  1. As has been pointed out, he made that claim after the fact. And has also been pointed out, he refuses to answer what is the age cutoff. Which leaves a doctor faced with giving an 11 year old an abortion the possibility of being imprisoned.
  2. As opposed to other members of thaivisa.com who will figure in the annals of history? You got any more groundless points to raise?
  3. What percentage of those illegal immigrants do you expect the French to be able to stop? It's irrational to expect that number to be anywhere in the neighborhood of 100%. Maybe the UK should increase the level of payments to the French.
  4. In fact you can apply it to a whole host of laws and treaties. In fact, its application is so general as to be irrelevant.
  5. Well, the UK would be well pleased to have illegal folk leaving in rubber dinghies.
  6. Well, so you're claiming that security climate of roughly 50 years ago was no different than it is today?
  7. Was Brexit an act of divine intervention? Or could it be called "'man-made' and unnecessary"?
  8. Nice cherry-picking but... you left out what was actually newsworthy about this new research. The point was that while either method is less reliable, putting them together provided a far more reliable result “We found remarkable agreement between the output from our assimilation method and the values in independent paleoclimate records,” Hakim said. “This independent validation of our estimates for the past climate variability is an indication of how much the results can be trusted.” https://www.washington.edu/news/2021/11/10/new-method-shows-todays-warming-unprecedented-over-past-24000-years/
  9. Forgot about all academics. It's climatologists, the experts, who are claiming it's a crisis. Just read the latest IPCC report.
  10. So you're claiming that the Trump rally wasn't newsworthy? Would that were the case.
  11. Unless a member is a bot, any expression of views here is personal. The point is whether or not the views are relevant. The length of time a pregnancy lasts before abortion should be illegal, is not relevant to the question of whether giving an abortion to this 10 year old should have been a crime.
  12. A loser is someone who 18 months after an election is still tiresomely obsessed with that loss. It's one thing to lose, quite another not to be able to accept it. That makes him a loser big time.
  13. Predictions are always so impressive as evidence. Forget about Trump. Jesus is coming any day now.
  14. One thing that's been consistent has been the fact that mainstream predictions about batteries have invariably been way too conservative. Just a few years ago, predictions were that solid state batteries wouldn't be mass produced before 2030. Lately predictions dropped to 2025 with the caveat that mass production would follow later. Anyway, the latest evidence for impeaching those cautious predictions comes from NIO, a chinese ev manufacturer. They are going to begin offering a solid state battery in the 4th quarter of this year. Depending on what version you buy, it will offer ranges of 850k, 950, and 1000+k. And NIO batteries are swappable. It takes just a few minutes to exchange an exhausted battery for a charged one. You can charge them at home, too. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/nio-confirms-150-kwh-solid-state-battery-delivery-in-q4-2022/
  15. I'd like to say "nice try" but your deflection doesn't even rise to that level. So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to award you a "sad fail". I wonder if there's an emoji for that?
  16. And the zip ties some carried, the kind used by law enforcement officials in lieu of handcuffs, were they going to be used to tie up bags carrying "souvenirs" from Congressional offices?
  17. 2 out of his 3 codefendants plead guilty. The 3rd one plead not guilty. His first trial ended in a mistrial when 1 juror held out against a guilty verdict supported by the 11 others on the grounds that the trial was a political witch hunt.
  18. Another thing for him not to mention. He also got booed several months ago when he took credit for the covid vaccines. He's since dropped mentioning that at rallies. A true leader!
  19. This is why I never wear seatbelts. Those who wear them claim it's a sensible precaution but I know that they are living their lives ruled by fear. Such cowards!
  20. I think everyone is being very unfair to the govt. I suspect that they were just taking precautions. Without an engine to weigh it down, the sub is far less likely to sink.
  21. Actually it will be the boys and girls who cried there is no wolf will be the ones who will be responsible. Just look at the difference in covid mortality between blue states and red states. Once vaccines became available, the redder the state, the higher the mortality. And to get more granular, it's even worse on the county level.
  22. Well, gathering in the vicinity of the Capitol is one thing. Breaking into the Capitol is quite another. And when the intent is to interfere put a stop to the crucial Constitutional Duty of Congress in regards to an election, even worse. And we know that lots of the loons who broke in were QAnonists who believed that breaking into the Capitol would precipitate The Storm. Which would result in the elections being overthrown and govt officials being tried and executed.
  23. Clearly nothing to those reports of rioters posing a danger. That's why Secret Service agents were so relaxed about them. Oh wait a minute... Mike Pence’s Secret Service Agents Thought They Might Not Survive Jan. 6 https://time.com/6199590/mike-pence-secret-service-jan-6-hearings/
  24. I can explain it. The UK party in power believes in fairy tales. Like Brexit will be good for the economy. Or tax cuts will pay for themselves and fight inflation.
