Can't stop laughing. Am also adding this to my conversational repertoire when I am at a loss for words upon hearing a particularly perplexing assertion.

"Average human driver" is doing a lot of work here. Where is the comparison to professionally driven cabs?

To them social deference is evidence that people fear them.

It is our power it we chose to exercise it. Also, they may not feel shame, but people close to them do.

This is MAGA's Achilles heel: these people who seem to have all the power and money, they are DESPERATE to be liked.

We can withhold the deference and inclusion they crave. They don't feel shame, but they feel exclusion and contempt, ACUTELY.

Shunning is free, non-violent and highly effective.

A person who lives according to a truth you've told may have been compelled by the truth, not you.

But to force a person to live according to your lie means you are the one who compelled them.

The more obvious the lie, the more obvious your domination.

So fascists prefer obvious lies.

License, registration and INSURANCE.

Also the Jan 6 Insurrection. And while we are at it, Twitter.

Gavin Newsome is doing something similar with good effect.

Honestly I think if Trump faced an opponent who made stuff up about him the way he makes shit up about his opponents it would be effective; after a 3 minute debate rant full of lies the other person just shrugged and said "what can you expect from this guy? he shits in the sink" and moved along.

I appreciate what you do. I just treasure the conversation over the broadcast. No offense taken and, I hope, none given.

Sorry, I don't like to wait around (while being manipulated by tone and emphasis) for people to get to the point.
Text is edited twice; once by the producer and once by the consumer.
Video (or audio) requires staying on the train until it stops at the station. Good for advocacy, bad for learning.

Exactly right. The greatest two word marketing scam since "smart speaker."

The end of slavery is not insignificant. Can't think of a lot since, though.

Trump believes that power is fear. He thought that he was bequeathed the international blackmail enterprise that Epstein had built. The only way that works is if the files are not public. I I don't think Trump has any sense of shame.

I don’t care anymore just pick a time and LEAVE IT - STOP CHANGING IT!

I prefer DST but I will still live if it stays CST.

It doesn't matter! I propose renaming noon midnight and midnight noon.

Bingo! Many more benefits as well.
