Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
4merper4mer replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That was meant to be posted to his grinder, not his campaign Twitter. It's a simple mixup. -
My hamster Sammy knows which houses have these cameras and he does vile unspeakable things that require a lot of windex to get the cameras back to normal. He thinks it is funny.

I think it is pretty cool but understand what you mean. They are finding new types of planets at times and all of these things are tiny little pieces in a billion piece jigsaw. I admire this methodical work and it is using the limits of our current technology which is also cool to learn about. It is becoming repetitive at a high level, no doubt, but we are learning new things. The hype machine that spits out headlines like "most Earth like planet ever just discovered" is boring for sure. There really hasn't been an extrasolar Earth like planet discovered at all. If we discovered Venus in a solar system 100 light years away, it would be the most Earth like planet ever discovered, Mars would be a close second. This latest discovery is so far behind Mars and Venus it's like a jogger trying to compete in the Indy 500, but is painted differently. Assuming an 80 year life span, people are impatient and want some discovery on their timeline. That's ok IMO because it pushes things. If we were searching for the cancer cure, and never found it, but gradually cured everything else, that would be cool. Unlike finding aliens, we may find the cure for cancer, but it is the best comparison I could find. Searching for non-existent aliens will have side benefits. Not too long from now, we'll be equipped to fulfill Von Neumann's observations which will be a step for us and hopefully lay to rest the need to imagine aliens as a reason for exploration.

The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

Not always. It's only been 100 years or so. -
There were different types of cheating going on and the sports were also treated differently in the press. The NFL painted itself into a corner by allowing the Patriots to cheat. Once they let Spygate go with a wrist slap, they had to keep doubling down on their "greatness". It was a cash cow for the big networks so lips were zipped on the Pats, steroids and the Ray Rice type stuff. Just look at Tyreek Hill this year. The networks say nothing. It's disgusting. MLB has been reputed to be "dead" for decades. The steroids were just one more nail in the coffin. The TV money wasn't the same for the big networks because of the scheduling structure and the more local nature of broadcasts. This, and the commies trying to promote soccer, made fertile ground for baseball bashing. Good for MLB for treating the Astros like the Pats should have been treated. And the Pats are still cheating because they understand the lay of the land. Maybe all sports are gradually headed toward the Vince McMahon model.

How Long Before Dems Go To Iran to Apologize?
4merper4mer replied to Irv's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Pelosi was on some show and gave the pish posh to the notion that protests were about anything other than just the plane. It's one thing to not support them, but to not acknowledge them is downright 1984. -
If he leaves the Patriots or asks for too much money the charges will be reinstated.

I guess she had to color her hair because Brunettey just doesn't sound like a good band name.
