  1. You mean like you trying to translate for him? He didn't once mention priviledge but that's your narrative so you applied it, to make him a tool to suit your preferences. The words he said criticized David for participating in the polarization of people particularly the left. But regardless I would like to hear more about his views from him, rather than postulating.

  2. If he runs independently (after losing the primary) it may merely be a strategy to keep the unhappy republicans and unaligned from voting democrat.

  3. Trump said he's "all for wearing masks" an obvious placation, because he has never directly asked/encouraged the public to wear masks because it runs against the narrative he was touting.

  4. If Yang can get himself out to the masses and grab enough attention, he might be able to get the 'Establishment Democrats' behind him rather than Biden. Or, if he manages to convince enough of the American middle to become a member, he could be elected that way. Does it seem likely at this point? No, not at all. But it is doable with enough money and drive. ...The other options are of course, blackmail, extortion, and bribery.

  5. To be fair, we radicals wouldn't know we were radical.

  6. Can you cover what's going on with the Hwuawei CEO now?

  7. or was it more a win inspite of themselves because of how bad Trump was?

  8. "I don't even need your money for my campaign I am so rich" "But the people want to give it to me, so I am going to take it".

  9. Well the republicans are supposed to be pro-holding people accountable, and pro-high punishment, and really significantly ANTI-GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION.

  10. Now?

  11. Are they uninteresting? Think of all the views trump has acquired, he may not be doing intelligent things but he is certainly attracting attention.

  12. Lol So he wants to leagalize money laundering... for a small fee.

  13. You can, it's just not executed well. And regardless of how it ends up being done, if you can't do it properly the method shouldn't be used until it works.

  14. If you want to leave, Canada will be more than happy to make the map more logical.... and also welcome you.

  15. Sadly the Democratic party is as well.

  16. Workplace bullying excused based on alignment with political or group-think. We knew about that and the twitter mob was a thing already.

  17. A business that cannot be run with a slight wage increase, is a business being run poorly (or as you say, the model is flawed).

  18. You know what? I am just not going to watch the call-ins anymore. Watching david be annoyed/impatient is not of interest. (Not that the callers aren't ridiculous at times, but the level of professionalism just drops)

  19.  @Jellysfrickingstuff  I don't agree with the OP but let's not do as we are complaining about and stereotype them. It's obviously not just teens, though I am sure some are buying into it if adults are.

  20. Can you really say ALL of them were there to anger other people? Some may simply want an excuse to celebrate themselves. Which while a bit narcissistic isn't malicious. Some are certainly doing that, I have no doubt, maybe even a majority. But, you should always be careful about making sweeping generalizations especially those regarding a group of people. Lest you slip into habitual bigotry.

  21. This may affect the optics of acquittal, maybe more republicans will vote to convict in the impeachment trial.

  22. Honestly, without fox news The country would have been better off since at least the '90s

  23. Pat is definitely my preferred alternate host, then Benjamin Dixon (I actually think he does a much better job, but it is not in the DP style). If it's anyone else, I don't watch.

  24. Didn't he already admit to asking them about, and wanting information from them regarding hunter biden in several interviews? one by the helicopter. Though this one would have specifically referred to the phone call.

  25. This is why the legislative system is absolute BS.

  26. But wasn't it already discovered repeatedly that Trump campaign funds were being funneled to family, friends, and associates?

  27. Didn't trump also just admit he was afraid of the virus. Which should tell his supporters to, but why many don't grasp the broader implications of his statements, I do not know.

  28. That's a shame she seemed like a great person.

  29. Good plan Mr. President... goood, wait what was I complementing you for again? Good words Mr. President, good words. Some might say the best words....

  30. Was there only 40 people?

  31. Why don't they just pick another?

  32. Please this is a non-story. The republicans have been saying: A) he's old and in poor health B) a criminal Both of those make more sense than a non-threatening/confused "death threat"

  33. Unless they request permission from the users, this change would be illegal in many countries.

  34. 4chan is known for a lot more than that, he should have said "known to" or "has little oversight, and a lot of freedom, making it attractive for communications amongst ____". Now this guy just sounds like a "journalist" from buzzfeed opinion articles. Now I can say that the general tone on the 4chan boards is pretty aggressive, and not my thing. Just like many reddit forums. But that does not make all redditors "white nationalist, incel, man-baby, trolls".

  35. "Involved as in, expressed some kind of support for some conspiracies involved" How many are random likes on twitter. I have to say this sounds like garbage journalism, and certainly a conspiracy in and of itself.

  36. If the police had trouble with the guy perhaps there's more to it than the Gun Lobbyist trope of white knights with guns. It simply doesn't work like that. The man would've known other people had firearms, that obviously wasn't a deterrent, and it didn't help anyone not die.

  37. What is integrity? Politicians do not know.

  38. I like this temporary David better than the angry man (who doesn't always provide well supported journalism).

  39. Did anyone else see that second amendment misinformation ad before this? (the ad both features and is misinformation)

  40. The world and most of the US: "Why y'all run'n? Why y'all run'n? It's only a 600ft worm"

  41. Fox news is such trash.

  42. So... do you just not do news anymore?

  43. But to answer your question, boaters want: Beer, music, sunshine, and calm water free of logs.

  44. Do you have a link to this quiz I do: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz-map.html BTW being Canadian confuses the hell out of it. It may have clued in when I used the term "runners"

  45. Madison, Rockford, and Aurora, apparently have a fair bit in common with the mixed vernacular of more traditional Albertans.

  46. Twitter has no fake news button, But it sure as hell needs one.

  47. Or... would it be less of a shitshow if they followed through? Or would it be more if they hadn't? Can we know?

  48.  @ernestov1777  One can almost certainly guarantee it is not "no one", but here's hoping.

  49. WHAT!!!?

  50. Political parties should not be able to fund other parties, or other parties' candidates unless they merge.
