  • Donald Trump Loses London Case Against Ex-MI6 Spy Over Kremlin Dossier

  • Is this the pee pee tape dossier?

  • Donald Trump will not win a war against the Swifties

  • We're about 80% of the way to Idiocracy.

  • It's not that MAGA doesn't believe E. Jean Carroll — they just don't care that Trump abuses women

  • WTF are you talking about? I'm sorry, I can't parse what you've said as a response to what I said. I do, however, hear that you are very angry. I'm sorry for your frustration and hope you are able to figure out some positive way to channel that energy. I agree, there's a lot going on in the world that is super-upsetting. I just don't think we'll solve anything by dehumanizing broad swathes of the population. Sure, some people are assholes and they're certainly over-represented among Trump supporters. But, for example, the other dude who responded about his mother. Someone like her is not such a black-and-white case. And, generally, more is accomplished by trying to understand the motivations of others than by dismissing them as bad people.

    Edit: But, yes, some people are bad (Trump, for example). And, it is not a good use of time to try to understand their motivations. I guess it comes down to how and where to draw that boundary of empathy, so-to-speak.

  • If that let's you disengage from the issue, then OK. But, alas, reality is more nuanced than that.

  • A lot of it boils down to abortion. When you see abortion as baby murder, it would take an awful lot to offset that moral significance. In other words, many who support Trump wouldn't exactly condone rape, corruption, etc, but they feel abortion is a much larger moral issue.

  • Oh no the neural implant project backfired, I must now spread the logs throughout the building an leave a distress message in Latin

  • Drums in the deep!

  • If reality weren't wholly rational, could one ever come to terms with it, or would one rationalize it instead?

    Jump

  • In fact, reality is not apparently basically rational. Why does anything exist at all? Surely, the trivial solution would be a simpler state of affairs. Why is existence not nothing forever? Why there exists anything instead of nothing (let alone you and me, in particular) does not stand to reason.

  • E Jean Carroll to spend $83m defamation award on 'something Donald Trump hates'

    Jump

  • I doubt it. I don't think information that doesn't involve him directly even enters into his awareness.

  • E Jean Carroll to spend $83m defamation award on 'something Donald Trump hates'

    Jump

  • I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.

  • Private and/or cheap places to register a domain

    Jump

  • This is the correct answer if privacy is your priority. They're not particularly cheap, however.

  • Choose carefully

    Jump

  • And how're we supposed to learn when y'all keep dumbing shit down?

  • Joe Biden Faces Growing Calls to Federalize Texas National Guard

    Jump

  • Shall we unite behind God-King Trump then? The more decentralized and "competitive" the system, the better for most individuals. Sure, there is inefficiency, but those inefficiencies might save us from fascism.

  • Netanyahu defies Biden, insisting there’s ‘no space’ for Palestinian state

  • Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest

    Jump

  • It's jangling keys. So long as there are enough headlines about cousins banging, we won't have enough time left over to get upset about corruption, fascism, etc.

  • A little fish at the Supreme Court could take a big bite out of regulatory power

    Jump

  • The same group that wants unlimited, unassailable power for the Executive is concerned that Executive agencies creating policy is overreach.

  • Congress announces major tax deal to expand child tax credit and revive breaks for businesses

    Jump

  • It's almost like there aren't two sides at all...

  • Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

    Jump

  • I've done the same! It's impossible to buy dumb TVs nowadays, but you can always prevent them from connecting to the network.

  • Chuck 'em in the garbage and get something that doesn't break when you insist on privacy.

    Honest question: what was Hamas' long-game with respect to kidnapping Israelis? Did they think Israel would just negotiate rather than retaliate?
