Trump gains support by blaming it on the “impeachment hoax”

Just recently I was trying to read some stuff by Willard Van Orman Quine who was a philosopher whose ideas about linquistics influenced Chomsky.

I was reading it without any notes on what it means and it’s over my head but I still think what he was getting at was the more you break language down the less meaning it has and since it’s meaningless at a super micro level there’s always that ghost of ambiguity at the level of basic communication.

So next is just my own thought about that but if you can use that ghost of ambiguity inside the words effectively and you use verbal communication as a means to power it works. People who never or only rarely read have far less experience with language so they get tripped up easier. And you can’t build these skills through short fragments like on twitter and Facebook. You actually have to read books. Even more challenging, you even need to read books that aren’t fun to read.

Bro reading books and becoming politically engaged doesn't make you immune to manipulation. It just changes how you are manipulated. I mean Fox News exists on this premise. And it's true for many who scoff at Fox News.

Well, I didn’t say it makes you immune. I’m only saying if you don’t read you’re much more vulnerable.

So, abortion. I am against it it in most cases. However I also do not like the idea of the government telling a woman what she can and can't do with her body. I believe it should be limited. I also believe the government should not be funding Planned Parenthood simply because the federal government should not be subsidizing any private business. Democrats need to stop with the abortion scare tactics. Roe V Wade is not going anywhere and even if it magically vanished it would simply become a states issue and most states would allow abortion with certain restrictions.

Such an old issue. Everyone knows that abortion should be allowed until 6 weeks after birth, just like a Walmart exchange policy.

Have you ever seen a real video of a woman having an abortion? It’s sexy af. I have no idea why abortion porn isn’t bigger. The look on a woman’s face the moment the fetus is destroyed is the gold standard in erotica

Here’s a full history of my comments on this fantastic subject

I think you’ll come around to issue once you get a handle on ... just jack off to an abortion and you’ll get it.
