    Weekly (right-wing) Wing-Nut Roundup

    Not really surprising that such a thing would happen in here. Got something to say about politics, the state of the world, what's happening today, just need to express your opinion? Liberal? Conservative? You're welcomed here! Just keep it civil!

    The Trump Card...

    Dick Van :censoredsign: is best known for being funny, witty and intelligent. I'll take it. Pee Wee Herman, on the other hand, is best known for getting caught tweaking his Twinkie in a movie theater. "Don't trip over the ottoman." - Dick Van :censoredsign:

    You sound like Pee Wee Herman.

    I think you're overly aggrandizing what actually takes place.

    Where do you come up with this stuff? No. That's not the deal. There is no requirement for a tax-exempt church to provide food, shelter or anything else to anybody to be tax exempt. The deal is they are tax exempt in exchange for them staying out of government and the government staying out of...

    "Clock" maker invited to White House

    The Dallas Morning news did a piece where they interviewed a former (disgruntled, no less) teacher of Ahmed's who said Ahmed had a history of problems, but predicated all of that on the fact that the school itself was, as a rule, too quick to write students up and suspend them, and at least one...

    Show me where I used Neil Munro in any way, shape or form as a foundation for my conclusions in response to Pilgrim's post.

    No one is forcing you to click on the thread and read it. If you don't like the thread, don't read it. If you feel like you have the moderating authority to determine how a thread topic evolves and can therefore tell people to shut up when the evolution and their postings doesn't suit you, then...

    The Trump Card...

    Name one unfounded accusation I used to draw any conclusions, and show one logical fallacy that I used. I just got through detailing how I arrived at my conclusions, including the foundations for doing so. That's an example if criticizing opinions passed off as news, not of the opinions...

    Layover money?

    Layover pay is an accessorial, just like hand unload and detention. Most accessorials pay out at a given percentage, such as 62%. The reason is they have to negotiate and collect the accessorial charges, and deftly do so without losing a customer. Just out of curiosity, if the shipper is closed...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Two gay guys walk into a pizza parlor. :JC_rimshot: They order two pizzas for take out, pay for the pizzas, then leave with the pizzas. And somehow this transaction gets categorized as a catered event. Not only did they not get the shop to compromise their beliefs in any way, they actually...

    Oh, it is correct. Shocking, isn't it? I mean, who do these church people think they are, church people or something? There is no free lunch, or dinner. Beggars can't be choosers. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. No one has ever been killed with kindness. One can't make an omelette without...

    "Clock" maker invited to White House

    Because they said so. The police released him after they determined it wasn't a bomb (actually they knew it wasn't a bomb when they arrested him, which they've stated, as well), and after they determined it wasn't a hoax bomb. So after the police officially determined that it was neither a bomb...

    Since you offered no reason as to why you thought the information about the author, or his father, was particularly noteworthy, you left your readers with no choice but to do just that, which I did. .Rather than jump to conclusions, we instead can use your post, the link you provided, Ragman's...

    The Trump Card...

    You post that as if that's supposed to mean, in fine logically fallacious fashion, that what he says should be dismissed out of hand. But the reality (and the irony) is the note of remark you felt to point out actually gives him far more credibility on the context and accuracy of what happened...

    No, the agenda is to rail on churches and the claims of Republicans. The creator of the "Mind Blowing Fact" used the data for individual churches, and applied that to church charities, as if the money for church charities only comes from the surplus off the books of individual churches. She's...

    Of course they do. They're an online magazine of topical satire and rumor. They don't even pretend to be something other than that. I don't think I've ever seen someone try so hard at deflecting and justifying.

    Going Bananas

    A lot of people won't put bananas in the fridge cause the peels will turn black and they think the fruit is rotten. But if you put them in the fridge while they're still pretty firm, as you've seen you'll get a week or more where they don't ripen noticeably. If they're already mushy when you...

    Going Bananas

    If you put the bananas in a plastic bag and seal it before going into the fridge, the peels won't much turn black, either.

    The islamophobia didn't come into play until they suspended the kid anyway, even after determining it was neither a bomb or a hoax bomb. A suspension is a punishment, and the only thing he did wrong is be a Muslim. And they punished him for it.
