Wait, he's still going through with the accusation even with all the information that was discovered proving it is false?

He's going whole hog into the conspiracy theory angle. He said that the WaPo faked that blurb about Mueller being on jury duty in DC to discredit the allegations.

New York Democratic congressional nominee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will win her general election race easily and become the youngest woman ever in Congress, CNN has projected.

It's kind of weird knowing that there's going to be a president congressional representative who is seven years younger than me.

So what does the Religious Right have against in-vitro fertilization? Is it because it takes Jesus out from between the sheets and lets the doctors in?

It lets women decide when they become pregnant, which is insanely haram.

Also another way of complaining about the hive mind, i.e. "a bunch of people all disagree with me, it must be because they're mindless drones".

At protests they're just dudes that wear grey and bring signs that all say "ORANGE MAN BAD", because they've all collectively decided that that's what the left believes, and they think that this is a sick own.

My dad grew up in Arizona so Goldwater was his senator, and he basically worships the ground he walked on. He loving hates Trump, but he keeps holding Goldwater up as the exemplar of what Republicans should be. I've tried telling him that Goldwater is the reason the GOP is the way it is today, and that it was wrong of him to oppose the CRA, but all I get out of him is "well he actually wasn't racist and he said he regretted the decision [long after he retired from politics of course]".

I'm definitely glad he's not a chud, but the centrist garbage can be really frustrating. After the midterms he told me that he hoped the Dems learned the lesson that they need to run more moderate candidates rather than "hardcore progressives" like Gillum and O'Rourke.

It's also telling that popular modern science fiction doesn't even bother to terraform Mars. The Expanse franchise is in the late 2400s and Mars is still just a bunch of domes. Mass Effect is in the late 2100s and it doesn't have a breathable atmosphere. Like goddamn.

The Expanse is one of the most realistic takes on interplanetary expansion. It's not the glamorous utopia of Star Trek, it's not the swashbuckling adventure of Star Wars, it's cold and dark and miserable and there's a million different ways you can die, both instantly or prolonged. And the greatest danger in the Expanse is capitalism. Some corporate suit thinks they can save a buck by reducing oxygen output on mining stations by 10%, and now your children (who you have to bring with you because you can't exactly drop them off at daycare a million miles away) are growing up literally retarded. And then you get blown up by the military for protesting it.

Mars is extraordinarily hosed up in The Expanse. They all know that the terraforming project will take thousands of years, so everyone who lives there is raised to be fanatically devoted to it. Their economy is still capitalist though, so they end up with a few super rich families that control all the terraforming machinery, and the lower classes are fully indoctrinated to believe that anyone who doesn't work for a living (like the billions of people on Earth on basic income) is a greedy, selfish "taker". The end result is an insanely fascist society.

I loving love The Expanse.

gently caress yes hombre. Bobbi is my second favorite character (after Amos of course because Amos is peak GiP) who starts out all hoorah and gung-ho and "WHO WILL DRINK EARTH'S RIVERS DRY AND POUND THEIR MOUNTAINS TO SAND MARS MARS HOOAH" but realizes very quickly "holy gently caress I puke every time I look -up- because I've lived in a dome my whole life and the gravity hurts my bones and why are there so many people what the gently caress".

The future looks a lot like the present except with more spaceships.

My favorite thing is how (book 4+ spoilers) an alien gateway network is opened up to a thousand Earth-like worlds, and Mars doesn't see it as a blessing but rather as an existential crisis, because their people have been raised to believe that they need to toil to create a habitable world that they'll never live to see... but now they don't.

I've taken to describing socialism to my coworkers that asked me about it in the last month or so as "The belief that everyone should have healthcare, education, and something that resembles a social safety net by taxing the poo poo out of the monopoly man" and they were all like 'huh, that's it?' yeah mang, that's it. Spooky.

That's going to be a pretty hard sell for all the people who have been brainwashed into thinking that those things are handouts, and that trickle down economics works.
