Well I need to stay awake until tonight. The filibuster is meant to promote compromise, but because there's no real political cost to using or abusing it, reform is necessary. The 'talking filibuster,' while seemingly absurd, could be reinstated to restore some of that cost. Additionally...

Anyway, I'm recovering from a flight across the pond so brain bad. I swear though that the right wing media are just using Idiocracy as a roadmap now. Kamala spoke with an effeminate voice!

Indeed, the poorly educated. Synonymous words are a rhetorical choice rather than a sign of poor speaking ability. They were so focused on that they didn't notice that Tim Walz clearly had marionette strings moving his body. She probably murdered him a week ago. :)

It was bracketed in a live broadcast. It's not a Moon landing conspiracy. The notion that Kamala can't speak well is embarrassing. As a linguist said, often times using three words that mean nearly the same thing is just a way of avoiding saying 'um'. It's a rhetorical device trial lawyers employ.

While it’s not standard practice to show pre-recorded content with a "live" label, it can happen, and the label often refers to the live nature of the entire broadcast rather than the specific segment. There was a live presenter lead in and discussion after.

I'm very not OK :) back from the other side of the pond and it was almost, but not quite as much fun as a good, solid, kick in the head. Well Harris has committed to appointing a Republican to her cabinet. Kinzinger, Cheyney possibly? As much as people really just want to see mass deportation...

I don't care about betting sites. Like trading, I make my decisions based on fundamentals as best I gather them and make a call. It is going to be a real mess but Trump only caught the car in 2016 and has not won since.

Go back to sweeping Wildy, this is above your grade.

No time and no need. The game of thrones is what it is within the parties. What you guys forget is that that choosing a presidental candidate means you also grant him the power to pick his successor aka VP. There are a whole bunch of legal complications if it's not the VP who is picked at so...

What happened was she was a proper sneeky keeping a low VP profile which didn't make sense for a while. She gets where she wants to go with a fraction of a percent of the noise Donny makes. That is a good quality. Joe was capable of doing a second term with a lot of naps. But it wasn't ideal...

Somebody who has extra big hands and three language keyboards on his phone in parallel? Fair enough though. You understand that Trump half believes his own lies and she has no reason to show her hand until the debate. Its a crazy situation that OAN and Fox are telling HIM stuff wants to hear...

Well I for one could feel the guiding hands of Jesus and the Virgin Mary in Kamala's presence during the interview. (guess what that is). She is building, in a fraction of the time candidates normally have. It was bland and safe, the next outing will be more bread and circuses. But she can...

It would be good if one could play it out like this scene with the three players, but grudge matches are never cool and slick in the real world. The US got it's wish after the fall of the USSR to make the world uni-polar. Europe should have developed an integrated response capability, not just...

A Ron Swanson and his brother Don Swanson do not a whole society make. For libertarian utopía to exist, everybody would have to be a certain, peculiar, way. Japan is quite successful at being mostly a certain peculiar way but that's because they have, by a margin of double, more autism than...

There are times to disagree more resoundingly too, with real world problems involving other people who are actually real. Trust me, I was a sniper. ;) Libertarian theory has never actually worked just like pure socialism or pure capitalism.

Good to hear. Well forgive me if I took your several posts about having money sent to you a certain way Spy ;) The simple fact is that a few percent of any normal population are quite incapable of supporting themselves in the modern world. They would have been eaten by a leopard or stepped on...

Lapid says Netanyahu knew for months before Oct. 7 that a violent eruption was looming Opposition leader: Disaster could have been prevented, PM seemed ‘bored’ when told of dangers during joint briefing; PM’s office: He ‘did not receive any warning about the war in Gaza’...

@spy, nothing you think is going to change anything, it's what you do that makes you Batman etc. ET politics has a long history of both left and right ignoring/mocking Randian individualism bollocks. While Wildchild is a janitor, most of these guys are retired or semi, several are wealthy. You...

Well they asked Walz about the "in war" and IVF, the drink driving charge lies by his campaign manager. He wandered off and she brought him back to it. It wasn't a very satisfying response but he said that if it wasn't this it would be about his dog etc. Harris was pursued about her position...

Oddly quiet this thread considering the interview was yesterday? Almost as if Kamala was able to talk... I must have a look. Maybe right wing media was slow to tell the guys what they are to think and say today if they were focused on the Trump event as if they knew it would be a nothing burger...
