    Epstein and Trump

    That isn't a pardon, it just means she won't be prosecuted for any crimes she might have talked about during the interview.Honestly, I think any deal they make could be perilous, b/c let's say she points the figure at a few people and the DOJ goes after them. The defense attorney's should be...

    Epstein and Trump

    I doubt it... this administration doesn't have any shame, and they'll just sit on it. They'll give Maxwell a pardon in exchange for burning a few people (but not Trump), and that'll be enough to get his base off his back.

    Epstein and Trump

    People really need to prepare themselves for nothing coming out of this. My guess is there is no actual evidence in the Epstein files (i think if there was something solid, we'd have seen more investigations and prosecutions already). What's there instead is stuff that would make all of us...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    According to his lawyer, the deportation order was withheld in 2007 and he was allowed to legally remain and work in the US.

    Epstein and Trump

    Yeah, I think that's all probably true, but man, I know information bubbles are strong, but you'd have to really twist yourself in knots to think that Trump was the right person for that issue.

    Epstein and Trump

    I find some of the hard core MAGA's reaction to this perplexing. I had assumed they'd just brush it aside like everything else -- I mean we already know Trump hung out with Epstein. We've already seen his name on the fight logs. We already know that Epstein had considered Trump a friend. Trump...

    Epstein and Trump

    I also assume it's a fake... seems on brand from him though (Gaetz).

    The trade and economy mega-thread

    It depends on the elasticity of the demand curve for the product. The more inelastici it is, the more prices will rise.The main thing to be aware of is tariffs are a sales tax that the importer pays. The downstream ramifications are complex, but it's a tax that the importer pays, and they will...

    US/Israel and Iran-

    Woah... that's out of line bub... Ranged fighters are a perfectly useful part of a healthy D&D party.

    All Things LGBTQ+

    This really is devastating to transgender children and their families. This is nothing more than naked aggression against kids based on the political class' own discomfort. I feel so freaking sad for people who are going to be left without resources in a state that hates them

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    Maybe if they didn't have to subsidize other states and could keep their money local, they could pay down that debt .. :)

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    Yes, this is the sort of thing that helps frame the discussion in what the explicit costs are.

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    That was the bipartisan bill proposed in 2024, that was shot down by Trump. At this point, I think the solution is to start talking about the issue honestly. It's not about law and order. So, let's define the risks and costs and benefits, and get a common understanding of that.

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    The point is, just saying something is a crime is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to justify spending billions of dollars, suspending rights -- or really getting people all worked up over it.What people who are obsessed over this issue have failed to do, is the hard work of...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    All this wouldn't bThe problem is that this is being carried out by someone convicted of 34 felonies and pardoned people who beat up cops. Obviously this isn’t about some noble intention to uphold the law.Try substituting jaywalkers for illegal immigrants. Jaywalking is a crime. There’s a...

    No Kings

    I think the main point and hopefully benefit of these protests and demonstrations is to remind the political powers that there are a LOT of people who are not happy with the way things are going, and will not go along with anything that feels like further aggregation of political power into the...
