Here's a wild thought, though: what if trump has to drop out if his poll numbers start to plummet due to stuff like this, and then the republicans choose RFK Jr?

"You have it all wrong, don't let his 4D chess fool you. He's like Columbo, he just pretends to be a bumbling idiot to throw you off guard."

Not entirely false. Part of his schtick has always been to lower the bar of expectations so he can step over it.

The split screen images of different groups of people reacting to the verdict when it was announced are still vivid in my mind.

I remember Charles Grodin making angry comments about it on his TV talk show, and then later his mealy mouthed apology to all the black people he offended.

The similarities between OJ and the Donald go well beyond the word orange.

"Let's talk about AZ, 1864, and Biden...."

I thought Biden was in PA in 1864.

Kevin!

Whoa!

I thought they went out of business years ago.

"Don't even need to open the thread."

And yet, here you are.

You have always been here, as a famous Ambassador once said.

Or euthanasia.

Too soon?

Could this be WWIII?

America is such a violent place.

In Mother Russia, you don't get assisted suicide, assisted suicide get you.

This will make it even easier for them.

We can also use this procedure to reduce the number of partisans, since we know partisans are inherently unhappy and depressed whenever the Other Party gets into power. Yay for moderates!

"He's really going to have to kick it up a notch if he wants to get some of that free outrage press he craves. "

He seems to be doing just fine with the free outrage press here.

By the way, does anyone have the ticker for the exact count of how many lies this politician has told?

Just think of all the possibilities to make a better society. Problem children who refuse to conform and aren't gonna get any better could be separated before they experience or cause too much suffering. Elderly and diseased people could be put out to pasture, to maximize happiness for all. Other people who have behavioral problems but don't respond to corrective therapy can be educated on the optimal solution. No one should ever question their choices nor the professionals who help them realize what they really want.

Both parties' bases have been infected with foreign propaganda for a long time. Who do you think is behind the Palestinian propaganda?

In an ideal world, whole families would have the option to be euthanized together.

If the fetus is already dead inside, then Republicans should no problem euthanizing the parent. If someone is grieving the loss of a loved one, no one should ever question their choices.

"We currently don't have an anti-trans thread running, why not start another one of those?"

We could have a fun parallel argument here. Some people identify as dead inside, so why not make it routine to have our health care systems affirm that identity?

WCPGW?

"Nothing can be done. Thoughts and prayers."

I really like the "it's a personal choice that should be respected, and that's all that should be said" argument.

'1984 was an instruction manual, not a warning.' - George Orwell

"Voluntary or involuntary"

We're already seeing it creep from one to the other. A person who is clearly not of sound mind, whose health care provider doesn't want to waste any more resources on, has basically been told to FOAD.

I wonder how many people are even aware of the etymology of the word gymnasium?

*sigh*

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

It's also a great way to get rid of undesirables.
