We reached peak hypocracy when evangelicals gave us the Apotheosis of Trump. So, I get what you’re saying, I get the joke, but I struggle to give a damn or find it funny. Not your fault. It’s me. The stretch of the whole mess tainted everything asit floated up into the heavens to gas God to death.

If they had a woman beneath them, they probably wouldn’t be spending so much time complaining about all the hot, kinky, no-strings-attached sex that liberals of all orientations are having all the time and in their faces.

Depends on how you slice and dice the racial pie. Keep it black vs white...sure. Throw in the other races and...well...let me put it this way: Trump did better with Latinos than Romney did. I’ll let that sink in for a second.

I can totally see libertarians digging Trump. Not necessarily the campaign rhetoric, but the presidency itself. He’s haphazardly sabotaging the entire executive branch. Nonfunctional government might as well be nonexistent government.

And mostly old. I mean, not entirely old, but more old than it is male, and most Trump voters were male too. Not necessarily old AND male, but that’s probably the single biggest demographic.

You’re calling me stoned, and yet you can’t seem to connect the very simple dots I’m laying out to you. Tee. Hee. The problem here is that you have zero idea how the world actually fucking works and in the grand tradition of loudmouth American ignoramuses everywhere, you cling to a conspiracy theory to fill that gap.

Pharma funds people that will cut their taxes, not because they care about what amounts to a social issue. It just so happens the one party who really wants to cut their taxes also really hates weed.

Sure, but it’s also a new revenue stream. Weed revenue > weed research, thus weed = profit.

You seem to think that, if legalized, big pharma couldn’t think of a way to monetize weed. If anyone is equipped to breed tailored strains, it’s big pharma and big Ag (Monsanto).

It’s different tonally from the previous shows, but it’s very much intended for fans. They drop good, well researched references every episode (not too obnoxiously, they generally make sense).

Conservative media got eyeballs (really, ears first, this stuff started in talk radio) by realizing their audience has a lot of overlap with tabloid news consumers. Before even that, the radio pundits borrowed from shock jocks. Shock jocks long knew the best way to get phone calls was to find out something that…

That’s because it’s not “the liberal media”, it’s just media and priority #1 is getting eyeballs however one can. How many times a day will CNN run a #MeToo update followed by a segment asking “is porn turning our children into deviants/asexual sloths/whatever” piece? As many as they need to.

Is it just me or are the newer iPhones so thin they’re now uncomfortable to hold? They really need a couple of mm to help round out those edges.

Or even relevant to the topic. Being a scientist studying frog mating doesn’t make one a climate expert.

What are you? 16? How the hell do you think you get cash? Other people with cash. It doesn’t really matter where they got it. That’s not your problem. Point is, once those dollar are in paper form, they are completely off the grid.

I took it as “the NFL is incestuous AF and if they think this stupid thing was *my* idea I’m out of work because theres only 32 of these evil bastards and they all live forever and hold grudges twice as long”.

That thing used to transact “business” anonymously is called cash. Anything with an public ledger, which is what a block chain is, can be used to trace deals back to individuals.

Right, you got a degree (I assume) so you’re the sole authority on the subject.

Any field that spans thousands of years is going to be general and subject to judgment. People can’t even agree when the Roman Empire ended (I go with 1453 myself, but am receptive to the suggestion it really died with Justinian) and that’s a specific question. Just because something is hard to define does not mean it…

Malls aren’t really dying. Like a lot of things, it’s the middle that’s getting hollowed out. Big, 4-5 million sqft regional centers like MOA (which is far larger than 5MSQFT, but whatever), are expanding due to network effects. Local retail (strip malls, town centers, urban retail) is having a renaissance because the…
