If you were in reality a bot, are you confident that you would know?

Short version is that the admin went frEe SPeECh ABsOLutIsT, it went about as well as that kind of thing usually does and most users left.

I’m aware, but I also know that we get a sizable chunk of our imports of garlic and mushrooms from China.

Like I said, it is more than I thought, but less than I expected. Given how global a lot of products are anymore, it wouldn’t have surprised me if it was more than the 2023 numbers showed.

I had to go look it up, it’s more than I thought, but not as much as I ultimately expected. I included all food products for completeness. 2023 numbers:

| product | value | year| |——————————-|———-|———| | Fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatics invertebrates | $1.31B | 2023 | | Animal, vegetable fats and oils, cleavage products | $850.73M | 2023 | | Vegetable, fruit, nut food preparations |$833.00M | 2023 | | Miscellaneous edible preparations | $670.05M | 2023 | | Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers | $358.31M | 2023 | | Meat, fish and seafood preparations | $278.46M | 2023 | | Cereal, flour, starch, milk preparations and products | $248.89M | 2023 | | Coffee, tea, mate and spices | $233.34M | 2023 | | Sugars and sugar confectionery | $204.28M | 2023 | | Oil seed, oleagic fruits, grain, seed, fruits | $171.07M | 2023 | | Edible fruits, nuts, peel of citrus fruit, melons | $131.20M | 2023 |

How much food including fruits and vegetables like garlic or mushrooms do you suspect we import from China?

Sounds like the Boebert crime family is at it again.

It was mainly a media critique. For example This was how The NY Times covered it. Trump’s 68% of the vote is “coasting”

If you ever learned about slavery in the lead up to the U. S. civil war, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t taught (whether or not you remember it is another matter). It was a pretty momentous decision widely recognized as one of the worst in US History. It stated at its basic level in a opinion written by the chief justice (Taney) that Black people could never be citizens of the United States and that Congress had no authority to stop or limit the spread of slavery into American territories.

I guess if you were in a school where you learned the “War of Northern Aggression” was over states rights it’s possible.

Weird, how you keep taking this out of context from what I actually said. I said learn about, which, if you learned about Dred Scott, you very likely learned about the court decision under that court, you already openly acknowledged that most people would even be able to remember that outside of when they originally learned about it most likely in some sort of educational setting.

I never said anything about remembering trivia questions later in life, my point was only that they would learn about it (via its notable decisions) someday in a most likely school-like setting. Do you want to continue arguing about stuff I never said?

Weird how I specified the court (and thus their notable rulings which is generally how we discuss the court) under the person then and not the person themselves in my original comment and you still figured I was speaking about the individual person.

Biden gets 80% of the vote = political suicide Trump gets 60% of the vote = massive victory.

?🤔?

At minimum, I remember spending a full day on Dred Scott in social studies in middle school. Some time between high school and college I learned about his secessionist views and fights with Lincoln.

My grandkids will learn about the Robert’s court in the same breath as Roger B. Taney’s.

I’m pretty sure Kentucky passed a bill saying that the replacement must be of the same party.

I’m pretty up on news and the social media cycle around it. Literally no one said it proved he was innocent, almost everyone I saw had a take that was some variation of “look how dumb the prosecution is trying to push this so hard. They are making stupid mistakes trying to make this a big thing. ” Can you link to someone of substance, mainstream media or even a large follower count saying something otherwise?

What’s next, shorts, CoLLArEd ShiRTs, TIES‽

Where does this madness end‽

You can have my “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Hey, thanks. That’s the quality of other sources I asked for so many hours ago. Weird that took so long.
