That is a fun fact. As Science Officer on the Starship Speakers Corner to what would you attribute such a beneficial change? More Tesla's? Increased numbers of Cetaceans slapping their tails? Bummed out Parisians staying home and sulking? Inquiring minds, you know.
-
So now you're a sociologist, too? Has your fascination as a quantum theorist caused you to wonder why the truth always seems to happen somewhere else whenever you're there?
-
Yes, the free media coverage was probably decisive. However, the media probably couldn't have done it using you or me. Trump was already Trump and came stage ready with a media presence. We could have a chicken or egg disagreement on this for a long time, I reckon.
-
And that is why the hope of instant bipartisanship in the year 2021 is doomed to fail.

Ron, there was no Republican cave on the election. Trump lost big and not a scintilla of evidence to the contrary has yet been presented. In court case after court case Republican judges tossed out Trumps unsupported cases, the majority of which did not claim fraud. You were not robbed. You lost. Show the evidence or accept defeat.

I'm not quite to the position where I see fixing the current political and societal divide as analogous to a corporate team building exercise. The republicans are past masters at fleecing well meaning democrats. On day one they were already proposing the D's relinquish certain powers and put unity before their policies. And all of the deluded conspiracy theorists, by and large, are still deluded conspiracy theorists. I, for one, have no intention of wearing a tin foil hat to demonstrate my happy go lucky desire to get along. I say screw them all as they did us and accept the reality that in 2 years we may not hold the senate or house and Kamala Harris may be president. We need to get while the getting is good. No quarter and no pretense of quarter, either.

Honestly, I feel like feeling for groups that we feel feel marginalized like the Q group is way over done. It's just as easy, or easier, to see the selfish agenda behind their actions than it is to believe they're just poor souls lost in a sea of societal changes. I'll spend my soft spot moments feeling for the groups they've been hammering like the LBGTQ and hard working immigrant communities.
-
I sincerely doubt that. Q believers are a product of marketing, no more. A percentage of humans are wired to believe. Just like fat people grabbing an Almond Joy because they get two healthy nuts that make it possible to ignore all of the rest of the crap they are swallowing, so goes the lives of the credulous. They believe because they need to believe. It only takes a thin reason and the planted belief that they are in on the secret to bend them to the will of their manipulators.

Bingo. They know how to play the game.

That's your definition of truth? At the end of the day your bitch is that the election was stolen from Trump. Why not take some time off from patting your back over food bank work and give us the proof? If it's true, Ron, there is proof. It's not something you just know is true that feels oh, so good, it's something with evidence you can show. But you can't, can you? Truly there is nothing there but what you need to believe. The thing is that it isn't benign. It's a very bad thing that people believe things without proof.

That would be United States Senator Rafael Edward Cruz who was born in Canada and, I'm guessing here, chose Ted as a nickname so as to not sound too Canadian? He's also a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School and is obviously well within his rights, based on the evidence, to demand a full tuition refund.
-
You are right and you put it well. Just don't believe for a single second that airdvr is open to an alternative world view. He was just saying, "see, I told you so" to himself and his like believers. He must, otherwise he'd need to admit his positions were both extreme and extremely wrong. That's just the way it is.
-
Yep, and tomorrow it's forced gay marriage and the enslavement of Ohio.

I shudder to think what would happen to Brent if there were a CO2 shortage.

Africa to build thousands of coal fired power plants

I'm pretty sure most became wing suiters and the rest kite boarders. -
Africa to build thousands of coal fired power plants
JoeWeber replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
I often wonder what happened to all of the Boarders. -
There is a lot of truth in that, I'm certain.
-
That's the thing. It was always there in front of our faces if we only stopped to look. No media required. How any Trump supporter can say anything in support of their votes after the Trump fomented insurrection at the nations Capitol with the goal of overturning a legitimate Presidential election is a sad commentary. You would think that would be a line no one would cross but apparently not.
-
Trump was not a product of the media. Trump was a product of Trump. Just because quite a number of voters took so long, or in many cases never, to see him for what he is is no fault of the media.
-
And you think that is his counsel to the troubled people he claims to help? That they should not face the truth and the consequences of their actions but to simply forget all of that and follow the Lord? Not a chance. If he has truly had 2 minutes of training he knows that unless he gets the client to the position where they think, "ya' that was dumb, I really shouldn't have done that or I really shouldn't have seen things that way or similar" they won't get better.
-
That's warm and fuzzy but shouldn't he also be acknowledging a little truth before asking the rest of us to give absolution to everyone passing out canned food?
-
Alright, I given you a pass several times now. Sometimes people lose arguments. Your arguments are often very loose. That, yo, is the critical difference.
-
Ron, for the zillionth time there was no evidence of fraud or any other wrong doing with the vote. Trump simply suffered a resounding defeat on election day. 60 court cases and even his own Attorney General say so. Sometimes you need to just step back and see you were wrong.

Trump Officials Banned from China after Biden Swearing in

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys---and their families and the institutions and business they associate with. That's a serious hammering. -
Trump Officials Banned from China after Biden Swearing in
JoeWeber posted a topic in Speakers Corner
Well, this comeuppance didn't take long. Pompeo will have a hard time running for President while he's banned from China, I'm guessing. Now for Ivanka's trademarks. "The Chinese government is firmly resolved to defend China's national sovereignty, security and development interests. China has decided to sanction 28 persons who have seriously violated China's sovereignty and who have been mainly responsible for such U.S. moves on China-related issues," the spokesperson said. "They include Michael R. Pompeo, Peter K. Navarro, Robert C. O'Brien, David R. Stilwell, Matthew Pottinger, Alex M. Azar II, Keith J. Krach, and Kelly D. K. Craft of the Trump administration as well as John R. Bolton and Stephen K. Bannon." "These individuals and their immediate family members are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China. They and companies and institutions associated with them are also restricted from doing business with China," the spokesperson explained.
