I suppose there are a few threads I could place this. Probably no forum website has as much general awareness and specific depth of knowledge to contextualize the varied observations. In general, the attacks on Western Civilization (meaning elected democracies with free speech and protected human ri...

I skimmed through this quickly, so if its been said, I think it still bears repeating. Its about the process, not the outcome. How was the Clinton impeachment? It wasn't a victory at the end. Its about WHAT HASN'T HAPPENED. Because the GOP controlled House and Senate there were not open hearings. Un...

It wasn't just a graphic on a misleading tweet from Trump. It was a screen shot of a FOX graphic, and ,Lou Dobbs talked about it, digressed for a minute, then went back to it, with a guest talking about how "correct" that was... And that was a perfect screen grab. So, a fake graphic Lou Dobbs endors...

Does this mean Assange can be subpoenaed in the 2016 election related investigation?

And... Yes. This may deserve its own thread.
Trump's tweets are hitting a new level of "inciting" , admitting obstruction, and sheer insanity. The pedantic discussion of case law is worthy of discussion...somewhere.

I think the "Handmaid Tale" analogy is bogus. Disney characters were created by Disney for Disney's use as the essence of their image. The movie adaptation is just that. But, the Music created for that movie was a unique creation . The Music, original song, written and performed by, has a tradition ...

I'll put in a counter-point--- and not just to take the Devil's Advocate opinion for discussion purposes. There are several reasons to retain the system (and yet fix the problem) and really only one to ditch the electoral system. The one reason to change it is "sour grapes" that the Democratic candi...

I guess "Bernie 2020" will have a thread... I never felt the burn. So, this was a recent FB post. Ok. More of a rant. ******** ********* I support progressive policies. Ones that can work. What does that mean? Not to be half baked. The worst thing about 45 is what he is costing us --a future of bein...

Yes, we are essentially at the point of inferred genetic data using Slartibartfast tools.
But it isn't a database commonly accessible and will certainly get more accurate with time.

I'm in the process of learning the basics of causality and data analysis and am impressed by its utility.

It's so obvious what happened... cough cough The government was shut down, so Stone relaxes as he isn't likely to be arrested. Like any good Prepper, he has his "bug-out bag" ready by the door. Or, as the Trump Crime family calls it, " Ankle Bracelet Club" bag. Since Friday would seem to safe since ...

Does anybody remember his tenure in NYC?????? Looking for sarcasm quotes. Because without them, as an honest question , I remember nothing of it. That being said, I'm not even sure if I was living in the states. And, as my Drivers Education teacher said, "If no one remembers any details of your dri...

I listened to as much mental mush as I could stand on the "sound canon" /ELF military tech...
Which slid into mind control tech???

Then, I realized it ALL made sense when the connection is made that it is based on ancient Aztec satellite technology.

Well...As much as American Interventionism in the Americas has been one debacle after another, I'm not sure this is a bad thing. But, there is more going on here than being discussed with the Russian influence and military planes and submarines and armaments going to Venezuela , even when they were ...

After being told that he would be denied parole and have to serve at least 5(five) more years, the lanky prisoner plucked the toothpick out of his mouth, looked at the attractive lady warden, and said, "What do you say, we make love, and you speak to the parole board and get me out of here?" The war...

From Gizmodo - President Trump Posts Altered Photos to Facebook and Instagram That Make Him Look Thinner In recent months, Trump’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts have published photos of the president that have been manipulated to make him look thinner. If it only happened once you might ...

That's more or less it.
And, whew, that school certainly didn't need any scrutiny.

Regarding the Latino approval rating going from 36% in December to 50% now, it was an NPR poll with 3% margin of error... Careful about tossing that 3% MOE around. (3.8% actually) -- that is for the full sample -- the MOE increases as you drill into the smaller subsets/cross-tabs. The survey of 1,0...

Ah, yes. Popeye. Not one of my better recruits. He an I are currently "discussing" the merits of the OSG getting China to accept rice imports from the US. He seems to think it's akin to a super salesman selling ice to Eskimos. I pointed out that China is the world's biggest rice importer, with Viet...

Regarding the Latino approval rating going from 36% in December to 50% now, it was an NPR poll with 3% margin of error... I hope some coffee is brewing at the DNC. As I stated on another thread, the GOP isnt doomed because Trump supporters are all old and dying fossils (errr- a figure of speech) usi...

When it was cold, my grandmother would make spiced cider for us kids by using the big old school plug in coffee percolator by filling it with apple juice and putting red hots (cinnamon candy) in the part where the coffee went. Really easy and good. Fast forward 20 years and post ice storm I had the ...

Perfect clea chilly night an about half occluded. No tinge of pink.

The New York Times ‏ Verified account @nytimes 1m1 minute ago More Climate change is enabling Germany to grow grape varieties that used to be impossible. But warmer, drier weather also makes it harder to produce the most classic of German wines — the dry, light, fresh Riesling. https://www.nytimes....

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/20/us/nathan-phillips-covington.html#click=https://t.co/H0EYQ0PcmU . It was a provocative image that rocketed across social media, leading many, including the students’ own school, to condemn the boys’ behavior as disrespectful. But on Sunday, Mr. Phillips clarified t...
