Three democrats voted against. Speaking of investment, DNC dark money is huge right now. The PACs are working overtime for a return on it.

Given your political views and support it’s no wonder you want to deflect from the topic. Your credibility has decreased the impact of your arguments.

You appear to be making this up as you go along. I’m willing to discuss the topic and defend my views if you’re ever interested.

“The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interfere...

Sorry, I mean to say they claimed quantum supremacy. Whether they actually did has already been disputed.

There was this long investigation by a man named Robert Mueller that found no such crime, namely, because no such crime existed in the first place.

The conspiracy that Trump is a Manchurian candidate, that he colluded with Russia, made it to the highest parts of the government. To the chagrin of m...

I’m more optimistic. I don’t think we should fear falsity because of its relation to truth. The rise in falsity and misinformation coincides with the ...

They achieved quantum supremacy. This is worth a discussion in its own right, but not the intended topic of discussion.

Not a lie. General counsel of the OMB released a legal memo explaining why: “For decades, OMB has routinely used its apportionment authority to preven...

It’s not because he’s a Democrat, but because his son was being payed vast sums of cash by a corrupt Ukrainian company while his father was the point ...

Yes I understand the difference, but I don’t see how it is trivial or how pointing it out is counterproductive. A Nobel laureate being ostracized and ...

Yeah I don’t get the whole idea that one cannot investigate the corruption of a political rival because it might ruin his political chances. Do you th...

He temporarily withheld it, which is legal and something they do all the time, and assisting Ukraine in tackling corruption is an obligation of treaty...

Clinton committed perjury, a crime. Andrew Jackson violated acts and allegedly the constitution. Either way they were acquitted. How has Trump abused ...

I meant partisan. Well, no, none of the articles of impeachment are mentioned in the constitution, and none of what he has done warrants removal, or e...

It’s a political process, not a judicial one. The idea that only Dems can be partisan is absurd.

Right, the inquiry was fair, the senate trial is unfair. Of course the senate trial hasn’t happened yet, and the inquiry was a Democrat show trial.

No, she wants an unfair trial, the same as the inquiry.

Trump is so much an existential threat to national security and “our democracy” that she doesn’t want the trial to proceed at the pace of the inquiry.

In American society, only a small fringe of privileged progressives believe political correctness is a good thing. The vast majority fear and dislike ...

You might not care that a scientist’s name and feats were dragged through the mud for wearing a shirt, but the idea that talking about it dumbs down t...

Well, as you know, Trump’s been impeached on Trumped up charges, none of which are mentioned in the constitution. This is historic. I hope a trial occ...

What I’m trying to argue is that we should resist the pressure on science to conform to a limited, ever-changing and infantilizing lexicon of speech, ...

I think it’s totally appropriate because I’m not offended by his shirt. It’s just a collared shirt with cartoons on it. It’s common sense.

I never said anything like that. I think that shirt is appropriate given the venue. You don’t. So why do you think it is inappropriate? Is it because ...

What do you think about their taking issue with the term and their justifications for doing so? Are they right? Are they wrong?

I wouldn’t, no. Look I know you want to make me look silly, but is that argument coming any time soon?

Yes I think it’s appropriate.

I wouldn’t tell them it was inappropriate. I wouldn’t tell them this because 1) I am not prim and wish not to promote that behavior to anyone, and 2) ...

I am not, no. Look, let’s discuss the topic. I’m willing to hear your argument. As far as I know you think the shirt is inappropriate for the venue. D...

I wouldn’t tell them that, no.

If you don’t want to discuss it I get that. Perhaps it’s not high-brow enough for you. But I think that because it dumbs down public discourse is one ...

I would simply tell them the president has every right to wear the clothing he chooses even if we don’t like it because that freedom is more important...

I don’t think that is appropriate, no. But if he did I would defend his right to do so as I would anyone else.

No I’m saying people can decide on their own the appropriateness of their attire no matter what I think is appropriate or not.

Actually you avoided my point, proving your own efforts to dumb down the discourse.

No I’m saying people can decide on their own the appropriateness of their attire.

It’s “inappropriate”? Like it was once inappropriate for women to wear trousers? I don’t think his shirt was inappropriate at all. What I do think is ...

Then what’s the problem with “wearing a sexually charged t-shirt”? It didn’t hinder his job at all. If it is simply a matter of not liking the t-shirt...

Far-right? That’s a lie, but I appreciate the concern. I find policing what people wear is far more offensive and inappropriate than a rocket scientis...

The whistleblower alleges that Trump made “a specific request that the Ukrainian leader locate and turn over servers used by the Democratic National C...

Do you remember the time when the rocket scientist Matt Taylor successfully landed a spacecraft on a comet? We all should, yet the amazing accomplishm...

That’s not true. Most Americans at least oppose it, right and left young and old, and every shade of color. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/...

That’s a fair analysis. I appreciate it. Though I cannot think of one thing he could be impeached for—they were trying to impeach him before he even s...

My point is that science should remain ideology-free and scientists should have free reign to use the words they see fit. The threat from the religiou...

Political correctness and the use of euphemism in science has nothing to do with politics. Political correctness is reviled by both left and right.

It is science. “Quantum Supremacy” is a technical term in quantum computing. The word “supremacy” still has meaning outside the context of race and co...

It’s complete speculation. Democrat megalomania and duplicity was made apparent in their emails. Given the flimsy case it is almost certain to be poli...
