I've lost a follower. I was probably being racist or something so fair enough.

Flexible concept, but is Trump the most famous man to become President?

I can feel a very quixotic political opinion coming on. Haven't felt like this since Sarkozy fell in love with Carla Bruni.

Are all people in wheelchairs unemployable or is it just an argument against Mitch McConnell?

Trump says every adult American will get $5,000 if Republicans win midterms
Speaking at a party convention, the US president gave no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from.

clever people: what did Edith Cavell mean when she said that patriotism isn't enough? She was being executed for helping escaped British servicemen, which she probably wouldn't have done had she been, e.g., German.

If I had visited Germany in the 1930s (& to continue the counterfactual: if I looked the same as I do now), I would have found the SS & SA polite and considerate, because I wouldn't be at first sight the sort of people whom they'd beat up.

The SS & other perpetrators of the Holocaust didn't put themselves in danger. The use of police to keep order, help out with round-ups, etc., bears witness to this. Whatever weapons they carried were for exercising violence, not for fighting. Cowardice wasn't the gravest evil but it was there.
