sure BO...that’s on them...not the alleged administration...

the maritime association of shipowners shipmanagers and agents is a little mad at you, though...

you’d think...but we’d still need to rely on everyone doing their part to be informed enough to prevent this kind of travesty coming to pass again...

honestly I think you linked to more stories than I’ve read on that site in the last year, so I’m probably not qualified to judge the merits of their reporting...but the seeing Russians everywhere thing I may have given some thought to...

the link is sure enough worth a read but I think what KC was getting at may have been that for some at Splinter Bernie Sanders is the promised land & anything up to & including the reality that supporting him was Russia’s #1 tactic for effectively splitting the D vote at scale is strictly downplayed in favour of…

I don’t want to pick sides...& Splinter deserves some shade for the whole "Welp, that was a waste of time" line...but damn that’s a lot of links...

I got that feeling...so I figured being reminded that your token effort at least pays out might afford a little consolation...

I think that’s closer to the truth than any of us should find comfortable...personally I think that he represents a difference in kind rather than degree but a good part of that is the callous indifference & naked short-term self-interest used to be something those sorts of people were smart enough to keep under the…

true in a sense...but if everyone decided they didn’t need to because it’s covered then we’d be in trouble...so in another sense yours does count in a way that blue votes in strongly red states don’t...& we sure as hell want those folks to get out & make with the voting...

you’re not wrong...but I’d argue it doesn’t matter whether the swing is from R to D or from independent to D or from abstaining to D...which generally require different arguments to be deployed...& of those three categories it is not clear to me that the first (which is apparently estimated to top out at 4% of the…

I’ve seen both Chump45 & Dolt45 a bunch & tended to think the play on the name wasn’t worth sacrificing the alcoholic source reference...

signing up to the International Criminal Court might be a start if people want to start throwing the Hague about like it’s where the buck stops...

in my experience pessimists come in two flavors...there’s the ones that are cynical due to being essentially optimists who are consistently disappointed and are often worth paying attention to...

nor for nothing but as I understand it the principal difference is that impeachment proceedings have judicial rather than merely legislative weight behind them...so the penalties for lying & obfuscation during compelled testimony would work differently...

I’d say there’s more to it than just the corporate angle...there’s the “decorum” & process & precedent & horse trading & all that good stuff that's bread & butter to career politicians...she’s what used to be called “Establishment” in some parts of the world...

as I understand it they’re also increasingly only pretending to be an international news organization...

both...the answer is both...

my, what a coincidence...

just don't...you know full well killing off this pathetic persona of yours would be the real boon...

I think it’s simpler than that...he only talks to his flock & it’s an article of faith for them that to not support him is to be un-american...ergo any process that potentially ends with him in the big house instead of the white house must logically be a coup of some sort...
