I mean I’m white so take everything I say with that note.

I agree. I like to hear what Phill Mudd, who seems very practical and basically spends his time as a talking head advocating that the intelligence community needs to be given respect and their information needs to be taken seriously. This is why he has been largely anti-trump, as he has not respected their reporting…

I was thinking... McCain doesn’t know what she’s gotten herself in to. Ana Navarro is smart, quick, and saucy. She is used to fighting for airtime with self-important men who are talking down to her. This show is like t-ball

agree. At first, I was annoyed that before I could go see any specialist (I had developed a long term case of vertigo so was going to neurologists etc). I had to go to the health center first. Of course the doctor there was an actual internal medicine doctor. And I paid nothing to see her. And prescriptions were…

I remember people telling me, you never know you might want another kid some day. I was like. Um... no because my position on it wasn’t sentimental (well I guess having two kids vs one could be seen as sentimental) or practical. Going above replacement level fertility by choice in a developed nation is an error.

Just saying.. Carter is 94 and more lucid than trump

I agree with this all and some of it is new and very insightful for me. In fact I thought GM had paid back the money they got (but I imagine the total cost to the government could still be positive after costs of creating a program (I think/believed/incorrectly? they had also paid interest on the money they were…

I thought some of these things were just me.. because I always blame myself first.

Yes, this is interesting. I’ve been recycling since the early 80's, sorry to brag. The town I grew up in was early in (probably helped that we lived in a suburb of a big 5 city.) I always go over the recycling letter from the town if it comes. Last month or maybe a little earlier we got a new set of guidelines for…

I mean.. I agree with you 100% on her “acting” ability...  but that face IS both beautiful AND a perfect RBF

No kidding. And Chris Christie.. he said the words teacher’s union in this clip... if you have seen any of the town halls where he screams at parents and teachers... you’d really want to hit him in the face with his own front-butt.

I was going to assume that I was wrong, because I am not someone particularly in the know about things like this, beyond just reading books and watching news, etc. But referring to bombs and artillery as “ammunition” seemed wholly incorrect to me. So I’m guessing Mattis didn’t tell him they couldn’t bomb someone…

I think there is decent evidence to support the shortages of .22lr are due to consumers (per manufacturers and the NRA) buying large amounts of ammunition and weapons in case legislation made doing so illegal (per polls reporting that the majority of gun owners thought Obama would take them.) The initial minor…

ok. you can see it that way. Stalinism is a descendant of Marxism-Leninism. The Khmer Rouge were communists supported by Maoist China (another Marxist-Leninist off shoot). And there are fine lines between the forms of socialism that support a blend of liberal ideas, democracy and an economy that is not fully owned…

Yes and also that socialism (especially the modern liberal socialism which I think is more representative of the Sanders/AOC wing) isn’t communism and especially not Stalinism. But this kind of fine detail is unimportant to someone who just wants to be controversial. I’m not going to disparage Heng by suggesting that…

I know this is old, but I have been able to avoided hearing him speak. I just listened to this and I thought for sure I had it on the wrong speed.

well the asset that just got revealed was exfiltrated from high in the Kremlin in 2017 (if I have understood correctly through a week long migraine) and had been there for more than a decade. So we know they lost a MAJOR asset recently. Then the asset got burned and has had to disappear.

I’m an ecologist. Back a few years ago, my kid ate a bunch of pokeweed berries and I freaked out. He was like 2 or 3 and I didn’t see how many he ate but knew it couldn’t have been more than a handful. Still I pictured hospital visit.

Just letting you know some people got your point, ie if the suits were so bad that he needed to take pictures of them, then distributing the pictures is distributing child pornography. OR the suits weren’t that bad. Guy can’t have it both ways.,

I once drove 30 miles on corduroyed gravel road. It took all day and I wanted to kill myself half way through. Then RIGHT when we got to a nice smooth paved road, there were ~10 long horn steer staring at us from the middle of the road, uninterested in moving.
