Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Oh, Liberal Redneck is a riot. Southern fried comedy with a backbone, I call it. He also delivers a message, and that's priceless. Funny how people working with humor (comedians, late night show hosts) are the ones with the most incisive and critical approach to the fuckery that is politics in America).
Bill, well, Maher has points sometimes. The only thing I have to say is that Dems play by the rules, while Repugs do not care about them and get away with it.
XOOX
Trae Crowder rules!
I saw the first one. It's really good.
Bill Maher has a point. When the far-right acts like the assholes that they are, there is a knee jerk reaction to try to drag things as far left as they will go. I'm not so sure things are going to change much in the near future.
I was hooked from the start - I do have a shitty uncle* and at least a couple of regrettable ex-girlfriends - one was utterly mental. I somehow suspect this is not very unusual.
*I would like to tell of his antics (they are amusing) but some of them are still sub-judice. Some of them, if I even mentioned, might result in repercussions. Legal repercussions.
I've seen Trae already, but Maher has an important point.
I allege boredom and a bunch of Karens expecting to get consensus, but the consensus should be everyone agreeing with them.
You're never going to get everyone to agree, but you can, like Obama, call out the bs for what it is.
I was once on a jury with the question involving the treatment of several non-verbal students. Did the defendant abuse them, or not? One of the other jurors had been in education in her previous residence. California, for those who are interested. Her contention was that we must declare the accused teacher guilty because we must believe the children, whatever they say. Yeah, she said that. Yes, she actually believe that children never lie. Yes, she said we should believe the children in a case where the children couldn't testify because they were non-verbal. And I bet she would have had a Hillary bumper stick if she lived in a place where it was safe to do that.
She never did change her mind, and the case ended in a hung jury.
OK, I can wish for the center, but I'm not sure where that center is.
