He, and by extension we, since no one knows more than he does, has discovered the existence of category 5 hurricanes on at least three separate occasions in his presidency, and has been equally stunned by the discovery each time.

A Republican says “Stop them dead in their tracks,” and the response is “Well, it’s just a figure of speech, stop being so sensitive.”

Not going to respond directly to the troll, but this exchange brought two things to mind.

Starred both because you’re right, and because you putting it in exactly those words made me realize I used to be that guy.

What he, amazingly, forgot to mention is why he plays such a very fast game of golf. It’s easy to complete a round quickly when you shoot a 20 - those holes in one don’t take very long at all.

Fox Business isn’t, despite its name, aimed at business people.  It’s aimed at day-trading retirees.

This is why I came to the conclusion that, the entire time I was a Republican, I had been lied to. The Republican party I was told I was voting into office wouldn’t stand for this shit - and yet every one of them has. It is embarrassing to admit you were fooled for years, but better that than continuing to stand with…

Serious question - where do people like Johnathan A find the time to write shit like that?  I know I can ramble a bit when I bother to post on these sites, but even that only takes me five minutes or so, and it never measures up to the sheer amount of garbage he wrote there.  I can barely find the patience to read it…

The ‘news’ part of Fox News didn’t just fool their viewers.  There are people who went to work there thinking they were going to work for a news organization with a right-leaning editorial staff, like the Detroit News.  Instead, they went to work for a propaganda outfit, but some of them may still not have figured…

Aside from the obvious question - what do they want the DNA for, exactly? - how does adding more work to an already over-worked group of people help the situation?  Unless the goal is to keep making conditions worse for both the refugees and the people keeping them in camps so we can continue to call this a crisis…

I spent quite a while reading the memo - or at least the part of it that was released, since parts appear to be missing - trying to figure out if I would be a citizen if this had been the policy when I was born. I couldn’t. I think I would be, because we moved back when I still very young and both my parents were…

If your democracy can be suspended, did you ever really have one?

Wow.  I don’t usually reply to replies, but I’m bored.  I understood the ‘except’ - my point was that even that wasn’t paying Rodman enough respect.  It was, in essence, an excuse to go on a rant about how under-appreciated Rodman is, because I was bored and saw the opportunity.  I’m sorry you got upset about that,…

He was working on a team at Waymo.  How do we determine what parts of the work he stole was directly his contribution, and how much was from others on the team?  Unless you think he single-handedly wrote every line of code and designed every part?

I can’t let that slide with a back-handed ‘without talent’. Rodman was one of the best defensive basketball players of all time, and he only started going downhill in public perception when he told the truth about Larry Byrd being over-rated because he was white. Comparing Rodman - even in his palling around with Kim…

I know we’re looking at numbers over the last decade or less, but when I hear people talk about the ‘decline’ of baseball, it sounds like we’re doing a lot more comparing to the ‘good old days’, whenever those were. (The 70s? The 50s? Who knows.)

Important difference: Quixote didn’t know they were windmills.

How can all this wealth take care of people, if at the same time we’re increasing drilling we’re refusing to extend health care to more people or allow in refugees?  What does he think ‘take care’ of people means, exactly?

Christopher Walken made Martin Sheen hide himself behind a baby precisely to prevent that sort of shit.  Why didn’t that happen this time, damn it?

I have absolutely seen more outrage at the existence of online outrage than I have seen online outrage itself.
