I didn't construct my post as an attack on you @hush If the documentary doesn't support the ideas I have described, okay I'll take your word for it. You are right, I should watch before jumping to any conclusions. Lately I been exposed to many of these "backlash" ideas by Jordan Peterson and...

Full disclosure, I have not seen the documentary. I don't think I plan to see it. As a progressive I'm immediately suspicious of all this what I call "the backlash". Conservatives, who oppose progressive ideas anyway, seek to bolster their position by trying to convince everyone positions...

I agree with what @invisible just said. Very well put. "The buck stops here" No matter how good those people who are advising the president, he is the leader and must make the final decision. If the president has no basis in knowledge or experience to analyze the information presented, then...

George III: I pray Mr. Adams, that America does not suffer unduly for its want of a monarchy. Prophetic words? Signed "The real Canadian" and yes @James campaign finance and an attempt to divorce money from politics should be first on the list

I think the idea that people without any experience in law or government can be effective has no basis in fact. History does not support it. Donald Trump is the only US president ever with no political or military experience. It shows in his general ignorance of the political process in the...

For all you American Progressives who think an Oprah presidency would be great, think twice about it. Read this article: https://slate.com/health-and-science/2018/01/oprah-winfrey-helped-create-our-irrational-pseudoscientific-american-fantasyland.html Her role in promoting irrational pseudo...

We all know Trump’s a bigot. Some of us have long suspected he’s also a white supremacist who favors the so-called “Aryan race.” According to Nazi ideology, the purest stock of Aryans was the Nordic people of Germany and Norway. Hitler and Nazi racial theorist Hans Gunther saw this as an issue...

What's up with the current American fascination with "outsiders" running for political office? Is there a shred of evidence to support the idea that being president is a job that a person with zero experience with the political or legal process can effectively perform? Is there any evidence...

Fascinating. @Skarekrow to quote a phrase. The power of meditation is well documented and undedniable. I have started it do it myself. The defrag analogy is well taken. Stay strong brother-in-arms!

This is so completely delusional it begs for a response. America is obviously losing its leadership role on the world stage. Many other countries no longer look to US thanks to the irratic behaviour of Trump. This process has been ongoing for a number of years, due not so much to American...

The Black Mirror episode "San Junipero" was beautiful and very touching. Black Mirror is interesting I like most of the episodes. The acting of Mackenzie Davis and Gugu Mbatha-Raw was extermely good. Belinda Carlisle was always under rated as a solo act in my opinion. The OA was extremely...

Why is this thread still going? Conservative America is what's dying and this thread should be going with it. On the wrong side of history, it becomes only a matter of time before all the tried and worn out crackpot theories of the past can no longer be sustained. Trump and Republicans are...

Thanks James
