Did you know the moon is in freefall? Has been for quite a while. Will be for even longer.
-
And the Republicans will still tell you that silicon valley is a nest of subversive ultra-liberals.
-
What makes you think you have any idea what floor you're on? Your claim is that incredibly drastic action needs to be taken right now or it's too late. But to me an anecdote about the fate of a 250 year old wartime currency of a start-up nation isn't a particularly good reason to think that the US dollar is going to impode tomorrow.
-
Given that you know this is a stupid question you are being intentionally dishonest now. You're saying you can't possibly know anything good about any political candidate unless they have already successfully sponsored legislation or wielded executive power - and if they haven't they're just as bad as an insurrectionist, rapist and fraudster? Get a fucking grip, man.
-
Or alternatively, it wouldn’t.
-
Why would you think that? If you’re so ill informed you think that Harris does nothing at all that you could mention except have an annoying laugh then why are you even bothering to comment? What could you possibly be adding to the conversation?
-
It's so noticeable that no-one, no-one, who says that Harris is so bad has anything but the vaguest of platitudes to offer to explain why she is so bad.
-
What qualities or career achievements would you accept as satisfying the criteria ‘war’?
-
Your point is that you didn’t vote for her because she had a stupid laugh… and that reflects badly on some other people?
-
Because why? Reasons?
-
I’ve heard that view before and it’s an interesting view. The combat leaders they actually had in Normandy and beyond (Winters/Spears) were almost universally loved and/or respected by the men… so the rush to give all the credit to the guy who was a dick is slightly strange to me. But he’s not though, is he? The mass firings have zero connection to DEI, zero connection to performance. He’s ripping acceptable staffing levels out by the roots, period. None of your vague platitudes change how shortsighted, dangerous and ultimately counterproductive and expensive that is.
-
Right, a Democrat or a multiple Felon conman. Tell me again how you’re not one of the most intransigently partisan people here if you think those two things are the same?
-
You mean like 'whatever Trump does Harris is worse'? As fatuous as that?
-
A rapist? An insurrectionist? An election fraudster? A best friend of Putin? A dismantler of NATO? A destroyer of the independence of law enforcment and justice from political control? A normaliser, even legaliser of poitical corruption? A person causing indiscriminate damage to the essential organs of the federal government that will cost countless billions to fix in the short and long term? I mean, what exactly was she worse at?
-
You claimed that spending has no impact on the economy but taxes do. You have no evidence for this and you are plain wrong. We both know you are wrong, because you just agreed with Bill that Trump’s spending cuts will drive the US towards recession. Everything else you said in the post I was replying to relies on the assumption that what you said about taxes and spending is true. It’s not true, you know it’s not true, so nothing else you said needs a response.
-
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. And since you’ve now agreed with Bill that what you said was untrue, my comment was indeed more enlightening than yours.

Europe has already supplied long range cruise missiles that the US would not. Europe provided tanks when the US would not. Europe provided fighter jets that the US would not.
-
Not ignored. Trump’s administration has personally intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate - a pimp and pornographer with a huge following among school age kids - to ask that Romanian authorities go easy on him while he faces charges of serial rape and human trafficking.
-
Neither of these things are true.
-
You think that's going to be accomplished? Massive LOL.
-
Even in the Leopards Eating People's Faces meme they said they wouldn't eat your face. Trump categorically told this guy that his was going to be the first face to get eaten. What on earth did he think was going to happen?
-
Doesn’t take much figuring out - Putin has dazzled him with how much money they can both make mining for minerals in the land that’s been stolen from Ukraine. They’ve pretty much said this out loud multiple times.
-
Right - fixing ducts costs money, and so no matter how important it is that the ducts get fixed the administration will make sure it's impossible to fix them. Let alone the on the nose analogy of accidentally firing thousands of the wrong people. Maybe if you spent less time fantasizing about helping the police kill people and more time finding out how politics works (like, what the US constitution actually says for a start) you'd be in a better position to have this conversation.
-
What a surprise, you’re caught talking absolute nonsense and suddenly want to drop the subject. Chauvin had two cops helping him hold the already handcuffed Floyd on the ground and he didn’t let go. When Floyd fell unconscious he didn’t let go. When a cop couldn’t find a pulse he didn’t let go. When they called an ambulance he didn’t let go. When the ambulance arrived he didn’t let got. When the paramedic couldn’t find a pulse, he still didn’t let go. Oh but you, if only you had been there! One tiny bit of help from you doing what two other cops were already doing and everything would have been perfect… because you are just so goddamned special. Indeed, it is a very good analogy for what we’ve seen of Trump’s government so far.
-
Obviously false. Described by who? Yes. A police officer was convicted of murder for something he did while on duty - the single most difficult thing to achieve in the entire American legal system. That didn't happen because of a narrative, it happened because of what Chauvin did. "At 8:20, a witness across the street began recording a video showing Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck, Kueng applying pressure to Floyd's torso, and Lane applying pressure to Floyd's legs, while Thao stood nearby." You were going to shove another cop out of the way so you could help? Good luck with that, let me know how it goes for you. Seems like we;ve found something you know even less about than the US Constitution.
