I used to think that way when I was a naive 17 year old.

The corruption is pretty obvious now.


So what you're saying is you actually went backwards? Makes sense considering your current level. It's much more comforting to know you used to be a rational human then had a terrible head injury.

Liberals are the ones with faulty amygdalas. We even talked about scientific studies showing it.

Guess you don't remember what we talked about then, because conservatives tend to have hyperactive amygdalas, while liberals tend to have larger frontal lobes. In other words conservative brains are tuned to feel fear, while liberals to think critically.

Conservative minds read emotional motives to discern intent. Liberals automatically assume everyone thinks like them and put themselves in dangerous situations.

I doubt liberals have larger prefrontal too. If it was true, their average income wouldn't be so much lower than conservatives.

You made a lot of claims here that are just contrary to the literature I'm afraid. Gonna have to ask you for sources because unlike you I'm actually familiar with the literature. If you want to see mine I linked several when I made a thread about it. You can just search back.

Nobody is going to take 300 million guns or attempt to

Trump is manipulating dumb and armed supporters that are already angry to believe that the system is corrupt and the election will be stolen and their beloved guns are at risk


if you want to talk about a real allusion to assassinations

Well I don't know, maybe if it was happening the person would be doing that in addition, who knows, but the inconclusiveness on the income is something that I'd find interesting in the event someone was trying to assume my identity. My career is not the well-defined type like teacher, doctor, lawyer, police, where people could just do 15 minutes of googling to figure out salaries across the country, or especially what all is involved in earning them.

There are people who work in my field who wouldn't even be able to venture a guess as to what I earn in a year, I find that interesting as far as fields of work go.


Just to be clear, no one is impersonating you on match.com as far as i know.

I figured your income was variable based on who wins and loses on the campaigns you work on. That's one field doing it right, criminal trial lawyers should join that trend.

I enjoy the morning after Trump says something ridiculous

otherwise known as every morning

all of his surrogates "liberal media!! out of context!! overblown!! was a joke!! HILLARY CLINTON!!!"

Peter king saying Trump just off the cuff and nothing to worry about then goes on to bitch about the democratic convention

I do not envy these jokers that have to get up every morning and act dumb for a living to defend a guy like Trump

It's exactly what happened in the primary. Trump says something crazy, media covers it for a couple days, Trump says something crazy again, media covers that for a couple days, etc etc. It worked for him in a Republican primary, but fortunately 30-40% of Republican primary voters don't decide the presidential election.
