Is this a sex innuendo, Car Guy?

Agreed. But we are pretty freaking corrupt, this America.

The bad apples routine is a psychological or legal distancing technique to avoid looking at complicity.

This is spot on, and this is the part that makes most folks very uncomfortable. Because it suggests that we are all capable of some bad shit. (Note: we are all capable of some bad shit.)

It’s utter madness.

Which is weird, partly because it would seem to open the door for a primary challenger who argues, no, it’s not impossible, and yes, we totally can do that, and here’s the policy proposal to do it.

Wonder why we can’t seem to break it back the other way.

I am enjoying the outside perspectives here. Sounds accurate from inside the asylum.

Here in America, when we don’t like reality, the “grown ups” just change the meaning of words to suit whatever they feel like tbey should mean; the better to suit whatever eclectic ideology tidbits that Grandma and Grandpa Baby Boomer/Greatest Generation impress upon us.

Like that mighty fine list, do you? Qué surprise indeed, Señor Davis.

You are welcome!

Maybe because I’m not making a point but just a silly visual joke?

Oh, for sure. You got it.

The majority of the world’s population still believe that these nonsense fairy tales are real.

Christian American God has clearly shown a preference for a more “rape-y” and/or murderous type of leader.

He really, really is.

Yup. The snake done ate its tail. Capitalism blew through the guard rails the minute the Dems stopped being the party of worker bees, and started being the party of corporate complicity, of Nancy Pelosi and “I’m the biggest fundraiser in the history of blah, blah...”

Rachel Maddow spent an entire show speculating about Russia hacking our power grid.

Well there was a commenter last week in here on one of these Huawei stories, who opined that Putin secretly advised Trump to take the Chinese spyware to tank American interests. And Trump did so knowingly.

For sure. Soccer is not so violent, and...HOLY CRAP!
