If this aberration now turns out to be the "go forward" default world view of the majority of US citizens post the November 3rd Clash Of Clowns (tm), then God help you all. Too late--cherry-picking one or two instanes and concluding that "every one that side engages in this/supports ...

Gunn can turn a terrible idea into a great movie--most people's first reaction to "they are making a Guardians of the Galaxy movie" ranged from "why?" to "who?" to "oh god it's going to be so terrible". Turned out to be a critical success and the second-highe...

In what way is something like the CHOP/CHAZ episode not lawlessness? They effectively declared themselves independent from both Washington and the United States. Now, on the one hand it was good enough for the U. S. in general but if those people want to effect local change then run for city counci...

I concur and will be moving the posts later.

No one has time to debunk all the shit you post! Why do you feel the need to debunk anything he posts? If he posts wild conspiracy theories or outright misinformation, it is up each individual to figure that out for themselves. And if you rule THAT out (these rules seem very very specific, as if th...

Job losses. They led the drive to shut down the economy when there was no legitimate cause to do so. Now we have the recession they so desperately wanted in 2019.

Unfortunately, the only actual way to correct it is to end it. But that's impossible, right? Damned near impossible, unfortunately. Good luck changing human nature--collectively we have been racist against each other since....well, since skin tone variations occurred. Even if we got a wish from the...

Mentioning something as an off-hand comment is not the same thing as "directing". No hate group takes its orders directly from Trump, as you well know. Still, you may keep playing that card if you so desire but I don't think anyone is paying any attention to it except those who already ha...

And, yes, a moderator's job is to ask the candidates tough questions. The problem is that no one is asking Biden any tough questions. "Did he agree with Obama's decision to assassinate an American citizen without due process?" "What about the now-corroborated e-mail messages on Hunte...

Trump's town hall event: this was more of a cross-examination by a hostile prosecutor than a "town hall" and included many instances of "begging the question" such as "why won't you denounce white supremacy?". The afternoon radio show here played a 10-minute clip of Tr...

Hashi said that people from Italy had no slaveholders in their ancestry. ur-Nanothnir pointed out that they did, and why that was so. No, I pointed out that this guy's family had no history of owning any slaves in the United States and its history . If we going to say "such-and-such is guilty ...

Actually, I was expressing concern that recent events seem to be weighing heavily on your mind and that you probably do not need the added stress. The knowledge that Biden will likely win the White House and that Democrats should retain the House of Representatives should be sufficient to allay you...

"Peaceful transfer of power" means not using the power of your office, and the powers of the offices of your political allies, to cast doubt on the results of the election, or to control the results of the election, or to overturn the results of the election. You mean like how Hillary wea...

Apparently the WHO is now saying that lockdowns are useful only to give your country time to regroup and reorganize, to give protected health workers a break, and are not that that useful at restricting the spread of corona. On the one hand, some of us were saying that six months ago. On the other ...

"Not every white person in the US is descended from a slave owner." Are you absolutely certain of that, though? Yes. I went to school with a guy whose grandparents--all 4 of them--immigrated from Italy during the 1930s. His father from one family, his mother from another family, and final...

While you are at it, care to address what F&F had to say? No, because the officer who was kneeling on that black man's neck was fired and charged with serious crimes. As far as slavery is concerned....it was made illegal in 1863 so that matter is settled. No living person today knew a living re...
