No, see, he’s right: it is proof that the Democrats are covering it up very well! And to make it extra convincing, they only fixed the elections just enough so they could get the most tenuous grip on legislative power as possible without relinquishing it completely. They also made sure Marjorie Taylor-Greene got…

Hey, Mike deserves better than that.

Maybe he’s born with it; maybe it’s... four centuries of institutional racism which places the lowest white man above the highest person of color, leading to a mindset of profound entitlement and an inability to accept criticism of any kind in a healthy way.

(I’m working on making the slogan pithier for the eventual TV…

An aside: regarding the “Deckard is a replicant!!!” theory, doesn’t the film completely break if that’s the case? The whole thing with Roy saving Deckard’s life even though the latter has mercilessly hunted down replicants (who are, in fact, escaped slaves in everything but name and are very obviously thinking,…

As someone who gets annoyed myself by the use of “begging the question” by well-educated people (who presumably have some familiarity with fallacies) when they mean “raising the question”, and fastidiously avoids it, I think we should probably just let it go.

There is a reactionary left. It’s embodied in those who think that “cancel culture” (this discussion is at least “cancel culture”-adjacent, what with the complete and utter lack of desire to see Ted Cruz held accountable in any way whatsoever) is exactly equally as bad, or even worse, than real efforts to suppress…

Got it in one.

Do you favor capital punishment for these cases?

Mercury comes from the Earth, you stupid fuck. So does tetrodotoxin, lead and magma. So does the coronavirus itself, which is what is used to create the vaccine.

I’m tired of these people getting attention. There’s no point in arguing with them; they didn’t reason themselves into their position in the first place, so…

There needs to be a functioning Republican party, if only because we cannot afford, for every four years, to become a country without a working government, just because one party has absolutely no interest in doing the work of governing if it doesn’t amp up their xenophobic, fascist base.

Unity means meeting the Republicans halfway. They want to dismantle every part of the social safety net and every piece of regulation (except for the ones that benefit their buddies via regulatory capture); Dems can easily compromise by not doing anything ever again!

... is not a thing. Way to give the game away immediately by presenting this as a solution to the non-existent difficulty faced by employers.

Whether she was “legitimately” elected is not the point. The House is empowered to expel her if they vote to do so.

Just to put it in perspective (but not to let Biden off the hook, because I don’t doubt that those were actually his legitimate views at the time, and they were terrible ones), if you weren’t “tough on crime” in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, you were probably not a senator, and if you were, you weren’t a particularly…

This is breathtakingly moronic. Dirty cops and corrupt politicians hate snitches too.

I’m not really sure what your point is. There’s no defense of Callimachi here, and two issues (misogyny and shoddy journalistic practices) can coexist. Your concern seems to be that... the article isn’t about the other thing.

So what?

Yeah, but Obama said “if you like your insurance, you can keep it” once so they’re exactly the same.

Both sides. Unity. Not the time for a divisive impeachment trial.

I’m an independent which means I’m smarter than any of them. Please tailor your policies to me.

Or, as we’ve seen with the pandemic, sometimes not even then.

Sadly, it’s even easier for people to deny anecdotal evidence than statistical evidence. Why change what I believe when I can just accuse you of lying?

Giving his name might make it harder for him to get hired by the department in the next county over.

Only a little, though. Not like there’s any sort of database keeping track of this stuff.
