Ah! I'm not familiar at all with them.

It's Hume, sir!

 

     No, it's not Hume, who devoted a great deal of his moral philosophy discussing just what kinds of facts are used to form values. He did not think values came from Nowheresville or a creature residing there. He didn't think they were arbitrary. Hume didn't think reason alone produced the facts that mattered. He thought there were innate sentiments and social derivations for the relevant facts of value formation. Some of these questions are better answered in light of Darwin and the application of parallel ideas in social evolution.

Both Hume and Darwin were partially right. They both missed... but no, I'm not going there, no, sir, I won't. Please excuse the interruption, carry on with Trump. My lips are sealed for now.

Rep. Ilhan Omar says she believes woman's sex assault claims against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden

Under fire, first-term congresswoman says she will still vote for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Rep. Ilhan Omar will support Biden, but said it's important to 'believe survivors'

[...]"Omar said that the interview quoted in the Sunday Times of London was several weeks old, and given before ABC News and other outlets reported on Reade's past and instances in which she's accused of exaggerating her credentials as an expert witness in sexual assault cases. As a result, defense attorneys in California are reportedly now trying to determine if those comments in court amount to false testimony.

Omar did not take a firm stance on whether she still believes all aspects of Reade's allegations. Instead, she said it's possible to support Biden in his presidential run while still creating a space for survivors to come forward.

"There's obviously parts of what she has said that have been corroborated and parts that haven't, that is not my place to litigate her story," Omar told "GMA" of Reade's allegations against Biden. "I think it's important when someone says they have been assaulted and they see themselves as survivors that we, as we have been saying, believe survivors."[...]

Another gaffe! He doesn't even know the word "pee" has two "e's" instead of one! 

How senile can ya get, Joe? What an atrocity!

Oh no.  What are we to do? Biden has done two gaffs compared to Trump's 20,000.

[SimonNZ]

I'm gonna guess the sign on the right says Poor People just like the one on the left does.

[Herman]

the one on the left says "ople", so that's another gaffe.

Or they're code messages to Bill Gates and Soros....

Take him out of the race!

Maybe. 

Makes you wonder what Biden's criteria is for a VP, since he said he will pick a woman. How much coerced kisses, groping, and hair sniffing do they have to put up with? 

I just wanna see a live debate with him vs. Trump, where he starts groping Trump, and then Trump starts liking it and then they start tongue kissing, and undress and...

Well, sure, vomiting would ensue worldwide but at least it would stop being boring for one second.

[greg]

That's a little too surreal for me. 

Maybe AOC will strip nude for climate change  or something extra special.

Ew.
I've always thought she looks like a horse that got loose from a farm and then discovered someone's secret stash of cocaine and just went crazy with it.

Sure, it wouldn't be as pukeworthy as Biden and Trump making out, but going nude is such a common type of protest on the left that it would only get a yawn from me.

Congratulations, you've just gone below greg's level, and that's something noteworthy.

[Karl Henning]

What a peculiar exchange.

Is there anything on god's green earth that doesn't get a yawn from you?

Yeah, but would be nice if everything didn't get old so quickly- that would cause less yawns.

I used to work with people in retail and they would complain about how much I yawned, especially in the afternoon. Seriously, what is wrong with yawning? 

But no, Trump and Biden spontaneously making out on live TV would be novel enough to catch my attention for a while. That would certainly not get a yawn from me. But alas, life isn't so exciting.

The right wing obsession with AOC as too sexy for her shirt....

[Herman]

Don't hold your breath.

Shall I draw any larger truth from the right wingers here posting like twelve year olds?

Grow the hell up you children.
