But that doesn't mean that charisma doesn't matter (see Ronald Reagan). It's arguably the most important factor, especially in a national election. I thought and still think that Hillary might've been the most qualified person to ever run for office given her background/experience, but on a...

That was the hope following Obama's 2012 re-election. There was some introspection within the GOP, but it was quickly quelled and then we ended up with Trump. The lesson of winning by doubling and tripling down is not lost on them. The best that can be hoped for is they're less extreme, but...

Oh no, god forbid professionals get paid for their work. Law firms certainly don't incur costs via employee salaries, taxes, leases, massive discovery expenses, and years spent learning to be competent in their profession. How about this: you go to law school, pass the bar exam, and then...

You're fighting a losing battle here. Atrocities by Muslims and decades of terrorism = good. Self defense by liberal democracy = bad. Spineless Democratic Party allowing itself to be co-opted by the DSA = good. Calling out the DSA for being deeply unpopular and thus unable to win...

Trump's a dick who says stupid shit, and encouraging us to hate each other has been a consistent part of his schtick. In other news, it's been reported that allowing your kid to fall into a gorilla enclosure may not be in the child's best interests.

I'm sorry I didn't take personal responsibility for this sooner. I feel personally culpable and I'm terribly ashamed of this incident. I admit that I wasn't there, have never been in that location, and find that what I didn't do to be highly reprehensible. Or something.

Ah, I see. I had written a different, snarky response to what you wrote, but then changed it until I further understood what you were saying. Thus, I will respond in more detail. So, you took an innocuous one line sentence that said the OP wasn't newsworthy. You willfully blew it up into an...

I still have no clue what all of this has to do with what I wrote.

By the time he cuts the check and mails them, it's going to cost $6,000 to fill his tank.

They can climb it like a tree. What I will never understand though, is why someone would buy one of those goddamn things as a family vehicle when they could buy a much more comfortable, quieter, and more practical SUV for the same price when identical features are considered. The only...

He doesn't know he's poison in human form, and if he did, he wouldn't care anyway. That's his superpower. He said he wouldn't start any new wars and that was an important reason to those who voted for him. His approval ratings on that are low, but if he runs for a third term, the same...

There are lots of important issues that can be discussed in depth about the shortcomings of the American university system, but this isn't one of them.

I'm unsure what norm you're referring to. Being limited to two terms comes from the 22nd Amendment and it's clear as day and even covers the non-consecutive scenario. Therefore, it's a law. Not that it matters one bit. Turns out that laws don't matter if they're not enforced. I don't like...

Sadly but predictably, today is not a day without Bullshit. The Senate voted 50-49 for the tantrum in Iran to continue. Promises made. Promises kept... or some bullshit or another.
