It could be generally true that both Biden and Trump have been almost equally guilty of telling their supporters that the other was dangerous to democracy and that we've only seen the violence that we've seen because Trump has a lot of violent morons among his supporters and Biden's are more...

Magnus, if you want to make a point here, you'll need to connect something that Biden said publicly with a negative consequence. Can you do that? Go listen to or read Trump's Jan 6 speech. Full disclosure, I have done neither, but I have it on trusted authority that he told them to "Fight...

I don't know how many people read QAnon stuff. I have always assumed it was a very tiny percentage. But Mattel accidentally prints a porn URL on some Wicked dolls and it is staggering to me how many people comment on Facebook that they did it on purpose. How many people have been trained now...

Not always too sure of Pale Rider's FB Friend (friends?), but that is a pretty good management summary of Trump's campaign.

Leaking. Freudian slip.

I haven't watched Kamala's concession speech, but the headline I saw said "We will be okay" which was really weird after a campaign about an existential threat to democracy and if you don't believe me ask the generals and his chief of staff and all the people who worked with him. But I don't...

Say what you will about the deep state, the Departments do know how to operate regardless of their political spokesperson boss. I've never seen any exposure of the meetings the level down there, but I expect they are a lot like when Trump goes to the Pentagon. The other people at the table...

The second one was very clearly incensed by Trump's position on Ukraine.

Of course you did. I am EVERY BIT as pedantic as you are. :) -=-=- We are actually saying the same thing. Trump and his supporters may succeed in changing the word. His most clever trick is to brazenly tell people what to think and then sit back and watch them do it. But I had never seen...

We were kids and there was not WWW. People's reactions were not recorded.

I don't see how TMP is better.

Dogpiling Deathy was rude, but he didn't just appear out of nowhere yesterday. He has posted a lot of nothing comments in the last couple of weeks. Never saying anything except some version of "Not everyone thinks so"

In 1989, I had only seen a few episodes of TOS, a few episodes of TNG, and Star Trek 3 once in the theater. When they found God, I thought it was God, and then found out with them that it wasn't. Much more informed now, there were a handful of TOS episodes where they met godlike beings, even...

I used the word "extreme" and you picked up the word "extremist" and they don't mean the same thing to me. When I said extreme, I mean the greatest difference from the median view. If I had said extremist, I would have meant a position that is untenably distant from the norm. To your average...

When defining "far-left" you do not have to get out a poster board and speculate the most extreme positions possible on every issue you can think of. You also don't have to compere to Norway. The rule of thumb should be that the common speech is correct, not the mathematical possibilities. In...

Oh.

NBC Calls: 207 Blue, 216 Red My Calls: 2 Blue, 6 Red ----> 209 - 222, GOP in control 4 Seats still too close to call lean 3 Blue, 1 Red -----------> My best guess is 212 - 223, a net gain of 2 seats for the Republicans

When someone is sufficiently groomed, they never find out the tax cuts are not trickling down to them. What is happening is that they are so much better off than they would have been under the Democrats' failed policies.

I saw 5 in the theater when I was a kid and liked it fine. Later I felt like it was weak, but I have forgiven it a lot since then. Like TMP, and not like 2-4, it does make a strong case for how we would do TOS if we had 2 hours and a large budget. Those good character moments are actually...

Their viewers like billionaires getting rich. It means probably they will too.
