The #1 issue facing me right now is that my sister in law is dying. The #1 issue that will face my kids is climate change. The #1 issue that the US...
A good sign. There is a lot of public reaction against conservative attempts to ban abortion and birth control.
The New York attorney general’s office just filed the judgments against Trump in Westchester County, New York. That's significant because Trump has...
You said "Since the choices are so bad." What do you think the choice will be in November? Agreed. Unfortunately, it works. And people will...
Well, except they may look at the economy right now, and the rate that inflation is dropping, and they may want that to continue. An often asked...

If there was ever a thread that should be shut down because it devolved into nothing more than personal attacks and ego-stroking, it's this one.
You're using words you don't understand here. No. Shoemaker-Levy disintegrated due to tidal, not centrifugal, "force." Force is in quotes because...

That's definitely true with trolls. But keep in mind trolls WANT to make you angry and waste your time. If you make voluminous replies to them,...
