  1. definition of RINO:
    someone who was considered deeply conservative and an exemplar of Republican ideology last year, but not this year, even though his positions have not changed.

  2. requiring them to disclose who paid for the ad != banning.

  3. as opposed to the current WH occupant, who has had his S on display openly for 70 years, and GOP voters were like "i dunno, lets see what he's got to say".
    proof that lying about a woman for 40+ years can pay off in the end.

    if you go down in pressure, you actually need need to go up in concentration of O2.
    suits may be at a lower pressure, but they are also running at 100% O2.

    reason being the lower pressure makes it more difficult to breath, as you get less of an assist from the differential between lungs and ambient forcing the air into your lungs. absent the increased concentration, astronauts need to work harder to breathe. by increasing the concentration, the astronaut can still get enough O2 while also allowing his diaphragm to not work harder.

    note however that it still takes adjustment, and is uncomfortable, and most astronauts are glad to return inside the ISS (for instance) which is maintained at normal pressure and with a normal concentration of 21% O2 with a Nitrogen balance.

    thus, you (or rather your astronauts) are still going to rather appreciate and prefer returning to a moon base similarly maintained at normal conditions.

    you still don't get that whole "evidence" thing, do you?
    as in, tons of evidence of one thing over here , no evidence over there, yet somehow you want to pretend the two possibilities are equally scientifically probable, or even that the one with no evidence is more likely to be true regardless of the complete lack of evidence supporting it.

    do you not understand what fascism actually is

    I do but apparently you don't, having vastly oversimplified it and left out important bits.

  9. however it is common when a company combined stacked ranking with firing/replacing whomever is in the bottom 10% or so.

    also, how bad that bottom 10% is doesn't really matter in that setup. they get dumped anyway, to scare the people who remain, and pit them against each other so they never organize.

    no that is not the point.
    the point of separate bodies is not stalemate and inaction driven by partisan agenda.
    there is still an expectation of actually governing, of actually doing the job.
    all the gOP did was take their ball and go home and refuse to do anything remotely resembling their job.

  18. polite. but delusional.
    that's not a personal attack.
    it is an observation made based on the content of his post.
    content that is delusional, devoid of fact, disconnected from reality.

  19. this is just your typical textbook example of a conservative interpreting "disagreement, arguing, or counter protesting against racists" as silencing them, misinterpreting the freedom to speak, as either a freedom to be heard or a freedom from criticism, or both.

    besides, what's wrong with making racists and nazis go away and crawl back into their holes?
    they can spew their shit all they want.

    they're just such snowflakes they cant handle the the fact that most people disagree with them, and so they complain, as you are, that they are being "silenced" because they dont understand the actual rights at play.

  20. no.
    you see, you dont understand argument.

    you made the claim.
    you back it up.

    until then, its just unsubstantiated bullshit.

    it wont because republicans believe the government is dysfunctional and broken by default.
    when they elect these ass hats who then proceed to break it, they simply reinforce their preexisting ideology (while totally ignoring that they ar the ones that broke it!).
    meanwhile they simultaneously believe that no matter what happens, they themselves will be ok ("my perimeter is secure", "i can take care of myself", "government doesn't benefit me") whilst ignoring everything government actually does for them.

    the republican party is now completely and totally based on delusion and ignorance of reality.
