  1. They're an Eastern team. So are the Orioles.
  2. And perhaps I'm wrong in believing people on balance are not the educated thinkers you credit them as being.
  3. They are an Eastern team.
  4. That passage is specifically interpreted in evangelical circles as contemplating the danger that Christians ("the elect") will be misled by the Antichrist. Those who deny that meaning, though they profess Christianity, do not know Christianity.
  5. East coast FTW again
  6. That’s not how Matthew 24:24 reads.
  7. As much as I despise Mario Rubio, we need all the help we can get in there to keep the Russified cabal from completely destroying America as we have come to know and love it.
  8. And you are more willing to ascribe to clear-eyed cynicism in the population what I see as blithe ignorance.
  9. I guess the constancy of what is essentially the same post over and over for months on end risks their receding into the background and thus failing to impact the conversation any more.
  10. Isn’t one of the anti-Christ’s talents supposed to be getting unaware Christians to follow him? Isn’t that what the fable says?
  11. Making Russia Great Again since 2017.
  12. I’d argue the opposite. They don’t know their favorites media are slanted—they think it’s true and the other side is lies. Doesn’t get any more simple than that. You know how media are slanted because you’ve been specifically educated to ferret that out.
  13. The union will fight against any settlement for less money not to protect Rendon's retirement nut, per se, but to prevent that kind of precedent from affecting other clients.
  14. I think it is facile to conclude that simply nobody cares. A lot of people care. I care and you care. We're not nobody. I think the bigger problem is that we have a factionalized mutually exclusive difference in media environments, and consumers of one don't believe environment don't believe the other. One side (RWM) actively and constantly disparaged the journalistic integrity of the other (MSM), which has allowed that side to engage in the exact kind of news fakery they accused the other of, and to get away with it, because they've developed their own version of reality. So rather than the idea that nobody cares, I think the real problem is that the factions don't trust the same sources, they don't come to an agreement on what's true, then they just retreat to their corners frustrated with the other side for their recalcitrance. How that relates to the issue of disclosure is that when it does occurs, only one faction cares about it, and the other faction whistles past it as though it didn't even happen, because they can't agree on the source of even that information.
  15. Attention is a kind of social oxygen ... just sayin' ... Carry on.
  16. One more reason the red hats should want immigrants. At least the late middle-aged red hats, anyway ... 😏
  17. At the very least make everyone disclose the source of their donations. In the age of crypto, I mean ... come on ...
  18. I can't add any more reactions today, but Like!
  19. I don't know, it's not as though Barry is blowing Jahmyr out of the water. We should check back in three weeks when it more apples.
  20. I know the "S" stands for "shaking" and the "H" mean "head", but what is the "F" for?
  21. There are so, so many of these that go on literally every day that "Thanks, Trump" should be its own thread.
  22. Particularly since they are of working age and can help support an aging population that no longer works—which has been the plan since 1935.
  23. What a mean thing to say about Nigerians with actual computers.
  24. And yet you take them seriously enough to relentlessly hammer them on that point—to no effect except to continue giving them the oxygen they need to keep being a factor on this board—instead of just ignoring them and eventually letting them drown unceremoniously in their own sludge.
