It sounds to me more like him explaining why he took a Marvel contract that only called for one or two appearances.

Almost won the election against possibly the single worst candidate in American history. The Democrats should have been able to run a half-eaten ham sandwich and been leading by a 30 point margin.

Full price admission in advance.

It’s worse than that. Clinton built most of her campaign on “we can’t let Trump win”, while Trump built his on “we’re going to bring back the jobs”. It doesn’t matter that it was bullshit, people believed it because they needed to believe the jobs would come back.

The problem is that someone speaking against Wells Fargo isn’t exactly credible when have JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley among their top 10 campaign contributors.

It does actually compute in a strategic sense.

Well, there’s the emails reprinted by the New York Times, which essentially showed that the DNC had already presumed Clinton as the eventual nominee, despite their having supposed to remain neutral. There’s significant evidence that while they may not have sabotaged Sanders per se, they never actually considered him…

Because the vast majority of Democratic primary voters voted for her.

One was a black constitutional scholar being compared to Hitler by the right wing media because he wanted to expand criminal background checks for gun purchases that were already subject to background checks.

Right? Texas likes to talk a big game about how they’re the 12th largest economy in the world- But take away all the federal jobs (something like 350,000 people), close the two huge military bases and NASA, reroute our imports to ports in LA and FL, quit dealing with defense contractors located there, and cut off the…

As my buddy says, why would an advanced species keep sending their people here to abduct humans and give them anal probes when after 60 years, all they’ve discovered is that one in ten really don’t mind the probe so much?

classic Buffy-esque season long mythology story with mostly episodic stories in between

The Electoral College is legally and morally entitled to vote for whomever they think serves the best interest of the nation- Historically, that has meant simply confirming the will of the voters, but it also has the authority to save those voters from themselves when necessary.

What happens when you start a new job and you don’t know what to do? You figure it out. You do research....Same thing with fighting racism. ... Ask us for help, sure, but don’t ONLY ask us for help without doing some of the lifting yourself.

I read that more as “I’m asking someone else because I’m not in an environment to witness it firsthand”.

To me the issue with this *specific* movie is that I don’t see any way *how* the character could be updated to avoid stereotypes. I mean, it’s an ancient martial arts guru- It’s more the very premise of the character than the trappings which make them stereotypical, and that premise is essential to the story.

And that’s when it turns. I’m no longer the one friend that they reached out to. Now, I’m being asked to Show Them the Way to Enlightenment. Educate me, brown person!!

Islamic theology (from back when Muslims were still enlightened) explains that away with the idea that you have free will, but god knows what you will choose to do with it even before you do.

See. to me, it simply recalled Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land.
