  1. I don't know if it is anticipatory obedience to Trump as much as Bezos wants to make his tax breaks permanent so he can enjoy kleptocracy and no regulation of his businesses.
  2. THis is a great comment to the Kagan news
  3. This was a fantastic episode even if a bit heavy-handed. Her monologue is great.
  4. When moral and ethical judgements needed to be made. They didn't.
  5. This is what my wife sent me when i sent her the Posts own article explaining their "decision".
  6. Very true
  7. cancelling
  8. I seriously doubt black vote changes in any meaningful way from previous African American on the ballot election in 2012. Whatever nonsense Trump campaign is trying to sell about their successful outreach.
  9. I wonder if the Washington Posts condones this sort of behavior. Trump says Jack Smith should be 'thrown out of the country' (thehill.com)
  10. I'm good with the Newspaper representing and reporting to the Federal government's workforce and the millions of people who work with that leviathan having an opinion on what would be the best outcome in November for the health of the country. I'm not good with its owner thinking he play footsie with Russian oligarchs.
  11. What the actual
  12. Just confirmed with the Hausfrau who pays this bill that Washington Post would be dead to us if they didn't endorse Harris.
  13. Apparently the Washington Post is not endorsing. WTF? I'll drop that rag if they don't.
  14. I believed to my core that Romney was going to win in 2012 because of what I had been told by "credible" RW media.
  15. I'd prefer not to go down this road. The idea that we are legitimately considering the death camps Trump has planned for us...yikes. I play a lot of casual war games and most of those simulate to some extent WWII. What they NEVER can simulate with any rationality is the effect of the Holocaust on the Nazi war effort because how could there be rules for a nation diverting its rail stocks and significant manpower to the purpose of slaughtering its own population. They also fail to simulate that there could even be . . . benefit to the overall war effort to having motivated workers who do not want to be starved and slaughtered. There is a reason the Allies swamped the Axis and for example the British were able to rapidly replenish their RAF units during the Battle of Britain...the entire island was on a maximum effort war footing. Maximum effort meant exactly that and people didn't even know about the Holocaust then. l also consider that many war gamers are cosplaying their autocratic fantasies about how Rommel or Guderian or (worse still) Sepp Dietrich could have pulled "it" off if Hitler left them to their own devices and they just don't want to think about the cost to the war effort of the German side of that monstrous wastage of resources and lives.
  16. I think about this and I remember that when abortion was put up for a referendum in Ireland all sorts of women flew back into Ireland from around the Globe (even though they could vote absentee) just to cast their votes in person to strike down the antiquated system which had governed their bodies and their mothers' and grandmothers' bodies. EDIT: I was wrong that absentee voting was allowed. Irish Expats Travel Home to Vote on Abortion Referendum - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
  17. I would prefer the term: Global Warming Beneficiary Belt
  18. Point being that the term Rust Belt is demeaning.
  19. Good news from this one. TIPP Tracking Poll Day 11: Harris Extends Slim Lead To 3 Points In Heated Race (tippinsights.com)
