“Rose.” I had just gotten out of the army and was visiting my hometown before starting school and went over to hang out with my friend. He handed me a joint and said “dude, we gotta watch this show Doctor Who. It’s sci-fi, it’s super British, you’ll fucking love it.” So we watched the first episode and honestly, I…

So I just watched through Friends the first time with my wife and I gotta say that I find it weird that they live in NYC but never mention 9/11. I get it, it’s supposed to be a lighthearted show but still...

“Moreover, everybody readily understands that shelling the North, or engaging in airstrikes, would instantly invite the shelling of populated areas in the South. Not only would Lee have known this, and never seriously entertained military strikes as a reasonable strategy,”

Why would Gates lie about this? This is a primary source from one of the principal actors. You say you have lived in Korea. Well, so have I. You should know how rabidly anti-NK the South Korean right wing is. I have friends in the ROK Army who grumble about their government’s lack of response every time North Korea…

1. In his memoir.

They weren’t pursued publicly at the time but Robert Gates said later in his memoir that the Obama administration had to talk Lee out of retaliating.

How do you go from “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” to being a Donald Trump fanboy?

We DID almost go to war with North Korea a couple of times during Obama’s presidency but in both cases the administration stepped back from the brink. In 2010 the administration had to talk down ROK president Lee Myung-bak from launching artillery and airstrikes in retaliation for the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan and…

That would be foolish. Why give up a Democratic seat in the Senate like that?

One of the worst was Vic Morrow on the set of the Twilight Zone movie. Morrow and a child actor were decapitated when a pyrotechnic effect cause a helicopter to crash on them.

Bullshit. Tammy Duckworth could beat him.

Obligatory “if you believe that North Korea has any intention of giving up its nuclear deterrent then you are an ignorant fool” post.

Agreed. Much less likely to get extremists of either side on the court.

Yeah, Kavanaugh is full of shit. Lying about his drinking is petty AF unless he is trying to cover for other shitty behavior. Plenty of young people drink to excess and don’t do shitty things and are able to succeed in school or sports or whatever. When I was in the army I attended the Defense Language Institute,…

And yet Bob Menendez still sits in the Senate. Look I get it, the Republicans are worse. They have thrown away any principles they once claimed to have. They have covered for the misdeeds of the most corrupt, incompetent person to ever occupy the White House. That being said, the Democrats are no stranger to…

I don’t think Trump was talking about Washington owning slaves. Maybe he was confusing Washington with Jefferson because as far as I know there are no indications that George Washington was a sexual predator.

The man is an ignorant goon but he is quite charismatic. 

“Perhaps the wildest moment of the press conference came when Trump was asked about the multiple allegations of sexual assault that had been made against him over the years.”

Yeah, I don’t know why they are trying so hard to defend this guy. It’s not like there is a lack of conservative judges out there.

Right, you’re not opposed to authoritarians per se, just authoritarians who espouse an ideology you oppose.
