Trump is the president moron. His words and actions should get more coverage than a former Secretary of State/Presidential Candidate. 

Correcting blatant factual lies is the job of a journalist.

You not knowing about birthright citizenship in other countries is fine because you are not a journalist that has been working on a story on the topic for months. Nor are you planning to interview the president and ask him about it. I don’t actually believe he never once checked Wikipedia for the history and status of…

I’m rooting for a benevolent super-intelligent AI. 

I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do think that finding good evidence of ghosts would be the most important discovery in human history. It’s not going to be some nothingburger from a low-budget show on basic cable.

I don’t believe in ghosts or demons, but I love those stories the most, and they can definitely still creep me out. 

I don’t believe any of the paranormal stories, but they are my favorites. I can read about horrible people doing horrible things on the news all year long.
It’s Halloween after all, and it’s the time for ghosts and ghouls. The whole “based on a true story” framework is always used as a way to heighten drama, and…

I doubt it will change anything. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski aren’t stupid and they have been around the senate for a long time. They certainly understand that saying Roe is “an important precedent of the Supreme Court that has been reaffirmed many times” is just a statement of fact and in no way an indication of…

Thanks for pointing that out. I am amazed at the number of people who don’t understand the basics of how taxes work. Dipping into the next tax bracket is no big deal.
If I make $125,001; I will pay $0.28 more in taxes than if I made $125k. If the tax bracket stayed at 25%, then I would still pay $0.25 on that $1. The…

Blame the union for the the shitty CBA! No one put a gun to Bell’s head and forced him to sign those contracts. It’s not like the Rooneys are hoarding the money for themselves. The Steelers have had less salary cap space than most teams for years. Any additional money that goes to Bell is money that isn’t going to…

No one said he isn’t. Hell, his teammates up there aren’t really complaining about the holdout; they’re complaining about the uncertainty. He could say, “Fuck off, I’ll see you in week 11 to put in my 6 games,” but he hasn’t. 
They also have a right to be upset by the fact that his decisions are hurting them.

...then complaining about the offensive line’s salaries, which seems like a gripe worth bringing up with his bosses rather than blaming on his running back.

Questions like this will keep cropping up as long as we try to apply logic to tipping. The only logic to tipping is that it is socially expected that you tip X% under Y circumstances. That’s it. We tip 20% at restaurants because we will be considered cheap if we don’t. 
People have tried to argue that tipping is…

I have to believe that these sorts of opinions are shared all of the time, it’s just that the foreign officials they’re meeting with generally don’t tweet such things out to the public. 

If I’m being charitable, then I think the line she crossed was offering an opinion on a recent highly politicized referendum. However, I also can’t imagine things going well if her public service campaign was providing sex ed, contraception, and abortion services to underserved groups. So the topic itself definitely…

Saying it’s the “other 50% of the population” that opposes abortion, isn’t actually correct. The gender divide on abortion is pretty narrow to non-existent.
In 2017, Pew found that 59% of US women thought abortion should be legal in most cases, and 55% of men did too (link). Also in 2017, Gallup found that 18% of US wo…

In theory, to this day the Queen or King of England could unilaterally veto any act by Parliament with no hope of override if they so chose.

Well, don’t get upset when people think that by “Abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement” you mean that you want to no longer enforce immigration and customs laws. If you have to explain that your message doesn’t actually mean what it says, then it’s probably not a good message.

I think the proper rallying cry is just Humane Immigration Laws Now! or something like that. That’s a message the vast majority of Americans support, and it paints your rivals as wanting cruel immigration laws. “Abolish ICE” implies you want to eliminate immigration and customs enforcement, which isn’t something that…

Then we need a better message. “Abolish ICE” clearly implies that we support getting rid of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If that’s not what we want to imply, then we should find a new rallying cry. The left wants humane immigration laws while the right wants cruel immigration laws. That’s a winning message.…
