Tangent Thread - P&R Edition

I moved anything that seemed to be related to the 'comrade'/ArE yOu A rUsSiAn/sock puppet tangent that got started in that thread.

It's not lost on me that people sometimes use the term "comrade" with a measure of ill-intent towards conservatives/Trump supporters. Whether or not that was the intent here, what ensued was a silly back and forth, so it all got moved.

What I find most heartening about the local sports board, after the overtly anti-American events of last week and the planned events of the upcoming weekend, is that we have guides who are wise enough to understand that hate-enabling speech has no place in a free society.

Thank goodness those who apologize or who rationalize events like happened last week have no fertile ground to set up root here.

Thank goodness this site doesn't enable the kind of discourse that might lead to excesses in the near future.

Trump wasn’t a President having to handled like Biden because of noticeable cognitive decline.

My favorite is probably the windmill speech, which is longer and more bizarre than the snippet below, but examples of Trump's incoherence are legion. If you look at clips of Trump from 15 years ago, he does seem more measured and articulate. But who can really say whether Trump speeches are evidence of cognitive decline, or whether he vastly over-estimates his ability to speak extemporaneously about subjects he knows nothing about. I'm going with "both." 

I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody I know. It’s very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly—very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured tremendous—if you’re into this—tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint—fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything—right?

So they make these things and then they put them up. And if you own a house within vision of some of these monsters, your house is worth 50 percent of the price. They’re noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go. Take a look. A bird graveyard. Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen ever in your life. You know, in California, they were killing the bald eagle. If you shoot a bald eagle, they want to put you in jail for 10 years. A windmill will kill many bald eagles. It’s true.
