I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

    So…one of the reasons the White House is giving for firing Comey is the Comey letter, which probably put Trump in the White House. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/862062495103688704 …

        I preferred Trump to Clinton but I've never fooled myself into thinking that he's a conservative.

        Remember u said 'not intervenin in foreign wars' was the main selling point of Trump

        A selling point, not the main one. And while I'm not optimistic he's still only bombed a Syrian airport.

        All the hysterics from the American press obscures that Trump basically is a generic, somewhat moderate Republican so far in practice

        I want to make a pun but I can't remember if it's Hate or Height. My moral philosophy professor from 5 years ago would be disappointed.

        It's not ideology at that level. Sanders maybe, but he was no match for Clinton, even though she was a weak candidate.
