“many American immigrants (and immigrants from other English-speaking countries) of the last two decades have been almost exclusively quite religious far-right-wingers.”

That’s an insult to ordinary run of the mill assholes.

Too late in Alex Jones case. He exhibits many signs of neurosyphilis.. 

Actually, his LAWYER argued that he was playing a role only to have that argument undermined by Alex Jones who live-streamed from his car on the way to the hearing that his own lawyer was full of shite. It’s that live-stream that ultimately cost him custody.

It isn’t so much that I think Thiel would be a negative influence on Trump as much as Thiel is interested in Thiel, power and the acquisition of additional wealth. Giving someone who would ABSOLUTELY use his unfettered access to non-public and classified information for personal gain and / or grudge is asinine....

In Goops case, the guy screaming about CIA mind control and the tin foil hat vendor are business partners.

Never had a problem with snakes, but I’ve lost count of all the dogs and a particularly bad tempered deer that’ve tried to kill me.

The same lists should be made available to foreign tourists visiting the US. I waited tables at a popular restaurant while in high school. We attracted a substantial number of French tourists who would occupy a table for several hours (note to those unfamiliar with the restaurant industry, servers have a set number of…

Another sad attempt to establish moral equivalency where none exists.

“he has military advisors that will not let nukes be the first go-to choice”

Cuba is stunningly beautiful and the people are by and large nice. It’s also arguable one of the safest places in the Caribbean for foreign tourists.

If you fail to make the distinction between carrying a RFID badge (that DOES NOT store A LOT more than just your employee ID that you remove after hours) and an IMPLANT that (by design) is intended to store highly personal information that any script kiddie can access, your naiveté is astonishing.

McDonald’s pointed out that levels found in its ice samples were quite low, and “not reliable indicators of potential health risks.”

As much as I thoroughly detest Trump and his progeny, it’s unlikely this will go anywhere. Though if it did lead to Trump resigning office, we would be royally screwed unless he took Pence with him! Trump might make us a laughing stock on the global stage, but Pence is seriously dangerous. A true believer and…

1) The Trump administration completely purged all of Obamas appointees, so to state that retaliation is a factor is asinine.

One important distinction needs to be made. Researchers used UV radiation in their experiment. In The Martian, Mark Watney grew his spuds in a highly controlled environment INDOORS as it were. Perhaps they should rerun the experiment, sans UV and tell us their results...

It isn’t just a question of frequency, but more importantly of energy output within a closed EM field.

Well technically the sky isn’t blue, so yeah, they’re still a freaking liar...

Wait WHAT? I thought Sharknado was a documentary and NOW you’re telling me it’s not?

The issue is less about troops than ships. ALL of our “combat” vessels originated from either Savannah Georgia or the east coast (primarily Maine) shipyards. The west coast “Emergency Shipbuilding Program” was limited to “Liberty Ships.” A decision made from concerns that the Japanese Navy would pull out all stops to…
