He said that as a source of pride?

Maybe I should cancel my trip to London this weekend. I guess the underground and nightclubs aren't a good idea right now and I should stay at home. B...

Interesting stats from here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ There are 94,170 cases and 3,219 deaths, putting the case fatality rate at 3.4...

"Thank you"

It won't be zero for three. The GAO concluded that withholding aid was illegal and even Republicans like Romney and Rubio accepted that it was impeach...

I supported the investigation into Russia's connections with the Trump campaign because the FBI believed there to be sufficient justification to open ...

Therefore something is necessary?

Metaphysical realism is the position that the nature of (some) things and the truth of (some) statements is independent of how people perceive or unde...

Hoax investigation, political theatre, etc. etc. All that stuff you were saying about the House investigation into Trump's impropriety, except this ti...

Sure, we could find a cure in which case the case fatality rate will drop significantly. But all we have to go on right now is the case fatality rate ...

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ 89,856 cases, 3,069 deaths. 3.415% OK, it's even more than 2%.

Swine flu killed 150,000 - 575,000 people with 700 - 1,400 million infected. It had a case fatality rate of 0.01 - 0.08%. Let's hope that COVID-19 wit...

Two percent isn't low. I'd say flu's 0.1% is low.

Trust me, Boris Johnson makes himself look bad. :lol:

"Let me just say, I have an intention to be the most litigious chair in history," McDaniel said. "I think what Democrats have done systematically to t...

What do you mean by this? In what way are Johnson, Merkel, Macron, etc. failing to “compete” with Trump?

As I understand it that ruling only applies to the specific States under that Court’s jurisdiction. Three comparable Circuits have ruled against the T...

Spent 2 months in Siem Reap a few years ago. Probably my favourite place.

Whereabouts? Went to Thailand recently. Loved it and want to move back there.

How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu?

No, I'm saying that the term "incel" is typically used to refer to the subset of involuntary celibate people who are bitter and angry and post about i...

It's risen since 2013, but is lower than any period between 1990 and 2006. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191226/reported-forcible-rape-rate-in-t...

Or perhaps the Obama-appointed judges were judging the law correctly and any Trump-appointees who judge differently are being activists.

I think it's worth noting that the term "incel" means a bit more than just being involuntarily celibate. The term "incel" tends to refer to the people...

It's only insightful if it's accurate, but what evidence do you have that it's accurate? Aggressive people have a greater tendency to break the law an...

So being aggressive has nothing to do with celibacy, it just has something to do with being male? A work of fiction, not a documentary.

OK, but how does that entail that men are made aggressive by celibacy?

I believe the report is based on the Gallup World Poll that uses this methodology.

They actually do that on page 39. The change from 2005-2008 to 2016-2018 was -0.446. 112th out of 132 for happiness increase. Definitely not good. We ...

Actually...

Not higher than any other time. Just the highest since 1942. /uploads/resized/files/ph/oos1q9fvxpwb771h.png When was US society at its best? 2000 when...

I reckon that only a minority of people who are involuntarily celibate are aggressive. And of those that are, I doubt having sex is going to calm them...

Because there isn't one. Some people prefer monogamy, some polyamory, some celibacy. There's no such thing as "right" or "wrong", just "right for me" ...

When wasn't it shit?

Like what? Besides, there's crap radio and TV that has nothing to do with "multiculturalism & identity." Sometimes writers, directors, and actors just...

With what? Russian interference has never gone away.

And 11(?) others who didn’t. The evidence was clearly sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Was that the picture with the crosshairs on her h...

Even if it were an “unjust fishing expedition” - which it wasn’t as determined by the IG after his investigation - that’s no excuse for lying to the F...

Why? He’s guilty. And it’s less than the recommended sentence anyway.

He chose to escape prosecution and hide out in an embassy for years.

What's even more confusing is that the new prosecutor is the one who signed the revised recommendation, and when asked about this refused to answer:

Rohrabacher confirms he offered Trump pardon to Assange for proof Russia didn't hack DNC email So is Rohrabacher lying now when he says that he didn't...

The new prosecutors in the Stone case are asking the court to apply the enhancements that the original prosecutors asked for, contrary to what the rev...

Technically you're an extension of the British penitentiary system, so you really should have said Western Europe.

You're missing "none" as an option for the last question.

There were a couple of drug-related clemencies. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/19/politics/trump-pardons-commutations/index.html

What's a leaker trap?

Or think a little less.
