In that order.

Israel isn’t responsible for Trump remarkable attempts at destroying the US economy, USD, and the entirety of their softpower.

No, but they helped get him elected.

Not sure they did it on purpose, and it only affected the stupidest of Democrat voters, but any argument that the genocide in Palestine didn't impact our election is not being honest.

Bloody Cardys can't be trusted.

Yea, that's about what I expect it to be.

Of course they will make a deal. On their terms, when Trump is desperate to get trade moving again.

he just did it anyway

He didn't just do it anyway. I doubt he knows which ends of a patch cable goes in the wall, and which in the computer.

Someone who knew what he was doing, and why it was a terrible idea, verging on criminal, did it.

Nice to see they are listening to the courts, as they are supposed to do.

I'm crossing my fingers that this is the crack in the dam, like it was for McCarthy.

I'm moderately curious what they had on him. But I don't want to know.

The Section 31 Movie I wanted:

Depending on what sort of equipment is Cardasian standard, It's true either way.

Over half these doctors have been on the D.

Moving towards becoming a shit company, you mean.

Ok, that is a bass rumble and a half. Gonna have to try it on real speakers.

This sounds like gender affirming care to me. Is there somewhere we can report it?

Yea, we know. When is the last time a Republican administration did anything to help regular people? Or anything that might be good for the economy?

Doesn't happen.

That's why I specifically quoted that part, so if I was misunderstanding you, you could have corrected me.

On that basis, I think we are substantially in agreement.

I don’t think you can blame the prosecutors for doing their jobs (assuming they’re not breaking the rules in how they do it) under that system.

So, what did you mean by this?

Yes, I see your reply. It doesn't address my concern in any way.

At risk of repeating back to you what you already know, your argument reads that the system is necessary, and I agree. Also, the system is unfair. I also agree. Also that people who knowingly use the unfair system to hurt people unfairly caught in the system are not responsible for the unfairness. I disagree.

At this point, we should be trying to show each other why we believe what we believe. I, for example, would talk about how seal-clubbing is unfair, even if allowed by the rules. You might argue that anything allowed must be considered fair. (or you might argue something else, if I'm not properly understanding your position) We might learn from each other. We might not.

Also, why would you bring up something that I’ve already “admitted” in your parlance and tell it to me?

Because it's central to my own point, and context helps make things clear?

What counterpoint did I raise to this argument when it was raised before?

I saw nothing that I observed as a counter-point.

I guess sharing a view with you is “admitting” something, since this needs to be an adversarial interaction and your point of view is presumed to be the “right” one that you’re trying to bring me around to

No, as I said above, we are working on mutual communication, leading hopefully to us both learning more about the issue under discussion.

Since "admitted" doesn't work for you, what other word would you have me use? I'm trying to convey you knowing something, and saying that something, but not framing it in a way that communicates to me that you are thinking about it the same way I am, but are instead treating it as a minor point, or once detached from the immediate point, while I find it to be critical to the immediate point.

Your point number two admits the issue, but then you end by saying that you can't blame the seal-clubbers for clubbing seals.

I agree that it's not the fault of the prosecutors that the system is as it is. But it is their fault when they refuse to make allowances for the system being what it is.
