    There is no substantial 'radical left' in America

    So, those "antifa" assholes don't exist? How about the Bernie Bro who opened fire on the Republicans' baseball practice? Or whoever mailed the envelope of ricin to General Mattis?

    Why do you even bother to lie about something so obvious?

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. --H. L. Mencken.

  7. Re:Why is this an issue? on Google To Launch Censored Search In China Despite Denials (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    China is a colonial empire that viciously oppresses subject populations in Tibet, Xinjiang, and other places, not to mention practicing routine censorship, imprisonment, and even murder of Han Chinese dissenters. The argument you're advancing is the same one made about the Nazis, and the Soviet Union. Google is aiding and abetting tyranny, and we have every right to despise them for it. If you have an issue with that, I heartily invite you to go fuck yourself.

    the problem is the energy cost of getting a car in the air in the first place.

    Wrong.

    An air car will save energy compared to a ground car because 1) it can go point-to-point, 2) ground cars have to be built to survive impact, air cars will be built to avoid impact, and 3) the high energy use only applies to the very beginning and end of the flight.

    The sad thing is that there's plenty of reasons to keep him off the court, but since the Democrats were so fully complicit in Bush's usurpations in the aftermath of 9/11, this is the only thing they can use to try to scuttle him without taking themselves down, too.
