Thank you professor, Now I understand Brent!

Trump's debating style is called "Gish Galloping" (look it up). It consists of making as many incoherent, unconnected, untrue and unprovable statements as possible in the time available (and more) knowing that any reasoned rebuttal is impossible. It is apparent that he spouts rubbish when you read a transcript, but his base is most unlikely to do that.

Of course. Brent's particular pocket of the right wing really has no other agenda other than "fuck you." Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck immigrants. Fuck Disney! Cancel them! Fuck climate change. Fuck vaccines, science, evolution, trans people, being woke, renewable energy, Whoopi Goldberg, CNN and women's rights. They take this approach because it works with a large percentage of conservatives. Many are never happier than when they can say "fuck you!" to someone who they think might be smarter/more successful/more aware than they are.

The younger generation doesn’t have to be screwed at all. The United States is seriously underpopulated and lots of people want to move there. Of course some people might not like the colour of most of them. But solving the demographics problem is easy if you want to.

They must have been blinded by the sweet sweet money coming from MyPillow, tactical sunglasses and at-home catheter advertisements

Did it ever occur to Fox that if they behaved like a legitimate news organization, they could attract viewers from the entire general public, instead of only the subset of gullible fools?

After all, most jumpers don’t read the waivers they sign repeatedly, because they know what the waiver says: “If you don’t sign this, you can’t jump.” Wendy P.

That's because about 70% of Republicans are too stupid to realize that Fox "News" is in fact Fox Entertainment. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/70-percent-republicans-falsely-believe-stolen-election-trump/

She also used to refer to the "reich wing", which I though was over the top. But with all that has happened in the past 6 years, I now realize she was absolutely correct.

I've heard that big US defense companies salivate when their guaranteed profit contracts are released. Then they get together and have lemon twists in their martinis to celebrate. Sweet.

Winsor, can you explain why what funjumper posted is denial? It’s an aspiration, certainly not reality, but I’d rather aspire to better than worse. Wendy P.

Not the US, but yet another pro-gun guy killed by his own gun. A pro-gun lawyer in Brazil walked into an MRI room with his gun stuck in his waistband. It was pulled out by the magnet and then shot him fatally in the abdomen as it was departing the vicinity. Will be hard for pro-gun types to explain how this is an example of "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Perhaps in this case it's "guns don't kill people, MRI magnets kill people." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/brazil-lawyer-death-mri-gun-b2279514.html#Echobox=1676003789
