      It figures they would do that after your "Walking Dead" incident. I mean they probably have half a library of laws put in place because of you.

        When I first heard about it while still a teen I thought it was just a money making scheme. The morticians had a very powerful lobby back then.

        Then later, back in the mid 1990s, there was a massive flood in the southern part of the state nearly 500 coffins were forced out of what was supposed to have been their final resting places in two cemeteries by pressure from underground streams on land already over-saturated with water.

        Suddenly heavier caskets sorta made sense.

        I'm always still in trouble again

                Non sequitur means it does not logically follow. "out of sequence"

                insulting someone is not an "ad hominem" if it isn't used to dismiss their argument. MM merely made a snide remark about people in general. He was not rejecting anyone's argument and was in fact just responding to a snide comment YOU made. So it was not ad hominem. Therefore Charles's comment was non sequitur.

                Happy?

                    Some of my coworkers were laughing about this at lunch yesterday until I informed them that Trump never actually said it. They looked at me in stunned silence and said, "He didn't?" I said, "No, go track down the original story. There's zero substantiation. It's nothing but a 'sources say' rumor."

                    The ironic thing is that just a few minutes earlier, they were laughing about how only gullible people are fooled by fake news.

                      It's like the "man on the street" interviews where they ask for somebody's opinion about something nutty somebody said -- they'll slip it into a conversation about Trump, then when the people scoff and mock the stupidity of the statement, they'll reveal it was actually Obama or Pelosi who said it.

                      The resulting "dumb looks" are priceless.

                        Well yes. TDS is nothing more than an attempt to dehumanize and trivialize the concerns of people that disagree with you about Trump. It's juvenile, and its degrading. And you all love doing it oh so much.

                            It's easy to make people look stupid if you purposefully mislead them. Most people are not expecting to be set up to be mocked by the people that are talking to them. Sorry you think that is a funny thing to do.

                              It's an attempt to show what a bias they have, Jim.

                              It only happens when they ignorantly glom on to something that supports their own bias - otherwise, it wouldn't work.

                              Sorry you think that is a funny thing to do.

                              It appears you're having a particularly bad day --- I'll stop responding to you again for a while.

                                What is sad is you dragging this out, which is pure ad hominem.

                                It is a simple fact that the use of TDS is degrading and dehumanizing, and it is used here constantly as a means to dismiss legitimate comments made by people known to have a poor opinion of Trump. Why not ditch it and actually come up with a fact based, logically sound rebuttal for whatever was said that was dismissed as "TDS"?
