“Accidentally.”

Came here to say basically the same thing.  Hell, I’m 40 and I STILL wouldn’t trust myself to spend that much money on a watch.

America has become a Sovereign Citizen.

Wouldn’t do any good.  ‘We’ no longer recognize international humanitarian laws or the international agencies tasked with policing them.  The latest example being the sanctions against inspectors.

I love how many people out there think that I owe them an explanation as to why I like to play games a certain way. It’s my time, it’s my money, and I’m a grown-ass adult; I’ll play games how I want, and am under no obligation to play games your way or to explain myself to anyone else. Play games how you want, that’s…

I wanted to add, I do appreciate your perspective, and it’s general frustration not meant to seem like it’s being targeted at you or your viewpoint. If you got that impression, then I apologize for not being as careful as I should be. The BBC just posted an article that sums up the history of the matter quite well, I…

“That might help make the distinction between protestors and the anarchists or looters more clear - to the point that lazy or dishonest media types can’t conflate them.”

Those same lazy and dishonest media types will conflate them anyway, just as Trump’s campaign will. See; their mailer using images from protests in…

They’re ‘pro life,’ though.  Just not ‘pro YOUR life.’

The mistake most people in this modern climate are making is conflating the two. The Pacific Northwest has a depressingly active ‘anarchist’ community, and the little fucks try to stir up trouble anywhere and everywhere. I haven’t been to the current protests because crowds aren’t good for my PTSD even in the best of…

Speaking as a genuine ‘idiot in Portland,’ who’s friend was arrested last weekend when he went downtown and defended a bunch of people from being trampled by overzealous police, he and I both are entirely uninterested in letting this cunt dictate our actions. Allowing injustice to continue unchallenged just because…

And some of the handful of dollars still going to education has to include, in some places, teaching non-science folklore as science, because an educated public is harder to dupe.

I choose ‘E,’ ‘All of the above and too many more to list.’

I wonder if--and I know this is crazy insane talk here--but I wonder, just hypothetically, if we reduced their workload some, by giving some of their responsibilities to better-trained specialists that could reduce crime before it happened, if that might help reduce their stress a bit?  And--and here’s more just…

“The phrase “stay out of politics” doesn’t even apply anymore.”

I absolutely despise that response. Absolutely. “Oh, you’re just an X, stick with X and don’t talk about anything else.” To paraphrase my mother and grandmother, “I wasn’t put on this earth to X for you.” These people—be they entertainers or athletes or…

Oh, okay then, fuck me for spending my time trying to communicate a thought more clearly to someone who asked for more clear communication.  Like an adult.  You’re no longer worthy of my time enough to even read the rest of your rebuttal beyond the first two lines.

Friend, I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I don’t know what more I can do to draw out the situation, as I see it, if you can’t put the last couple of pieces together for yourself.  

For years now, he has been pushing this idea that ‘they’ have been out to get him from the start. From ‘illegal’…

“I believe the Democrats wanted to do this ASAP before the glut of campaign season and they wanted to keep the charges simple, which is Ukraine scandal.”

Oh, no beef honestly. I don’t necessarily disagree with the strategy, except that they were too uncoordinated to actually execute it effectively. They should have…

Another way of looking at it would be that most people have already made up their minds, and only some massively unpredictable event will have any influence on their decision. ...It IS 2020 after all, so that’s still possible. But those handful of people still undecided enough to be influenced will see all these…

As I said in the original comment, nothing in the senate has changed since the last time. So there is literally no way they will convict--none of the at-risk Republicans will stick their necks out now, even if the case is iron-clad. You remember what he did the last time he walked from an impeachement? Spent a couple…

Speaking as an avowed indepentent, who ‘loses’ no matter who wins the election, the best strategy Democrats can adopt right now is to just let Trump keep the spotlight on himself. The longer you let him talk, the more foot he shoves into his own mouth on his own. He writes the opposing side’s campaign ads for them, if…
