They can make any claims. What recourse is there when you realize 20 or 50 years later that you were scammed?

Because his job is to sell whatever crazy thing Trump does.

What would they even rule against, at this point?

They did that to me in 1980. Get your shit together.

Other than racism, they don’t care about issues. They are a cult of Trump. They get excited about β€œissues” that help Trump. There might be the occasional person who accidentally cares about an issue like pedophilia, but the rest will just pivot to a new or old issue that focuses on their enemies.

It’s not permanent, because if a Dem President does it in the future they will rule the opposite.

No way they’ll let it go more than a few more weeks.

Major media ignore ties connecting Bush to Unification church These are stories from past, or back, issues of the National Catholic Reporter, the NCR.

I recall that George Bush 1 went to one of those?

In the beginning they were all believers. Now the whole thing is too big to fail. β€œDon’t Stop Believing,” as the song goes.

The End of the Magic Gene Era When I was in high school in the 1970’s, our science classes were filled with optimism about the burgeoning field of genetics and how it would provide answers to biological mysteries.

Let’s all say goodbye to the magic gene era:

The field of β€œpsychiatric genetics” has shrunk from grandiose claims to almost nothing over the past 30 years, and proponents say it’s just a flesh wound. It’s a house of cards. And the sooner it collapses, the better.

Cowardly resignation from a man who deserves nothing he ever gets handed to him. Spit it out Larry.

At least half of them will be calling it the Epstein hoax within a couple of weeks.

The whole genes for… (pick your trait) has been a half century failure. There are not genes for psychiatric disorders or personality traits.

The guy spent most of his career beating the drum for genetic causes for schizophrenia and other disorders. I would describe that as empty metaphorical brain talk that, if it predated him, he did much to propagate. I’m not interested in his reinvention of his legacy.

This is the pot calling the kettle black. Kendler helped create the environment he is critiquing.

I think I’ve watched it enough times myself to put it past β€œsleeper.”

The fact that it engendered conversation and debate about whether it was bad journalism proves that it was good journalism.

They were quite clearly saying they would deport everyone. Trump’s supporters can’t get enough of alligator concentration camps. Rogan is posing.
