If I ever respond to that type thing, which I have pretty much stopped, I usually put something to the effect of "I am also a skeptic, but I am equally skeptical. I don't just look at "big pharma" funding studies. I look at the people putting out all information and how they are benefitting...

The only way it will possibly become illegal is if we vote out the people that will not agree with it. Between the gerrymandering, incumbent advantages, and the large percentage of voters will never cross party lines, the politicians don't have much concern. If the nation's voters quit...

This isn’t exactly the US, well sort of the US in that I think we are starting to turn the corner on the opiate crisis. Either way, I’m real f-ing proud of this guy. And, for those that think “f-em, addicts shouldn’t get narcan, they should just die since they did it to themselves.”...

Yea, that is so true! If it didn't work, nobody would be interested:

Why?????????

Honestly, this is probably a good thing wrapped in a bad thing. It is sad that misinformation has been able to captivate so many. But, it has. I see these benefits- - I presume it will be human dosing, therefore people will be less likely to buy livestock meds and try to play Jr pharmacist at...

Sorry, can't agree. That is the same ol' common ground that we've always had. It is always in the context of "But, but everyone has extreme policies. Trump is just like the others." I pointed out things that Trump has done that are unprecedented. They are actions that harm our system. Many...

Again, there is a difference between policy, which is only “extreme” depending on perception/opinion and actions which are unprecedented. You feel giving college students debt relief is extreme. I’m sure many college students feel giving massive tax cuts to millionaires is extreme. Pure...

Your response show that you are the one with the biased consumption. Obama did not threaten to withhold funds anymore than your employer threatens to withhold your paycheck if you break the companies rules. Title IX was about transgender, not “boys” in general. Either you read biased media...

You aren’t Socrates. You would gain a tiny bit of respect around here if you had the balls to actually answer a straightforward question from time to time. I disagreed with many of Obama’s policies and some of Biden’s. Same with term one Trump (pre-election debacle). None of them did I...

When you say “not unique” do you mean in the nation’s history or like recently? Could you give your best example of an administration that was similarly extreme in policies?

What differentiates a party from being extreme instead of the people and policies? Do you feel that the current administration has implemented any extreme policies?

Fine, raise the taxes of those outside the metro areas to cover this and give a tax break to those living in the areas uncovered.
