Another major brick in the wall Tbaby is building around himself.

Another one: Nearly 80% of Americans believe in angels.

My contention, you could say guess, is it all goes back to the voters, just as it does with GOP Senators. If enough Dems in the House felt voter pressure to impeach they would. Too many believe they’re positions in their districts are precarious. There’s only a Dem majority due to flipping some previously GOP seats. It…

At my gym today 2 TV’s side by side, Fox and CNN. Fox commentator was saying the whole obstruction and collusion nonsense has totally collapsed after the Mueller hearing, while CNN was saying the Dems are really ramping up the investigation by subpoenaing the grand jury evidence and beginning the impeachment process. …

They’re deathly afraid if they don’t support him they’ll lose their tax cuts, guns, anti-abortion judges, and official authorization to be racist and anti-LGBTQ. Not to even mention the “End Times” lunatics and Alex Jones psychotics. The more he’s attacked the more afraid, defensive and entrenched they become.

“Trump Attacks Elijah Cummings, Calling Him a ‘Brutal Bully’”

I was just pointing out that currently there’s a high correlation between science deniers/religious belief and Trump support. Even though Trump is probably one of the very last people anyone would choose as an example of religious virtue.

And that Pew research you point to states that atheists are “trying to hide” a specific piece of demographic data?

Trump’s poll numbers have recently gone up. I wouldn’t expect GOP Senators in a debate to be any more forthright than the GOP members in the Mueller hearing were. It’s all obfuscation, distraction, deflection, and lies, and Trump’s supporters couldn’t care less. As long as they get their tax cuts, guns, conservative…

The problem is belief motivates action, including voting, and the consequences of that can be horrific. All well and good to live and let live as far as belief, but believers often don’t feel the same, and can clearly feel compelled to force others to adhere to their rules. Probably the greatest challenge humans have…

Don’t accept this view. If it were so then religious belief and denial of evolution would be relatively consistent across countries and religions. It’s not. There’s nothing preventing us from making “the first explanation given” the most rational one.

I’m disappointed every day when I wake up and realize again that Trump being President wasn’t just a nightmare.

Pretty good correlation between percent of those who believe humans are only 10,000 yrs old, and level of Trump support.

Saying “most of them have failed to hit us in 4.5b years” is a nonsense stat. Also, I said nothing about “ending life on earth”. The dinosaur event is proof that earth is vulnerable and the potential consequences are very significant.

Oh yeah?  Ask the dinosaurs.  Early bombardment was very heavy, but things have mostly settled down.  Still there are more big bombs to come, just a matter of when.

Semantics. By block I meant fail to pass. Yes, no argument from me on how monstrous he is, or deserving of impeachment and far worse. But until enough voters turn on him to actually scare enough Senators he’s going nowhere. I really have no idea what it would take, or if it’s even possible, but clearly we’re not there…

Yeah, I meant if a full impeachment process was undertaken and Pelosi supported it then I would expect it to be passed by a majority in the House which is all that’s required to pass it to the Senate. I think the recent vote reflects what I said, knowing it will fail in the Senate and being unsure of the impact has…

If Pelosi let’s it get to a vote in the House I’d imagine it would pass. The harder question is what would be the impact of it failing in the Senate, which barring some extraordinary development is guaranteed. My uninformed guess is Pelosi is stalling hoping for that extraordinary development that even the Senate…

Seems like there’s one of these every week or so.  One of these days She won’t miss.

With touch sensors and video how subjective is this call?  Seems having a judge looking through splashing water at hands faster than eyes touches for “simultaneous” is ripe for unnecessary controversy.
