Without a right of center moderator (not to be conflated with the lefty censors on this forum) you guys quickly devolve into an intellectually incestuous circle jerk.

Well I for one am glad you’ve come back to interrupt it by dropping any pretence that you were ever a critical thinker, and instead are fully part of the conspiracy theorist MAGA cult groupthink bubble.

Its nice to see you openly embrace your true self after all this time.

Jakee…you are hilarious! You’re so much smarter than everybody. I’m glad the world has you around. I just don’t know what we’d do otherwise.

"intellectually incestuous circle jerk" - how conservatives see science, modern medicine, and the study of history.  They prefer to be free and independent thinkers, unfettered by the chains of education, research, collaboration or review. 

If they see a video on their phone while they are pooping - why, that's "doing their own research", and they are now qualified to give advice on when to vaccinate your child!

Great.  So you admit you do not support free speech either, and want to censor my opinions.

Dude I thought I lost you... Wow the Words unsaid.

 The biography you did on the electronics engineer was A+.Albeit the last sentence's need of edit.  Bravo Sir. 

I would never want to censor your opinions, besides what fun would be in that?lol An edit on the other hand,I'll fix it for you.

Hi Wendy thanks for your opinion. What would you know of Propaganda? I heard it described as Russian collusion. Perhaps Robert can tell us what to think.

Hi Bill,

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who thinks Trump cares about anyone other than himself is a total fool.

Barnum was right.

Hi dogyks,

Sorry, but it was Barnum who said it first; not Falwell.

It's a paraphrase of Barnum.  Don't make me explain it again.

Hi dogyks [ & John K ],

Well, I've tried & tried to find a source that P T said if first, and cannot.  -> My bad

The most of the sources that I have found are similar to:  The phrase is usually attributed to American showman P.T. Barnum.

Then I found this:  

Whether Barnum actually used either of these expressions is controversial.

Rochester Institute of Technology professor Nicholas DiFonzo described in his 2008 book The Watercooler Effect, that Barnum’s biography could not verify this attribution at all. Rather, it was likely that a banker named David Hannum from Syracuse, New York who actually said it.

I'll try to remember that.

Given that he cannot even spell his name other than bass-ackwards, it makes sense.

What do facts have to do with anything if you're MAGA?

I don’t know much about US gun laws. I just found it amusing that the phrasing so closely matched the panicked accusations against others

So that is the bullshit. If the Dems suggest it; the right is "They're coming for our GUNS!!" If the right does it . . . Hmmm, maybe we oughta look at it. I lean more to the Independent party each friggin day.

Trump releases AI video of himself perving on transgender belly dancers. Always the same with Republicans - the thing they complain about the loudest is the thing they're really doing.

So it's possible the peeing hooker videos from Russia with love are little league compared to what FOTUS actually wants to do.

Not surprised.

They've got him by the short hairs, obviously. Russia is on the ropes in Ukraine. The only way they escape is if the US throws Ukraine under the bus. In fact it's so obvious that it defies sensibilities that our pols cannot see it. Hopefully, after we're gone, and should be, the next round of DaVinci's and Newton's will prevail.

Sarah Paine's assessment of Ukraine is well considered. 

Putin's goal is the maintenance of power, period.  Going into Ukraine, he had no Plan B.

Throwing Sun Tzu into the mix, at least the illusion of an out is critical and having nukes involved makes it even moreso.

Thus, if Captain Chaos can roil the waters such that Putin appears to have a 'win,' a Kewpie doll to account for all that has been squandered, that might be the least awful outcome for the time being.
