You can judge a man by the company he keeps.

I feel like the word is “plot.” They plotted this, and then they did it.

I literally just told you the reason to not present evidence is that high value assets would be exposed and their lives in danger. You can believe whatever you want but if you truly believe the FBI, CIA, and NSA got together and spun a huge lie well, maybe they are dumping the chemtrails over my house too.

There are many reasons to not present much of the evidence. Much of it can be surmised by what level of confidence each agency gave it. NSA can only give moderate confidence because of the way NSA gathers its evidence. The FBI and CIA almost certainly have human assets at high reaches of the government and their lives…

I’m still angry at people who didn’t give enough of a shit to vote, voted third party because they thought HRC was “the same” or worse than Trump, and those that voted Trump as a fun little protest vote, not thinking he’d actually be elected

Michelle Obama has been one of the classiest, the most educated (two ivy league degrees), perhaps the smartest, and yes one of the most beautiful first ladies we have ever had. We will be lucky to get another one like her. People who hate on her are ignorant racists. She is so many things that all of us strive to…

No, if there’s one thing I learned in 13 years as a Jewish kid at Catholic school (long story) it’s that the concept of “Judeo-Christian” doesn’t really mean anything. We have fundamentally different world views, even if they borrowed some of our customs. The Catholics are okay as far as that goes - they don’t…

I mean, I feel bad for her, because this bible had blank spots in it for notes, so why is it bad that she highlighted things. This reminds me of the most confusing aspect of my recent Byzantine history class, which was all the heresies. I’m a Jew. Jews generally don’t kick other Jews out of the faith unless you REALLY…

All of this for doing what Christian monks did for centuries?

Eh I would have gone with the “yes if he promises to trip whatshisface and only sing songs about climate change” until I got to his comments about his wife’s uncertain immigration status. Life’s too fucking short to willingly spend time alone with assholes that obnoxious, let alone naked time alone with assholes that…

Exactly. Donald Trump has enabled people to use vicious anti-Semitic stereotypes and slurs against me since his nomination, and especially since his election. Since he won, I have faced more slurs than I EVER have in my entire adult life. This is not coincidence. My temple has had to up security, and we live in a…

Do you realize that there a lot of people who won’t have a choice about living their life in perpetual misery as a result of Trump’s election? This isn’t like a sports team losing. This isn’t people just being bummed out because their side didn’t win. The election of a president has a tangible effect on people’s…

i guess you missed all of the white supremacists who are themselves claiming that trump best represents their interests. most notably many of them were disengaged non-voters before 2016 and now they are in DC doing nazi salutes at fancy dinners. i mean yeah trump is not LITERALLY hitler but actual nazis are telling us…

Ah yes, my daughter has the same anxious reaction to a scary explosion in Transformers as a scary explosion on the news, which is why I smugly disregard both and pretend nothing can touch me to strangers on the internet.

Why is the reaction what’s important? I might react similarly to stubbing my toe and being shot in the leg. One is much more potentially fatal than the other.

There was no reason to think that Obama was a communist, or a Muslim. Anyone saying that was grossly misinformed, and making an unreasonable statement.

People engaged in political debates make exaggerated claims. True.

False Equivalency Alert

Well.... President Obama is a Constitutional Law scholar, and a successful politician, and generally a pretty cerebral guy.

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.
