So, good guy with a gun?

You needn't any moral virtue to condemn assassinations. Assassinations are stupidly ineffective political tools. Especially if you're trying to change the social order instead of enforce it.

Right wing people have been accusing me of hypocrisy for condemning the attempt on Trump's life while considering him a threat to the country. But that argument assumes that political violence works. (which says more about how they think than I)

I think people are missing the fact that the features of this VW are going away because they run on 3G. What can a car manufacturer do? Correct me if I'm wrong, you can't just drop a new antenna to fix the problem.

Cars routinely last 15 years and that's geologic time compared to tech. This isn't just a problem of greed or lack of foresight.

Jessica could see that Billy was an attractive mate. Unfortunately, his sensitivity triggered her lizard brain to judge him as a poor protector.

I'll never get over the power of language. Here we have a man that raped a child and the controversy is over how to label the rapist.

No holy book in history has ever exercised more influence and control over society than the dictionary.

IQ is not an objective measure of intelligence, because intelligence is colloquial and subjective. If I told you I invented an instrument that could objectively score every human on their beauty, you'd see the problem right away.

IQ was a project of Eugenics. It's trash science.

If it wasn't for this rule, Wikipedia could have become myspace.

Racism is highly heritable. This comports to the research, personal observation, and common sense.

The observation that it's not 100% heritable is obtuse. Height is only 60-80% heritable.

They should have named it "Rationalization".

I've scoured all the literature and made an exhaustive summary:

Women are responsible for my problems.

Vance is a big phat phony in the vein of Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. Even credulous MAGA smells a rat. Everybody else suspects he's a Wall st. mole to soothe the minds of the ownership class.

No matter how you look at it, Vance is another bad deal brought to you by Donald Trump.

It is a good and smart move for a foreign power to align itself with conservatives under Trump. Israel will certainly not regret marrying herself to Donald Trump.
