In the context of religious belief, the “No True . . .” argument would most certainly appear to be correct since a religion is, by definition, a specific set of beliefs and behaviors. If someone does not follow those beliefs and behaviors, then they are, in fact, not a follower of that religion even if they claim to…

It’s “tone policing” to point out that a proposed law is unlikely to actually to have any impact on the problem it’s allegedly supposed to solve?

+1 That’s why journalists avoid it. A typical news story will mention multiple different individuals in it (for example, a story about a murder will probably mention the (a) victim, (b) suspect(s), (c) witness(es), (d) police detective(s)/spokespeople, and (e) people who knew the victim), so using “they” as a…

It’s almost always totally irrelevant to the subject at hand but many journalists insist on including it.

I have no padding left between my mouth and my deep belief that guns just need to be outlawed right now immediately. I mean, it isn’t like we lack a modern model to do so.

O RLY?

“Molderati” made me literally LOL!

Surely you mean a weak gag reflex?

This was likely a job requirement.

Except that one of the self-identified founders of BLM has described it in her own words as “a network of more than 30 regional chapters” (source: https://medium.com/@patrissemariecullorsbrignac/we-didn-t-start-a-movement-we-started-a-network-90f9b5717668 ), which makes it sound like there is something that exists as…

If you’re a network producer, why wouldn’t you want the President of the United States to come on your show? That would generate massive free publicity for the show and a big ratings bump even if it’s just for people to hatewatch.

1. Eliminating the mortgage interest deduction for second homes?

The evidence would be the fact that, as a matter of excruciatingly basic economics, to convert assets into cash for redistribution (because the vast, vast majority of that $8.4 trillion Nolan is talking about isn’t held as cash) you need a buyer for the assets, but if you try to put a hypothetical $8.4 trillion in…
