As despicable as FOX News is, they've broken no laws, and they don't have a license.

I, too, very much appreciate the discussion without insults and caps lock. The whole "fake Christian" idea is very dismissive of the fact that conservative Christian evangelical churches played a big part in getting 47 elected. It is like a new denomination has been created.

So the question remains, what are they? In this situation where there is so much religion in politics, I think that is an important question. I can't buy the idea that 10s of millions of Trump supporters are really atheists pretending to be Christian because they want mass deportations.

They claim it, yes. Also, they believe in God, Jesus, quote the Bible, go to church, wear a cross, pray. All kinds of outward signs. Being a Christian doesn't make you a good person. Being a good person does.

What are they, then? If you ask any of them, they will tell you how Christian they are. Generally, you don't even have to ask.

And Christian. They are very, very Christian. Christianity is an ideology that needs to be eliminated.

It's kind of telling how "those lived through it" people are convinced right-wing programming didn't exist before Reagan. But never consider the effects of Clinton's telecommunications act. It's almost like it's partisan.

Ngl, I liked the guy arguing with the 2yo, and then the romance around mispronounciations. But the yellow tribble is kind of dumb.

Me too. But yet, somehow, I have found a way.

Jerry Ford was not dumb, just a bit of a klutz. He was also an actual war hero. W was not the sharpest tool in the shop, but there's still miles between W and 47-level stupid. At least W learned to fly a jet. Imagine Trump as a pilot 😳!

In an ordinary situation, you would be correct, but in this particular case...we want REVENGE.

Me too. Wabash Ave. I wish now I still lived there so I could help.

There are a few, like my Nissan 240. But I like to think it's his red 58 Plymouth Fury that is so thirsty.

A VA psychiatrist? Doesn't surprise me. My experience is they are all very weird in one way or another.

In the 21st century, we are still fighting over whose God gave what land to which tribe. It's insane.

I'm curious what Stephen King is driving that requires "hi-test." Haven't heard that term in decades.

That's because mines are built for humans to work in them. Start from the other end. We need to get that vien of gold as fast as we can with little or no disruption to the surrounding area. What does a machine that can do that look like?

Why would robots that dig through mines or sweep garbage from the ocean have anything close to a human form?

Or The Boys. That went over their heads, too.

That show was all of us. It was a mirror held up to every day Americans. The actors made the show feel very real. These folks lived on my block, and that's what made AITF so great.

Change "vagina" to "feelings." Please.

Not defending RR, FOX News, or any other right-wing piece of shit. If you are looking to pinpoint a cause for our currently very fucked up media, the real culprit is the 1996 Telecommunications Act. It deregulated media ownership and allowed big media mergers. They need to be broken up.

Watching my Broncos on DAZN international. Because no Paramount+. The Spanish language gambling ads are even worse. Can't remember the last time I watched 60 Minutes. Sometime back in the 1900s maybe.

His definition of stupidity sounds exactly like religion.

It may be time to bring back some medieval torture devices to teach people not to traffic children.

If I wanted someone to constantly criticize my driving, I would have brought my wife.

Because the "rewind" was when the selected number was transmitted back to the exchange. The system counted the clicks as the dial went back to its starting position.

The character of Biff Tannen was based on Donald Trump. That's why I take offense.

You gonna run outta straw if you keep building this strawman. Nobody, absolutely nobody in the scientific community says life or anything else came from nothing. It is physically, philosophically impossible. Something from nothing, meaning "god created" is religious doctrine.

You can do that thanks to a very complex infrastructure that allows you to effortlessly send me your words at the speed of light. Your will ends at your keyboard.

Not nearly enough. We need a constitutional amendment explicitly guaranteeing a right to privacy.

The death penalty is really the whole foundation of Christianity. No surprise that it's still used in the US. One would think Christians would draw a line there. "Only God can take a life..."

No. There are places that have a concentration of US expats where the locals are justifiably concerned about gentrification. People come from all over to live here, and everyone I know makes a real effort to assimilate. There's no colonization, nowhere close.

Lived here 6 years, and yeah we resident gringos will totally check the tourists on that shit. And frankly, if you are going out expecting peace and quiet, you need to do that in a different country.

Time is a thing that exists. Like other forces of nature, literally everything has to follow its rules. Your eternal love exists in your brain. I'm glad that makes you feel good. But please don't insult me because I don't share it. Comparing me to Biff Tannen is going too far.
