Obstruction is not as attractive to pursue without an underlying offense, sure, but you still don’t have to have the underlying offense. If someone obstructs justice it’s not unreasonable to assume they were successful in hiding some criminal activity. Sure, they can’t be convicted of that underlying crime, but if…

Well, the review on the AV Club suggests that vignette is like a flashback or story being told by Pitt’s character, so it’s possible that’s not meant to be taken seriously or is a way to show us that Pitt’s character is full of shit. Haven’t seen the movie, but that might have been QT’s point
But is it fair to criticize him for not having women in other important roles in this movie if his other movies contain strong, well-written female characters? Hell, Shoshanna is the real mastermind and hero in Inglorious Basterds. If anything, you watch that movie afraid that the Basterds’ scheme would foil her…
Yeah, the use of the n-word is way too much (and in Django, Tarantino cast himself as an Australian slave-catcher so he could say it). But other than that, it’s kind of hard to say that he doesn’t cast strong black characters. Vivica A. Fox played an assassin in Kill Bill (which doesn’t have that many characters in…
I will never understand the take that Jon Snow being a Targaryen didn’t matter at all. There are so many criticisms of the final two seasons, but that one makes zero sense.
And just to be clear, I think players should be able to transfer without sitting out a year.
The Power 5 conferences at least require scholarships to be 4 year commitments that cannot be taken away solely for athletic performance (obviously there are going to be loopholes to exploit though). But yeah, these coaches don’t want free agency because it makes their job harder, no question. As far as Saban not…
Yeah, Saban doesn’t have any buyout to the University either if he decides to leave, if I remember correctly. Many coaches though do owe buyouts if they leave, so for them there is at least a penalty. Of course, at this point in his life it’s not like Saban is going to go coach anywhere else, so I’m sure he’d be…
Well, it’s not really a non-contractual commitment, given that the players have to sign (totally unfair) letters of intent and do bind themselves to a typical one-year sit out in terms of transfer, in exchange for a commitment for a scholarship and access to training to be a professional football player. Now, I think…
The problem with that is it is hard for me to see Republicans controlling either: (1) 2/3 of both the House and Senate; or (2) 2/3 of state legislatures, which is what would have to happen to even propose repealing the amendment. Then you’d have to have 3/4 of the states. While the GOP controls far too many state…
Yeah, this is what I don’t get. It’s like, I, Tom the taxidermist from Iowa, can post insane political commentary on my facebook page because I’m a nobody, but these ultra-talented athletes shouldn’t be saying jack about politics. That literally makes no sense.
It’s not that the term itself is anti-Semetic, but Ilhan Omar used the phrase “it’s all about the Benjamins” when referring to why AIPAC has such a strong influence. People took that to mean her saying essentially “Jews have plenty of money and control things” and not her saying “this pro-Israel lobby gives a lot of…
I know you are a massive troll, but given your commitment to replying I at least think you must believe the things you say on here. Do you really think this is just about attacking a president we don’t like? There is a lot of smoke around both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump on this. Trump spoke favorably of Epstein in…
“I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”
Yeah, tying the minimum wage to inflation seems like the way to go once an increase is passed.
Yeah, this line didn’t make any sense to me. If someone is already at over $15 now, there wouldn’t be a raise for them? What are we missing?
Who’s to say that we are not operating at a current inefficiency? So much attention is given to the pure income dollars of something like this, but the real issue is where that $16 billion disappears from. Any economist understands the law of diminishing marginal utility. $8 billion in the pockets of those below…
Yeah, I’ve heard the whole, the minimum wage is terrible because it’s an external market force disrupting the market, which will be inefficient. But what that line of reasoning seems to ignore is that governments are not solely external market forces. Rather, laws like this are often the result of workers demanding…
