My husband’s take on that interview when we watched it last night: “She used the word ‘conflate’, so she must not be speaking to Trump voters.”

They’ve been growing them shorter the past few decades? :-)

Presume countries are equals, much like people are supposed to be in the “land of the free”. Look at all the Repubs’ comments through this lens. Then you get some idea of what the rest of the world thinks of the USA.

I agree. And even a broken clock is right twice a day, right?

Is it just me or would he make a reasonably attractive woman? With the right styling of course.

A war with China would be a NUCLEAR war. “Better to kill of all mankind now than later”?

Why do I get the impression that Ms. Broccoli has had all the best-looking men in Britain at this point? I bet even Ms. Hiddleston is keen on jumping on her casting couch. Maybe she’s been stretching out the selection process for her own puerile purposes?

Doesn’t look too smug there, does he?

Harrington would be the best James Bond that Munchkin Land has ever seen!!!

They have a cure for DEATH, FFS. Remember John Snow? Anything can happen at this point. Just hope they don’t gloss over the greyscale thing and have him show up at an opportune moment with some story about a witch he met who gave him the spleen of the rabid alpine fire newt and cured him.

What I don’t get is why any of her baby daddies didn’t try to intervene. One of them is EDDIE MURPHY, ffs. I think he could have just made this Belafonte guy disappear in a puff of dust if she’d asked him to, or even if she did not ask him to, to protect his own kid. Such a weird dynamic that happens with domestic…

For a very abbreviated version of the list: A small water pump at REI to purify water, or, if all else fails, iodine tablets will kill any nasties in the water. A gigantic bag of Quinoa, which you can eat off of and replace as needed to keep it fresh. Quinoa is the healthiest grain out there and weighs less than…

Conscience or conscious? Either way it works.

I was talking more about persuasion. YOU and I know what we know, but how do you explain it to the red-staters? I always start with something personal. Ask them about which of their grandparents/ancestors died of dysentery, diphtheria, and other curable/preventable diseases. Explain to them that the scientific method…

This is just the wedge you need to use. If Joe Trucker can see with his own eyes that he is being lied to by a group of people he has trusted, you might just sneakily throw it in there to him that maybe they are lying about other issues as well. That’s how it starts. I always start with the “personal” and work my way…

A world full of guns and western-style shootouts is apparently the world we have made for ourselves. The other first-world countries don’t have these problems. Want to know why?

I don’t think it DOES need to be done. You are much more likely to be hit by lightning than involved in an active shooter event. I was incensed that my office put us through all this last year. All it does is add an unnecessary level of stress.

Why do you keep trying to make the whole “celebrity” argument happen? Nobody mentioned celebrities. These Fox ladies were not celebrities. They were shills and were being trotted out as propaganda. It’s all been outlined for you in the comments above. If you are too obtuse to see what’s going on, then there is no hope…

Extra star for my new favorite Twitler euphemism: “Cockwomble”.

The elephant in the room: We will NEVER know what happened between Casey A and those women. It was truly a private matter. If he had been convicted of some crime, it would become public record, but, short of that, nobody has any clue whatsoever.
