If (Big If) the dems take the senate, wouldn’t she make a wonderful Majority leader?

Whether Barr’s comments are genuine or just for political cover doesn’t really matter. It still shows just how screwed up the situation is. Don’t forget, the anti-deep-state loonies and their buddies are not just ok with saying the quiet parts out loud. That’s what they actually want. Has anyone ever accused the MAGA…

Understood. And I think that is fair. If you dismiss me, I dismiss you. That is totally acceptable.

So long as “elected Trump, deny global warming/climate change, and think social programs are only for them” are your criteria for a “Boomer” then sure, I agree. If it’s just based on a birthday falling in a certain range then I don’t agree. The same generation brought us the voting rights act AND the ridiculous anti-f…

Understood. Turnabout is fair play. I guess all of this hit me in two places. My general squeamishness at categorizing people, and my general sense that I was to be included in that group based on my age (54).

They do.  And they’re wrong too.

Agreed. But I was not doing so. The professor in the story did, so, yes, he was wrong. Already said so. I was talking about the fact that some use these kinds of labels as a way tell groups that they have nothing to offer, simply because the label has been applied to them. I think it’s wrong to tell any group of…

You have a point, but maybe both ideas - oversensitive millennial and out of touch boomer - are wrong?

I understand the point and of course the two terms are not comparable. But I’m not a fan of the “ok boomer” meme - When it’s used as a way to tell an entire class of people that they don’t matter, they can be dismissed without consideration.

I agree but, I’ll make you a bet.  Trump has established his cult.  Do you think for one moment that he will just let all that go if he’s voted out?  Nope.  He will still use the power of the virtual mob to push whatever he wants.  The Republicans aren’t really afraid of Trump.  They’re afraid of his fanatics.  All…

Yeah.  Humans are the only animals dumb enough to follow the deranged.  The entire rest of the animal kingdom simply disengages and walks away.  Or eats them if food is scarce.

I’m probably not the first to ask this, but when is this show going to go back to it’s roots and become an MMO?

Agreed. Turnabout is fair play. But that doesn’t mean the Ok Boomer dismissive is any less reductive than any other. Unless your goal is simply to dismiss and/or annoy. Being reductive, dismissive and somewhat accurate are what make it perfect for modern electronic ‘discussion’. And just as useless as every example…

Kitchen Remodel

One million times THIS:

Tell the person you are having “intestinal challenges”, you really need to concentrate to maintain control and the conversation is making that so much harder.

I can hardly form sentences about how bad this is. Now both our enemies, and our allies, have concrete proof we can’t be trusted. We will be excluded from every major decision about the direction of that part of the world for the foreseeable future. We have sold out our friends and raised up our enemies. All in the…

Took advantage of = asked for permission to keep breathing, while being willing to fight and die for us.

So Trump’s saying he’s going to protect the Kurds if Turkey ‘goes too far’. They are going to launch an offensive to find and kill them. Just exactly what would count as going too far, then?  Maybe kicking them in the shins and then killing them?

He ran on, and was supported explicitly because, he promised to never do “the right thing.” It’s a shame he didn’t go into working with explosives as a profession.
