The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
DC Tom replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Seriously...what the ***** hell? How completely off the rails do you have to be to hear someone say Trump is worse than the three worst mass murders of the 20th century COMBINED, and think "Yeah, that makes sense. Let's put him on the air?" -
Had to do a little digging to make this clear what's happening: The Hollister Ranch is a large concern (and a working cattle ranch), with parcels of it owned by private parties. The Walls own a parcel, on which they built a residence. They do not own a beach-front or beach-access parcel; all of that is owned by the Ranch itself. The Walls are physically unable, because of geography, to provide public beach access. The CCC has been fighting with the Ranch over beach access for a while. The CCC is trying to either punish the Walls for the intransigence of a third-party (the Hollister Ranch), or use the Walls as leverage against an intransigent third party. Either way, it's complete ***** bull####.

According to Stanford, that's racist.

The Mizzou/Yale/PC/Free Speech Topic
DC Tom replied to FireChan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This vignette fits in here as well as anywhere. My sister-in-law just cut off all contact with my mother and mom's boyfriend. Why? Because SIL went ballistic when mom's boyfriend posted something on Facebook he didn't like, and sent him a list of opinions he was permitted to post on his Facebook account. He, of course, refused to give her editorial oversight over his internet usage. When the revolution comes, she will have him and I on the guillotine. -

Hmmmm...let me check my physics textbooks... ....yep, just as I thought. Physics works the same for everyone, regardless of race, creed, or gender. -

What, he couldn't wait for halftime of week 2?

The previous class were named Hyuga and Ise - their namesakes being two "hybrid" battleship-carriers (WWI-style super-dreadnoughts, with the X and Y turrets removed and a flight deck built in their place). Kaga and Izumo are evolutions of that design, intended to be fully flight-capable for STOVL aircraft like the F-35B. It's not a "weird coincidence." It's an announcement, pointed directly at China, that Japan is back in the carrier aviation business.

What is it? A bird or Rabbit?

It's a velociraptor. -
I will not be pawed at, thank you very much.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer
DC Tom replied to TakeYouToTasker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Liberals believe the President legislates, the courts execute, and the legislature merely advocates. -
Group Chat: Your takes on the Defense tonight

DC Tom's thoughts on game: Turns on game in mid-second quarter. Sees Levi Wallace leaving, injured. Sees Tre White get injured. Turns off game. -
But you can't do it with a tweet.

Hey, look, a Democrat with a sense of humor... -

I don't know that RBG would necessarily agree. And if she doesn't, I respect her choice. -

Not surprising. The accelerated growth predisposes clones to cancer. It's usually mitigated by adrenochrome administration during the quickening process, but given that adrenochrome supplies are tight because of Trump's inroads against child trafficking... -
Seriously...it amazes me that people still take him seriously. I'll tell ya what...I'll go back on my "never voting Democrat again" promise, and vote for whoever the Democratic Presidential candidate is in 2020 if and only if they have the great good sense to tell Trump "Yeah, whatever Donald" when he starts his ***** during the debates. It's not going to happen - Yang and Tulsi might, but not a single likely candidate in the Democratic lineup can handle him.

Military Explosion in Russia
DC Tom replied to TakeYouToTasker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Reminder: "normal" is VERY low. Sixteen times normal is still very low. Sixteen thousand times normal would still be low. -
It wasn't Trump. It was his clone.
