What does a BIDEN Presidency look like?

[Zoupa]

Don't speak on my behalf.

You're taking all this very seriously dude. Chill.

[Razgovory]

Speaking on behalf of Yi, I'd like to say a few words:  "Pft Aika Zang!  Chev Nya-Nya-Qork"

[Jacob]

You're taking all this very seriously dude. Chill.

Yi would like you to know he's very chill.

[crazy canuck]

You're taking all this very seriously dude. Chill.

Yi would like you to know he's very chill.

Yi would like you to give him a nickname few will understand.

[Admiral Yi]

You're taking all this very seriously dude. Chill.

You're not taking all this seriously enough.  Be a mensch.

I don't think AR is going on about this because of his bets, he is going on about this because this is the standard way you attack Dems. They are fools, and weak, and if only they would do what McConnell wants them to do, then everything would be better.

There is the corrosiveness of not being able to criticize your team's leader without getting awarded brown stars for supporting the other side. I also disagree with the characterization that the slow progress is primarily due to republicans (on the confirmations so far at least). But whether McConnell is being an asshole here seems really irrelevant.

Me: Don't drive the lane or your shot will get blocked.
Others: Nah, it won't get blocked.
*The team drives the lane and the shot gets blocked.*
Me: They were idiots for driving the lane, I said if they did that the shot would get blocked.
Berkut: The other team had Mutumbo in the lane and he blocks everything that comes his way! You can't criticize someone for that! You should be in the Hawks fan club Hall of Fame!

No, thats not right.

Its more like saying "Hey, if you drive the lane, you are going to get fouled because they fucking cheat!
Yeah, but do it anyway, because we need to force the refs to make the call.
Drives lane, gets fouled, ref makes call, you miss the free throws
SEE I TOLD YOU YOU SHOULD JUST STOP DRIVING THE LANE!

[Eddie Teach]

Maybe there was someone open near the basket.

How would I take it more seriously? Real question, I'm not even sure what that means.

Uh...the republican senators clearly and openly stated the answer to that before the trial began--only a handful would even concede the trial was constitutional. Your assertion is the trial had to be "right now!" to solve the question of how GOP senators would vote? That was never an unanswered question either.

I don't think I made that assertion.  The discussion we were having was whether there should have been a more elaborate trial. The fact that the outcome was predetermined seems to favor my position.

Separately I did support doing the trial right away but that had nothing to do with how the GOP senators would vote.  I thought it best to get it done right away rather than have it linger on.  Whenever the Senate scheduled the trial it would impact on business.  Approving executive appointments is important but so is passing legislation, reviewing treaties, approving judicial appointments etc.

Witnesses could add quite a bit of context. Speech writers could provide evidence on where the language in the speeches came from, what direction Trump gave them, what edits he made, etc. Advisors could give evidence on the information that was being provided to Trump.

The Senate would never see those witnesses for years if ever.  Trump and the the lawyers would have asserted executive privilege.

You would stop speaking for other people.  You would realize this is not a good thing to do. 

No more "nobody gives a shit about your bets."  "Everybody here doesn't care about this or that."  If people don't give a shit about Fredo's bets they can say so themselves.  You don't have that right.

Roger Marshall's argument for not raising the minimum wage is that he had a minimum wage job and it paid for his entire college tuition.

When he graduated from Kansas State University, tuition was $898/year. It is now $10,000/year. The minimum wage then was $3.35. It's now $7.25

I kinda take that right when it comes to Dorsey, mostly to take a dump on him since I don't really like him.

If a person asking you nicely to stop doing something isn't enough, think about the fact that the only posters who do this are you and grumbler.

Oooh!  A drive-by lie.  Hope that burn attempt was worth it.

I don't say that "no one here cares about" whatever.

I did say, in 2009, that "No one really cares about opinions that are rooted in absurd premises and lack any evidence of careful consideration," but that's clearly a figure of speech (and untrue, of course).

How about you (and Tamas, for that matter) stop using my name as some sort of stick to beat people with?  "Only you and grumbler [do that]" is almost always a lie, and just a sad anguish cliché used by lazy people with no actual concern for what I do say.
