That is an amazingly dumb argument. He's holding up an article containing new confirming evidence about human evolution as proof that the theory of evolution can change, since it's based on evidence. Therefore, teach every theory!

I'm sure no article about that fossil find stated there's now a new theory because of it. Yet he thinks there must be. Leave the science to the smart people, dude.

the way he says "I guess the textbooks will need to be changed"at 2:17 is every "ya ever think about THAT, mr science guy!" idiot in microcosm.

idk so,etimes it helps to have a voice of reason saying that no, this single case isn't enough of a change to modify textbooks but some studies and articles will be updated, sure

From what I understand, Jefferson and Franklin compromised with Adams by using "Creator" instead of "God" when all they really wanted to do was strike that presumption altogether.

Donald J. Trump’s support has plunged across the swing-state map over the last 10 days, wiping out his political recovery from September and threatening to undo weeks of Republican gains in the battle for control of Congress.

For his party, Mr. Trump’s reversal in fortune comes at the worst possible moment: Having muted their criticism of Mr. Trump in hopes that he could at least run competitively through Election Day, Republicans must decide in the next few days, rather than weeks, whether to seek distance from his wobbly campaign.

Should Mr. Trump falter badly in his second debate with Hillary Clinton on Sunday in St. Louis, Republican congressional candidates may take it as a cue to flee openly from their nominee, said two senior Republicans involved at high levels of the campaign who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss private party strategy.

Mr. Trump has already slipped perceptibly in public polls, trailing widely this week in Pennsylvania and by smaller margins in Florida and North Carolina — three states he cannot afford to lose. But private polling by both parties shows an even more precipitous drop, especially among independent voters, moderate Republicans and women, according to a dozen strategists from both parties who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the data was confidential.

The most amazing thing about 'deplorables' still is how many people decided to make it a term of pride. Which I'm all "Hey, great job on owning yourself."

That doesn't seem so surprising to me - common folk don't "deplore", it's like sarcastically referring to yourselves as 'proles'.

I've made the foolish mistake of occasionally commenting on the election campaign on Twitter of late and have found myself being hounded by idiots and liars who all have the word "deplorable" in their Twitter names.

even taken out of context, this seems p obviously to be trump clowning himself (or his "friend," who was "killed") for saying it ~wrong~

they keep saying this but I think the time to make that decision is well past

Anyone see this? https://guccifer2.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/clinton-foundation/

First glance is a big "whatever" from me.

It looks like big banks and corporations agreed to donate to the Democrats a certain percentage of the allocated TARP funds.

This seems like a big leap in logic from the accompanying screencap of the spreadsheet

really curious what's gonna happen on Sunday. Trump's getting desperate and might completely tone himself down. and of course Clinton will do everything she can to needle him.

If he does tone down I hope Hil's got an alternate plan for how to make use of the debate time

Robby Mook (stevie), Thursday, 6 October 2016 14:53 (seven years ago) link

gotta hand it to Trump, he probably does have some very good people on staff in that they have to do their own jobs in addition to acting like they're doing as he says and making him think any changes were his idea if he starts to catch on

As has been hammered home time and time and time again, despite many people's erroneous assumptions that he operates like an adult human being who learns from his mistakes and is able to rein in his worst impulses at least for the sake of his own self-interest if for no other reason, Trump is constitutionally incapable of toning it down for any longer than it takes for someone to wound his amazingly fragile ego. Clinton so has his number.

there's generally a pattern to this, when Trump is doing alright in the polls he really lets loose, but when he's down he tries to reign it in a bit

I want to go to the town hall and lead a question with some very sympathetic words about his brother who died in 1981, and then after I get him nodding kind of slip in, "So, do you think maybe the wrong brother died?"
