I see NOS is talking in circles again. Don’t look for consistency, folks— there’s no principles to discern. It’s pure political tribalism. When it’s s...

“This will go down in history as #Beyoncegate“ :lol: 24 hours later: totally forgotten.

As compared to a capitalist, whose ideology has killed and enslaved about 10x as many.
August 24, 2024 at 03:45
The free market. The deus ex machina of all crypto-plutocrats. That wonderful abstract bullshit reason given whenever you don’t want the government to...
August 23, 2024 at 13:49
Yeah. I at least applaud that he takes climate change as the existential threat that it is. Maybe that brings some sanity to the Republicans, if only ...
August 23, 2024 at 12:05
I like some of those too, but I was looking for a year.
August 23, 2024 at 10:08
True— but money-grubbing conservatives existed during Romney and McCain’s and Bush and Reagan’s time too. Didn’t see them at the DNC. Then again, thos...

So RFK will drop out on Friday, and will endorse Trump. Big surprise. Shows what a spineless weirdo he always has been, and now solidifies his place a...

It’s not typical to have your former press Secretary tell people to vote against you, no. Even in this country. Trump is just that awful.
August 22, 2024 at 12:37
True.
August 22, 2024 at 01:20
:up: I get it. Trump bring re-elected would be a disaster. I very much hope he loses and will be voting against him. But I still very much dislike the...
August 20, 2024 at 21:26
Sorry buddy— I just don’t see it. Most of these speeches are lame. But it doesn’t really matter.
August 20, 2024 at 15:21
DNC Convention. Boring, but Dems have bigger stars than the Republicans — and the Repubs hate that. Trump most of all— hence the endless talk about cr...
August 20, 2024 at 03:03
So here’s my question: is this satire, or is this what the former president wrote on his social media platform? “Garbage Dump” :rofl:
August 20, 2024 at 02:59
Phil Donohue Another one off the list.
August 19, 2024 at 16:04
Price controls are an excellent idea. Harris keeps surprising me. If she keeps this up, she’ll win easily. The fact that every moronic armchair politi...
August 18, 2024 at 11:28
Maybe stop reading — and regurgitating — the Daily Mail. Several of your numbers are wrong, and it’s obvious to any reader that you’ve bought into the...
August 16, 2024 at 21:44
Whenever you see my previous screen name? :lol: Even your jabs don’t make sense. They can’t all be on the level of reading the NY Post for my opinions...
August 16, 2024 at 14:30
Is the troll still talking? :yawn:
August 16, 2024 at 14:19
Trolls asking troll questions. :yawn:
August 16, 2024 at 14:13
I get your point, but toxicity in general is important. As @"Benkei" pointed out, the cause is mostly the same: profits over people. So the rate at wh...

Harris and Walz will turn the country communist “immediately, if not sooner.” Just a very stable genius, with the best words.
August 16, 2024 at 12:11
Who’s ignoring it? I hear about things like PFAS and microplastics and pesticides, etc., all the time. So I suppose that’s “alarmism” as well. But of ...
August 16, 2024 at 00:42
Co-ops are communist. Think of it that way. Far closer to anything in the USSR or China. Simplified a bit, but it’s one way to think of the matter if ...
August 15, 2024 at 12:42
It’s not ethereal— it’s overwhelmingly supported by evidence, and also happening all around us. The effects are at least as obvious (if not more so) t...
August 15, 2024 at 12:37
:up: Harris’s crowds are big. He doesn’t like that — so it doesn’t exist. He lost the election — but he can’t lose, so it didn’t happen. What’s more p...
August 13, 2024 at 23:41
Oh and thinking Nate Holden was Willie Brown is fantastic too.
August 13, 2024 at 19:13
And a Harris crowd that was AI-generated. Don’t forget that. He’s losing his fucking mind. :lol:
August 13, 2024 at 19:10
Kramer vs. Kramer Good movie, but I don’t see how it was both the best picture winner and top grossing film of 1979. Because it took me so long to wat...
August 13, 2024 at 16:36
It’s awesome that Trump keeps doing interviews because he believes he’s a great speaker. Hope he keeps it up. Nothing could be better for Harris.
August 13, 2024 at 16:15
Sounds good to me. So your point is that Mr Bee can make substantive points, but that you could too if you tried. Cool. Guess you really showed me.
August 13, 2024 at 13:16
Substantive points like… Yeah, you let me know too. You’re the one that said you aren’t very familiar with his policies. So why you’re now arguing abo...
August 13, 2024 at 13:12
A month later, and I was right. As usual. Remember when everyone was saying “he just got elected”? :lol:
August 11, 2024 at 02:20
:up: Same old arguments: communism has killed 100 million people. Capitalism has killed more people and responsible for slavery, but that’s not really...
August 10, 2024 at 20:10
Shocking.
August 09, 2024 at 13:47
I’ve heard nothing from him so far, but as you know he has no principles, so — like with project 2025 — if it becomes a political liability he may jus...
August 08, 2024 at 15:05
Oh boy, I can’t wait to hear more from bland blowhards about how Walz is “too far left” and how Harris should move more to the “middle” because it’s s...
August 08, 2024 at 13:19
Typical Trump cultist response: the guy repeating Fox News talking points accuses his opponent of— wait for it— repeating “talking points.” Predictabl...
August 08, 2024 at 13:11
Can we do away with the “I’m not biased, I’m just a straight shooter.” No one believes that. It’s ridiculous. I’m not a member of either political par...
August 07, 2024 at 13:47
Actually, he’s a great pick and the one thing she’s gotten right so far. Maybe lay off the Fox News.
August 07, 2024 at 02:37
Climate change deniers make up nearly a quarter of US Congress Speaking of Oreskes: Interesting article. They spell it out in undeniable terms. But it...
August 07, 2024 at 02:25
That’s part of it. He’s also very Twitter-minded, and the biggest voices on there are Trump trolls and the alt-right. If it were SNL, it would have be...
August 06, 2024 at 18:38
Glad you liked the book. Yes, it is bizarre, but it’s understandable when you look at it. In the same way that Christian fundamentalists deny evolutio...
August 06, 2024 at 16:09
Because some of the biggest donors to the Republicans are fossil fuel giants. Not only that, but they own think tanks and election infrastructure as w...
August 06, 2024 at 16:03
Wow, she actually made the best choice. I’m surprised, but I’m happy she did it. Now I can spell his name correctly (Walz).
August 06, 2024 at 13:53
Not untenable— stupid.
August 04, 2024 at 18:18
:up: If I lived in a safe state, like Massachusetts, I’d vote for West as well. But since I don’t (I’m in swingy New Hampshire), I’m not throwing my v...
August 04, 2024 at 12:20
So you’ve settled on the tired, fossilized view — that passes as sophisticated but is in fact lazy and absurd — which absolves you of having to know a...
August 04, 2024 at 12:14
:up: It was very easy to predict that Trump, if he lost, would claim it was stolen. He’s been doing it since Ted Cruz won Iowa. And he only lost the p...
