This is not a normal non-election year.

It's more pronounced when one particular party opposes governance as a general concept.

Zugzwang, bitch.

And it's not like the Republicans had their shit together before Trump was the nominee. FiveThirtyEight tacitly made fun of them by saying they were "acting like Democrats."

They dropped the n-word!?

Not even a self-styled pseudo-intellectual? Silicon Valley-based autocratic monarchists? Effete spiritualists? Retro-racialist vintage queens?


EDIT: "New York's hottest club is…"

So it's like telling Libertarians about Israel?

Could something in your kitchen cabinet be used by your kids to buy heroin to make cheese for their rainbow parties?* Film at eleven.

They are millennials.

Please don't use your Virginia for storage. That's not what it's for.

See, the industrial country is what needs to be considered now.

It's not a perfect analogy.

I meant in the sense that Soldado has completely shed every bit of star power and name recognition that attracted people to the original (great job, guys), whereas this would be tricking people with the promise of name recognition that wasn't really there.

I feel like Star Wars is actually in that tradition, as is Indiana Jones. Unfortunately, the former just kinda took over, and utterly killed his taste for directing.

:(

The great irony of the abortion issue is that, if not for Roe v. Wade, the partisan landscape could've gone the other way. It was way more of a Catholic vs. Protestant issue, but the decline of mainline Protestantism and rise of the Christian right had some ridiculous effects on politics.

Or "Kansas has historically never, ever been a Democratic stronghold."

This sounds like the Anti-Soldado.

I've long suspected that Saddam Hussein was Walter Matthau and Ayatollah Khomeini was Sean Connery.

I too am always game for Asshole Hugh Grant.
