You deny what I say, but 99% of the time have nothing but denials - saying things are not so, with neither evidence nor explanation, just drives the point home.



You are looking for evidence that something is NOT so?

I believe it more effective the other way around

---Trump's 'very dangerous' decision to abandon nuclear accord has 'mankind facing full chaos,' Russia says---

What is he doing?

He's ignoring his military again because he doesn't like their message.

What did you think he was doing?

You keep claiming you are opposed to bigotry, but you keep supporting the racists, the sexists, the antisemites, and the anti-gays.



Heh

Labeler.

Pretty ironic in view of the topic at hand in which the government is proposing to remove individuals' rights to choose their own label.

But yes, Kiid, it is a label that fits, so I use it, same as I use labels for clothes.

Bigot.

Trump is a bigot. The GOP leadership are bigots. And those who support them are bigots, too.

The denial that a proposal to eliminate the entire designation of trans is anything but bigotry is just a support for that bigotry and trying to make it more complicated than that is evasion, not debate or conversation, even.

This is not a political decision anymore than whether we are entitled to "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

I provided evidence that Trump is a bigot.

The GOP provided evidence that it is bigoted about race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and creed, among others.

You? You deny it. So does Redd.

And that is the evidence that you, too, are bigots. (or "you two are bigots," if  you  prefer.)

Racism in the hiring process is no better now than 30 years ago.

I knew that already, from other research.

Welcome to Bamb'u's and Redd's America.
What would we do without Josh and the fringe leftist media.
Vermont?
Clearly in the top ten of the most liberal states in America?
To be a Republican in Vermont needs a pretty reliably purple wardrobe.
Patrick Leahy the most senior Senator in the US Senate is in his 8th term, his Socialist counterpart, Bernie Sanders, was first elected in 1981. Barack Obama got 67 per cent of the presidential vote. Vermont didn’t wait for a court to bless same sex marriage, the voters approved it.
It is true Kiah Morris complained of harassment but did not want to get into much detail in a NYTimes story a month ago. She is dealing with financial problems due largely to her husband’s illness and said she found the work of the state legislature exciting but “ draining”.

A year old story over research that is three years old.
And not very convincing since in 2018 minority employment is surging.

That's not why you are not convinced, Redd.

You denied it in 2017, too.

What else is new?

GOP, the part of bigotry:

The world, as defined by Josh.

Carry on, shit-pickle.

Also, I love how you can blow yourself in a vacuum.

That was an insulting metaphor for what you demonstrate though you’ll take it as an empty insult. No more is expected for someone who mistakes what you mistake for news and confuses what you confuse with facts.

Welcome to Bamb'u's and Redd's America.

Sounds a lot like the "violent Left's" assaults on Trump supporters.
Different when the boot's on the other foot, eh?

Mitch McConnell is finally getting the courtesy he deserves in his home state. It’s no wonder he hardly ever goes there when he’s only the 5th creepiest guy in Washington where he thus relax a little.

By the way Bambu, you would be stuffed and mounted by nightfall of your first day in Waco. They’re real big on taxidermy there.

Top business executives, U.S. and European officials and others have distanced themselves from Saudi Arabia over the disappearance and killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, with many canceling their attendance at this week’s investment conference that the kingdom had hoped to use to boost its global image.

With reports circulating of the writer’s torture and killing in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, executives who have been doing business with Saudi Arabia for years are in damage control mode. What was at first a trickle of cancellations from the Saudi event, due to be held in Riyadh Tuesday through Thursday, later snowballed...

Some good news.   Davos in the Desert might fizzle - how it's supposed to work.   In a global economy, no nation wants to be a pariah.   I predict also mass avoidance of the consulate cafeteria.   

Red,  FIFY was a joke.   But your confidence in Congress (when it has a GOP majority) is touching.

I don’t have a problem with either in the majority as long as our repsentatives are held accountable for their votes. For too long both parties have acquiesced to the courts or executive actions to avoid the give and take of honest debate.
