"Spark of humanity" seems a bit like a supernatural element. Can he be more specific. Is he talking about something identifiable, testable? I know I might sound skeptical but he is the leader of one of the worlds biggest superstitions, no one should assume his claims to have a rational basis

The now-defunct Post.News social media site attempted that, a pay-per-linked-article model. I thought it was a really good idea but it never took off. techcrunch.com/2024/04/19/p...

But think how much better Democrats would do if they didn’t have a leader who makes everyone think Democrats are worthless. There’s no point in Democrats having any power if they never accomplish anything with it. And by accomplish anything, I mean jail people

"The phrase politically correct first appeared in the 1930s, when it was used to describe dogmatic adherence to ideology in totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.[5] Early usage of the term politically correct by leftists in the 1970s and 1980s was as self-critical satire"

So you can call Trump Putin’s puppet but not Netanyahu’s puppet? Although to be clear, I don’t think Trump is a puppet. He’s just simple minded and easily manipulated.

In CA wine growing regions smoke from fires taints the grapes making them worthless. They're left hanging on the vines to rot. An entire year's crop, an entire year's income, completely wiped out. Devastating for the farmer, devastating for the farm workers. I'm sure many other crops are similar
