I think the Red Team/Blue Team approach would be great. But I fear it would turn into a circus show when: A) Scientists on both team were selected by the House Committee on Science and Technology. B) The Red Team was permitted to use any source (or no attributed source) of data, including hack websites like the ones often quoted here. C) The proceedings were kept secret, with the public disclosure being produced by the aforementioned House Committee. - Dan G

You really should stop cutting and pasting entire articles. It is a copyright violation. A synopsis and a link will suffice. - Dan G

Ah, so you admit your previous post was just trying to score points. Thanks. - Dan G

Bill's theory (and most everyone else's theory) is that Russia preferred Trump over Clinton and did what they could to help Trump win. The current relationship between the Trump Administration and Russia has nothing to do with what happened during the election. The theory is that both the Trump campaign and the Russians wanted Trump to win. They both worked toward that goal. They may have worked together. The mainstream theory doesn't say that Trump was a Manchurian Candidate, as you are implying. - Dan G

That's what we supposedly did in 2013. Russia and Syria both lied. What makes you think now will be any different? - Dan G

Sure, but both sides have to respect the other. I don't see any more close-mindedness coming out of either side. The center of both sides is usually reasonable. The fringes will never concede that the other side is right, or even that they have honest intentions. Unfortunately, the fringes are getting louder every day. And I'm not a began, I still eat fish and dairy. - Dan G

Hmm, kinda like how people on the right refer to everyone left of center as a non-functional micro-aggressed vegan? - Dan G

Actually, GWB was an avid runner. Anyway, I suspected that Rush would pull a full 180 and I was not disappointed. As usual for him, R's can do no wrong, and if it looks like they are doing wrong it is only because D's did it first. When D's do the same thing, however, he's outraged and tries to make a noble Constitutional argument. The hypocrisy is staggering. - Dan G

Was Merick Garland not qualified? - Dan G

Don't forget that one time one of her staffers was rude to someone in uniform. - Dan G

I believe the current age limit for enlistment is 42. Let us know how Basic Training is. - Dan G

Terror attacks in some countries are news because they are rare, not because the inhabitants are predominantly a certain race. You're smart enough to know that. Stop trolling. - Dan G

No African citizens granted visas for African trade summit in California
DanG replied to ryoder's topic in Speakers Corner
That's funny, I didn't say anything about blacks or whites either. Who's letting their prejudices shine through? - Dan G -

That's got to be one of the dumbest comments you've ever made. It's a meeting to encourage trade between Africa and the United States. Why should it be held outside of the United States? - Dan G -
A new "Citizens for Quiet Skies" issue

What's the difference between a developer and a conservationist? A developer wants to build houses in the country. A conservationist already has one. - Dan G -
Where do you get the idea that the job of Senators on the Armed Services Committee is to meet with Russians? Foreign Relations Committee, maybe. Armed Services Committee, I think that would be unusual. And maybe you're heard about this thing called the State Department. It's part of the Executive Branch, look it up. The Constitution charges them with conducting foreign policy, not Senators on the Armed Services Committee. - Dan G

Wait, if all the protesters at town halls are paid Democratic shills, why would Democratic Congressmen be avoiding town halls, too? Both narratives can't exist at the same time. - Dan G

So, was the annexation of Crimea by Russia in accordance with international law? - Dan G

In the same way that if you've made a film for adults you've made an adult film. - Dan G

Yes, it's fucking terrifying. Having soldiers running around gathering people up sounds great when they're only after "those people". Not so great when the definition of "those people" starts to expand. - Dan G

White and Christian are identities. The Founders based this country on ideas. Among others, those iseas are democracy, capitalism, liberty, equality, and secularism. Those ideas are what make America great. The racial and religious identities of the Founding Fathers aren't. - Dan G

Do you really not understand that the part of our culture that immigrants like the most is that everyone is equal, everyone has rights, and everyone has the same opportunity? At least in principle. If you think those are White Christian values instead of American values then you are part of the problem. - Dan G
