Not possible. Trump doesn’t misspeak and doesn’t lose. When he said Obama was the literal founder of ISIS, repeatedly, he both meant it and didn’t mea...

Suspending all rules of the constitution isn’t the same as suspending the constitution. Talk about Trump derangement syndrome.

So Trump will win New Hampshire tomorrow and will go on to easily win the nomination. Biden will win by mail-in vote, and will easily win the nominati...

If we were rational, mass transit would be a thing in the US. Another stat: cars/vans account for about 50% of transportation emissions. Transportatio...

So you’re also OK with what Hamas did, provided the victims voted for the current terrorist regime in Israel? Good — at least you’re consistent.

Oh, I see. So just no sympathy for those who voted for Hamas 17 years ago and who happened to be murdered now. I stand corrected about your humanity.

I, and many others, have already pointed this out on the Ukraine thread. Just do what everyone else has learned to do: ignore him.

Yeah, those 10,000 babies should have known better. You’re a sick guy.

Yeah— so much time is spent on election deniers that this significant little fact is often overlooked. Trump lost, and lost big. 7 million votes or so...

:up: :lol: Come on.

Everything, everywhere all at once. Best picture winner last year. I have to say: meh.

10,000 children killed so far. 10,000. But Israel isn’t a terrorist state. Hamas hasn’t killed nearly as many children, but their real problem is PR: ...

Endless talk of politicians in January. Must be another one of those 4-year media extravaganzas. Seems easy enough: take one minute, see who the worst...

That’s my plan.

There are several ways to “mention” someone: click the leftward pointing arrow under a post; highlight a portion you wish to quote and hit the “quote”...

So who won? Who’s the next Aeschylus?

:up:

Satchel Paige? Something about not looking back… Anyway, the simple act of walking really has its benefits. I’m seeing that more and more as I get old...

I don’t dispute satire.

:rofl:

Thanks for the reply. This stood out to me in particular. That’s quite an achievement — weighing the same as 20 takes real effort. I need to lay off t...

Right— so where does that go? The NY Supreme Court, ultimately? (Or the equivalent— I think NY has a different setup.)

I’ve always thought bananas foster was flambéd with rum?

So Trumps civil fraud trial concluded today. Assuming he’s on the hook for over $300 million— what happens then? He appeals…but he appeals in NY, righ...

Trump himself is a narcissist and will say and do anything to stay in power and protect his brand. That’s obvious. But the party he’s chosen to attach...

Already skipped after this.

Err…You’re just not fully aware of Plato’s influence, methinks. I think reading the Republic is very worthwhile, especially for anyone interested in p...

What’s gross? What a strange comment.

See How To Write An OP. Issue isn’t topic.

I wanted to add this for anyone else that was curious about why it never came to fruition. This is from Bev Stohl, Chomsky’s long-time assistant: It w...

They’re going to issue a broad ruling stating that he cannot be removed with blah blah blah. It’s foregone. They’ll find some reason — doesn’t matter ...

Of course— this is a thread on that specific topic. Maybe, sure— what’s your point though?

Trump incited an insurrection. True, he's good at plausible deniability, and through in some qualifications and vague terms. But everyone knows what w...

Hamas gives justifications too. So does ISIS. So did the Nazis. According to the United States, the US has only made “blundering efforts to do good,” ...

When are you going to wake up and understand that this entire dichotomy is nonsense. Propaganda, through and through. The killing of 8000 children isn...

Right. But when you predicate these actions on bogus beliefs, it justifies it. If the election was truly stolen — as these clowns believe because Dona...

There are differences, and important ones. Abortion, climate, guns, you name it. But corporate America still dominates both. No labor party or sociali...

I think in the long run, climate stories would be #1. The wars and the strikes would be up there.

Notice I mentioned Twitter. Which has become a huge cesspool itself. A poor diet indeed. Again, I’m not interested in his personality or that he insul...

But this can be argued about Biden too. Do you listen to conservative talk radio or read conservative newspapers editorials — to say nothing of cable ...

It doesn’t hurt, but as I said earlier, it would be nice if it wasn’t often insane and in such bad faith. You say you “test your intuitions.” Fine— bu...

Oh there’s definitely that. Goes nicely with the normal victimization that the right are always peddling.

Doesn’t being a laughingstock who gets repeatedly embarrassed get tiresome? :chin: That’s less a question for you than for the forum. Why do people li...

Let’s move the discussion about political topics, etc., to feedback.

So Hamas was justified? No thank you. I don’t buy that. And Israel kills them — of all ages, in fact. Approaching the tens of thousands. But at least ...

:up:

And Israeli’s killing 8000 children out of love and compassion. As long as good invisible intentions are there, one can kill with impunity.

Happy New Years all.
