Re: The California Shooting, Ideology and Mental Illness-Upd
I wrote a partial reply but it apparently had a character encoding error: SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] Incorrect string value: '\xF4\x8F\xB0\x80 t...' for column `thehallo_phpbb3`.`phpbb_posts`.`post_text` at row 1 [1366] and I really can't be bothered beyond a cursory attempt to troubleshoot that.

Probably because it is New York, which holds an outsize piece of people's minds. Larger than life.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election
River summed it up right while I tried and failed. If Warren's policies isn't your jam it don't matter if she gal, you won't like. So the rumblings about sexism definitely do not apply to any conservatives - conservatives just don't like her policies, period. And it makes sense to me that conservat...

Re: 2020 Presidential Election
How can we take all her plans seriously when she puts forth these ambitious and costly plans and then pretends that it can all be paid for by only taxes on those above the middle class. It's ridiculous. It's bullshit. This is the opposite of competence. And this, more than any amount of sexism, is ...

Re: 2020 Presidential Election
Am irritated that all the choices left are too old to fly a commercial jet. Word. Hopefully in the near future we see better generational representation in positions of power. I respect experience and the wisdom it can bring but I also look at the world and say, it has changed dramatically over the...

Dedicated to all the GOP senators who voted to acquit because they figured Trump would learn his lesson.
( And yes, I'm pretty sure none of them believed what they said. )

Re: Impeachment
Haven't watched his announcement yet. The thing about Romney I think, is that his faith and his morals are real. Which is more than I can say for the hypocrites clustering under the banner of Christian faith yet voicing full-throated support for Trump's cruel side. And this is probably where he need...

Re: Impeachment
I grew up in a non-democratic country with very effective government mouthpiece media so yes: propaganda is very, very effective and very, very harmful.

Re: Impeachment
I believe it was Roger Ailes who stated that one of the goals of Fox News was to prevent another Nixon situation. In which way? Prevent it as in, be a mouthpiece to prevent future Republican presidents from being impeached, whatever it takes, lying included? Or prevent it as in, hold future preside...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
It was a metaphor, just not a great one, the way I read it and the way she later explained it. She meant that she was praying for the plans that satan's agents were working on in the world to be stopped ( paraphrasing her words ). And that's fair enough. "Deliver us from evil" is a standar...

Re: Trump's America
Seems about right. People who just want to tell others what to do tend to latch onto external sources of authority they perceive can grant them that bully power - the Constitution and the Bible are two obvious examples - and set to work twisting what they see as words of power to give authority to t...

Re: Trump's America
Ah yes. Little dollop of religions extremism. Seems like for many conservatives that stuff's pretty bad when it comes out of the Middle East but is to be coddled, admired and nurtured when it comes from the white folk in America's Evangelical churches. Kind of how the Constitution is so super import...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot

This is a person who can excel on their own but ...

Re: 2020 Presidential Election
Y'know, people talk all the time about how squicky Trump is around women, but he's kinda gross around men too. Comments about their looks. This "My Kevin" thing. Comey's reported fear that he'd get a completely inappropriate hug. At some point, the public should address how Trump's sense ...

Yes. In the U.S. we call it 'free speech.' Bloomberg has said he is willing to spend $550 million (I'm not sure if that's just to get the nomination, or includes the general election). Yeah, so I also had Alatar 's reaction initially and so I had to have this conversation with an actual American ye...
