    Trump will probably try to pardon Infowars.

    The guy is a self professed conspiracy theorist. Not my cup of tea. Where I have a problem with this is he is no worse than many "news" program on air. To shut him down across the board sets a bad precedence.

    It is pretty easy to go across the dial and see opinion reported as "news". OPB, PBS, CNN, MSLSD, Fox...

    And which of those engage in conspiracy theories as ridiculous and harmful as Infowars does?

    C'mon man... Are you part of Q-Anon? That's a crazy thing to say. Alex Jones might as well be the founder of that shit.

    That is a matter of opinion. If you want an example of people saying things that are a danger to others, look no further than Maxine Waters telling people to harass those that you do not agree with. To me Alex Jones is more in line with Art Bell. Most of what he says is to be taken with a grain of salt.



    I do not see how you equate these two, but whatever. I am more concerned with freedom of speech.

    Well, gotta give credit where credit is due. The biggest difference is that one pretends that opinion is fact, while the other makes no pretense.

    Both are purveyors of grandiose conspiracy theories.

    Simple.

    You probably never said one terse word about WaPo until "dein Anführer" said they were fake...

    Naw. I have made historical reference to how corrupt the media has been for at least one hundred and fifty years. Not a new stance for me.

    Like I said. What have you EVER said about WaPo SPECIFICALLY...?

    Nothing.

    Hey, wasn't it you that recommended the bakery that sold the excellent pies? Well, I went there yesterday. You should have told me it's in the same neighborhood as the Clinton theater. How many times have I seen Rocky Horror Picture Show there.

    I had quiche, decaf coffee and a whole lemon meringue pie to go. My wife had regular coffee and a lemon donut.

    The quiche was okay but had excellent crust. The coffee was better than average but really should have been Boyds. My wife wasn't all that crazy about the lemon donut nor her coffee. The service was the worst I've had in several years. It took an hour to get our order right. By that time my coffee was cold. I asked my wife to warm up my cup by adding some fresh coffee but they were out of decaf and out of regular. They had no apple pie nor any blackberry pie so I settled on a lemon meringue pie. The pie was not too bad but not nearly as good as I thought the $34 price would bring. The pie crust is very good. Overall, we weren't too happy.

    Maybe I'll phone the bakery and try an apple or a blackberry pie when they have it in the future. Otherwise, I see no reason to return.
