Re: Biden vs. Trump

It was not a good night for the United States. I was left thinking it could affect the election, though. If a person is a Trump supporter, they heard what they've been hearing for months if not years. His bombast and excessive aggressiveness are considered virtues by those who won't be livid that th...

Re: Trump's taxes revealed - this is what he was hiding

Republicans wanted someone who wasn't beholden to the swamp... Being beholden to financial institutions and oligarch financiers is better how ...

Re: Opinions please

You had two strangers in your house and didn't put on a mask until you saw one of them wasn't wearing one? Yes, that's what happened. In your OP you started down the road of wondering about doing things differently with some hindsight. The rest of the thread is about whether or not you might be los...

Re: Tristan & Hanna’s Inquisition

This reminds me of an excerpt I read from The Three Body Problem detailing the fervor of young revolutionaries in China holding “struggle sessions”. Over a period of forty days, in Beijing alone, more than seventeen hundred victims of struggle sessions were beaten to death: https://www.tor.com/2014...
