#gerrymanderingworksbothways

If this happened... I am pretty sure this would start riots.

Thank you... was cringing seeing the posts about pouring cement:

You pour concrete - and there are concrete accessories. Cement is an ingredient of concrete that binds the aggregates together. Concrete accessories would be things like rebar, anchors, forms, ties, finishing tools, expansion and crack control joint materials - the list is very long.[

I would prefer a beer with a concrete worker over a politician every day of the week.

Most people, especially people who not in the profession, use concrete and cement interchangeably. Sometimes people like to be pedantic to prove a point, or score a point.

The politicians are still screwing us over and getting fat off the public good, but as long we are at each other's throats they will be fine.

Physical Therapy

and you're right, I can't diagnosis medical conditions, but spending 15 years in a hospital, I think it's pretty apparent Biden and Fetterman have some major cognitive questions...

KARI LAKE LOSES TO KATIE HOBBS!

T-30 until the "it was stolen" starts.

it started before the voting

It started with Trump and it has a strong following - and really who can blame any "Republican" for jumping on board with this philosophy:

If the Trumpian Candidate wins it was a free and fair election - If they lose it was because of election fraud.

This despite the overwhelming majority of proven voter fraud was committed by/for republicans.

This despite absolutely zero evidence provided of election fraud in 2020 and about 50+ court cases.

This because allegedly 40% of the population are complete morons and believe the 2020 election was stolen. https://www.newsweek.com/40-americans-think-2020-election-stolen-days-before-midterms-1756218

Nowt so queer as folk.

You do realize I've asked you this several times without any answer. And I'm not the one claiming to have all of the answers. I'm not diagnosing mental illnesses or predicting the outcome of future legal cases. If I were to do that I would certainly provide you with my qualifications.

I don't doubt it. That seems to be becoming a common theme when Republicans lose now.

I find it hard to believe that 40% think it was stolen. I could believe that 40% think there was some fraud in the process. This is where I think seeing the poll (of only 1500 people) would be helpful.

Big difference in "Do you believe there was fraud in the 2020 election?" vs "Do you believe the election was fraudulently stolen?", IMHO

Yep….Kinda ironic that the frank was asking for pit’s professional credentials here and frankly frank didn’t seem to know this simple factoid. Credibility lost.

Them getting thar vocabulary here……..

cement pond
noun - an inground swimming pool.
entymology: from the Beverly Hillbillies show on tv used the term to describe their swimming pool.
Jethro: Hey Pa! I'm gonna take me a dip in the cement pond!

More than fair statement.

I know people who feel this way.... (stolen election) - my gut would be that between Trump Base and others who have been corrupted/programmed - the number who truly believe the election was actually stolen is somewhere between 15-20% or so. Still an alarmingly high number.

There is no evidence of either. With zero evidence 40% believe it. What kind of hold do these candidates have on their supporters, the election deniers with zero proof? Nada, nothing. They act like a religious cult. Whatever they are told they simply believe without question. I don’t get it. I also don’t believe 40% are simpletons. But damn!

So you will continue to deflect.

You started there is nothing wrong with Biden other than agree. You seem to misunderstand how that works. You are, in fact, trying to diagnose him. Your assertion is he is just old. You cannot claim others need expertise you lack while claiming they are incorrect and you have the answer. It doesn't work that way anywhere but in your delusional fantasy world.

And you continue to conflate Biden'sn cognitive decline with the Bruen decision mandate of text,history and tradition.

You've stated people can't have an opinion without expertise. Put up. Quit defining hypocrisy.

No, you are wrong yet again. If you think you are right, find that quote. I said it could be either one and without proper testing and a professional diagnosis there's no way to know for sure.

Strike 472!

‘Biden'sn cognitive decline.”?

Pitdawg is now asking for quotes when he takes everyone's comments deliberately out of context and fabricates opinions.

I've seen it all.

Hold my beer.

No, no you haven't. Nothing about frank's assertion was taking something out of context. It was a complete fabrication. But you do you.

I agree. I don't think we need to be talking about what people did or didn't do for a living. If they made a living, that is good enough for me.

You can remember it how ever makes your little heart feel better. You claim I am diagnosing him, which is incorrect. You claim to not be, yet you have only argued the contra example. You try to have it both ways and, in the end, you again show all you care about is fighting. All you want is arguing.

You are wrong on so many levels we can't even keep count. But you keep at your infantile games, it really is all you have.

It only matter in so much as some people try to hold others to a bar they cannot hold themselves to due to their own hypocrisy.

The game here is you lying about what it is I said. I made it plan that it could be old age or it could be dementia. That only through testing and diagnosis by a mental healthcare professional could that be determined. I see once again all you have id false allegations with no receipts. Typical.

I have neither diagnosed anyone or claimed to be a legal expert who can predict the outcome of future legal cases. Another swing and a miss by you. People who do such things are the only people that need to show they're qualified to do so.

Yet another lie. Is that all you have left, lies about what others have said? Pitiful.

No you were quite clear that I was "wrong" because I could not "diagnose" his dementia and it was just old age.

But you believe your own lies. Continue to try and squirm and twist.

You continue to lie. I made it plain you didn't know and weren't qualified to make such a determination. Once again, no receipts. Just more BS.

This seems quite odd coming from you. Let's recap shall we?

I helped build many houses early in my career. Homes that give comfort to many people. It helps them build wealth through equity and helps provide their families with stability.

After some years I changed to the commercial side of construction. I helped build schools that children are being educated in and children are playing sports in those gymnasiums. YMCA's which people from childhood and the elderly are currently using to stay in shape and make their lives healthier. Large commercial offices and stores in which jobs were created in. For the most part I was in a supervisor role after my first few years in the business. My work was of great benefit to not only American families, but to business as well.

And what is it you do again? Video games isn't it?

You poured cement.

I own the gaming company. I make the decisions. I design the Games. I build them. Do the hiring. Do the marketing and advertising. Handle the finances. Manage the people who work for me.

And it's just not "games"

It's social interactive games. My games have large communities of tens of thousands of people. A large LGBT community where they build friendships with their peers. I have game members who have played my games since the beginning in 2009, and they have built many friendships. I have people emailing me thanking me for my games because it helped them through rough times. My company gives money to charity every single month. I could line my pocket with that money but I choose to give it away to help the less fortunate.

My point about you pouring cement is that you mock people because they "aren't qualified to make xyz statements." You're not qualified to do anything but pour cement. Well guess what, this is a message board and everyone is entitled to an OPINION. So if people want to say Biden has dementia, that's perfectly ok to have that opinion. You don't get to tell people what opinions are ok to have. Loser.

Making mental diagnoses and claiming to know the outcome of future court cases in not an opinion.

Once again, my profession helped many families and people. I was a supervisor for much of my career. My job requirements were far more than pouring concrete. But I know you have this superiority complex thing that you usually try to show by hurling insults just like trump does. Everybody knows your shtick by now.

If he didn't claim to be a doctor or lawyer than it's an opinion. OBVIOIUSLY. I'm not going to argue with you about it. So have a good day being wrong.

And there it is just as I predicted and right on cue. No when you make a diagnosis or predict the outcome of court cases as being factual it's not an opinion. You do comprehend the difference in stating a fact and stating an opinion, correct? It appears not. I'll try to give you a helpful example....

Opinion: I "believe, feel, think" that based on what I know a future court case will be decided "insert how you think it will be decided".

That's an opinion.

Factual statement: This is settled law and future court cases will be ruled on that way and no other way.

That's a factual statement.

Hopefully you will find that helpful in the future.

That can be said for any profession, truthfully.

The plumber, the electrician, the teacher, etc ad nausea. You poured concrete. You didn't facilitate anything any other construction person didn't do.

Not attacking, just stating. Don't consider yourself special. The mechanics that fix stuff? Like buses. The accountants, the lawyers, the people working in factories making cars, or widgets, could claim the exact same thing you claim.

Again, I am in no way attacking what you did for a living. Someone needs to do it, and many, many people do concrete. Tough job. But you're not special.

I don't consider myself special. I think the trades are an honorable profession. Millions of Americans work in the trades. But just for the sake of trying to be clear here. I was mainly in a supervisory roll for many years which required much more than "pouring concrete".

I'm still not sure how someone who makes and runs a video game company had the right to try to belittle my profession though. Do you?

That's exactly why your azz got sent packin', hun.

John McCain was a senator 31 years in Arizona. Lake basically told the McCain voters to buzz off.

She spit on the elections. Said trump was the rightful president and would be again.

A Fox anchor. Knows the image and the camera angles. Was asked about all the court cases that failed. She said Garland was withholding the evidence.

So, Arizona said we will take plain Jane and we reject your BS.

It needed to happen. It was important that it did.

If you are going to have a democracy then first and foremost. You must believe you have fair and honest elections. When you challenge that as is your right and you can not prove wrong doing.

Well then honey take your bs and start walking.

Yes, let's recap. You tell me I am not qualified to make a diagnosis, as if I had actually done so. Anything posted here is opinion, that is how these things work. But let's assume for a moment that we aren't just doing opinons.

You claim I was wrong about dementia. You further claim it could be dementia or old age.

Given OptionA is false,
also Given OptionA or OptionB is false,
OptionB is true.
QFT.

That means you have diagnosed him as only being old since you have struck my diagnosis of dementia. That also means you feel qualified to diagnose him, based on your explicit need to question credentials required to diagnose, credentials you clearly lack, ergo you are not qualified to have an opinion on the matter according to your own rules for pitWorld.

So again, put up or shut up.

Moreso no doctor or lawyer would give an official judgement on a forum, in some places that could be construed as "practicing" or binding professional advice.

The trades ARE an honorable, and good paying, profession. Let's face it, those jobs aren't getting shipped overseas, ever.

High school grads, with a work ethic, can start off, min. of $50,000 a year - IF they go to a trade school, learn, and show up for work.

Local construction company (road work - no paving, site prep, etc, guarantees a min. of $50,000 the first year, and it goes up from there.

But who cares if you were a supervisor? You keep hammering that. The people that do the work, that's who I care about. Supervisor, snoopervisor. Big deal.

I know many people that pour concrete. They get paid well. None of them care about 'supervisor' status.

I work my tail off. I AM the supervisor, and the grunt that does the dirty work and sweats his ass off everyday. I love it. I have no employees. However, I AM looking for help the 23rd and 25th of November. Big ass job. I'll pay, to a good worker, cash in the amount of $25-35 an hour. I bet I won't get anyone to help.

So, I'll do that big ass job by myself. As the 'owner/supervisor'.

You have opinions on Biden. So do others. Your opinion are no more accurate than others, and it could be argued that your constant defense of Biden limits your ability to realize the guy ain't right in the head.
