Truth never appears as a goal, but factual does. Selective facts that make both political sides look equivalent is not truth. Nothing about freedom of the press or strong investigative journalism. She can resign now as the best next step.

So the reporter followed up and asked for arrest records and criminal convictions? No?

Great at talking, disappeared and not interested in leading. Her role is now commentator.

You are using your anger and frustration to intimidate others from discussing legitimate points. If that is your aim, fine, but you could just stop discussing. I'm happy to move on.

I think that's a point: There were some aspects of socialism they adopted, particularly prior to 1934, but many they did not. Does that mean they deserved a flat label of socialist? What does that mean politically?

Does that state control mean socialism? That's the point. How does it meet the definition of socialism? There's plenty of historians who argue that it doesn't. Your first point was that "socialist" was in the name, therefore they were socialist. History argues that was a political ploy.

I'm not sure you are in the mood to continue this discussion. Much depends on who owns the means of production and distribution, beyond planning. Nazis re-privatized many state-owned enterprises and implemented a system of intense state control, we agree.

Why so angry? All of us studied this for years.

Maybe you want to consider taking this down since it is so very ignorant of important history and totally misleading.

Fighting back by voting with unanimous consent to celebrate a hate-monger. What did you get in return? Nothing? Actions speak louder that words.

Yeah, when they come calling for money for any sitting Dem Senator, I'll be explaining why I am not donating. Raskin said voting against this was a trap. They made it a political game instead of standing for principles and values.

Both are equally horrible. It's not a contest or either/or. Taking one person off the air, when that one person reaches millions, and is speaking truth to power, is intimidation and chilling to free speech. Deporting without free speech is a violation of civil rights and not constitutional.

I'm not sure that there is any value to showcasing any performance by Sen. Murkowski. What she asks for political theater, and how she votes on those same issues, are two entirely different things. Showcasing her makes her constituents think she's doing something.

I didn't know it was the responsibility of a bike race, with teams that do not represent governments, to police world politics. Nor would such a statement have stopped the protests. But that is where we are. The cyclists were not protected enough. I'd be surprised if there's ever another Vuelta.

This is so true. Facebook groups are trying to answers SS questions. I saw someone copy an AI answer that suggested file and suspend, which was ended. At least 1/3 of the answers are wrong. Folks saying 3 calls on a question will get 3 different answers because SS doesn’t know. It’s a huge mess.
