Dementia is certainly part of it. His dad had it. But often times, the simplest explanation is the best: he lies and lies. While he's gotten worse, he has always been a prolific liar. Before he was president, he's lied about everything from the square footage of the property he was selling, the...

The most perfect shortcut to never being taken seriously (and showing one's cards as an apparatchik) is accusing anyone of "TDS." Opposing Trump isn't derangement. Opposing Trump is based on this thing called logical consistency and thinking pure ignorance and assholery have no place in a...

You can't put a square peg in a round hole. Who was the Stable Genius who blew up the JCPOA again? Even Trump's first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was trying to fix the Iran Deal rather than nuking it (pun unintended). I haven't even touched how Trump and town drunk Hegseth said Iran's...

I'm sure all the people who support preemptive war with Iran can explain all the different and contradicting reasons the Trump administration has given for the attack--if they can keep up with all of them, that is. When even George W Bush looks better for at least making a public case for war...

In men, there is no need for a distinction. Now, much like the economic concept of utility, the third or fourth orgasm in a row might not be as satisfying (much like donut #4 isn't as delicious as #1), but it's still an orgasm. The distinction is important in women. Evolutionary biology is...

(A) If I readily conceded--twice--that appearance in the files is not in and of itself evidence of wrongdoing, there's no logical connection of any sort to me making people guilty by association. (B) "Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this."...

I 100% agree with your first sentence and I said as much in the previous post. Just appearing in the files doesn't mean anything, but the context and what was said absolutely does. Of the few people who have stepped down from their posts or the public eye, like Larry Summers, CEO of Chuck E...

First, before the files were released my take was the files won't necessarily be a smoking gun but it will prove associations i.e. there won't be enough to file criminal charges. That might still be correct, but the files show a lot of very unsavory things going on. Without explicitly detailing...

Just reading this thread for the first time. Some of the previous posts make me go full-on "Yikes!" If one thinks the media is just sympathetic to the victims and the victims are making stuff up, then how does one explain how so many men from different political affiliations (with money and...

You went 0-2. Don't care about the spread cuz I only gamble on women and not sports, but glad Seattle won. Patriots can comfort themselves with the 6 championships they already have.

Halloween Mike spoke of stings. Pages back, Cloud 500 said something about how much more aggressive with prosecution they are in the US. The incident that made me take a break from this activity in my home city and led me to Montreal was a bust in a major Southern US city (rhymes with Fanta)...

Yeah. Everyone from Noem to Miller has backtracked from everything they said right after the shooting and playing the blame game among each other only because of the intense backlash to this particular incident. What made Pretti's death different was Republican pushback partly because Pretti...

This thread is a microcosm of something I think often in the Trump era. Trump doesn't endure simply because of separate left and right media siloes. The only way anyone doesn't know what he stands for at this point is if they've been living in a cave for a decade. Rather, Trump is still a...

You're a few decades too late, my friend. He may already have it, which is just as well cuz dude probably can't get it up anymore to catch syphilis right now (he's long believed that exercise drains the body's battery. Look it up). The effects of tertiary stage syphilis include many...

This is totally normal, right? I mean, it's just a deal, right? :p:mad:
