i wanted to make some calls today, but had to sleep off the migraine. it's humid outside, and that is helping, but it's not clear ...

it's a major contrast, though, it really is. in 2003, the liberals were taking principled positions in standing up for international l...

powell has endorsed biden, btw. which is a red flag....

they make it seem as though colin powell was just mistaken or something, rather than a war criminal that was lying through his teeth. http...

tabernacle, indeed.

a little bit of cheating is normal in the west. but, the numbers he is throwing around are huge, and decidable.

you're probably not here if you don't read. but, it's probably easier to give your friend a video than talk them into learning...

what is the right tactic for the democrats to defeat this kind of cheating? well, clinton did the same thing in the 2016 primaries, and we...

israel should be democratic and secular, not jewish.

the two state solution died 30 years ago. we're waiting for a palestinian rights movement, and it's going to be bloody, but it...

so, is the israel-uae thing a foil against biden's embrace of war and neoconservative imperialism? it seems like a pr stunt, mostly. f...

...just like real dictators have facial hair.

you need to follow somebody named greg palast in this election. google him. look for the fedora. because he's a real journalist, an...
›
i can't stand him. that's not going to change. and, it's going to be a vicious four years, if he wins.
›
maybe this works for him. i doubt it.... but, the way he's organizing his campaign is more or less designed to piss hyper-liberal vo...
›
so, when i hear biden channel dubya, it makes me want to puke in his face.
›
yes, dubya is still the worst president ever. i don't even think trump is worse than clinton. i mean bill. and, that's not an endo...

i don't care about 'decency', and have no interest in voting for it. however, i do want to remind you that the last time amer...

that wasn't the worst migraine ever, but it was bad, and i don't think it's over. my fan still isn't working. i'm go...

i'm going to start typing goobledygook soon, if i haven't already, so i need to stop and let the migraine, an interference pattern i...

your brain is a physical system. of course it is subject to error, like any other system and, that's where i step back and start won...

migraine imminent. out for a bit.

i don't want to post a lecture. this is a good short analysis that gets the point across for people who need it. the thing about ...

in the west, it is true that we generally tend to be skeptical of descartes, nowadays, but there's some room for ambiguity there, too. i...

it's an interesting potential wedge issue, though, dualism v monism.

i guess they were trying to do some damage control on all of that dualism in his convention speech. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/joe-bi...

again: i have no opposition to this. do what you want. i'm not in your way. have fun. but, it doesn't strike me as this pressing s...

it's just, that, what exactly ought a marriage mean to a secular person? we don't talk about gay baptism, for example, although.....
›
i've always wondered.... who are all of these gay christians that want to get married, anyways? like, it seems like a contradiction in...
›
i would, personally, not be interested in signing a contract of that sort, regardless of the genders involved.
›
i guess my opposition to christianity and religion in general is more potent than my support for the normalization of queer rights. but, t...
›
but, i mean, people ought to be allowed to do whatever they want. i have no prerogative to interfere.
›
so, you won't see me really give much of a fuck about that. i don't actually think it's a very meaningful victory for anybody,...

the idea that a set of vows is somehow more or less sacred depending on the genders of the people saying them strikes me as asinine. but, ...

if we have to have marriage, then, yeah - let anybody who wants to get married, sure. but, i'd rather the state remove itself from th...

i'm not joking. if this ends with somebody pointing a gun at me, i am going to get a plague costume and wear it as a form of protest.

i admit i'd wear a mask list this, in the right scenario. or, i guess, if coerced at gunpoint. that is the only exception.

but, the tl;dr is just simply that the ndp & liberals are truly indistinguishable, and that they have been for 30 years.

what happened, though? it was nafta. first the '88 election, then the '93 election, then the collapse of the manufacturing sector....
