Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
And here we are, less than 10 months before a presidential election and the two parties seem intent on giving us a choice between an 81 year old man and a 77 year old twice impeached man facing 91 felony counts in multiple indictments. THIS is the problem, not the weaknesses, actual or alleged, of ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
The findings from the Biden classified document investigation have me as pessimistic and frustrated as I've been in quite a while. We're fucked. We were probably already fucked, but we're even more likely to be fucked now. The very same qualities which might've made Merrick Garland a good judge mak...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
If Trump is not defeated resoundingly and "fair and square" (which includes not by way of judicial process) he and the agony and chaos he brings with him will not go away. This is a real bind for the country and I don't know that there's a good answer except to make sure that Trump loses resounding...

So elsewhere in a heated discussion, one person whose first language is not English accused another person of spreading "theorist propaganda".

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
How are we going to resolve the very real, very human problem that exists on the ground? Time. Ideally time and love. That's probably asking too much. More like time and weariness and the secular miracle of two sides willing to negotiate in good faith at the same time. It's not much, but it's what ...

Well, something has happened for sure. But exactly what and exactly what it means is a bit hard to pin down. I'm sure enough to say it means there'll be a Speaker within a week. I'm pretty sure it all still means Candidate Trump. That probably also increases the likelihood of a serious third candid...

I also observe that "the leader knew and wanted it to happen" is one of the older more popular more pliable conspiracy theories out there, including FDR allegedly knowing about Pearl Harbor.
