  1. A privileged bigot getting a high on seeing people at the bottom of the pile scraping a living from other people’s trash.
  2. FOX tells lies. Why would anyone believe the reasons they give for firing their single biggest audience draw? I don’t believe we’ve been told why Carlson was fired, I certainly don’t believe it was for making racist or offensive comments within internal communications. There’s always a profit and loss calculation in business, the profit was Carlson’s audience draw, what was the loss? It certainly wasn’t some text message that people will argue was or was not racist.
  3. The NY Times is the news reporter, the source is Carlson’s text messages.
  4. Whether or not he was a ‘terrorist’ is a matter of opinion. It is however indisputable that he’s just become a martyr for his cause.
  5. So let’s just pause for a moment and contemplate where on earth such a bitter hate filled comment came from.
  6. My what a lot of unsubstantiated assertions, assumptions and guess work.
  7. It started in a rightwing political strategy meeting. The rightwing invented it.
  8. I agree. The problem for Trump is, his base can’t win him an election. He needs to attract middle of the road swing voters.
  9. I tend to read the posts of regular contributors ‘in the whole’, it helps with spotting patterns in their thinking. The Venn diagram of certain views, frequently expressed by some, approaches that of a unitary circle. If I might give some examples: People who accept the anthropomorphic climate change thesis, also tend to be pro-vaccine, pro-choice, pro-immigration, anti-trickledown economics, pro-LGBTQ rights. When it comes to some other issues, for instance around the examples you have chosen as the basis of your argument, a whole different ‘unitary circle’ reveals itself.
  10. I think you are confusing the GOP sham impeachment trials with those held in open courts before juries of citizens who are not bought and owned by the hyper wealthy who own the GOP.
  11. Your isolationism idea, it was tried before remember.
  12. How about raising taxes on the hyper wealthy?
  13. If the race of the person being portrayed has no bearing on their life story then I don’t care who plays who. But examples you chose, MLK and Mohammed Ali are evidently race specific historical characters. That you chose these in juxtaposition to Anne Boleyn reveals a level of unbelievable ignorance. I myself think it wasn’t ignorance but that other thing that causes some folk to get rather irrational and irate over matters of race.
  14. I’ve posted my count of the Federal investigations we know or can surmise Trump is under. However, Jack Smith is running a tight ship, there are no leaks getting out, only public court filings and statements made by individuals after giving testimony to Grand Juries. What I personally suspect is the indictments against Trump will extend to shocking crimes, far worse than even his detractors imagine. There is no boundary for Trump, no norm he won’t break, no bottom to the depths of his depravity.
  15. Your support for Trump and expectation that he will not be found guilty of any crimes is noted. However, he is already indicted on 34 counts and under investigation for at least 3, possibly five serious crimes. The allegations are serious, and all suggest a character far removed from how you yourself view Trump. So for the record, will you accept any guilty verdict returned against Trump? For the record I myself will accept each court verdict in Trump’s trials. How about you?
  16. Let’s just examine this for a moment. ”So you’d support Tom Cruise playing Michael Jordan?” Not the topic of discussion, not even anything I’ve ever expressed an opinion on. “Or can you work race into his story as well ?” Erm what? “It seems you think race is integral to every black persons story.” Now you are back to imagining the opinions on behalf of others then asserting that they hold the opinions you have imagined. “That’s identity politics I guess.” No, that’s you making up views on behalf of other people. “incredibly divisive but a staple of the Wokerati diet.” A bit of a poor diet given the content of your post here comprises nothing but your own imaginings. I suggest you argue with what people have actually said and not what you imagine they have said. You are in truth arguing with yourself. It’s not a good look.
  17. You mention health failings. But you’ve no evidence. Your politically biased misrepresentations of Biden are not a diagnosis of anything, they are however a symptom.
  18. The question is not why doesn’t Biden take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, it’s why was Trump rushed to the Walter Reed in the middle of the night to have the test administered? The attempt to deflect from this reality is what’s behind the ‘projection’ tge rightwing are engaging in.
  19. Don’t take it too seriously, it’s from FOX. Actually, don’t take it at all seriously.
  20. Jack Smith is investigating Trump for 3 and perhaps as many as five Federal crimes: 1. Retention and concealment of classified documents. 1.2 If there is evidence Trump has shown or shared any of the documents to others then additional charges under the espionage act are possible. 2. Conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election (impede or stop a lawful Government procedure). 2.2 Individual followers of Trump on and around J6 have been convicted of Seditious Conspiracy, Trump is almost certainly under investigation for this more serious crime. 3. Trump has raised over $250million on the back of the ‘Big Steal Lie’, seeking and obtaining donations in the basis of a lie is wire fraud. Less certain, though often reported are investigations into RICO and of course Obstruction of Justice. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
  21. I’ve explained why race is central to the lives and any portrayal of the lives of MLK and Mohammed Ali, and why issues of race is not any part of the life of Anne Boleyn. Refer above.
  22. In the couple of weeks after the Baht crashed I went with work colleagues to Sugar Hut for dinner. Eight of us ‘put the boat out’ for less than $10 a head.
