Why don't those so-called "historians" value narcissism and psychopathology as Presidential virtues? Why waste bandwidth asking questions to which you already know the answer? rhe·tor·i·cal /rəˈtôrək(ə)l/ adjective (of a question) asked in order to produce an effect or to make a statement rather th...

I'd like to know exactly which Uniparty RINOs were considered the historical experts on this question? Trump is on his way to a landslide victory for the Republican nomination with much less money than Nicky Haley . How many Republicans are voting for her over Trump? RINOs are likely way overrepres...

Because criteria that might make a former president look good to one person might be the very same criteria that makes a former president look bad to another. Hence why it’s no more possible to make an “accurate” list of presidents from best to worst than it is to make an “accurate” list of songs f...

I have extreme doubt, though, that future historians will ever rate Trump highly. He is surely destined to be ranked as one of the most corrupt, dishonest and bigoted Presidents as long as there still exist honest, well-informed historians. I predict, if anything, that disdain for him and what he d...

At this point I think my point stands that Harris's shot was a cheapish one, if you think about the issue seriously.

It does indeed.

I wouldn't put much stock into any of this. Rankings may be fine for presidents who served during living memory, but for ones before that? I doubt an assessment can be made that's anywhere near "accurate." Interesting take, Shades. I wonder why you put the word accurate in scare quotes. Anyway, if ...

The fact that you had to google Navalny is a testament to something. I don’t know what that something is. But it’s something, that’s for sure. It’s a testament to the fact that I don’t follow Russian politics. Shades: I'm guessing, that while reading Jersey's music thread, you had to google 'the Be...

I get your analogy, Physics Guy, but it's a little flawed. In order to reduce costs, plastic has been tried as a component in things like power tools, only to be replaced by steel. I traded my plastic water bottle for a steel one over concerns about plastic pollution. The move away from plastic to s...
