Oh race is certainly a big element, but for Trump at least, money is significantly more important-- this won’t stop a Chinese Princeling or an African Warlord or some offshoot of the House of Saud who occasionally dabble in financing “freedom fighters” from dropping a quarter million + on a Condo they’ll never visit

Yeah, this is market protection not policy-- Trump would let the third wife of an ISIS commander shack up and have a kid if said commander can meet the rate for his shitty bedbug infested condos. 

Watch this not apply to those willing to fork over a condo fee. 

There’s desperate people and then there’s the high end version where you sell a South Beach Condo with convenient hospital access to Oligarchs and Gangsters for their mistresses and trophy wives. 

Someone might want to tell Trump, he’s a key player in this in South Florida. 

Yeah, Jared Kushner’s sister was caught promoting this; touting their connections to the Administration and Trump South Florida properties are notorious for doing this for wealthy Russians. 

Um.......................So....there’s a massive fucking elephant in the room on this one.

Seriously, the show— even the original Shatner version—was always woke for its time. Interracial (and interspecies but the former was definitelyra bigger issue at the time) romance, a Russian on the bridge on a show filmed in the 60s, etc

One of the few upsides with going bald early- he's basically had the same look with a few more wrinkles my entire life and I'm almost 40

From a story-telling perspective, failing to more clearly and consistently show Dany’s fall was their biggest failing— it’s a good story, and one that works with the text (both of the show and the books) but which wasn’t communicated with any consistency throughout the show itself so it ended up coming off as “warning

While it’s by no means the biggest problem with the final season, King Bran was such a massive swerve from the show perspective that it just didn’t work (in the books, where Bran is effectively one of the three or four primary POVs it should fit better— the analogy would be the last novel having 0 Bran POV chapters

This also gets at the inherent problem with the finale structure B&W chose— the vast bulk of the tension in the story was the fight between the living and the dead- the everyone vs. Cersei and the Sex Pirate story line was while thematically interesting always pretty much a foregone conclusion— even after the writers

Wow. So if Biden upsets Bernie in South Carolina and other states where African Americans make up a major chunk of the electorate it should be seen as a massive choke by Sanders 

Eh....a deadbeat dad who loved NRA money? I mean Bernie’s not exactly pure himself

If the Gabbard lawsuit is in any way successful Hillary Clinton is about to become the richest woman who ever lived because apparently she can sue for cash damages every public figure who uttered a potentially unproven accusation against her from Benghazi to attacking the Clinton Foundation to Uranium One to all the

No, I think extending healthcare coverage to 15 million+ Americans (and rising with each state that expands Medicaid) is a pretty massive achievement but I could understand how you might not if you oppose universal healthcare. 

Please point to the Medicaid Expansion and subsidies in the Heritage Foundation “plan” also-- Romney literally threatened a veto and would have if it wouldn’t have been overwritten by the Democratic Supermajority in the Mass State House. This is weak after the fact spin. 

What’s worse is Pete, despite the super, super white reputation and presentation actually has some interesting roots that he’s at least partially turned into (learning Maltese)— he should have a sweet North African/Mediterranean recipe to pass off as a family secret. 

Shouldn’t Pete have some sweet Mediterranean/North African family recipe?

Eh...it’s different as a teenager- think about all the other shit we put on our faces then-- literal acid, etc-- teenage skin is awesome for its resilience but otherwise, totally glad that’s done and I don’t break out simply from eating a few slices of pizza or sweating in gym class and not washing until the evening.
