Yeah. It most definitely was not "truly horrible".

These two remind me of Starkweather and Fugate. Evil idiots.

Except impeachment won't solve what ails us. The Senate won't convict.

Maybe you can help me with this: how would moving forward with impeachment help solve this constitutional crisis?

Are you new to Texas?

Maybe you'll get measles before then and, who knows?

Sorcery. Yeah, like evolution, right?

Like maple syrup, Canada's evil oozes over the United States.

Yeah, um no, I'm not starting a new thread. Thanks anyways.

Good article in The New Yorker by Dexter Filkins. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/05/06/john-bolton-on-the-warpath

No, it's not a serious theological question, imo. Asking for prayers, when done in a positive way, brings together a group of like-minded people, sharing concern, pain, and offering support to get people through this thing called life. How the hell can one then ask "how is that supposed to help"?

By choosing to frame the issue, even if partially, with the use of the word "honest". Imo, it's not an issue of honesty. It's diplomacy.

Rather than calling Cora "less than honest", or basically dishonest, I would say he's being diplomatic.

Oh, the term "evangelical" still has a lot of meaning. Unfortunately, the meaning is bad.

You seem to be implying that making this a political thing is Cora's fault.

That's why I'd rather not see her described as being "evangelical".

Sorry to hear this. Christianity needs more like her.

Not only that, but does anyone seriously/rationally think that even if the US somehow helped secure Palestinian sovereignty, that the Palestinians wouldn't turn on the US, probably with a vengeance? The Palestinians have killed their own and then blamed Israel. That is fucked up. There is value in protecting human life (something both sides of this conflict seem to miss at times).

In a quest to cut costs (and, it seems, to see how far idiocy can become a strategic objective) Boeing cut off the input from their own test pilots. Boeing Co. BA 0.18% limited the role of its own pilots in the final stages of developing the 737 MAX flight-control system implicated in two fatal crashes, departing from a longstanding practice of seeking their detailed input, people familiar with the matter said. As a result, Boeing test pilots and senior pilots involved in the MAX’s development didn’t receive detailed briefings about how fast or steeply the automated system known as MCAS could push down a plane’s nose, these people said. Nor were they informed that the system relied on a single sensor—rather than two—to verify the accuracy of incoming data about the angle of a plane’s nose, they added. Investigators have linked faulty sensor data to the flight-control system’s misfire, which led to crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that took 346 lives. https://www.wsj.com/articles/boeings-own-test-pilots-lacked-key-details-of-737-max-flight-control-system-11556877600?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=4

Well, if Laura says it then it must be true.

Probably right, but I can see the "loyalty" being to the party and not to the person (or so the argument would go). I can see some (countless???) members of Congress supporting Trump b/c they would be supporting the party.

Let me respond to that statement by running it through the GOP/Conservative Automated Response Bot: "The guy who was shot by the cop was black. What part of that don't you understand? Murica."

Maybe, except that there's a good argument that Semenya is a man. Undescended testicles and all that. The doctor at the time of delivery (from what I've read) told the family that the child was more boy that girl (hermaphrodite; now called intersex) but for some reason the family with the female route. Strange case, that's for sure.

That Mueller conducted a thorough investigation and found sufficient evidence of wrongs to pursue an indictment, whether that would break precedent or not. Mueller bailed. He left the hard work to a Congress that he (Mueller) knows won't act.

Don't know what that has to do with any of this. It certainly wasn't Maher's take on the matter, imo.
