    What caught your attention in the world today?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well, personally, I'm still waiting to hear what it is about being aware of social injustice that makes it such a huge problem that we have to legislate against it. He refused to answer that question,...

    Not really - trump didn't invent that particular sales strategy.. It's inherent in the nature of debate: he who defines the problem, including the words used to describe it, wins the battle. Newt...

    Mockery, as you and I both have demonstrated, is a weapon. Anyone who has been physically, sexually or emotionally abused by clerical closet cases - including female religious - can tell you that it...

    Well ... I don't understand what the likes of Ted Nugent or Ye do for a living, either. We all choose our leadership. Ditto for sookespeople. To misquote Anjelou, you can tell a lot about a...

    The groundwork was laid by changes in food distribution, progressive displacement of small local sources by larger, more distant suppliers, changes in the nature of work with increasing mechanization....

    Not a coincidence, but just one of a multitude of contributing factors, social and biological, that have combined over time (at least 150 years) into a perfect storm that finally exploded in the...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Actually, I still don't care. As trump's incompetence and sheer stupidity became increasingly clear over the course of his term, it was predictable that magadonians would try to keep us from looking...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The issue at hand is whether obese people have a right to accommodation from airlines and whether they should be charged for it. Frankly, it's clear that the "issue" is merely an excuse to sneer at...

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Miami mayor Suarez has apparently entered the republican primary. I haven't found much info other than the usual schtick. (Haven't looked real hard, either.) What's the word? So far, I've read...

    Fair enough. It mystifies me that all the current primary candidates are magadonians - except Christie, who's more of a ride-the-coattails kinda guy. Is the GOP truly that

    2016 redux. Surely Putin is smart enough to produce some evidence to go along with the complaint planted with the FBI. Play the tapes ... then explain how you know they're not deepfakes. Hunter...

    On the other hand, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. DeSantis is attempting to rerun trump's 2016 playbook which, in turn, was developed by the Republican party with their southern...

    For a senile old faht, Biden plays a mean game of rope-a-dope. A showdown between him and DeSantis would be one for the ages. Meanwhile, trump is being arraigned in Miami tomorrow, if he can hire...

    I wonder if MTG has lost her security clearance yet. She just pulled a stunt that seemed to imitate one of trump's alleged crimes. Reminds me a lot of the incident early in trump's term when he...
