Wrong - Jerry Springer and the fake American Rupert Murdoch's Fox News fed the freak show - fear-tainment axis.

In systems change, one indicator of success is when the system fights back.

Jeez, I "wonder" where Farage's funding comes from... 🤔

In other words, a well thought out campaign move.

Thoughts and prayers?

What do you mean, "tried?"

Jeez, what could be the underlying reason for these changes? Hmm...

I can't speak to campus culture, but I do agree that in general the polarization that is the result of social media and those whose interests are power has led to a general decline in "how to think" skills.

Interesting to see this as a recurring theme on the extreme right.

If this were true, they would have surely reached out to other federal judges who were appointed by Dems in an aim to build a bipartisan effort.

Did they?

What's funny is that the choices are always given such that it seems that every day people will either pay more or have benefits cut - when there is the choice of getting rid of the salary cap on the tax and have those earning 200k, 500k, 2 million a year pay more.

Based on what?

The Washington Post participates in the maintenance of Republican talking points. Imagine if venture capitalists decided to invest in nothing because they lost money in one incubator effort.

"It may seem counterintuitive that the human brain is so susceptible to the opinions of others that it is willing to disregard its own visual inputs, but viewed from a statistical perspective, this biological capitulation makes perfect sense." – Gregory Berns in the book "Iconoclast"

Ask not for whom the bell tolls...

Perhaps we should start with those states whose population pays less in Federal taxes than they receive in Federal dollars?

I would only say - FU NYT - you can find what you want out there. Finding people who thought this was a sprint and have burned out does not mean you have found "the Resistance" Why print your demoralizing headline?

Dear BBC - your huge banner coverage of this random belief of the moment by this known fraudster is seriously irresponsible. Who cares what he says today? We know that he would say the exact opposite tomorrow if he thought it benefited him.
