

So he knew he didn't have the authority to do this, yet did it anyway.


Looks like Obama really is different than other politicians as he himself and so many of his supporters claimed when he was running for office; most politicians wouldn't have the narcissistic arrogance to so blatantly flout the supreme law of the land as he just did.

Says the whacked out political activist:



You should stick to your chicken suit routine, that way people won't accidentally take you seriously.

Do you disagree with the outcome of the E.O.? Or just with Obama's use of an E.O. in this circumstance? It certainly was frustrating seeing GWB use E.O.'s often to get his way. I can't remember if you were complaining about his use of E.O.'s as well when he was in office. If so, good on you...I know I was.

Is this a political ploy? Yes, but I think it's the right thing to do for these folks too. It's too bad both the GOP and Dems couldn't work together to get something like this through in the first place IMO.

You're gonna die up there.

You ever going to get back to going point by point like you promised years ago, before making several successive exits when challenged, or has it all just been empty talk and prevarication?

Rhetorical, so don't bother attempting to duck. Again.

I know it's hard to read posts with that chicken head on, what with having to constantly turn you head side to side and keep switching eyes to see the entire monitor, so I'll repost this for you since you obviously missed it the first 5 times.

Those questions you are referring to were criticisms of republicans(a group I feel very little inclination to tow the line for) and much of it was spot on and valid. I chose to address the ones that were not. I told you in that thread to quote any question you had of me that you felt I hadn't adequately addressed and I would address it. But your response was to pull your usual dissappearing act. If you want to resurrect that thread and quote any of the questions I will be happy to respond to them, providing you do the same to the questions I asked you. Ball is in your court.

When I got around to reading the rest of your post I didn't have anything to say about it. As I said, that one point stood out to me so I took issue with it. That doesn't mean that I either agree or disagree with the rest of it, I simply feel no need to comment on it, now or then.

But just for you dex, to help you out with this creepy new stalker persona you are working on, if it's so important to you, go ahead and quote the points you want me to respond to and I'll go point for point with you. But you will have to quote them because I honestly don't even remember what they were or where to find them.

I'll hand it to Triage, he is really good at crafting the form of his arguments to make it appear as though he knows what he is talking about. And without first hand knowledge of the subject matter and an understanding of the arguments being made he can be very convincing.

Before I put him on soft ignore, twice I caught him trying to argue against something he had never laid eyes on. At first he sounded very well versed in the subject matter and his arguments sounded very well thought out, but after a few exchanges it became clear he was arguing based on what other people had said about the subject with a healthy dose of tribalism dictating his position. He had never bothered to read the actual material that spawned the discussion and which he was arguing against.

That makes him a bullshit artist and a hack. And if you think well of him for that or imagine him doing what you apparently feel unable to do, that makes you a sucker.

Stop being a sucker.

Not really pwnt, just simple fact checking. Hell hath no butthurt like a liar scorned.

Nah, just brohhurt. I used think 13 was a cool guy then he goes and defends people who routinely cut up little boys penises(which in and of itself is no big deal, to each his own-and all that) gets all butthurt when I question him about it and now has started stalking me with posts like the one above(way cool 13, way cool).

But don't let that distract you from your fantasies about me, you seem to be enjoying them.

That must be really sad for you. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.

I'm sorry your parents were too dim-witted to challenge the MD's authority and it resulted your dick mangling.

Don't worry tho, I channel my pity for you constructively -- I always remember your story when I give parents the spiel that circumcision isn't medically necessary. Your scarred & dysfunctional weenie inspires me! If only it would inspire them.

Hey, I got an idea. I bet if you submit your story to Chicken Soup, it might make my job a little easier. Think about it.

Dimwitted? Nah, but after a late term miscarrage and then my older brother dieing in my mother's arms 3 hours after he was born, my mother wasn't taking any chances with me and made the mistake of trusting people like your dad.


And since you mention it, by American standards I am as 'normal' as it gets and I made peace with myself and my parents long ago. So the only thing you are doing by continuing this is making yourself look small...and drawing attention to something that more people in this country need to be educated about

I didn't miss anything, I simply made the mistake (no one to blame but myself, given your track record) of taking you at your word:

If someone writes that they'll get to the rest of a post later, and respond to one point, it seems safe to assume that they'll get to the rest of the post later. A little at odds with your recent statement:

I simply feel no need to comment on it, now or then.

If that's how you felt you should have written that. You're like the Mitt Romney of TGR. Or maybe this reading and writing thing just isn't for you. Could explain your failure to understand how a non-existent CBO report didn't help your cause.

Like I said, I have no hope of you honestly responding to anything anymore, I just hold out the faint, faint belief that if the above is very simply explained you'll understand it.

Out.

You are flailing and making a fool of yourself.

Ruby Sue,

You were kicked in your vagine a lot in "karate" weren't you?

Let me tell you a story about my dad. One morning over a bowl of Cheerios & bananas, I asked him what he thought about nuclear weapons. His response was a long-winded rationalization that ridding the world of nukes was a moral and fiscal imperative.

The basic premise: It's an insanely dangerous product that requires constant testing, maintenance/repair, upgrades, secrecy & protection. Get rid of it and money can be put back into the pockets of American taxpayers.

Not half bad for an MBA engineer.

Ahhh, I got you confused with Warthog. Sorry bout that.

You still fold like a cheap lawn chair at fat camp when your bluff is called.

And your dad is still whacked in the head, but for reasons different than I originally thought
