The people I might trust are mostly in a minority, or merely form another faction.<br /><br /> I certainly don’t trust the institutions you’re linking to in order for relevance and insight about my principles, nor about the truth.

What a difference it made! Coherent arguments not playing to applause lines. Almost made me want to vote for Gore, despite not agreeing with his wishlist. I don't know why no one has tried it since.

This is akin to an underage girl raped and the "burden" of evidence aborted in a sanctuary state. An underage boy groomed under the aegis of social progress. A third rail to share responsibility through taxation and progressive prices. A war started through premature evacuation, a proxy funded through overriding claims, a Spring waged across three continents. A majority failed conversion therapy practiced on underage boys and girls with forward-looking collateral damage. A non-sterilizing shot with pathogenic progress distributed by mandate and coercion. Masks to offer a false sense of security and probable infectious vector. The revisiting of DIEversity under ethical religious sanction. A wicked solution socially justified by exception to the humane rule.n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-71615769616103705242023-02-07T15:43:41.287-06:002023-02-07T15:43:41.287-06:00Speaking of "politically motivated," thi...Speaking of "politically motivated," this is a another Biden reality-defying stretch...<br /><br />Paul Pelosi (San Francisco, California)<br /><i>Pelosi is a businessman, father, and husband of Speaker Emerita of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Its time to change the format so the common person can actually view comparisons and statements made and use their own judgements, Rebuttals by people who have already admitted lying to the public and the press (Sanders) and the rebuttal teams need more than talking points and need to be viewed as truthful not just from their own groups. This format is stale and predictable, shake it up!
