Corbyn campaigned against Brexit. He just didn't do it very well because a) he's not a very good communicator and B) he insisted on putting his principles first and leading with the poor argument of 'the EU's not great but…'

We might suck at sharing but we don't suck quite as much at hiring.

I saw quadruplets on a TV show and I wondered how common they were, so I looked it up, and I also looked up how common quintuplets are. There's a big difference between the two numbers. If I find something implausible, I laugh less. It's funny with 4 of them. If there were more than 4 I'd swing firmly against the idea

www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmw…. But I stand by my own arbitrary skepticism; science works in mysterious ways. 500 years ago people could have believed in mobile phone and electricity (see the Mitchell & Webb 'Greatest Invention Yet' sketch), and one man famously believed in the possibility of helicopters. But

It was Holocaust Memorial Day this week. I could have done without both the manner of death and its graphic depiction, let alone the moral implications.

There are 3500 sets of quadruplets worldwide but only about 13 of quintuplets. The line must be drawn here, this far, no farther.

I wish Lucifer would possess him like he did Jefferson Rooney. He'd be a safer president.

The John Lockes of America might say that sooner once the hatch of America starts imploding around them thanks to their own actions. At that point they will need an Eko/Desmond figure to rescue them.

According to one poll, 49% of Brexit supporters gave sovereignty as their main reason, 39% immigration.

Hypocrisy runs a lot deeper in Christianity than its tenets should allow it to.

Even Farage is defending the rights of the president's position rather than his actions per se.

Can't rely on that. Look at how old Mugabe is.

You know who invented the term 'assault rifle'?

Perhaps it would benefit his core supporters to be deported to the UK, where they can gain sanity from an increased population density. In exchange, we could deport the most rabid of our Brexiters, who would probably be more comfortable in an environment where they don't have to interact with as many people.

One positive is that his legislative supporters are from the pre-existing, largely non-fascist Republican Party, whereas Hitler's were from the specifically Nazi NSDAP.

There's a passage from John Toland's 'Adolf Hitler' biography about how in 1932 a lot of Germans thought that Hitler would temper his antisemitism once in office.

He's a megalomaniac who achieved power by promising discrimination. It's therefore not a surprise that he should enact that discrimination once in power, lest he be stripped of it by the same pro-discrimination people. Whether he believes in what he's doing is still technically in doubt; more importantly, it's

"If I go, the Presidency dies!"
"You did not kill me; you will not kill it!"

What about people who voted for him on the basis that they thought Clinton was worse, or that a Democrat was worse, but who don't support his specific agenda? I would think there would be a significant number of those.
