At one point, there was some public discussion about what would happen if news outlets stopped identifying elected officials by putting an (R) or a (D) next to their name when they appeared on camera. Such a thing would obviously prevent the viewer from making an immediate assumption about the perspective they were about to hear.

I’m all ears when it comes to these kinds of experiments.

I would love this.

I would love to see this. But people aren't used to having to think about what they are hearing. It would be surprising to many how much they actually agree with the other side if they weren't already predisposed to disbelieve it.

I believe the FCC could make this happen with the stroke of a pen.

People will moan about the precedent it sets for the muzzling of free speech, though.

I wish lawmakers would work together to make this happen in a bipartisan effort. Let’s see a temporary measure (like, 4 years of this), and then let’s have a public debate on how we thought it worked.

^ see, I need to move to Scandinavia. That’s the kind of **** they do. Le sigh.

What country has the least messy history with good outcomes now? Is there such a place?
Switzerland keeps sounding nice.

I’m hoping that Scotland goes independent in about 1.5 years (that seems about as soon as the movement could finally coalesce and get over the top with a solid majority). I think they’ll have a lot of good ideas for how to promote participation, protect labor and the environment, etc.

My wife and I were there for a couple of weeks last year and we really loved it. I think we’d seriously consider moving there if they went independent.

Two sincere questions:

1. a long way toward what?

2. what specific use value do you anticipate this information will have as of Thursday, July 16th?

A long way towards seeing what her contemporaneous statement was at the time, which is likely more accurate/believable. Clearly everyone would have some mixed details after so many years. It would give the public a better understanding of what may have happened. It takes a lot of courage to make a claim like this against your boss.

At this point, it honestly won't do anything, except perhaps give us a better understanding of who Biden is.

It is not unreasonable at all for both Kavanaugh and Ford to both be completely honest. Something that happened 30 years ago is hard enough to remember and even something that happened 10 min ago is open to 2 very different interpretations. I assume the same with Biden though I don't know as much about it.

I agree. However, indelible memories are formed by more traumatic experiences, so I would subjectively trust hers more than his. I am watching the Epstein documentary and those women are scarred and credible. What an effin scumbag.

But, as I said, I don't think you change your vote based on totally unproven stuff. The Dems were out for blood and out of line. Many could care less about Ford except to the extent that it would block his approval.

FREEDOOOOOOM!!!!!!
But seriously.... my Scottish friend at work and I watched in disbelief when the independence referendum was voted down prior to the Brexit fiasco. Here's hoping that it eventually happens.
I am of Scottish descent... would love nothing more than to see Scotland as a sovereign nation.
 
If you want a good laugh, watch this video. If you are a humorless liberal, avoid it at all costs. It may be triggering.
