Hold up, how is just dropping an n-bomb racist? He didn’t call a black dude an n-word, so how is just saying it inherently racist? That’s ridiculous. For context, I’m half black, and I personally can’t see why there’s so much outrage over this. Sure, it’s probably not the best word for him to use to express his…

Send them an email, they’ve got a decent PR team. They might spring for replacements.

I’m not saying that Trump’s ego would never let him admit having his hand broken in a handshake with someone else.

You left out the part where, in the real world, we don’t REWARD most of those misogynists and racists with publicity, status, and money. Maybe we wouldn’t keep running into situations where we’re given the choice of rooting for the lesser of two assholes if we stopped paying for the privilege of seeing them.

I didn’t see any homophobic slurs quoted. Were they in the video that was taken down?

I disagree, some of the specific people they were referencing may have faded, but a lot of the archetypes are never far from the current landscape.

MLK and Gandhi are held up as representatives of non-violent resistance, to the point where we decry violence as a solution to anything. But their movements were successful, in no small part, because the non-violence was the alternative to MASSIVE violence. Part of Gandhi’s motivation in keeping his protests…

Josh Lyman: ...you’re listening to me, but you’re not understanding me.

There is a direct benefit to the defense. The longer a trial takes, the more likely it becomes that evidence gets misplaced, or that witnesses become unavailable or lose full recollection of the events. In a less high-profile case, it’d give the defense more time to undermine key pieces of evidence - finding that…

You know what? The blame for this rests on a lot of shoulders, but liberal millenials aren’t part of the problem. They were BOTH awful candidates - YES, that means Hillary. She was a hawkish, corrupt, HUGELY entitled establishment politician, and that’s ignoring all the crap the far right tacked on her. I don’t…

Length of the sentence aside, allowing alternative jail sentences isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Convictions are a pretty heavy stigma to finding employment, and lack of employment can easily lead to reoffending.

It won’t appear in a booster pack, but it WILL have a disproportionate impact on Arena and the constructed meta. In Arena, it’s an instant loser, substantially hosing the potential of any draft round it’s in. In the constructed meta, it’s an unviable option when Priest is already drowning in them. That’s where the…

This was a god-awful card, though. It was a two mana version of Silence, which cost zero and targeted ANY minion, and was already considered too weak to include in any competitive deck. If the bump to 2 mana and a draw was accompanied by targeting ANY minion, the card would still likely be considered too weak for…

Okay, I didn’t say she was put in charge of the campaign, just that she was given a position. That’s true. And even as just a face-saving gesture, the optics are terrible.

What was the false rumor?

Believe me, I have. If anything is going to be the single factor that drives me to voting for Hillary Clinton, that vision is almost definitely it.

Her stance on the TPP is indicative, at least to me, that her platform on business is more out of convenience than principle. Terry McAuliffe just got in trouble this week for saying he was sure she’d sign it once she was in office.

Yeah, it does have that potential. I think Clinton would be, in many ways, a continuation of Obama’s policies, both good and bad. Trump is an obvious dumpster fire, but he’s an easy to grasp one. He’s ego, personified. Clinton, on the other hand, is widely regarded as untrustworthy. She’s a career politician who has…

Business regulations affect tax bases, which in turn impact education and public health services, which directly affects how much people support gay rights, or get the sex education/contraceptives that lowers the need for abortions to begin with. They ALSO impact things like factories poisoning water tables and large…

Trans woman, actually, not a bro. And yeah, politics is compromise. I don’t expect a perfect politician. I didn’t consider Obama a perfect candidate when he was elected. I don’t see the Greens as perfect either - nuclear power’s a vital interest that does vastly less damage to the environment than most other energy…
