  1. Trumpers celebrating a genuine shit-lib like ole’ Matty. That was not on my bingo card. β€œY’all some jumping mother fuckers.”
  2. it takes time. Read the linked article and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cosmopolitanism/ Good luck in your journey. Sincerely.
  3. Let me help: from December 2016 - https://hbr.org/2016/12/in-defense-of-cosmopolitanism These are dark times for cosmopolitans. Discontent with globalization and resentment towards minorities, immigrants, and intellectuals have fueled the rise of nationalism in Europe and the United States. Dressed in faux-neutral neologisms like β€œpost-truth” and β€œalt-right,” propaganda, racism, and xenophobia have elbowed their way back into the mainstream. And cosmopolitans are being portrayed as a detached and indulgent elite. Cosmopolitanismβ€”the aspiration to become a citizen of the worldβ€”has become a tainted luxury good. It might seem prudent, in this climate, to take distance from cosmopolitanism. That choice, however, leaves a distorted image of cosmopolitanism unchallenged and lets it become a casualty in the clash between nationalism and globalization. We must do better than that. If we want to fend off the globalization of ultra-nationalism, now is the time to take a stand for cosmopolitanismβ€”extricating its broadminded attitude from its elitist parody, and putting it to work to temper nationalism and humanize globalization.
  4. Thanks. Very few recognize cosmopolitanism as the antidote to tribalism. I appreciate your compliment.
  5. Right wing populist. His co-host pretends to be a β€œleft wing populist.” They have lost track of the narrative, which happens to more and more these days, as the world de-evolves into tribalism.
  6. Ice fishing is a gateway drug to prostitution. Sounds familiar.
  7. Wordle 235 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Saved par with an up-and-down bunker shot after whiffing on the tee shot.
  8. It weakens your credibility as a reliable and trustworthy conversationalist. Best to shoot straight. As for the subject, Biden apologized personally. Obama accepted it graciously and made Joe Biden his VP.
  9. Those are quotes from Biden. And you knew it when you posted it.
  10. Respectfully conservative cancellers, rather than burning your Carhartt clothing, please consider donating it to help those less fortunate. That would be the Christian thing to do.
  11. Turkey Chew = Donkey Cigars = [any Animal + Tobacco Product username]
  12. Wordle 234 4/6 πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©β¬›β¬› β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ© 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 What a mess. I am pleased with a par on this one.
  13. This plague of toxic stupidity enveloping the nation has multiple sources, including podcasts. Some are more problematic than others.
  14. I know Biden said he and VP Harris will run together in 2024, is that wise in the current timeline? If he does not run, who are the front runners for the Dems other than Harris?
  15. Sorry about the chart. Here is a better one using the same data:
  16. Left libertarians like me (and Noam Chomsky) have no party. Unlike Chomsky, I identify with market-oriented left-libertarianism. Since this nation (both Parties) embraces regressive right wing libertarian economics, which increase social and political strife, the policy goals for market-oriented left-libertarians (like myself) is to minimize the damage created by right wing libertarian fairy tales. If the ultimate goal for the markets is efficiency, then negative externalities created by market participants are the responsibility of the participant, not society as a whole. an example of inefficient policy making: tldr - inefficiency is a hallmark of the Uniparty; obfuscation is one of their tools. Just an opinion and no offense intended to Biden or Hillary supporters. Trump is on a different planet no seen since the Chicago Boys installed Pinochet in Chile.
  17. Wordle 233 3/6 β¬›πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ©β¬› β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. Terroristic threats remain illegal under Federal law and Texas law Who is the β€œwe” you reference?
  19. Turns out the ape expert was right and Rogaine was wrong - again. Joe’s Venom starts at 5:37. And again she right.
  20. That was very difficult for my tiny brain. Wordle 232 3/6 β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©β¬›β¬› πŸŸ©β¬›πŸŸ©πŸŸ©β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
