What proof of wrongdoing do you have of democrats? You only posted campaign contribution letters. Do you think everyone associated with epstein was involved in the child sex ring?

It looks like lead arsenate was the most widely used pesticide, only becoming illegal in the u.s. in 1991, but soil is contaminated forever. The protein source, soy and peas absorb lead from the soil, cows absorb lead from their feed, a lot of protein powder sources coming from even more polluted china. And industrial processing equipment obviously contains some lead, probably even more common in China. Maybe it's not just the roids

Effectively the same thing in this context.

Do you believe the victims that say trump raped them when they were 13? Do you think everyone associated with epstein knew? Why do you think Clinton raped kids or knew?

@MightyMind do you think Trump molested kids and knew epstein ran a molesting ring?

Oftentimes a person, I'm suggesting maybe your partner, just wants to vent, and all they need is "ahh" , literally, that will satisfy them, you don't need to lie("you're right"). If you try to give them a solution they'll get argumentative, they just want to vent.

Post the proof about a Democrat molesting kids, or dealing with sex trafficking.

Being dishonest in a relationship seems like a good idea to you? This entire dynamic you have going on could probably be cleared up with one conversation, after which you can be honest because you'll actually understand what she's trying to communicate which is probably that she just doesn't feel heard(because you literally don't try to understand her).

Until she divorces you.....

You do this in real life? That's some toxic passive aggressiveness.

What do you guys mean "we are just being sensitive", being sensitive to hurting other people is a bad thing? You can call Emerald out on b.s. without gaslighting her and demeaning "most women" with baseless attacks, (this thread where she was being vulnerable and not exhibiting bad behavior seems highly inappropriate though). Integral was triggered, he's the one being emotional.

These are the only things I'm pointing to. I think your criticisms of Emerald specifically are fair. I think it's gaslighting to write her off with "most women have the problem....", and I think the generalizations are inaccurate using "most women" therefore they seem obviously sexist to me. Some people, a lot of women, get defensive if they just want to be heard but then you try to solve their problem, the defensiveness can look like wanting to win, they actually just want to be heard.

It appears Republicans are going to approve going to war with Latin America, so this will all be dust under the rug soon. Republican is a cult, cult leaders often rape the kids with impunity.

@integral I think you're dealing with some displaced resentment. I don't read what she's saying as "I come here to win".

It's not just sexist either, in this context it's gaslighting too. Sadly, I think this is the kind of thing Emerald identified as the root to her suppressing anger.

"Women. 🍻 " "We're not sexist, we're just right! 🍻" Every woman should get her daily dose of mansplaining, they'd wander into traffic or something otherwise. /s

It's invented, and incorrect in the sense that 'something counter to it is incorrect'. The double-slit experiment has proven infinity, not that there was ever any logical way infinity could be false. Take 1+1=2 There are no two identical objects in the universe, nor is there true separation between anything for there to be 2, nor the combining of anything. This befuddles all math. The patterns you're discovering are purely conceptual.

Maybe to be heard. It'd be toxic if she just wants to win. Sometimes people aren't looking for you to help solve a problem, but just to listen. People tend to fall into two diametrically opposed categories with communication; don't help unless they ask, they'll easily ask if they want your advice, or the other people; they'll almost never ask but they'll always listen to advice.

I posted a graph showing wages outpacing consumer goods prices, three times. You believe the system has caused this by practices like 07' subprime loans? The larger houses are custom builds, spec builds are the smaller. Of course they're more profitable, because they're more desirable. Spec builders are going to build the houses that sell the fastest, not the biggest they can build if it sits longer than a slightly smaller one, neither the bank nor builder dismiss turnaround. What is your systemic solution, tighter loaning regulations? It's about an increase in the standard of living, a substantial increase. We've also phased out lead gas, coal power, gas guzzling death-trap cars, and smog; these advances in the standard of living come with some cost. what is your theory on the systemic problem and solution with college? My opinion is the demand is too high, too many people wanting college degrees, and not from community college for free for the same exact career outcome. People can get college for free in the u.s. with FAFSA, but they want to go to a big name party school for social reasons, again overconsumption.

The FBI and NSA are in such dysfunction right now, the Taliban could start a forum and openly plan their next attack.

The president appointed his stooge in charge of D.O.J. this term and his first term. Bill Barr, the first term, whom has links to Epstein, himself. The investigation was ongoing until a couple months ago, obviously you don't release all your evidence before you're ready for all the trials.

Superfascists aren't so mighty after all......

It's a movie, as in to make money. If the claims seemed strong they would be all over every network with the bare claims, not just Faux news selling their movie.

"https://www.miamiherald.com 2 days ago — Donald Trump is mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's emails over 1,000 times — the most cited person in the tranche released this week by the House" The count is up to 1,500 now. How's the song go, "I'm proud to be an American...". Essentially, everyone that is flying an American flag tomorrow supports child molesters over helping the poor.

House sizes have increased significantly, how many people per house has DECREASED, how many cars people own has increased significantly('2 cars person'). How many people are on health insurance has increased significantly, how many people do outpatient visits has increased dramatically, Wages have surpassed consumer staples, not by much, but it hasn't gotten worse, prices have gone down compared to wages but consumption has increased, poverty has decreased. There is a problem with housing, but it's lifestyle changes, houses are gigantic now with only 2 people living in them, in the past 3-generation homes were normal, 3 generations and a third the size, houses with no a/c, barely any insulation, full of lead and formaldehyde; making things safer and more efficient also increases cost. I also believe it's clear home prices are a bubble, not permanent, just from huge market disruptions like trumps tarrifs on building materials his first term and then covid, Trump also did fsa loan changes his first term helping more people enter the homeowner market.
