    Defunding The Police

    One of the great truisms we are facing is that you don't have to be in any tribe to have things in common. For example, even though I am unabashadly Progressive, my ideas are shared by a plethora of hard-core Republicans, evangelicals, and MOR folks. We can all tell the difference between...

    Splash Mountain to be reimagined to The Princess and the Frog with Princess Tiana and Louis theme

    I have no problem with re-theming Splash Mountain, but a mountain ride for New Orleans will feel like a copout. PaTF was amazing animation, the last of its kind, and it deserves better treatment.

    Defunding The Police

    Pardon me, I meant 'nobody cared' in The White House. Clearly you and others care. If they wanted to investigate, they didn't have to ask a foreign government clandestinely to announce an investigation, they could have launched an investigation themselves and announced it. In fact, if they had...

    Defunding The Police

    You make some good points, but I don't agree with your punctuation. When you use that wording, you make it seem as if it is oh-so-simple and innocent, but I think the Ukraine situation is horrific. He was not doing an investigation. He was asking for political assistance from a foreign...

    Defunding The Police

    The WHO defunding has political ramifications, but that is clearly after impeachment and if all the Ukraine evidence was not going to sway Republicans, nobody is talking impeachment for WHO defunding. I am not sure I get your point at all in comparing the two. I am not confused by the amount...

    Defunding The Police

    I am sure both are problematic legally, but the complaint regarding Ukraine was tied to getting a foreign entity to investigate Joe Biden.

    Defunding The Police

    Most of my friends are very well versed on a range of views from left to right. Even on the Disboard, some of the conservative voices seem to be very familiar with the opposing view, though it's true some are using arguments that might have convinced people a decade ago but now are thoroughly...

    Defunding The Police

    Very simple. Most folks in the House did not want to pursue impeachment until the Ukraine information broke. They wanted to focus on that because they felt it was even more horrible and they would have a chance at turning some Republican votes in the Senate.

    Defunding The Police

    If you are talking about me personally, then I have say you are wrong. I used to watch some of Fox News. I liked the O'Reilly Factor, Although I didn't like Bill O'Reilly's opinions, I did like how he let people talk and how he related to them. He was smart about it. I also read George Will...

    Defunding The Police

    CNN got rid of some the most egregious liars, but they continue to use a boatload of conservative contributors and two prominent conservative hosts. CNN is truly facts first, so anyone who lies is going to get barbecued. The more lies you tell the worse treatment you will get.

    Defunding The Police

    Oops my bad, the quote is that Obama "has a deep seated hatred for white people." Glen Beck, Fox News.

    Defunding The Police

    Again, you are talking about a phony equivalency. Fringe conspiracy theories and opinion vs reporting the news and opinion, but CNN adds a lot of conservative voices in their opinions. The list of conservative contributors they use is impressive. Hugh Hewitt? He was a regular contributor on...

    Defunding The Police

    It was a bad moment, but nowhere nearly as bad as when Glen Beck said on Feb 9, 2009 about two weeks after the inauguration, that Barack Obama "hates white people." We heard 8 years of racism like that from Fox. Now I see what 'stuns' you.

    I'd love to hear your explanation for the adoption lie.

    Defunding The Police

    Then why lie about the "adoption" meeting? Why the cover-ups and why the obstruction of justice? I am sure the FBI and the police lie all the time so they can get warrants. I am glad you are finally realizing that the police lie. But the 10 cases of obstruction outlined in the Mueller...

    Defunding The Police

    The AP and Reuters are not on television nor do they offer complex analysis. If a politician outright lies, then they don't call them out on it or analyze it. There is a media bias chart put out by an independent organization that studies this exact topic, and they don't agree with you.

    Defunding The Police

    Please read your own sources: The CNN story in question was posted on the network’s website on Thursday and was removed, with all links disabled, on Friday night. CNN immediately apologised to Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump transition team member who was reported to be involved in the meeting...

    Defunding The Police

    CNN is not the polar opposite of Fox News. They have conservative voices, hosts (Smerconish, Cupp) on the shows all the time. They have a long list of regular contributors who are highly conservative. And when they need an expert to talk about the CIA, terrorism, etc they get highly...

    Defunding The Police

    I'll deal with these one at a time. Most often CNN has oppositional folks on their shows. This is evident to the audience, and their position is well known. It's not hidden. If they tell a lie they can be called out on it immediately. I don't mind opinions, which can be the same thing as...
