He is a self confessed right wing white supremacist. How you get 'liberal' from that is pretty delusional I'd say.

The first mass shooting in NZ in 22 years. Prime Minister vows 'our gun laws will change'... What? No 'thoughts and prayers'?? Actual change promised in response to mass murders??? I'm shocked. SHOCKED that such a thing is even considered possible. My time in the US has taught me that the proper response to such events is to hope they stop happening. She's probably a communist. And a lesbian.

What are the user numbers looking like on the back end? Maybe it's just me, but it looks like a whole bunch of people who I've not seen around here in ages have been posting more after the update.

I'm actually surprised that the FAA haven't jumped on this and it's really suspicious to me. Pretty much all other major aviation authorities have either grounded the 737 MAX or banned it from their airspace... Every single EU member state, India, China, Canada, Iraq - the list goes on and on. Look at the attached image: This morning there were only 33 737 MAX's flying and none of them were going to destinations outside the US.

To be fair, you can't prove a negative.

Unless your attitude and beliefs change, it's not. I will say that I've read a couple of incel forums and hope to christ you don't associate with anyone from those places. It'll only warp your view of women even more.

When literally everybody in a random sample is saying that you are then I'd maybe your priority should be figuring out WHY they're saying that.

Being married to a very, very smart woman who would think you under the table I thought I'd leave this here: http://www.aei.org/publication/women-earned-majority-of-doctoral-degrees-in-2017-for-9th-straight-year-and-outnumber-men-in-grad-school-137-to-100-2/ "Women earned majority of doctoral degrees in 2017 for 9th straight year and outnumber men in grad school 137 to 100" (Bold mine) The only areas where men significantly outnumber women in higher education are physical and computer sciences, and engineering. Every other field is female dominated. Even business is pretty much even. I'm not sure where you got these beliefs of yours but you're not looking in the right places for data, that's for sure. It's becoming more and more evident to me that the idea that women are in general 'weaker' in anything but brute strength is simply a holdover from stereotypes that simply prevented women from competing fairly against 'mens stuff', thereby perpetuating the stereotype.

I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s a shut-in and has never met more than one or two women in his life. Nothing else explains this level of absurdity except trolling.

This thread started off utterly ridiculous with the original post and has devolved into full on crazy.

It's the art of the deal. Demand something. Storm out like a petulant child when you don't instantly get your way... This is EXACTLY the behavior I'm getting from my 2 year old at the moment. Seriously.

And given that apparently when told they can do that juries bias their application of nullification it’s probably for the best that it keeps getting knocked down... IMO, obviously.

And here's the problem. You want an opinion. You want that opinion to be taken seriously... But you're too lazy to actually do the research that is required to actually generate an informed opinion.

and I'm really pissed off with all the pre-prepared statements by the panel... What's the point of you being there if you're just going to make a blanket denunciation regardless of anything that is being said in the moment, you fucking arsemonkeys? This whole thing is a bit of a farce.

Is it just me who wishes Cohen would respond to the continual 'this is just for the purpose of creating a political circus' comments with "Senator, with the greatest respect I'm telling the truth. If this is a circus then you're creating it."?

I only caught the opening but it did jump out that he asked explicitly for 'protection for my family from presidential threats'... No one in a first world country should have to be worried about their leader directly targeting an individual for personal recrimination after testifying. The office of the president should be above shit like this.

A Smart person would want to see all of them. Why don't you?

Jury selection is the elephant in the room when it comes to 'will of the people'. I wonder if proper randomization wouldn't be fairer?

Thanks!

Really good video on it here: Personally it seems to me that more people would use it as a 'fuck you' or just for a laugh if they were told about it than as an actual check on an injust situation. That's just human nature. That being the case people probably shouldn't be told about it. Edit: how do I put a web link in without the new forum automatically embedding the video?? I hate stuff like this.

I’ve never understood the point of posts like these, on any forum. Its a free world. Nobody is making you post here so if you don’t like it anymore just move on. Why make a ‘thing’ about it??

Want to bet? To be clearer, I’m sure something will get built to assuage Trumps ‘win’, despite it not being what he promised, or for the cost he promised, or effective. It won’t be ‘The Wall(tm)’.

President of the US chooses not to be involved in discussions over the sole point that kept nearly a million people without paychecks last month, but prioritizes public rallies. Awesome. Just goes to show that Trump's much more interested in the fame than the hard work of governance.

Send him to a leper colony for a while. Pretty sure he'll start believing in microbes then. Why are the trees moving????! Must be magic. Taking pictures of bones? Certainly not invisible radiation. Doesn't exist.

What the fuck has this got to do with the topic at hand? AND it breaks the forum rules by simply posting links. Again.
