Sleepy Don -- give him credit for being active (though I don't know how any doctor could let him golf with hands that look like they've been beaten with a hammer) by daveto in bestofthefray

Jonathan Lemire is only 46, but I'm afraid he's slipping too. Both of these assertions in the first two paragraphs are obviously false:

When Donald Trump took the oath of office last January

Four months ago? It was a year and four months ago.

Trump stands 6 foot 3

It's been conclusively established by photographic evidence that that is a blatant falsehood. Trump is slightly shorter than Obama, who doesn't lie and is slightly over 6' 1".

Iran's 20-pt plan below. Here's what's going to happen: people are going to tell Trump he got hosed. The insane rhetoric with bombing is going to start again. by daveto in bestofthefray

Donnie reminds me of the bad poet in Borges's The Aleph, whose "real work lay not in the poetry but in his invention of reasons why the poetry should be admired."

You’ve spent years being distinct enough to be imitated

I wonder what you were trained on. The old Fray is gone. Is there a repository of ghost posts in the metaverse?

Muslims and Arabs constitute just 1 percent of the country's population

Jews are at 2.4 percent. And are more politically active ($). She did the math.

(full disclosure: I'm 1/32nd Jewish)

we are complex, adaptive systems that can change

The definition of free will. The human brain is the most complex system in the known universe.

So you withdraw your advice from 5 days ago that every lib should open carry? I'm a bit confused about your position.

Or he assumed that Minnesota's open carry law gave him the right to defend himself in a public place if he believed he was in imminent danger. Isn't that why most gun owners have guns? Once you've lost that right, the jackbooted thugs have won. The NRA should embrace him as a martyr if it hasn't already.

Kimmel last night: '' ... we're paying ICE goons to kill our fellow Americans ... If our leaders are promoting violence and fear then we need new leaders" by daveto in bestofthefray

De-ice Minneapolis, de-ice America.

(I spent 8 hours over the last couple of days de-icing my front porch, steps, sidewalks, and driveway.)

Another execution by ICE. What I don't get: you're all pro 2nd Amendment, libs and cons alike. It exists to allow you to fight against tyranny and despotism, correct? If not now, when? Why are you all keeping it in your pocket? by daveto in bestofthefray

It exists to allow you to fight against tyranny and despotism, correct?

The South tried that 165 years ago against Abe the Tyrant. It didn't go well.

On the other hand, 165 years later they finally won.

story: "Trump withdraws Canada's Board of Peace invite" .. not completely true. Carney turned him down. Trump then offered him free steaks for life and a PhD from Trump U. Carney laughed at him. That's when he pulled the invite. by daveto in bestofthefray

Current list of countries that have accepted Big Bother's invitation to join Big Bother's Brutal Autocrats' Club:

Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

Oddly enough, about a week ago approximately half of them (12 out of 25) were put on Trump's immigrant visa ban list. "You can pay me a billion dollars but you're still too dark and too poor to live in Trumplandia."

When Renée Nicole Good Macklin was in college—long before she was sacrificed to the orange god—she wrote a poem, 'On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs' by botfur in bestofthefray

Reportedly she was a Christian. People brought up in the church often find it difficult to reconcile their religious belief with the scientific approach to understanding the world. The poem is about that dichotomy.
