Oh great, our first tinfoil hatter.
Really Sacha? Some people will sell their souls for nothing at all.
Really Blimp? Just like Morgan's vanity party that you thought were going to be the cavalry riding over the hill to save you? And you think National is a "conservative" party? What exactly are they "conserving"? The privileges of rich old white men like ...
So where are T. rex and Megalodon now?
Old German joke from the 30s: What is an Aryan? He is blonde like Goebbels, tall like Hitler, lithe like Goering. As for BM? He probably has bone spurs.
based on what I hear on talkback, and just talking to friends. Solipsistic as ever.
JLR would prefer people leer about affairs than harrassment, because in some sectors an affair shows manliness. In overlapping sectors, harassment shows manliness.
Interesting the comparison between McConnell and Hindenburg. It's very easy to think of both as flammable gasbags.
We haven't heard from Wayne on this issue, have we? Only crickets. Misogyny and bullying by privileged fratboys in the legal profession should be something he would know all about with all his sinecures and the knowledge that they would have given him. ...
Indeed. If Godwin's offended, tough cheese. However, I find Hitler and Trump to be utterly uninteresting as personalities. I'm more appalled by those who facilitate their rise to power. There are those who think that they can use such demagogues to serve ...
Thanks for the link. Good to see what John Ralston Saul is up these days. I second Hedges' recommendation of Voltaire's Bastards - it's still very timely now.
While Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment has lately come under some criticism, it seems that history has replicated his findings perfectly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment The inspiration was Milgram's studies on obedience, but ...
Justice is an attitude and a practice, not a physical resource. There is no reason why it should be characterised as zero-sum. Giving rights to a woman does not take rights away from a worker unless you exclude women from the category of workers... and yet...
I think the New York Times exposing Trump as a tax evading fraudster will hurt him like no previous unsavoury exposure has. I'm doubtful. People who view taxes as inherently unfair will only see this as proof of his cleverness. Never underestimate the ...
It's not either-or or zero-sum. It's "Why aren't you being heard/dare to speak and what can be done to change that?" I don't have an answer, I want to hear one.
Indeed, it is a practical problem, embedded in the practice of investigation and prosecution. Putting Dr Ford in front of a prosecutor as if she was a criminal suspect was a deliberate cynical abuse of process, as was the strictly limited FBI investigation...
One of the reasons why I've virtually given up on The Standard. Same old shit, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I don't know. I'm not an optimist. "Cometh the hour, cometh the (wo)man" perhaps. I refer you to O'Connor's many published statements statements on behalf of the Police Association during the Louise Nicholas - related investigation. A man who aggressively ...
you really have to hope the political process in our small country never becomes so deeply dysfunctional as this. Who says it isn't? This is "profound and awful" especially when you consider the levels of reportage, prosecution and conviction for sexual ...
Circle of Derp https://twitter.com/gus_802/status/300429744841842688 It's been a curse of the left for a long time. The extremist poseurs start promulgating the same conspiracy theories as the far right and ultimately the same "solutions." Unfortunately, ...
A little bit of self-contempt is an inevitable result of self-awareness, some grit you'll never get out of the gears. If you've watched The Young Ones you'll remember that Rik the People's Poet was never so burdened by thought.
Soros, all by himself? All those women are irrelevant puppets in your worldview? If you're going to bring up Jewish conspiracies like Viktor Orban, are you sure that you don't mean the Rothschilds or the Elders of Zion? As a source, The Daily Caller is ...
Good thing that Trump's put an end to all that then and has never, ever advocated torture and assassination. I love the smell of selective outrage in the evening.
Still are, even more. They're not dropping daffodils and roses. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/08/trump-war-terror-drones/567218/ President Donald Trump has dramatically expanded the War on Terror. But you—and perhaps he—would never...
Someone should introduce her to Erran Morad and film what happens.
Typical Colonel Blimp - always fighting the wars of the last decade.
By the way, Wayne Blimp, since you consider yourself to be a qualified psychiatric professional (which I guess you can add to your various degrees in climatology and freshwater ecology), would you like to tell us where in the DSM 5 this "Key Derangement ...
Well duh. If all the unhappy people kill themselves, then the average level of happiness goes up.
Wayne Blimp, as an esteemed legal professional who just loves to lecture everyone one on decency and who prides himself on being an insider with all your sinecures, you knew all about this and were in power with the ability to stop it... and didn't. The ...
I have no desire to confirm that. I already know that wading neck deep through sewage is not a good idea. For some reason though, quite a few tinfoil hatters still squeal "but, but, but, her emails - and pizza!" Only slightly less insane by a minuscule ...
Jones is CV's fave news source. Quite a few here took him seriously in 2016. What's happened since then? Do any of you feel just a wee bit silly now?
