We are all “partially black” - we are all “partially white” - insomuch as we carry the genes of the original homeland of all Homo sapiens; Africa and we’re all related. So all that remains to quibble over is phenotype (appearances) or the phenotype of a recent relation. To make more of this than this limit allows is…

It would be an instant firing if a reporter shouted a reasonable question: “Senator McConnell! you’ve now concluded that child molestation is acceptable behavior for a republican senator; did you try it out yourself?”

Bannon still has trump’s ear. Bannon thinks bringing down the government in general is a useful goal as part of his demented version of mein-kampf. That’s sufficient to expect that trump will occasionally believe and blather that a government shutdown is a goodly goodly thing; until one of the few others functioning…

Surprise!: Driving with even the dubious safety records of a human driver requires being able to accurately model the behavior of another human. That is, the only sane hope for autonomous vehicles involves a specially designed roadway/track (see also: airport shuttle trams).

Little doubt that someone of greater eloquence has already stated this, but on the off-chance they’ve yet to arrive: some months ago trump threatened to sue all his, more numerous sexual harassment accusers and hasn’t done squat. So threatening to sue on matters such as these can be seen as about as significant as…

Sing out private!!: “All volunteer military!” “We chose this because we had no better alternatives!” “My career councilor said this was my best hope not to end up in jail!” “My daddy had a lifelong stable job in industry!” “Sir YES Sir!” -sigh- God bless them all.

Doing my part everyday! At this rate I should be dead in a few months. I invite all extraneous Y-chromosome cases to throw themselves upon my pyre. Then, oh then, what an eden it shall be! sans Adams, sans serpents, sans fart jokes. Until that halcyon day, please abort all male babies, they are no more than risk to a…

Besides, when the palm flower crystal starts to flash you just go to a glorious renewal Carousel.

Item #1 in the Big Boys Golden Book of Banana Republics: bend all government resources to persecute/punish all prior competition no matter that they no longer represent any direct threat.

While journalistically plumbing the depths of the fringes of human psychology a little Markov chain reasoning may assist: you’re talking to a trump voter (what does this tell us is likely about this person?) you’re talking to a trump voter who is willing to publicly defend their behavior (what does this tell us about…

Plutocrats can’t write (hence ghostwriters). So all those brave union joiners ought to get together and establish “The Union Gazette” (or any number of other nouns for “Union” to modify: “Reporter”, “Journal”, “Intelligencer”, “Sun”, ...) The masthead should read “Union fellowship from the top to the bottom”. (Karl…

old-biochemist here to cast a wooden shoe into some machinery; you say:

The theory that Putin has blackmail against trump has been stated often. Wouldn’t it make as much, if not more sense, that Putin has blackmail (“compromat”) against the Putin “friendship medal” recipient Tillerson? This explains why Tillerson is so bereft and yet that he must stay on as Putin’s ‘station chief’ within…

Anything that involves changing the color of your skin or facial features or hair to mimic another race. This may include: blackface, brownface, redface, and/or yellowface.

The republican strategists and Russians (is there still a difference?) know that the most effective means of neutralizing the opposition is by splitting their alliance. Whether it’s the “third party candidate” or “identity politics” it’s all good to them. It explains why so much Russian effort was made for Jill Stein.…

Some intrepid reporter really ought to do some extensive reporting as to why august institutions, such as Harvard, heap opprobrium on themselves with such substance-less celebrity appointments. For example, do they unaccountably insist that Spicer, purely by proximity to the white-house usurper, has a point of view…

While many of us long suspected that there was rampant hypocrisy in main stream religious organizations, there has never been such an overt and undeniable proof of such hypocrisy than their acceptance of such a man of a character utterly selfish, lascivious, avaricious, and all other deadly sins. Any encounter with…

One might also consider that they’ve abandoned their previous kindle models. Can’t even sync their otherwise excellent DX model’s time anymore.

From this brave bit of reporting we may extrapolate wildly: if you’re a trump-voter you’re so wracked with illness, penury, and, loneliness that you’ve lost any facility for empathy or clear cognition ..? (and not that you’re a closet misogynist racist bastard who thinks they’ll profit from republican tax cuts)

This overdue social horror has still more triggers to offer those who would post in understandable passion. Right from the start we read here:
