Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

Part two is about the problem of self-reference and contradiction. If I say "this sentence is false" -- what does that really mean? If a president is elected democratically, but then figures out how to subvert the system and stay in power beyond his term, is it still a democracy? No it's not a demo...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

I do believe this that the first impeachment trial was a witch-hunt. One of the squad when she took office the first day of the new congress said lets go impeach the m’thr fkr. The first impeachment was a clown-show- case and they would never get a conviction with McConnell as the majority leader o...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

Democracy isn't at stake if the population votes against the billionaire class and their chosen puppets Except they only think they are voting against the billionaire class and the chosen puppets when in actuality, they are voting for the billionaire class and its chosen puppet. You'd think it woul...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own

They haven't reached a decision yet, have they? If not, how can the court have "just sealed everyone's fate?" This is an appeal to fear, politics as usual. Democracy isn't at stake if the population votes against the billionaire class and their chosen puppets. Neither is it at stake if the Supreme ...

Re: Hello, Possums...My Final Exit from MD&D

I am outraged. I am an opossum -- not a possum.

Seriously, Craig. It's nice to see you.

DT, please explain your psychology here. If you can't, I think that I can.

Implying is saying something without quite saying it. Inferring is hearing something that wasn't quite said.
I think that’s the best explanation of the difference I’ve ever read.

Re: Why I come here

DT, we all think differently, depending on which topic is being discussed. When one strongly asserts outlier positions, as in my opinion you often do, one should not be surprised to receive push back from most folks. There should be nothing surprising about that. I've interacted with you as much as ...

Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

Additionally, according to modern science, cognitive skills begin to decline at age 45. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6551607/ My favorite thing about this isn't that the cohort groupings stop at 30, but that it shows there's a drastic and hugely significant psychosocial maturity gap...

No, he needs to respond if he wants any type of respect from the posters here. Since you are not responding to what I am telling you, why should I tell you the state? A lot of people here are respecting me, including Gadianton, any reasonable person would. Do you want to change this to "minor attra...
