It seems pretty obvious what happened. Trump initially called the press conference as an impulsive decision (much like most of his actions in office) and genuinely fancied the idea of declaring a state of national emergency because he was upset about losing the House and not getting the wall (and he has nothing else…

They should have delayed it and put fact checking comments at the bottom of the feed.

Wwll, surely next time he wants to do a big TV thing, the networks will have learned, and be like ‘nah, you know, last time wasn’t great, it was kind of a waste of time’.

Not me. I’m energized. I can’t wait to volunteer for my favorite choice of the Democratic primary candidates, then to volunteer for whoever emerges the victor (whether it’s my preferred candidate or not) and then VOTE again. It felt really good to do for my local races this last fall, and it felt really good to win,…

So... maybe now do a bit on setting up your side view mirrors to actually look at the side, instead of the rear? That way you have no blind spots. I’m still amazed how many people don’t know about this.

You actually made Bullitt more watchable.

Real life Bullitt:

I actually enjoyed FO4, not as much as 3, but still good.  I too was disappointed with the story (mostly), but the solution I was looking for wasn’t “drop the story entirely”, but more of a “make the story significantly more compelling”.

You’re never going to make everybody happy. If these same women had somehow worked and succeeded at getting the policy changed, there would be people saying, “oh great, do they want a cookie?”, or otherwise deriding them for not having acted sooner. I’m not even saying that would be the majority reaction—just that…

To the other commenters, where did they act like they cured inequality? They proved a point and people, like local news, took notice. That’s like step #1 of deconstructing white supremacy - using your privilege to not only acknowledge it exists but also right the wrongs it produced.

I see this divergence around what’s…

This whole thread is just how not to cook steak. Searing in juices isn't even a fuking thing, searing removes moisture and does absolutely nothing to contain it

Well said.

Chasing McConnell out of restaurants has become a regular past-time for Louisvillians.

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that any Republican congressman who is awake and speaking, must be in need of a punch in the face.

Plus it's not entitlement if you've already paid into the system!

This is by far the most common and short sighted argument that I see. Wringing hands worried about what the “other side” will think or do.

Sony should have one-upped Nintendo by selling “memory cards” full of games on top of the 20 baked in. 

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

You have a very skewed idea of what it takes to be a “terrible person.” That aside: I wish I knew how to explain to you that you should care about other people.
