Nice. Real examples and talking seriously about it.

Just so we're clear, is there any non-racist, nonviolent interpretation to telling the proud boys to stand by?

Somehow, there's now a Brodart catalog in the house. To me, the name sounds like slang for penis. Like, "My date last night was a total fuckboy. As soon as we got in the car after dinner, he started taking out his bro dart."

The hardcore maga people still won't be moved but it might be one more small blow to some independent and gop voters. It's hardly shocking though. Trump keeps borrowing a ton of money and has trouble paying it back ot the point that one of the few banks willing ot lend to him was one who has admitte...

Trump throwing powers around like that are an attempt to sap our will to vote. We really need to overwhelmingly turn out and vote hard as we can, and really really rebuke GOP leadership as much as possible. Based on the relatively large turnout* I saw in the primaries here, I'm hoping that this ele...

I agree with both parts of your statement. The balance of power needs to be reset. To take just one aspect, military engagement is almost entirely executive branch as there are very few wars, just a bunch of bombings and special forces. There are also too many agencies with too little over sight - t...

We're literally at the cusp of dictatorship with Trump floating the idea that the vote outcome can be gotten around. Every politician of both parties should be calling for his instant removal.

Uh huh, sure.

Congrats on surviving another year!

My resting pulse has also dropped 10 beats (from 82 to 72) since I started this. I wonder if the recipes are also cutting salt intake, which might affect pulse and pressure. But whatever, if it's working, go with it. It sounds like you're not going on a diet - you're making a sustainable lifestyle ...

Yea, it's like every week, there's a new abuse of power or an impeachable offense.

Just listened to the Columbus episode. Nice! I love the informativeness without the dawdling and repetitiveness of most TV documentaries. I might use this with my son. We've wound up skipping American history for the most part as I've been overcompensating for the European bias in history classes (W...

Well, at least you're reading out loud to your self. If you switch to fiction, it would be telling yourself a story.

Almost constantly. It's the only consistent way for me to have an intelligent conversation. 8-) Just like writing something down helps with memory, I feel like talking and hearing yourself talk engages more areas of your brain and helps you remember. For working memory, auditory storage lasts longer...

It's kinda hard to take racist leasing practices out of context.
Or intentionally cruel border policies.

I'm shedding.
