I kind of want to blame Buckley. Both Buckley and Goldwater (whose The Conscience of a Conservative Buckley's brother-in-law ghostwrote) were opposed to civil rights and made it a central part of their thought. The Southern Strategy is perhaps just when they and their fellow travelers won over the Republican Party for…

Yeah, vague claims that she's a bitch probably reveal more about the person complaining than the supposed bitch.

Ad hominem arguments can be perfectly legit, see for instance Douglas Walton's work. His book Ad Hominem Arguments is great and he has a number of papers available on-line.

I secretly hope Tiffany is a mole, her testimony throws the Trump, her siblings, and the entire administration into jail, and somehow she inherits all their money.

Why is this a surprise? He loves conspiracy theories and hates admitting he's wrong/grossly ignorant. Any day now I'm sure he'll bring back birtherism.

I would add it's also important to have people with experience governing in office. Term limits are a horrible idea because the last thing we need is a government filled with people who have no idea how to do anything.*

He's also twice rescued lost hikers with his helicopter.

If Harold and the centuries old Madame Gao are anything to go by, not even clear if one can kill him.

Earlier they mentioned some prophecy Danny fulfilled—"fire from the sky" or some such nonsense. Maybe that's why he was chosen? Who really knows!

Danny is prone to violent outbursts, maybe that is what they were trying for? I just thought he came across as unstable.

In a more interesting show, Bakuto turning on Colleen would be a sign that like Harold he was brought back from the dead and turning on the one closest to him (which for Harold I guess means Kyle; on a better show that might be pointed out).

As Victor Klemperer claims in The Language of the Third Reich, the Third Reich "makes excessive use of what I would call ironic quotation marks."

The White House denies it so I assume it is true.

To quote a song Trump is fond of reciting:

Yeah, the show itself isn't really bad. Its quality is probably close to a mediocre season of Arrow or The Flash. But compared to the other Marvel shows (excepting DD season 2)? It's an enormous disappointment.

Least of all the effing writers.

Not sure why it isn't both. The writing is awful. I've seen the entire series and it's still unclear how much they realize Danny is awful. Certainly if they do know, they don't do much with it.

We also don't learn enough about K'un L'un to know if it really is a cult. Probably so! Look at Davos. But the show does not give us enough information to have any idea what K'un L'un is like, and what info it does give is mostly confusing (there are village girls nearby?!?) or wannabe cutesy (spying on them is a bit…

Though I felt telling Ward he was a disappointment was misstep. It really undermined the idea Harold, in his effed up way, loved or thought he loved Ward.

Oh well, not the show's first mistake. :/

Yeah, the Hand (for the most part) is something the show got right (and certainly compared to the godawful Daredevil season 2). They and the Meachums are far and away the most interesting things about the show, even if often a bit of a letdown (e.g. the awesome karaoke introduction of Scythe or whomever vs. his actual…
