I have distant memories of my father running into my room and scooping me up. We ran to the living room. My heart was beating fast. I could tell something was not normal. My dad never behaved like that.
It was a small black and white tv. There was something on the moon.
@Rothmus
Ummm, "I robot" was media. If Tesla had written a book then THAT would be plagiarism.
Tesla went and built this stuff IRL. That is not plagiarism. It isn't even copyright infringement or intellectual theft since the creator of "I robot" has no idea how to make this stuff.

Edited to hide the fact that the topic was American industry (cars) taking a blood bath to Chinese cars made in Mexico.
This is how easy it is to mislead people. What else have you been misled about?
@AngelaBelcamino
I see an odd need for public/social media validation due, in all likelihood, to a deep Sense of emptiness that you can't put your finger on.

Please tell them that since it is the people at the rally who are, in part, paying off their loan she should go to the rally either to say thank you or to rub it in their faces. Her choice but she owes them at least that much because taking their money and not giving them the
@ScottAdamsSays
He seemed honestly surprised by Megyn's statement that no cops died on Jan 6th.
He has the usual blackout areas of denial typical of an emotional commitment. Walk a conversation up to the edge of an emotional truth and you will see the person shut down suddenly to avoid facts.
@JamesSurowiecki
So if all the swing states switch from Harris to Trump over night and on the 6th Trump is declared the winner you won't have any doubts right?

@mtaibbi
I think Taibbi expected hard ball questions.
What he probably did not expect was for the democrats to drop the ball on the mound, kick it into dugout, and scream "CHECKMATE"!
@seanonolennon
They have to act surprised. To not be "surprised" is to admit they were knowingly supporting a false narrative. They portray themselves as journalists and that they are not biased.
So... Surprise!

Me: It's a dwarf what?
Scientists: Planet.
Me: That's what I thought you said. So let's talk some basic English and I'd like to introduce you to nouns and adjectives. Afterwards you can tell me more about the ninth planet.

@BillAckman
I do believe Mr Ackman knows this already. His details are legally relevant to a lawsuit (future) and contain specifics about limiting damages and liability on his part and not doing so on theirs.
He is expecting this will head to court. He is crossing his t's and dotting his
@BeschlossDC
A king that can be prosecuted for crimes outside the outer perimeter of the job. That can be unelected by the public. That can be impeached. That can't serve a third term.
Sotomayor is being disingenuous.
@simonateba
Accountability. The price for bringing a case against the opposition frontrunner, should the case fail, should be prosecution for election interference.

@TheFP
Not yet.
The old saying: Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times.
More hard times ahead. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Not that bad for Trump. Fani will never walk away from this to save any integrity she thinks still exists in this case. She and the case are a walking talking get out the vote commercial for Trump.

Retired law enforcement. With a high profile case, every t gets crossed and every i gets dotted. Everything gets photographed and there is video also. At. Every. Stage.
The notion that this would be anything except an A-team project is insane.

@MrAndyNgo
The NAZI party was not all of the German people truly. But we fought the German people to remove the NAZIs. It is not reasonable to support Palestinians who voted for, or tolerated, Hamas.
It is too late for half measures.
@GadSaad
"Proportional" is a term used in the law of armed conflict. Put simply it means remove the threat. Don't use more carnage than necessary.
It should be noted that the death of innocents in the way of a legitimate military target is allowed so long as the target is sufficiently
@GadSaad
@elonmusk
I'm no expert but I think the over simplification isn't a result of imbecility exactly. Rather, people who emotionally need to believe their current world view intentionally do this in order to dismiss actual analysis when exposed to opposition.
@BitPaine
So if he were a pilot and he says if the airlines don't double his pay he is flying the plane out to sea... Would that be blackmail?
Asking for a friend.
@donwinslow
Well. When left leaning groups such as BLM, ANTIFA and others destroy statues of the founding fathers and replace or burn the flag, well, that happens.
@rshereme
Less aid ends the war. More aid ends the war. But if you give exactly the right amount there will be an endless war with endless tax dollars flowing to military manufacturers who will donate some of that money back to the politicians who have made the endless war possible.

@vivarioarriba
Hours of law enforcement manpower were used to remove 5ish Long guns from circulation that were almost certainly not involved in any crimes.
awesome...
@robert_zubrin
There is a dividing line. SpaceX is on one side. Blue Origin and ULA are announcing they are on the other side. The side SpaceX is on represents innovation, exploration, and the advancement of humanity.
The other side represents none of these regardless of their claims.
@ScottAdamsSays
So, as retired law enforcement, yes we do cut surveillance if we can for the purpose of officer safety.
Context is very important here. If we are at a drug house and the cameras will show the location and progress of the team clearing and securing the property then yes, cut
@CollinRugg
Bradley was a witness. Calling a witness who is going to testify and telling them not to answer questions...
Suborning perjury.
Tampering with a witness.
These are crimes right? They feel like crimes. I think they're crimes.
@mattyglesias
Did they decide to charge him for drug possession, distributing drugs, prostitution, tax evasion, extortion, money laundering and criminal sexual contact of a minor after all??
@jurgen_nauditt
Finally. This is the obvious and unavoidable result of ignoring 1994.
It is also an obvious result of the "don't strike Russia in Russian territory" policy which absurdly was supposed to prevent escalation.
Alrighty then...
@GenMhayden
No. We who have served in law enforcement have seen it all. We have seen criminals big and small, the desperate and the addicted, the mentally ill and the evil.
We've indicted thousands and buried our brothers.
We know the law and we know politics.
Trump's trial was a joke.
@XVanFleet
Communism exists only in the minds of communists. In reality a failed democracy or republic does not evolve to communism, it devolves into despotism.
@wil_da_beast630
A brief, very brief, read into some of the details sounds like it was a very strong case even without the DNA. The prosecutor was correct to back it off of the death penalty due to the DNA handling issues however.
He was a career criminal and a burglar. The murder scene was

@charliekirk11
Trump won't win November because he convinced large numbers of Dems to vote for him from the debate. He will win if he gets his base to vote in record numbers. How do you motivate the Trump base you ask?
By treating him unfairly...
@SirBylHolte
When you verbally arrive at the edge of the... bubble of belief?... they get emotional. The same thing happened when Megyn Kelly walked Bill Maher up to the edge of "the insurrection" narrative. He shut down.

Laws are laws. If you don't like them lobby to have them changed. One law was broken. An adult committed a battery against a child. That is a felony. 4th degree to be specific.
@JohnStossel
So, to be a little pedantic, the executive branch doesn't set the spending. Blame Congress. Blame Biden for not vetoing sure. But inflation really sits at the foot of the legislature.

It was never "Colonization is bad, what shall we replace all of this with"?
It was always "Marxism is good, why shall we remove the current system"?

@SirBylHolte
The rich pay most of the taxes. Still you have a point. Both sides of the isle have been overspending for decades. The debt is the one true immediate existential threat to this country.
The government can't afford to hand out money it doesn't have.
@wil_da_beast630
Consider it might just be a matter of principle. Democrats are pulling fast ones to get rid of Trump. Even if a switch to DeSantis is organic it would send the message that lawfare works.
We need to nip this and no other way than Trump 47 does that with clarity.
@tedcruz
I'm a retired cop. In all my years in law enforcement giving depositions for criminal investigations, lawsuits, and before over site committees...
Guess how many times I had to plead the fifth.
Hint: a number less than one.
