It's fairly handy to have someone seemingly earnestly trot out les memes du jour, especially since this is a mostly left-leaning forum.

As sad as this might sound, Nos is pretty much representative of the bleeding edge of republican rhetoric. Whatever he deploys here is exactly the kind of thing that we are likely to see republican echo chambers reflect.

Like you said, lowest hanging fruit. — NOS4A2
This fundamentally misunderstands NOS and far right-wingers in general! — Maw
Thereby ends the greatest presidency ever. — NOS4A2
It took a real and concerted effort to turn the election around. It was done with cunning, with fraud, and with brute-force cheating — god must be atheist
Yes, it might have been just an accident. The police officer could have been attempting to head the fire extinguisher thinking it was a soccer ball. I'm going with presuming the most likely scenario. — Baden
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
