Re: A Billionaire Who Makes Sense
Why, for example, are fossil fuel companies, some of the most profitable companies in history, getting massive government subsidies? Because they would simply leave the country and take their wealth with them. [...] Excuse me? Companies that extract coal, oil and gas from US soil and rocks can leav...

Re: DCP goes all-in on pseudo scientific quackery
Well, exactly. You try not to go ad hominem on Smith and dismiss him just for living when and where he did. Great ideas can appear anywhere, at least sometimes. Michael Faraday was a contemporary of Smith who was mostly self-educated but the list of his scientific discoveries is ridiculous. Smith’s...

Re: on being alone
The idea of an atheist minister going around death row just seems silly to me, even as an atheist. Really? As an atheist myself, if I imagine the possibility of facing judicially inflicted death in prison, and assuming I had the right to be accompanied by somebody other than a close relation or spo...

Re: We Need More Immigrants, not Fewer
I am certainly NOT an indifferent voter - but I certainly prefer the convenience of voting by mail, and usually do. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Mail in voting allows for more potential fraud. It should be election day, not election year, paper ballots, and partisan polling observers. [......

Re: We Need More Immigrants, not Fewer
The election was rigged by changing the voting laws and procedures that produced a way higher voter turnout from indifferent voters by mail. I am certainly NOT an indifferent voter - but I certainly prefer the convenience of voting by mail, and usually do. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Are ...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.
Nicely put, I think, and wonderfully calculated to cause Trump to waste lots of energy and time in impotent rage: ‘He’s nothing’: E Jean Carroll says ‘we don’t need to be afraid’ of Donald Trump Former Elle writer says $83.3m defamation ruling shows Trump – who she compared to a walrus snorting – ‘c...

Re: Another false dilemma from DCP: Prophet or Fraud
Cleverly put. In some sense, his acting as if he was above the law stemmed from his claims to authority as the prophet of a new dispensation.
