    “Should ‘dimms’”

    Show me one time that CNN or MSNBC (or NBC, ABC, CBS...) has used a disparaging term for the GOP in a graphic like that. Fox is a de facto propaganda arm of the Republican Party. That the other cable news networks are not doesn't make them Democratic propagandists. Barack Obama didn't like CNN any more than Trump does. The independent media is a headache for any politician.

    Fox is unique. And their use of pseudo-news and editorializing coupled with their success in getting ratings has had a negative impact on the other networks. CNN didn't have all the panel shows before Fox came along.

    Tell me where I have bad judgment?

    You questioned the definition of a live bomb and then said the harmless powder was not harmless. You're advancing contradictory positions and it's pretty obvious. You strike me as full of shit. 

    Btw, is there explosive material inside the bomb? Yes? Then that's a live bomb. Can the powder harm anyone? No? Then that's harmless powder.

    The best thing that caravan could do now is to pick up a bunch of cinder blocks, stop on the Mexican side of the border and build a wall with a sign stating it’s designed to stem the flow of stupidity from the north. 

    And send Trump the bill.

    That was the entire first year and a half or so. "untruths" or "falsehoods" were the preferred nomenclature.

     

    "No one" is a pretty broad category. I've been calling him a liar for years. His GOP opponents in the primaries called him a liar. All his political opponents point out his lies. I can cite examples from media sources starting with Shep Smith who called him out for "lie after lie" on Fox News of all places in March of last year. The Atlantic, The New Yorker, the LA Times, HuffPo, The Toronto Star, just to name a few. The guy who got laid off at Carrier who tweeted that Trump lied to him all for a photo op. 

    Yeah, sometimes people use synonyms for lying like untruths and falsehoods. Barack Obama called him a bullshitter. That's a mere technicality. But it's simply not true that there was a time when no one used the terms lie, liar, and lying in reference to the President's compulsion to lie constantly about even the most trivial and easily fact-checkable topics.

    No Al Pacino is the one who couldn't sleep, because he wasn't from there. 

    And because he had a guilty conscience.

    disagree.  pacino captured the hopeless desperation of the character very vividly. 

    And Robin Williams was excellent. And Maura Tierney was a babe. So was Hilary Swank. I thought the ending was solid and not telegraphed. Then you realize that was really the only way it could end. I wouldn't call it a classic or a 10 or anything but it's a good flick. Lots of great scenery too.

    Yeah, it's pretty disgusting. My oldest child is turning 18 in late November, so not in time for this election. But I have told my kids that my love for them is far more important than political opinion so no matter whom they vote for or what policies they support, so long as they are respectful of other people and hold those positions honestly then we won't have any issues.

    But if there is an election and they don't vote then they're not invited home for Thanksgiving that year.

    If your eldest votes for Trump in 2020 then you have failed as a parent.

    Not reading all post but what’s the consensus of the surly right wing loons on this

    Skip the middle man and just tune to Fox News. Get their opinions directly from the source.

    I've never seen a White Castle besides in the Harold Kumar movie. And the frozen shit in the stores.

    I don't know what the stats are now but for a long time White Castle was rated as the cleanest fast food restaurant year after year. I've never been in one that wasn't spotless. I haven't been through their drive-thru in years and it's been even longer since I've been inside their store. But concerns over their cleanliness would be the last thing to keep me away. 

    Their fries are legit. I could devour a half dozen of their burgers after a night of drinking but I wouldn't feel very good the next day. Sliders are weird. It's like the burger patty is a condiment for the pickles and onions. Somehow it works.
