We have his record as state legislator, where he spewed unvarnished Marxist rhetoric. Heritage sure, but I think the Russian connection is way overblown. He did not throw Ukraine under the bus nearly as hard as he could have, and would have if he was really Putin's henchman. And he also...

This is the type of person Mamdani surrounds himself with as he prepares to take over mayor's office: Bigwig on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team railed against Jews, questioned gay rights in vile unearthed posts: ‘Horror show’ Disgusting!

That's why I asked Zipr what it means to him. This is a thread about the NYC mayoral election. We already know what "socialism" means to Democratic Socialists of America. They state in their constitution that they "reject an economic order based on private profit" and that they support a...

Mamdami[sic] is a rival supervillain though, not a hero. Henchman for whom though?

My point is that bilby had no way of knowing the 17 year old hooker "looked like a child" and merely assumed it as some sort of article of faith. My point is also bilby's ridiculous standards when he dug in replying to me. He admitted that he thinks that she "looked like a child" because she...

You claimed that she looked like a child. Which is a very different claim. Nobody claimed that she looked like she was in her 30s. Do you think people should be only be allowed to have sex with people who are or look to be of similar age as them? I did not conceal anything. She advertised as...

She is such a dingbat.

The issue is that when you eat oranges you also get fiber, which slows down sugar absorption somewhat. So the sugar spike should be less. But if you consume orange juice in moderation, and esp. if you drink it as part of a balanced breakfast, with all sorts of nutrients including fiber in your...

Robnish, did you know that you can adjust the size that images display as, so large images do not fill the whole screen? It's easy. When inserting an image, simply click on it, which brings up a context menu. then click on the icon with four arrowheads. Then specify width, for example "400px"...

To use the term so beloved by that particular poster, you are part of his "Ilk". But let me ask you specifically, do you agree with him that Stacie-Marie Laughton is not a big deal, but that Matt Gaetz is?

Why do you say that she looked like a "child" - to the point of falsifying my comment? Does she have Hutchinson-Gilford or something? ' Be specific. Or are you simply assuming?

So what? Does that make xir's conduct any better? Again, so what? AFAIK, he was only ever convicted of financial misconduct, and in any case, all that allegedly happened in the 1970s. Why are you dredging all that up now? And why are you so insistent on downplaying the case of an actual...

And yet, threads like these are overtly partisan. Again you with "credibly accused" as if that means that the accusations are likely true. It does not mean that, and the phrase sounds stronger than it legally is, which is probably why it is so popular among polemicists like you. Why? There is...

"Credibly accused" is legal speak that just means that the accusation cannot be dismissed or disproven out of hand. It just means that the matter can and should be investigated. It does not mean that the case should proceed to trial unless the investigation finds sufficient evidence that...

Sure. Kelly did not express her point well I think. Maybe she meant to say "pass for older"? Many teenagers look older. You can certainly find many 15 and 18 year olds that look the same age, or even 17 and 20 year olds for that matter. And what if the younger person lies about their age? Or...
