Re: Northam vs. Gillispie thread

Here's my cautious hope. I hope that even the slight possiblity of the dems taking control of the house in 2020, and thus controlling gerrymandering, will scare the Supreme Court enough take action on gerrymandering. This has got to stop. I know gerrymandering is just one of our problems, but I thin...

Re: Trump dirt and Russian Sanctions

He just might want future interference on his behalf. So maybe he isn't being blackmailed, but telling Putin if he promises to help him get elected again, he won't implement the sanctions? Or that Putin will provide him safe passage and a luxurious dacha after the (bleep) really hits the fan? Serio...

Yeah, I read that as well. Surely someone has warned him this all makes him look guilty as hell.

Trump dirt and Russian Sanctions

I find it odd that Trump is delaying implementing Russian sanctions. His advisors have to be telling him how bad this looks in light of the suspicions he colluded with Russia. Yet he persists. This actually makes me wonder if Russia may have serious dirt on Trump they're blackmailing him with. If al...

Re: OMM, Gamergate, Bannon, Trump, and the End of Democracy

My general view is most accurately expressed in an economic argument made by Tyler Cowen in his book The Complacent Class where he points out American innovation and social mobility has been negatively impacted by our ever escalating urge to silo into groups most like ourselves in all aspects of li...
