@ohiobarbarian,even if it were to mean their lives.They love that money more than they love their spouses and kids.

All good suggestions @ohiobarbarian but every one of those words assumes an action has been taken to physically ‘restrain’ them, and I’m not convinced it wasn’t done by agreement, which means it wasn’t an action taken without consent. Emasculated doesn’t usually happen with content does it? See what I mean by getting into the weeds…LOL?…[Read more]

True @ohiobarbarian but marketed, while true, doesn’t bring the loss of power that emasculated does. As @djean1111 says above everything has been changed over the last 40 years. We do not have a feminine word for emasculated, it is a male term. The closest we have castrated which is a male term also…when speaking of females we talk of spaying, wha…[Read more]

If Turner is at 50%, then she would be the likely winner, even if there were a runoff or RCV.  It would have to be a situation where all the other candidates were more establishment types, and all but one of them rose above personal ambition to withdraw in favor of Brown (or someone else deemed to have the best chance), and all…[Read more]

@OhioBarbarian,

Just think—your home state, Ohio, has realigned from bellwether (having voted with the presidential-election winners of 1964–2016) to Republican (about +12.50 points redder than the nation in 2020) and this is something one would think Democrats and Democratic-aligned states should be doing.

@ohiobarbarian

The electric company and the gas company are natural monopolies.  It doesn’t make sense to have competition, which would mean duplicating expensive systems of delivery.

Facebook is also a natural monopoly, although not for the traditional reason that competition would require expensive infrastructure.  If Facebook were broken up i…[Read more]

As a group,college professors say the right things and are socially  liberal,but when their careers or pocketbooks are threatened—when the rubber meets the road,if you will—they will go for the status quo.

They also spent so many years being instructed by other status quo managers(in other words,all the schoolteachers under whom…[Read more]

Whether the proper definition is attempted coup, riot, or something else.  I don’t think the intent was a coup – a successful coup would require a hell of a lot more and even idiots know that.  Even republicans know that.

The credibility though, of anyone who supports Biden or Clinton rightly should be hig…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian.

”Somebody else put you up to that”,whatever it was I thought that wasn’t what they thought at the time.And since what they thought changed every five minutes,how could anyone keep up.

Then I figured it out.If they think you are so malleable that others can fool you,what they are really saying is that they are going to fool you as well.

personally, that spending time on the GOP, or Trump, is just deflection from what the Democratic Party is doing/not doing, and has absolutely nothing to do with “trying to achieve progressive goals”.  Just with trying to cast the Democratic Party as the lesser evil.  I don’t think anyone here is going to vote GOP in the first place.  Also, th…[Read more]

This wasn’t an “insurrection”:it was the most elemental type of riot,the kind of rioting Democrats said was just fine if it was rioting for a cause THEY supported.

@ohiobarbarian.

So-called liberals somehow don’t think Trump could  manage to cover his tracks as well as their preferred crooks—no names,HillBilly—do and can.

Guaranteed,if Trump had done anything truly actionable,prosecution would have happened long ago.

@ohiobarbarian

I was thinking that with this many people in the race you need 50% + to get over the threshold so there is not a runoff.

I thought that’s how it normally works.

@ohiobarbarian,even before he got all the press in World War II.

Look at how he handled the Bonus Army in 1932,all so he could strut before the newsreel cameras.

Ike  said he studied dramatics from McArthur.

I have thoroughly studied the subject of crop circles. There have been over 10,000 in over 50 countries around the world. A real crop circle contains wheat that is BENT, not BROKEN (as it is when humans attempt to make one). Real crop circles also usually contain high amounts of measurable radiation. Human-made counterparts do not. The list goes…[Read more]

@robotx @ohiobarbarian

I believe it was over gerrymandering districts to keep Texas Red. It was a blatant abuse of power considering the districts were redrawn in 2001 after the 2000 Census. So the Democrats fled to break the quorum needed to proceed with the vote.

The Republicans called in the newly minted Department of Homeland Security to track airline flights and…[Read more]
