Just what is it exactly you don’t understand about the creation of man and woman?

Since you couldn't even define "woman" accurately, I'm thinking you aren't the person to be asking that question.

It would be a TOS violation. Some MAGA behavior just doesn't fit here.
Just what is so repulsive about Make America Great Again? We could use a dose of that right now.

I still believe you are a master of diversion.

I'm good at preventing diversions. But then again in my experience that is a common trait among far-right zelots.

Is there a chromosome fir that?

Maybe so. Turns out that there are significant brain differences in liberals and conservatives. And it's a better predictor of political orientation than family culture. Turns out, liberals have a more robust anterior cingulate gyrus, which mediates things like evaluating successes and errors, reconciling conflict, and so on. Conservatives tend to have a more robust amygdala, which is good at threat recognition, danger avoidance and applying emotional meaning to perceptions. Animals tend to become more aggressive when the amygdala is stimulated.

Both of these are useful functions, but it does explain the old aphorism:

"Liberals tend to be friendly and open because they figure everyone is pretty much like they are. Conservatives tend to be surly and suspicious for the same reason."

Ah that ole insult diversionary tactic from the liberal playbook. How very friendly and open of you.

Your link is to a link that is dead. Which is not a surprise for any of us. It turns out that the state of Kentucky did this:

Following a 2014 HIV outbreak in neighboring Indiana and a national analysis of HIV/HCV outbreak vulnerability among people who inject drugs (PWID) revealing that 54 of Kentucky’s 120 counties ranked in the top 5% nationally, Kentucky passed landmark legislation permitting counties to operate syringe service programs (SSPs). Despite an arduous county-level approval process, Kentucky has succeeded in opening 80 SSPs, more than any other U.S. state. Unfortunately, this robust harm reduction infrastructure remains under- utilized in rural settings. Data from our research funded by NIDA’s National Rural Opioid Initiative revealed that nearly half of PWID had never used the existing staffed SSPs and, over 24 months of follow-up, SSP uptake remained low and program drop-out was not uncommon.

But maybe Biden is telling the Kentucky legislature what they must do, and they are obeying him. Doesn't sound very likely though, does it?

Johnny on the spot reply. Now if you could do the same with the drag queen issue and confused boys in girls bathrooms we might be making progress.

You could have found it just as easily. Here's a hint; when someone tells you something you really, really want to be true, that's when you need to be most skeptical. Because that's when you are easiest to fool.

Now if you could do the same with the drag queen issue

Madison Cawthorn is your problem, not mine. Personally, I don't care what you guys do so long as you don't bother other people with it.

I thought 2000 mules was somewhat compelling. Was all of that simply a false construct?

Yeah. It basically assumed that if someone was on the same block as a vote collection box, that meant he was putting votes into the box. Which seems like an odd assumption, until you realize that the boxes were in heavily-traveled areas, and that the guy making the movie is a felon convicted of election crimes.

Then it all makes sense.

Did you watch it? There was more to it than this characterization.

From someone who has obviously not seen the film to speak with such authority is laughable.

You discount the actual video footage and make light of GPS capabilities used by law enforcement, intel agencies and the military. Very few areas are high traffic areas at 2 AM. Not to mention video footage of a brazen dump of ballots in broad day light with many onlookers.

Barb on this topic you know not of what you speak. You like facts so watch the movie then make your comments until then your analysis is of no value.
