It’s really disconcerting that he sort of praises his own restraint at killing 150 people. I somehow get the sense that it is a show of power. The lives of 150 people are in his hands and he revels in that. This is like something to show off to his supporters. “I spared the lives of these 150 foreigners. I am so…

I totally respect your view. I was you just 4 years ago saying the same thing. I absolutely do not claim to be any more enlightened than you and totally believe what you are saying is true. Just so we are on the same page.

Not sure if this is sarcasm but since this is the internet, it probably is. I previously did that whole vote for the ideal progressive candidate and only that candidate. I refused to vote for a candidate that was a flawed, centrist democrat. Personally, I just feel like I learned my lesson from last time.

Vote Blue…

Whatever happens, just make sure you vote blue. Don’t let this become a repeat of 2016 with the liberal voters tearing themselves apart with animosity. I don’t want Biden and would prefer Sanders or Warren, but literally anyone on that blue ticket would be preferable to another 4 years of Trump.

I’m voting blue whatever happens. But I wish our choices weren’t Republican Lite or Republican With Extra Bacon. I wish Biden would cozy up to actual Democrats and not indulge in this fantasy of winning over the moderate/rational Republicans.

The vocabulary that Trump uses, like “wise guy”, and his insistence on loyalty, etc, often reminds me of how those gangsters in those mob movies talk.

Killmeade sounds like he is basically telling the President what he needs to do because he knows the President is watching.

Look, I’m gonna fall in line and vote whoever is on the blue ticket. But, I really hope it isn’t Biden. His views just seem like they’d fit better on a campaign platform from 20 years ago, not 2019. I hope it’s going to be Warren, Bernie, or someone else with fresher ideas and an interest in the liberal part of the…

We’re in the darkest timeline. Everything’s changed.

That’s super cool that he mimics the powers of the ninjas and other outerworld denizens. I’d never seen that before so I have no idea if he did that in previous games in the past.

I started to not favor her back when that DNA test stuff was happening but she’s really climbing up my favorites list for Dems in the primary. I’ll be voting for anyone on the blue ticket, but Bernie and Warren are my hopefuls I’m rooting for. I’m so glad she’s really saying the things no one else is saying.

I love how “it was meant to be a private message” is now a defense that is being popularized. Like they genuinely believe that saying the quiet part loud was ever an excuse.

Not everyone might get this reference. But it was a beautiful reference. 

That hat makes Trump look like one of those “M’lady” type guys. I need him to wear that hat every day because it just looks ridiculous on him.

I hope it’s becoming clear to Congress that all of these processes and norms only hold power if one branch actually acknowledges the authority of another. They keep thinking this is a knife fight and keep following the rules of a knife fight, when it has become a drone fight a long time ago.

“Bridgette, you’re the president of jack shit.” is unexpectedly my favorite quote of the day.

I enjoyed this article more than any article on any Gizmodo family sites all year. It got a little too long and the references got so obscure that they were a little “meh”, but I enjoyed the journey, both the ups and downs.

Bless you. No matter who you put as Han, I would have found them unworthy. :’)

I always find it sad and frustrating when officials say they are willing to increase aggression or even go to war with a country to force the regime to ensure the rights of its people... and if those rights aren’t ensured, then the next step is to bomb the country and its people. :/

“Let’s imagine you’re a 29 year old single person earning $72,000 right now”

Wow. Lived in LA my whole life and I’m always still a little shocked when I read average income figures like this. I support my parents too and $72k seems very far away. The degrees of separation from lower income/working class people…
