Luther calls people stupid all the time, usually when he has lost an argument.you are going through a lot of twisting to avoid calling them "dumb" outright. how does it make it any better to say they have a lower IQ than to say they are dumb? Both are insults. if anything you are doubly insulting them because your cleaned up insult can exploit how dumb they are.
not quite the same with the abnormal person vs a person with abnormal qualities, but it creates a similar problem. you are using more words than necessary to obscure that you are saying the same thing.
I'm talking cutting Veterans services, head start programs school lunches etc. To enable massive tax cuts for those earning $157,000 and over.
If you carry about 5-6 sticks on the side and take $150,000 in income in addition to it, that's kind of "rich". If you're talking just income alone, no, it isn't richHave any of these services been cut?
And $157k isn’t rich by any means, thats middle of middle class so you should be in support of tax cuts for the middle class.
Here’s where @jwells comes in all hot and heavy with something really profound like - “what, you don’t want roads????”Ummm, Earned Income and refundable Child Tax Credits have been designated wealth redistribution tools for the past 25 yrs.....
Yes; I don't know that you are owed instant, apparent justification regarding the detention of another person. Whatever he's being detained for should have a legal duration before he's charged or released. I don't know what those parameters are.it was a problem during Covid when the government was apprehending people for "social gathering" or avoiding curfews. but now when there is no apparent justification we should give them time?
we are Americans, we have rights, not the government. they have to justify why they are "apprehending" us. innocent until proven guilty goes away as long as Trump is the one saying we are guilty?
his lawyer got involved, and was denied seeing the warrant, or even having it confirmed that one existed, or any other pertinent information.Yes; I don't know that you are owed instant, apparent justification regarding the detention of another person.

No; those legal parameters apply to Trump, too.
There is a high of level of stupidity in this forum. I'm not saying he's right or wrong on this issue because I didn't follow it. I am saying anyone thinking they've won an argument because more people are agreeing with the opinion, doesn't make it a factLuther calls people stupid all the time, usually when he has lost an argument.
The head start and school lunches have been exempted. Also as I stated in an earlier post , the VA added 100,000 employees without adding more veterans and same level of doctors and nurses. So yeah what is those 100,000 new hires doing? I get all of my health care from the VA, so if I see any cuts that I think are wrong I will shout it out to the moon. There is a hell of a lot of wasteful spending out there and I am sure that some of that piggy squealing you are hearing is fear of a bar-b-que.I'm talking cutting Veterans services, head start programs school lunches etc. To enable massive tax cuts for those earning $157,000 and over.
Okay, but again, I don't know what the parameters of the DOJ are, for whatever makes him a person of interest. For instance, is he suspected of terrorist affiliation? Looks like he can be held up to 7 days before being charged. Not sure how quickly the person must be afforded legal representation. Green card holders are 'aliens'.his lawyer got involved, and was denied seeing the warrant, or even having it confirmed that one existed, or any other pertinent information.
if they can't give a reason they can't arrest him. the original distinction was ARREST vs abduction, not just detaining.
