Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

Here's a fun read on Trump. Nothing particularly new, salacious or interesting but it's entertaining.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/trump-lies/

quote:

It was a mid-December morning in 2007 — the start of an interrogation unlike anything else in the public record of Trump’s life.

Trump had brought it on himself. He had sued a reporter, accusing him of being reckless and dishonest in a book that raised questions about Trump’s net worth. The reporter’s attorneys turned the tables and brought Trump in for a deposition.

For two straight days, they asked Trump question after question that touched on the same theme: Trump’s honesty.

The lawyers confronted the mogul with his past statements — and with his company’s internal documents, which often showed those statements had been incorrect or invented. The lawyers were relentless. Trump, the bigger-than-life mogul, was vulnerable — cornered, out-prepared and under oath.

Thirty times, they caught him.

Trump had misstated sales at his condo buildings. Inflated the price of membership at one of his golf clubs. Overstated the depth of his past debts and the number of his employees.

That deposition — 170 transcribed pages — offers extraordinary insights into Trump’s relationship with the truth. Trump’s falsehoods were unstrategic — needless, highly specific, easy to disprove. When caught, Trump sometimes blamed others for the error or explained that the untrue thing really was true, in his mind, because he saw the situation more positively than others did.


quote:

Another one. In O’Brien’s book, Trump had been quoted saying: “I had zero borrowings from [my father’s] estate. . . . I give you my word.”

Under oath:

“Mr. Trump, have you ever borrowed money from your father’s estate?”

“I think a small amount a long time ago,” Trump said. “I think it was like in the $9 million range.”

Another one. In one of his own books, Trump had said about one of his golf courses: “Membership costs $300,000. I think it’s a bargain.”

Under oath:

“In fact, your memberships were not selling at $300,000 at that time, correct?”

“We’ve sold many for two hundred” thousand, Trump said. Then, Trump pushed it upward: “We’ve sold many for, I think, two-fifty.”

But this was not the place to push it.

The lawyer had an internal Trump document that showed the true figure — “$200,000 per membership,” Ceresney said.

“Correct,” Trump acknowledged. “Right.”

It's probably good because the idea that millennials are ALL buried under debt and have no jobs isn't true, it's just that the percentage is higher than the last generation.

It's also that "a generation" is really long. I'm a millennial born in 1981. I went to college and got college loans that had 2.5% interest with that being a special punishment rate because I missed some payments and it raised my 2.3% a little. Someone going to college today has a rate between 6 and 8% and that basically means no one will ever pay them off again, like from the start to the end of the millennial generation is night and day.

Sorry if this has been talked about to death, but I just realized what's hilarious about the "I hope isn't a command" defense James Risch was trying yesterday. It's that we have an example from Trump himself using "hope" as a threat. Or are his defenders going to next argue that Trump's tweet isn't an implied threat that a tape exists disproving Comey, and merely Trump's stated wish that a such a tape could exist.

He was known as a jerk before the incident too. It doesn't justify physical assault.


Qualtrics panel surveys aren't a remotely reliable source, especially without methods info. I, too, am curious how more millenials can own homes than "any item over $2000".

Cillizza is definitely wrong about most things, but this isn't one of them. Particularly since the audience that matters here isn't the American public; it's legislators, and the intelligence community.
