The bigger damage here is he recovered. This means he’ll join the cadre of, “I got over it, I don’t think it’s a big deal.” types.

Tell-all memoirs don’t matter. Estranged wife and daughters don’t matter. A complete compromise on his part of any and all principles and decency don’t matter. He is packing the Supreme Court with conservatives, and that’s the only thing that matters. In his eyes certainly.

That’s interesting, I wouldn’t consider McConnell (the senator) to be zealous or nutty, just completely self-interested and devoid of principles. But I could be completely wrong about that.

**On Reopening America**

Maybe this is where I finally begin to understand the distaste some old-school fans have for the trope subversion of “The Last Jedi.” Every positive you just listed is for me a negative. (Not saying you’re wrong; I realize that it’s just Not For Me.)

I still would have preferred if both examples of “losing the thing which you love most” weren’t “woman thrown from cliff”. I mean, these are stones that represent all aspects of the universe. You’d think that there would be room for metaphor instead of dropping things off a high rock, or at least that someone’s…

Skyfall just falls apart however when you look at the plot for five seconds and realise the villain’s plan that requires, years ahead of time, politicians meeting at a certain time in a certain building, M not losing her job prior to the film due to budget cuts, the tube running on time, Q opening a file at a certain…

Maybe I’m warped by having watched 3 other actors before him play the character but Craig never read Bond to me. He was too generic action man and lacked the sublety, levity and suave-ness that make Bond such an enduring part of our cultural landscape. His movies were good movies, but not good “Bond movies” IMO.

Too bad Mendes couldn’t pull it off a second time in Spectre.

I’m always amused at the “logic” where people should tip more because the economy sucks and service workers aren’t getting paid much.  You know who else isn’t getting paid much?  90%+ of the workforce.  So I guess they get doubly screwed if they want to eat out.

Boy she just jumped right in with her helpful advice. We’re lucky to have her.

Little from column A, little from column B.

Maybe we should have organized some sort of iterative voting process to determine who could attract the most votes. It might even span almost a year! We could call it a “Preliminary,” or something like that.

Oh god, here we go again. Joe just doesn’t excite me. Hillary just isn’t likable. Grow up voters, you have to vote and you have to vote for people who have the knowledge and experience and ethics to move the needle.

The problem with that argument is that Bernie supporters were sure as hell “excited” about voting for him and look how that turned out. They didn’t show up and he got a smaller share of the vote in many states than he did in 2016.

Oh for fuck sake.

So unexciting that the extremely exciting candidate didn’t turn out enough to beat him?  Your argument seems like one that immediately defeats itself.

OK, can we stop with the line that it’s a Dem’s fault (either Biden for encouraging participating, or Bernie for not dropping out sooner) that Wisconsinites had to go out on Tuesday and vote in the Primary? It’s been ALL OVER these sites for the last few days, and it sucks.

Waste of time. Those morons dont even vote for Bernie.

Yeah I’m 29 and now officially have no idea what is going on. I mean, other than the bascis of “people like to watch hot people do stuff”. That will never go out of style.
