Narrator: It's not worth anything.

Or is what the Founders feared and for which they created checks and balances. What they did not anticipate, however, that one of the primary political parties would forsake its role to act as a counterweight to an Executive who is thoroughly corrupt and incompetent, actively works to weaken...

Random web link from among many options: https://thinkprogress.org/donald-trumps-veiled-signals-to-white-supremacists-6a3d80bcc04e/ This is an easily searchable question.

He relies on dog whistles/coded language. It gives him plausible deniability, while at the same time being crystal clear in meaning to his target audience.

Yep, plus there are guns and there are GUNS. SC rulings don't necessarily imply that one can own military assault rifles with high capacity magazines. SC may one day rule that's the case (wouldn't surprise me). The gun culture/cult in this country has long ago strayed way beyond what might be...

A common fallacy used to critique public policies is the "magic bullet" fallacy, which argues that any policy that doesn't fully solve a problem is not worth pursuing. NO policy solves any public policy problem all by itself. Problems are solved incrementally, here some, there some, etc. The...

To be fair, there's no Constitutional right to drive a vehicle but there is to own firearms, so your analogy only goes so far. That said, I disagree with those who argue that reasonable, prudential laws regulating gun ownership violate the 2d Amendment. For example, waiting periods, universal...

They don't. Either I misread your post, or you miscommunicated you intent. It's too much work to go find the original, please feel free if you want. If I misrepresented what you said, I take it back. If not, then ....

This statement alone proves you have no f'n idea what you're talking about.

Seems like kind of a silly thing to cause them to resort to name calling.

No, only drug test poor people, cause everyone (aka conservatives) know that poor people are shifty, lazy cheaters who routinely game public assistance, at the same time, everyone (aka conservatives) knows that rich people embody all the positive human virtues, never game the system, and thus...

Taxpayers foot much of the education bill already, what with free public schools and discounted tuition at state schools for state residents. Few, aside from hard core libertarians, argue that individuals (and their families) should bear the full financial cost of their education.

Get League Pass and a subscription to a good VPN. VPNs only cost around $10-12 month. That'll allow you to watch Jazz games from home in Utah. You don't need a VPN from India, just get VPN Express, or something like that. Some streaming services detect VPNs and don't let you stream (e.g...

Dreams are shattered everyday; most of them don't end up with the shatteree still making an income putting him/her into the 1%. If Jimmer were sufficiently self-reflective, he could have/should have realized years ago that the NBA for him was no more than a pipe dream.

Which begs the question why any fan base would be exuberant, irrationally or otherwise, about any, at best, replacement level player on his fourth team in five years, or thereabout.

I love it how those so critical of the Leftist media and decry media bias, soak up Right wing media bias with nary a skeptical thought and complain not a whit about its many and obvious biases. In other words, media errancy and bias are not the problem, left leaning media errancy and bias are...

TJ has been pimping for Exum pretty consistently on Twitter, but I've always been skeptical. (Though Jones has demonstrated he's well plugged into Jazz comings and goings). One can legitimately ask, I think, whether 19 minutes per night is a good return on $10 million per year, particularly...

I frankly don't care what they say, that's not the point. I'll merely note that it's refreshing to hear the occasional LDS faithful concede that he/she doesn't really know but believes. That's at least being honest and doesn't require self-delusion.

Indeed, that's part of my point. Mormons tend to have a blind spot that their epistemological foundations are not uniquely theirs. Otherwise, they are faced with the uncomfortable task of reconciling God revealing different truths to different people. This is largely dealt with through the...

And I know that you don't actually KNOW. I believe that you BELIEVE. Mormon epistemology (objective "truth' can be discovered via subjective feelings) is flawed on its face. It's ok to claim that such feelings (I know you want to claim their 'whisperings of the Spirit' or whatever, but they're...
