Maybe it is all innocent (???), but shouldn't it get a little more play time that it has, and are we not at all concerned that the media has taken a side on this? — Hanover

Trump has certainly not been establishment. Was that a good thing? — Relativist

He seems like a decent, if imperfect, man. I can't see how anyone could put him into the same category as Trump. — Relativist

Isn't it interesting how popular it is to call Trump stupid. And yet he is President, and we are not. And he is rich, and we are not. And he totally dominates all forms of media almost minute by minute, and nobody gives the slightest shit what we have to say.

And he beat every Republican, and every Democrat, all the professional politicians, all the talking heads, all the expert insiders. All of them.

A world class asshole, yes, totally agree there. But not stupid. — Hippyhead

This story is getting crazier. Looks like “the big guy” has some explaining to do. — Literally every news story for the past 4 years

OK, I just watched it a couple more times and it's less clear to me that he was joking. Hard to say with this guy. — Erik

You can still calculate invariant quantities for photons even if you cannot construct a rest frame for them. The proper time is an example. — Kenosha Kid

Literally the same in fact. The reason why you cannot have a rest frame for the speed c is that the transforms from other frames are inversely proportional to the square root of (1 - v/c). When v = c, you get 1/0. — Kenosha Kid

The notion of duration and distance is meaningless for a photon, yes. While you can't choose a reference frame with a velocity of c, you can see that the proper duration of a photon is zero by taking the limit v->c. — Kenosha Kid

Yes, but also the concepts of duration and distance. — Kenosha Kid

Because of the distortion of space and time relative to motion, from the frame of reference of any given photon, the distance that it travels between whatever emitted it and your eye is zero, and the journey takes no time at all; from the photon's perspective, it exists only at a point and only for an instant,the whole of its being constituted entirely by the interaction between whatever emitted it and your eye. — Pfhorrest

Okay... So all elementary behaviours are then creation and annihilation events that, in the frame of reference of the thing being created and annihilated, take no time and traverse no space. I'd go with that. — Kenosha Kid

Don't count him out just yet. What I see on your map representing Arizona is inaccurate as far as I can tell. There are a sea of Trump flags down the street but then again, as I have expressed in the past, we take our rights seriously and Beto O'rourke is what keeps people around here awake at night.
There might be a shred of truth to the silent supporters that will rise up on election day. — ArguingWAristotleTiff

2. The Republicans nominate a younger more dynamic stand-in for the trumpees — magritte

People like Trump and his supporters who deny this reality are the new flat earthers. — Punshhh

The US is influential by virtue if its military, it's economy, and it's culture.The US has no special influence over CO2 production. — frank

Meanwhile China has committed to becoming CO2 neutral by 2060. However repelled we may be by dictatorship, we have to admit that in the face of climate change, it works better. — frank

The reason we should drop talk of "doom" is that it isn't based on science. When that's the primary message coming from climate change acceptors, it undermines their cause. The climate is changing. We will change with it. — frank

The US puts out less than 20% of total human generated CO2, so we aren't in control of that. Nobody is. — frank

...in some private capacity where he can't create problems for anyone else ever again. — Pfhorrest

Holy shit Trump tested positive for covid let's goooooooooooooo — Maw

This makes me think Trump isn't really trying to get more people to vote for him as much as he is just trying to stop people from voting in general. Make things as uncertain and chaotic as possible so enough people get paralyzed and don't vote. — darthbarracuda

But it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, only who garners more support. — darthbarracuda

In review, [Project Veritas]'s videos are edited in a way that makes them difficult to fact check. Often his information is debunked, but it is too late as the information has already been watched by thousands or more. In general, the narrative created by [Project Veritas], whether edited or not is to portray liberals in a negative light.

She's apparently had remarkably little judicial experience (all of it in appeals court), and practiced law for a scant three years. She's an academic who spent sometime clerking before being appointed to the 7th Circuit in 2017. I prefer that Supreme Court Justices have more experience of how the law actually works, and it's impact on actual people. — Ciceronianus the White

Conservatives are at their heart believers in law and order. I understand the left's position that the right's concept of law and order amounts to suppression of certain groups, but the point remains that a conservative is committed to protecting the status quo and the existing institutions. For that reason, the fear that there will be a conservative rebellion in any literal sense is unfounded. Those criticisms are better levied against the left and is evidenced by the fact that is the left that speaks of radical rule change (elimination of the electoral college, increasing the size of the Supreme Court, and defunding the police) and who literally takes to the streets with riots, looting, and violence. — Hanover

The right is not collecting their guns and building their fences in preparation of an offensive attack but they are holing up in anticipation of defending themselves from the zombie apocalypse they fear will make it out to the suburbs and countryside where they reside. — Hanover

Get rid of the ballots and there'll be a peaceful … it won't be a transfer frankly it will be a continuation. — Trump
