As you well know, I don't agree with you that fears of Trump being an existential threat to democracy and desire to become a dictator are unfounded and irresponsible. I'm both bewildered and sorry that you still can't see that. His intent to become a dictator comes from his own stupid mouth, for Pete's sake!ceeboo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 3:52 amI think it more likely that the shooter had heard, and heard, and heard, and heard the grossly irresponsible talk about Trump being an existential threat to democracy and Hitler and an evil racist and a KGB agent and a fascist and a murderous dictator - and was trying to be a hero and save America from this evil monster.
I highly doubt that you can. Good God!I hope that the least likely motivation for this act was an attempt by MAGA to stage a false flag scenario in order to blame Biden and the Democrats for the attempt. Can we safely rule that out? I hope so!

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Thanks. I'm drunk. But I do like "stupidist" as a noun.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. Anything can happen, Apple can go bankrupt tomorrow too. Would you like to take that bet?honorentheos wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 5:16 amExactly. And Trump would run away with it if the election were tomorrow.
But it's not.
Biden is in a huge hole, larger than anything on those charts from 2024 and 2020. And over time it is increasingly unlikely he will climb out of that hole to defeat Trump. Those who argue otherwise are delusional and hoping for something like a miracle.
If it’s so important to beat Trump, we need more than wishful thinking.

Until we invent a Time Machine, playing the odds is exactly what both parties have to do. You can bet on Biden or you can bet on someone else. The question again is, what is the best bet?honorentheos wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 6:38 amOn this we agree. But gambling and playing the odds for money is the very definition of wishful thinking.
Sunk cost fallacy is a real trap. But at some point it gets so bad that you have to stop the losses and switch strategy. We’re at that point with Biden.

I'm still listening to the video linked. Something about Demolitia?
