I do like that one even if it turned out it's cribbing a bit from this.

Hm, hadn't thought of that.

I think that is an issue. What I mean is I think Democrats are so convinced of their smears they see them as simply facts. (I remember, on a now defunct forum elsewhere, "But Thomas it isn't an ethnic slur, Cuban Americans are scum. It's just saying a fact.") Democrats are rather convinced the facts are on their side…

"Everybody loved it but no one could genuinely relate to it"

Science is researching this. Stand by.

I remember liking "Walking in Memphis" back in the day. Other possibilities Stay, Washington Square, "O-o-h Child", Funkytown (as a boy), Coming Home (By Schilling), Axel F, and maybe others. (I'm not counting things like "Take Five" by Brubeck's group, for example, as the album itself sold well and he had a long and…

I'm not Republican anymore even if I still tend to see myself as conservative.

Or not. I took a shower and those wake me up.

"If you compare how politicians have been treated personally, do you really think Republicans have had it worse than Democrats?"

Oh I plan to stick with it. I heard about it when it was still on, but I never got around to it. Not sure why. I like time travel and I seem to like Canadian cop shows judging from the few I've seen. But also the concept I think is pretty interesting. The nice cop lady is serving a regime that's clearly bad. But…

The answer is no.

Your side could maybe use him then.

I think Republicans are better at smearing ideas, but Democrats are great at smearing people. I grant almost no one here would believe that, but it doesn't make it false. I mean Goldwater was depicted as a potentially psychotic man who would end the world in nuclear destruction. (Google "Goldwater rule" in connection…

That show gets kind of hated online, but I've enjoyed it at times too. You get to see all kinds of people, some who might not fit TV, and many of them are nice. Even the old lady who told the one teen "Oh I can't buy you condoms honey I'm an old Catholic lady, that's not something I can do" it didn't turn into any…

Yeah! I have BBCAmerica back so I can see this week's. And I have the first one on On Demand. Not sure how I'm going to watch the second one though. That's a puzzler. I hope it gets back on On Demand or I can just follow this one by reading a description of episode 2.

It's weird to me too. I think I might have thought once Hillary was out of the picture they'd cool a bit. But it might be understandable it takes people sometime to cool. Also many people seem to really dislike expressing regret for anything, ever, unless they are forced to do so. They want to think everything worked…

I haven't seen a poll on Trump's global popularity yet. The closest is one of a few European where he looked pretty broadly unpopular, but it was mostly Western European nations. I think it's possible a high percent of Hungarians genuinely like him, but considering the poll during the election perhaps not. Clinton…

I would guess it's that by respect she means, to some or a great extent, fear. That people weren't scared of Obama or what he might do. But that they are scared of Trump. And that fear is a better motivator to get what we want. (The kind who really love Trump often see most other nations in largely adversarial terms.)

I really doubt Democrats would impeach a Democratic President either. Not in this day and age.

If they didn't exist he would have accomplished more. The legislature is of the same party as him and even healthcare might not go through. The courts have gummed up his travel thing.
