Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Apologies for the delay in providing fresh sand.  It is interesting to continue the discussion of the Fat Kid's threats in response to which our Left wants to go through the next cycle of appeasement, so that when another 5-7 years have gone by NK really has the capability to concurrently launch multiple missiles with…

  • [I had no idea that the discussion of Trump’s presidency and its survival could be elevated to the enviable level of an unending ‘Yes he is …’, ‘No he isn’t …’, ‘Yes he is …’, ‘No he isn’t …’, ‘Yes he is …’, ‘No he isn’t …’, ‘Yes he is …’, ‘No he isn’t …’,…

  • [Ah yes, the filibuster debates are again in season.  Republicans are being admonished by the eternally innocent progressives about messing with the filibuster, as if that were a tradition brought down on the tablets and one that has remained unblemished since then.  It would be utterly       unconsciounable to bring up the recent…

  • [Can the Republican congress govern?  Given the powers it has abrogated to Mueller, the Dems, et al, the question has merit.  More here.  gjr]

  • [Administrivia – RR readers are a vigorous and feisty bunch who have many things on their minds, strong beliefs, and lots to say.  I celebrate the forums that spring up in our comment streams with topic threads spontaneously bursting out in all directions.  My only and oft-repeated desire is that RR commenters record their grand…

  • [So what happened to all the investigations hysteria?  If on his G-20 trip Trump breaks into a smile anywhere within 50ft of Putin, will that be incontestable evidence of election collusion between Team Trump and Russia?  gjr]

  • [Fresh sand for the free for all.  Anyone want to review the latest clinical evidence that liberals/progressives process critical thought with different parts of the brain than do conservatives/libertarians?  gjr]

  • [OK boys and girls, here’s your Happy Summer Solstice sandbox, all ready to receive another tranche of exhilarating polling reports with follow on debates guaranteed to boost sales of all caffeine-related products.  However, those wishing to consider other topics may gain inspiration from the winning entry in a Dutch artwork contest depicting Europe’s multi-culturalism problems that…
