Koch brother money is part of why they tamed down their questions. Now that one is dead, probably doesn't matter as much to the other.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'm glad NPR reporters are finally sick of their poo poo (or whatever allowed them to let loose) and asking harder questions. I remembered complaining about their softballs to the administration a year or two back.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll revert back to normal sooner or later

Maybe Pompeo gets Bangladesh and Ukraine backwards and the entire time is going, "Why is she asking me about Ukraine when the president is undergoing an impeachment trial because of his interaction with Bangladesh? Doesn't she understand the gravity of the situation?"

Because Obama bad, Trump good. Stop thinking about it. It's propaganda. If it makes sense that might actually hurt the message. It's supposed to be an incoherent shriek of rage targeting the "other".

The typical line among conservatives who know stuff about natsec isn�t that the deal helped Iran with nuclearization, it was that it allowed them to better fund other stuff like IRGC and conventional missile and drone development. That�s the more common argument, at least.

Blind Rasputin posted:

Am I reading that right that China is building two 1,300 bed hospitals in... about 3 weeks??

Those are monstrous hospitals. Like Mass Gen is 1,000 beds. I realize they’re probably just floor after floor of open space for death cots but still they are throwing a loving rediculous workforce at these things to scream through their construction. I couldn’t even pull this in FrostPunk let alone Starcraft.

I have to assume they the Chinese government is withholding numbers of cases. The WHO has been using case # to calculate the R0 (R-“naught”) which is the rate of infectivity. How many people one person will infect. So far it’s like 1.4-2, SARS was near 5. Its way too low for this type of response.

So what will happen is this virus will get a foothold in another country, but one WHO can see into with more clarity. They’ll watch the number of cases spread like a forest fire and the R0 will be 8 or something equally horrific, and they’ll have objective proof China was lying its butt off about the numbers.

I had to look up TERF because a friend posted some poo poo about buying bootleg Harry Potter stuff so as not to support Rowling anymore. IDGI but whether or not transgendered girls get to earn college athletic scholarships is super low on my list of poo poo that is important to me so I suspect I am not the target audience for the initialism.

I hope one day people step back and realize how hosed up it is that we invented a term for "transphobes who are women" and it's worse than just being a regular transphobe because it implies you're a traitor to the cause and also as a side effect gives ostensible "allies" cart blanche to unload their pent up misogyny on a valid target.

Graham Linehan (creator/co-creator of Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd) gets called a TERF though, although he says he's only a "feminist ally" because only women can be "feminists" :shrug:
