Brevity is the soul of wit. The ability to refer to pages’ worth of criticism of a target with a single phrase is not dumb, but brilliant. Your line of reasoning is the product of people who are afraid to use shorthand because they lack confidence their position can stand on its own against counterarguments, without…

Russia was involved in hacking dnc servers, among other targets, and given the closeness of the election it’s implausible to claim their interference wasn’t enough to tip the balance. And you don’t know whether they handed the presidency to a manchurian candidate or not, you are lying when you pretend to know - unless…

That’s what you get annoyed by? Not kids in cages ... Ponder how privileged your life must be to get worked up about something like that.

The sooner your views plummet to zero, the better. You are not welcome here.

Speaking of being a cancer to discourse, look at your own posts.

Thanks for this illustration of sleazy debate technique. When the subject is obama’s economy, he didn’t build it, but when the subject is trump’s economy (which trump is less responsible for than obama was for his economy) you merely note that the economy is good under trump, implicitly assigning responsibility for…

No, Naomi’s not being misleading, you are.

Should I be surprised to see you jumping full-tilt into rape apology and denialism? Or surprised to see virtually nobody here has a problem with it, so long as it’s in the service of going after steve king? Holy fuck, dude. Of course sexual violence was incredibly common in history, as it is to this day. Or perhaps…

First of all, that’s an idiotic false dichotomy - it’s only reasonable to believe some people can be redeemed and some can’t. But since we are doing dichotomies, we either believe in the cheap grace/phony redemption that is pretty much universally what is on tap when “redemption” is called for in western culture, or…

No way, you don't want the pedophiles to go godzilla.

Cnn gets broadcasted in 100 some countries, could some random CNN anchor displace the Pope? You’re aware that most people don’t watch TV, right?

Tell that to Trump voters.

Maybe, but that doesn’t matter, because the world has always been shaped by determined minorities, not by the unmobilized majority. If I’ve learned anything from the past few decades it’s that an idea pushed for a long time without effective opposition will win out, even if it seems impossible at the time. Right now "…

 Your strawman construction needs work.

The Olympics only have value in as far as fat, contented first worlders and the corporations that serve them think of them as socially respectable. If the reputation of the Olympics is successfully blackened, autocrats will lose interest- they are a weak rod for the Olympic movement to be leaning on.

Bullshit. Belichick had that team in contention until the impending move knocked the wind out of everyone's sails, and the previous season he won 12 games (including postseason). He was entirely capable of winning in cleveland.

You appear to be a leftist parodying rightwing trolling, but in case you are a genuine rightwing troll, I thought you should know that the phrase “radical liberals” makes you look stupid. Try “radical leftists" next time.

S”omeone is going to be getting a good spanking from daddy before bed tonight.”

He's suing for the value of the rest of his contract, which is presumably more than the offered buy-out.

I’m a little unclear, but I think the troll must be referring to the time in the mid-nineteenth century when savages invaded Texas and eventually tore it away from its motherland. Those savages are responsible for what’s wrong with Texas to this very day.
