1) No, violence against political opponents are for fascists. Assassinations kill democracies far faster than vocally shitting on institutions.

The US doesn’t give a shit about whether you trade bitcoins, stocks, or baseball cards. They only care if your earn a profit, and if you do, remit a % to them in dollars.

I’m generally on your side here, but I disagree a bitcoin is worthless. It’s worth something, and apparently to some people it’s worth $10,000. I call those people suckers, but suckers and dupes can create value so long as they have the assets to sustain the market. The market needs inflows to sustain it because…

Right...we can’t seem to keep our current fleet at a proficient level of training. Which is the actual reason why we’ve had collisions involving 2 destroyers, 3 (three!) submarines, and what was it? A mine layer? All in the last few years.

TBH, I think the sentiment has far wider implications than even that: while rationality eventually prevails in the end, do not assume it will prevail before fear/greed/hubris destroys you.

On one hand, $89 billion is a shit ton of money.

Goddamn. I really wish the real David Brooks was anywhere near as good or heartfelt of a writer as you.

I’ve been citing the constitution itself the whole time. You’ve been trying to supersede it with apocrypha, which is not how this works.

The Ferderalist Papers are the 18th century equivalent of a brochure. They exist to explain and sell the constitution to the public. That does not make them the authoritative source on the topic and certainly does not eliminate the structural design of the Constitution. It’s that document, and not the FP’s that were…

Now a strawman. If you’re going keep ignoring my point with more bullshit, you can go fuck yourself and then go fuck right off.

I don’t give a flying fuck what Hamilton or whoever else wrote to justify the EC. The reason was built into the system. The did not have to base the votes in the EC on congressional apportionment. They didn’t have to take into account the 3/5 compromise. They c0uld have taken any measure to actually stock the EC with…

Haha, LOL, no. That is not why the electoral college exists. The EC exists because of the 3/5th compromise. You know, the one that let states count a slave as 3/5 of a free person for the purpose of congressional appointment without giving said slave the right to vote. EC turns those extra house seats into increased…

You need a bigger TV. About 85 inches should do.

To be fair, it was established 30 years ago that Spock Does. Not. Talk. About. His. Family.

I wouldn’t say sarcasm...more absurd than anything.

The glowing dong was amazing. Especially in IMAX.

Cassanova FrankN.Stein?

Nope. Since the relative brightness is the same, a B&W AMOLED screen will burn just about the same amount of juice as when it’s set to color.

Yeah...in JW Ch1, the fights (especially the night club) have a beat to them. It’s steady, and reinforces Wick’s relentlessness, as the beat itself is just as steady.
