Why did search for sub continue if Navy heard it implode?
‘What you’re looking at is…lines on a graph. If you try to convince people you weren’t doing a search because the lines on a graph indicated an implosion, that wouldn’t be acceptable to many.’

Imagine living in a world where you could just go around insisting people debate you. No matter the topic or who you are. And they have to agree to it.
Where would it end?

What’s it like to debate RFK Jr?
Pretty maddening.
Here’s my column on how you can’t debate a person who disregards facts and my experience debunking and debating RFKJR’s 2004 election claims.
