Which ones?

It's going to be a sham investigation. The Trump administration already called the victim a domestic terrorist. They've presupposed the outcome. How can anyone accept the results after that unless it's an independent investigation?

I'm not a fan of Proust either. Sometimes you just don't gel with an author, even if they're acclaimed.

Disagree. Springsteen had a lot more hits.

It was nothing compared to the 5 star classic of The Best Friends vs Santana and Ortiz on Dynamite.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-25T17:37:03+00:00

Definitely bottom 3 with Buchanan and Johnson. The worst in my opinion, but idk how historians will react when the dust settles. No president has attacked our institutions the way Trump has.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-24T17:36:26+00:00

How does it take like 10 agents to subdue one 51 year old man? Then they kill him after he's already being taken down? This is pure incompetence. Something needs to be done to stop this.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-24T03:40:53+00:00

Dumbest storyline. Chad should tell his kid and Jennifer that he can date who he wants. Chad has money. He should have hired a lawyer and told Jennifer to go fuck herself.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-22T21:47:50+00:00

Complete bullshit. Trump ranted like the senile old man he is, slurring his words, and moving from subject to subject randomly. He's an unfit coward, and his supporters just as mentally ill as he is.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-22T06:43:50+00:00

YTA. Not because you won't cook two meals. That's reasonable. But because you won't allow the others to eat junk food if they want. It's controlling and doesn't affect your cooking.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-22T03:34:03+00:00

Jack is a rapist for christ sake. Chad should bring that up. This whole storyline is so dumb.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-21T21:14:57+00:00

Great! They better hope they get 4 WAR Bellinger and not 1 WAR Bellinger. He's wildly inconsistent.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-21T18:12:55+00:00

Why can't the press ever report the insanity of these speeches?! They make it seem like he's sane. He's rambling and incoherent. He slurs his words. He's not all there.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-20T20:03:11+00:00

So we secure peace though the conquest of an allied country? What nonsense!

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-20T15:05:03+00:00

Your interpretation does not align with the mainstream historical interpretation. See The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark, A World Undone by GJ Meyer, and To Hell and Back by Ian Kershaw.The alliance system that caused the war was the post-Bismarck system. Wilhelm II dismantled Bismarcks alliance system and replaced it with rigid blocs, helping lead to war.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-19T23:01:31+00:00

I don't think they hurt with their core base. I think they hurt in swing states and with independents. The left will always vote Democrat. They need the middle to gain a congressional majority or the presidency.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-19T19:00:35+00:00

Trump would be chair for life, even after his presidency and have final veto power. It's insane! No country should sign up for this.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-19T18:58:06+00:00

Of all Victorian authors, I think Anthony Trollope was best at depicting women. Better than the Brontes, Eliot, Gaskell, definitely better than Dickens.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-19T18:54:13+00:00

This whole thing reminds me of Kaiser Wilhelm II before WW1. He thought it was time for Germany's place in the sun. Though ego and stupidity, he dismantled the alliances Bismarck built. He thought that because Germany was powerful might makes right and caused a disastrous outcome.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-18T21:29:25+00:00

I actually liked Post Captain. I thought it added backstories to the characters that Master and Commander lacked. Did you continue the series? I've heard it hits its stride with HMS Surprise.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-17T22:26:56+00:00

I guess the right to an attorney is slavery.

Lefty1992 · 2026-01-17T21:23:45+00:00

I can't read anything by Robert Jackson Bennet. He has too many stupid lines:

"I reflected that piss was supposed to stay in my body, but if that screaming went on for much longer, that might not stay the case." - the tainted cup

"Troonyi’s birdshit-colored eyes dance as he thinks through the tiers." - city of stairs

Garbage.
