(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:

We choose Denmark over US, Greenland's PM says https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g3kw5ezepo

The first paragraph is what the dictionary calls "pedantry." It is a distinction without a difference. If you choose to focus on that, here is a reminder that the seller is not interested in selling. https://www.reuters.com/world/denmark-pm-repeats-that-greenland-is-not-sale-2025-02-03/ In...

Unlike Torycats, my recent and memorable experiences have been with independents. And this has been consistent for me for at least 2-3 years. Agency quality has taken a significant downturn ever since things opened back up after the pandemic. Vast majority of my amazing experiences before 2020...

For the millionth time, you can only negotiate a purchase if the seller is interested in selling. Why are you glossing over that simple detail? Greenland has repeatedly said they're not interested in a sale. Trump yesterday: We're going to do something about Greenland whether they like it or not.

As much as I intensely loathe the man, a part of me feels sorry for him because he is very obviously not well. His dad had dementia. But even if his family won't do anything cuz Trump won't listen, the greater failure here is the Republican Party lying down and letting him do what he wants to...

Thank you, attentive person. The US already has agreements with Greenland to build military bases there. The little effort to dispense with rational justification with all these foreign incursions is a measure of the steep decline of the GOP. Even George W Bush's administration routinely denied...

Tony Schwartz did most of the ghostwriting for that book. When Trump ran in 2016, Schwartz made several public warnings that Trump is not fit to be president. I guess when you work closely with someone to write a book, you find out who they are. But from 2016 to 2024 when even lifelong...

A) The problem with your apologist take is the US is NOT ruling out military force to take Greenland. B) This is not about a referendum. There has been exactly zero intentions on Greenland wanting to become a US territory. This is about modern day imperialism. The same Trump who hasn't even...

Whatever happens, I just want you guys to remember some of us tried to prevent the chaos that's been inflicted on Canada (that no one even anticipated) and the world by voting for Harris. It's just that our country is so broken that even after a decade, there are millions who don't see what's...

I like that we can discuss more than women. Because while women are tied as my favorite thing ever, turns out, there are other things in life besides women and sex. That said, there's no need for this poll. Asking whether Trump should get Greenland is like asking if I should have the house of...
