You mean the religious intelligent design nutcase? Intelligent design isn't science... it's what happen when people need to con fucking idiots out of more money.
Chris is an electric universe cultist who fairly regularly posts semi-convoluted plus bullshit in his vain attempt to make himself feel special for knowing more than anyone else, including all the actual real physicists.... you know, that "i've figured out what no one ever has" ego jolt that is usually the stupidest shit around. Basically a religious nutcase trying to sound scientific enough to leech money from really stupid people,by using pseudo-science and bullshit.
Seriously, we're back to just pointing out you're spending too much time sucking Trump off to be anything more than a complete fucking idiot when it comes to reality.
No one liked the mandate, but do remember, the mandate was part of the REPUBLICAN plan that was adopted in Massachusetts and latter nation wide. It was the most hated part of the ACA... but a part that REPUBLICANS felt was needed in the original plan because, heaven forbid, this country ever does anything to actually help people.
"No, because although more revenue would be lost on more expensive plans, the revenue loss on low- c ost plans for healthy Americans would be much lower. 2) Mandate all households to obtain adequate insurance."
Apparently the drive to personal responsibility is only meant for people, not republicans, because republicans sure do whine like little bitches when they have to live up to their own words.
You are a complete fucking idiot. Really, there's little else to say about you. Because Trump says so doesn't mean shit, except to you guys on your knees sucking him off daily.
"ISIS and al-Qa‘ida and their respective networks will be persistent threats, as will groups not subordinate to them, such as the Haqqani Taliban Network."
"ISIS core has started and probably will maintain a robust insurgency in Iraq and Syria as part of a long term strategy to ultimately enable the reemergence of its so called caliphate. This activity will challenge local CT efforts against the group and threaten US interests in the region."
"The Islamic State may still have in excess of 30,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq and appears to have rebounded from some of its worst setbacks, according to two new reports that call into question whether the militants are as close to defeat as the U.S. military has suggested." “The collective discipline of ISIL is intact,” the report said. “The general security and finance bureaus of ISIL are intact. The group’s immigration and logistics coordination office is also intact, although it is having difficulty communicating and its chief has been killed.”
"While U.S. and allied forces in 2017 and 2018 successfully liberated most of the territory formerly held by the group in Syria and Iraq, IS leadership remains at large and IS fighters appear to be evolving into an insurgent force. The group’s international affiliates continue to operate, and individuals inspired by the group continue to attempt attacks in Europe and elsewhere. The stabilization of areas recovered from the group in Iraq and Syria remains an ongoing challenge, and a U.S. military spokesperson for the counter IS campaign warned in August 2018 that, “We cannot emphasize enough that the threat of losing the gains we have made is real, especially if we are not able to give the people a viable alternative to the ISIS problem.”
When you place party above country, like the GOP regularly does, unprecedented things can happen. Those things don't tend to be good for the country. Mitch McConnell should be considered an insurgent undermining the US. Worthless shits like you might like living in a banana republic, but you are as much an enemy of this country as anyone else trying to destroy its government and people.
I'm sorry you're so fucking stupid you need your hand held to be able to see reality. Try pulling your head out of your ass, for once in your life.
- tax reform, including finally fixing the highest business tax rate in the world
The US had the third highest business taxes worldwide ON PAPER, but anyone not a lying sack of shit (unlike you) knows that's not even remotely close to the actual rate businesses are taxed. I get it, stupid fucking idiots like you can't think passed the 5 second sound bite of your hyper-partisan political fuckery, but the EFFECTIVE TAX RATE is what they actually pay...and it's not the highest at all. https://www.forbes.com/sites/e...
"In any one of these years (2006-2012), at least two-thirds (between 67% and 72%) of all active corporations had zero tax liability after credits."
"The average effective tax rate among the profitable large corporations was 16.1%, under federal tax treatment."
The difference between "top marginal" and "effective" is well known, and only a complete fucking idiot or a pathological liar would keep bringing up this pathetic talking point. Which are you?
In addition to this, the cost of this "tax reform" will add 11.7 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years, after taking into account growth. https://www.reuters.com/articl...
"But those growth rates will not offset the deficits, which will “increase rapidly this year and over the next few years,” then stabilize, resulting in a projected cumulative deficit of $11.7 trillion for 2018-2027, CBO forecast."
Clearly there are no such things as fiscal conservative republicans.
You also have that star forming clouds/regions can be quite large from the get go. The Orion Molecular Cloud Complex is hundreds of light years in diameter, so depending on the initial size of our formation cloud, there might have been no drift at all needed for their current positioning.
It also could be that the people who are not completely fucking stupid conspiracy shitheads are tired of being spun by fucking idiot conspiracy dipshits like you, and are thankful for the few minutes of reality posts with actual facts give them.
To Libyans who witnessed the assault and know the attackers, there is little doubt what occurred: a well-known group of local Islamist militants struck the United States Mission without any warning or protest, and they did it in retaliation for the video. That is what the fighters said at the time, speaking emotionally of their anger at the video without mentioning Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or the terrorist strikes of 11 years earlier. And it is an explanation that tracks with their history as members of a local militant group determined to protect Libya from Western influence.
..... and then....
United States intelligence agencies have reserved final judgment pending a full investigation, leaving open the possibility that anger at the video might have provided an opportunity for militants who already harbored anti-American feelings. But so far the intelligence assessments appear to square largely with local accounts.
If the day after an event the CIA tells you what it's initial opinion is, and you give that to the press as the INITIAL opinion of what happened.... you're basically doing what's you're supposed to do. Now, i understand... worthless little piece of shit republicans like you are too fucking stupid to understand that, but that's more of an indictment of your fucking stupidity than anything else.
We had 28 months of Hillary being investigated (after 8 prior investigations on the same subject), and there were no charges. 28 months of Ivanka being investigated,and we'll see if there are any charges to be had. The hypocrites in this case would be all the whiny little bitches who foamed at the mouth for Hillary to be investigated (she was), but for Ivanka to not be investigated.
What needs to happen is you to pull your head out of your ass and learn what words mean before using them.
You are,truly and by far, a complete fucking idiot. In 2020 there's 21 GOP seats up compared to only 11 DNC. In 2022 another 22 GOP seats compared to 11 DNC. Seriously, do you even have a functioning brain cell left?
Yet the judges seem to think that the lawsuits against him have enough merit to continue. And when he goes through deposition, his tax returns will come out. Anyone with a clue can see what's going on, which begs the question... why are you such a fucking clueless idiot?
We won't know if she emailed any classified material for at least 28 months. Then again, anything else we find... like her receiving preferential treatment for her trademarks from China will also be know by then too.
You dumbshit neo-nazi GOP cunts always seem to set up strawmen just to knock them down. Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and try living in reality instead?
Because this site has a lot of neo-nazi fascist wannabe's that keep posting bullshit about Trump being good. When they simply start not allowing political threads, it'll be a far better site.... however, some of those neo-nazi fascists are mods who feel the need to stroke themselves, so/. is basically fucked.
YES actually reading the statue means we have to move the goalposts for the stupid fucks who can't read, yet continue to say really stupid fucking things. Pull your head out of your ass for once in your life.
She'll only be able to offer those up after 2 years and 4 months of investigations into EVERYTHING that anyone suggests, including all of her business dealings with China, and how her trademarks got approved days after the China's government got beneficial treatment from her father.
There were 8 investigations COMPLETED prior to the house investigation, and none of them found any wrongdoing. The house investigation was 2 years and 4 months; it was longer than the congressional probes into 9/11, Watergate, the JFK assassination and Pearl Harbor. During Bush Jr's terms, there were 39 attacks or attempted attacks on embassies or staff, with 87 deaths. The cumulative amount of time spent on congressional investigations of these 39 attacks: 0 mins.
On Fox news (Sept 29, 2015), Kevin McCarthy (Republican) stated: “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today?”
The house Benghazi investigation was never anything more than the GOP abusing their offices to damage Hillary in the upcoming presidential race because they knew she was running. Anyone who's not a complete fucking idiot could see that, but sadly, we have a lot of complete fucking idiots in this country.
What will help the DNC win elections is the GOP not repressing the vote, and if we went to a simple algorithm for a mathematical, computer based system to eliminate gerrymandering. It would also help if cunt conservatives like you gave a fuck about the United States... but that's obviously way too much to ask. Why do you hate the United States so much, cunt?
It's really all about how much stuff you can see through. 4261 doesn't have spiral arms, so seeing the very center is possible. It'd be the same for a spiral that we were viewing face on. A side-on view of a spiral is just too much junk to see through.
In that picture, that halo effect is just matter in the accretion disc; the event horizon is deep inside that little bright point at the very center.... and obscured to us by all the matter that makes up that bright point.
I'm not sure how it relates to Opportunity, or Mars, or the weather on Mars effect on said rover....or anything else here, but lets see what we can do.
If you look at a galaxy with an AGN that is side-on to us, you would indeed be able to see the debris field surrounding the black hole just like you can with HGC 4261..... IF you could see through the galaxies arms, which would be much denser, much larger, and have a shit ton more matter. One thing you have to realize in that picture... you're not seeing the event horizon... you're only seeing stuff outside of the horizon.
Most all large galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers, so yes, every side-on galaxy you see in a picture is also a side on view of it's central SMBH and the debris field around it, you just can't see it because the entire galaxy is in the way. In fact, because we're in one of the arms of the Milky Way, looking at our own SMBH (Sgr A*) is looking at it side-on.
