Yeah, I knew that quine was mosesquine but forgot that mosesquine had been banned. I just thought he'd changed his name. But I was quick to pick up on...

No. My point still stands. If there's not enough order in a pile of rocks to infer the existence of some human who placed them where they are then the...

You seem to go from "most of history's leaders were men" to "men are more effective leaders". That doesn't follow. Unless there's an implicit premise ...

If the universe is ordered then even a pile of rocks is ordered, and so it is reasonable to infer that someone placed those rocks where they are. But ...

Or your eyes got older and you now need glasses.

You're probably deaf then.

Polls have a poll, like the one you've just done. Questions allow you to accept a particular reply as an answer. For example, I've accepted this reply...

I think she's saying that it's unethical to break the law.

Unethical to smoke marijuana?

Yep. Damn Christians.

Oh really? I certainly didn't know that Captain Obvious.

Thanks. And a belated happy birthday to the two of you.

OK, I'm ready to agree with you on this now. May's nonsense desire to control and undermine the Internet is a big deal and needs to be stopped.

Now, he's a sign of dementia.

Cool, England won the FIFA World Cup.

Not true. Also "I", "am", "we", and "are". Raccoon.

Huh. In the 2015 election, the winner of the North East Fife constituency had a majority of 4,344. Last night the winner had a majority of 2. The smal...

Dunno, I Googled "are guns allowed in schools" and the title of the second result starts with "Texas will allow guns on campus starting August 1" and ...

Allowed in schools but not in bear country? Have I ever mentioned how backwards you lot are?

Just shoot 'em.

I start mine today. Although it's a stay-at-home vacation.

Yeah. If the rich have this much money to waste then they can afford having their taxes raised. You make an excellent point. (Y)

7 point lead. http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/09/ajc-poll-ossoff-opens-lead-over-handel-in-georgias-6th/

I thought it was $30,000,000 spent in total, not just by the Democrats. Edit: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/09/us/politics/ossoff-handel-georgia-hou...

Yeah, but the DUP have agreed to vote with the Tories in exchange for the Tories voting with them.

I don't think so much. They were pretty recent and a few days after each attack they suspended any campaigning. But to be honest I wasn't paying much ...

I'd guess a Conservative minority government. Although if the Greens and Plaid Cymru also join then the coalition. But the Lib Dems have said that the...

@"Sapientia", seen the exit poll? Conservatives lead but without a majority. Just what I wanted (excluding my unreasonable hopes). ;)

I thought he was very clear about his motivations:

I didn't realise these were mutually exclusive. Surely every politician, government official, and so on seeks to keep their job and to serve the count...

Yes? I don't understand your point.

Yeah, that's why he was intimidated by Trump. He was worried that he'd be fired.

You're a lawyer. Isn't that exactly how you work? Nobody's above the law, right? If a shopkeeper would be punished for obstructing justice then so sho...

As far as I'm aware, it would still be a crime. Just as escaping from prison after a wrongful conviction is a crime. But then you're the lawyer, not m...

Maybe if it led to imprisonment. Less so if it's just a removal from office. Surely having a criminal as President is worse than having an innocent ma...

You didn't withhold judgement. You claimed that there was no evidence, that the entire thing is a witch hunt and an attempt at obstruction, and that "...

Saitama could beat him too.

Nobody cares about DBZ. Everbody knows that Superman could beat Goku in a fight.

It is Congress' job to focus on the issue. That's exactly what the House and Senate Intelligence Committees are for.

I do dispute what you said. You said that "the media and the Democrats cannot let go". But that's not the story. The story is that the Trump campaign ...

Which is what I said. Right, so this isn't something that Comey said. It's just something that you're saying.

You changed the wording here. First you said "Comey ... asserted that there was no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to tamper wit...

That's not the same as changing the votes. From the transcript:

Comey said that Trump was not the target of a counterintelligence investigation and that no votes were changed. He didn't say that the Trump campaign ...

About what? And why do you think that?

Even if there was irrefutable evidence of obstruction or perjury or the like I'd put the odds at 0% so long as the Republicans have the majority.

Not a mind-reader. All I know is that he was surprised when it happened, and first thought it was a prank.

It's standard practice. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/17/us/politics/james-comey-memos-fbi-culture.html?_r=0

Yep. I doubt they'll veer away from the main topic. There'll still be classified stuff that he legally can't say. And I believe he's spoken to Mueller...

Nope. Reckon it'll just be what was in his opening testimony, which isn't anything we haven't heard from anonymous sources before. Although the fact t...
