There is zero chance it will be Romney. Romney was one of the most vicious critics of Trump.

I'm aware. But I still wouldn't put it at a zero chance.

Any time something goes wrong for you, just yell "LOCK HER UP!!"
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

As for the last sentence, it translates to: what you said about rational wiki could be said about any website.

If you try to make a rule out of healthy skepticism, you ain't gonna go anywhere, sure. That don't change the fact that the actual "rationality" of rationalwiki is very dubious as their bias is very obvious.
Hence why I called it the leftwing metapedia.

And no. There isn't nearly as much website with as much bias as it, and most of them don't claim to be unbiased when they're so clearly aren't.


Pretty much every media outlet ever claims it has no bias.
I'm not trying to rule out skepticism, what I'm getting at is that having the word Rational in the name shouldn't translate to "Its probably anything but rational". You could say it takes the rational point of view, which is the least known for bias.

Sure. Almost none put it in their name, tho.

Okay, it probably won't be Romney ...



Trump might name Romney if he thinks he can use him as a fall guy for scandals, but I have to believe Romney is smarter than to fall for that. I also can't believe that Trump truly wants Romney for SoS. It might just be a case of "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer".

So then going on in that path we can conclude that every news network ever is "Known for their bias". Having the word "News" in the name just makes them sounds even less credible...

Also, Rationalists should call their wiki anything but rational wiki.

His unpredictability is becoming predictable, though, at this point. Maybe he needs to become more predictable so that people will continue to think he's unpredictable.
