Nevertheless, Martin\_Hyde has enthusiastically posted 136 times in this thread which is something like 13% of posts. Has something else changed besides his lies being laid bare? ---

> [@74westy](#): > > Has something else changed besides his lies being laid bare? Nope. That is precisely when he “absconded from the field of battle.” His enthusiastic posting continues elsewhere on the board. Or maybe he’s just forgotten about this thread in the same way he forgot what rank he had when he retired from the military. ---

I’m sure he’ll be back and ignoring every previous post as he once again claims that he has been nothing but rational and unfailingly polite and that everyone else has been a meany meany poopyhead to him. ---

Both of which would exclude most practicing physicians. I don’t necessarily agree with student loan forgiveness, but I think most of the arguments against it are not being made in good faith.

You aren’t energy independent if your economy can’t function without energy imports, that is the very definition of being dependent. This is manifestly dishonest. Angela Merkel’s coalition agreement (which she came to with other parties in her coalition), which was written in 2018 as per German domestic political concerns committed to the build out of LNG terminals. It is certainly true that Trump was in favor of these plans being accelerated and may even be true that it … Interesting how in this thread he calls something manifestly dishonest. lol ---
