I don’t trust these writers for a second with sexual assault, but I do think the idea with Bran was not to show her how powerful he is, but to show us how confused and inhuman he’s becoming as he gets overwhelmed with all the information he has. He see’s whatever is shaping the people in front of him, not their…

Absolutely all of them should embrace single payer as the goal - but this year, right now, actual human people are stuck with deductibles and premiums so high they basically arent insured, and the only way to help them is to work with Republicans. Of course that’s what Democrats should then be doing right now, because…

What exactly is your point? Because the US Bill of Rights is so great, we should not care that people in other places aren’t afforded its protections? Because the US Bill of Rights is so great, people who grow up in countries that don’t have it should then not have those rights honored when they move to countries that…

I specifically said it’s *not* ok to ban crosses. It’s a violation of religious and human rights. I simply think that the cross ban isn’t evidence of equality of effect on different religions (which people often use it as an excuse for), and the inherent inequality of the examples given shows that. Wearing a cross has…

That’s not the point -the point is that Christians know they are safe in England, and safe to practice in whatever way they choose and discuss their faith and live it out without fear of being kept from job opportunities, or faced with violence on the street. It’s still an abrogation of their basic rights to ban…

It doesn’t matter if crosses are banned if you live in a society filled with cathedrals where all dress norms have already been formed by people of Christian and white ancestry, and schools are shaped by historical Anglican priorities. Those kids already won the heritage and dress game of privilege, and weirdly these…

Yeah! She should totally reveal her face for security reasons to security officials when asked to!

Yeah, it’s just super coincidental that this set of rules only inhibits the movements of a group of people already widely discriminated against in that country. What a weird happenstance!!

Nope! People get to wear what they want to wear and banning hoodies is usually racist or classist, and banning burkas and headscarves is both racist and religiously discriminatory. Call me when they ban golf visors and the Queen’s big damn hats. The US government, while frequently populated by individuals who have a…

I was President of a co-ed service frat, and still would support this 100%. There’s just nothing we did that wouldn’t be just as easy to do as a non-Greek registered student organization.

Our school system already profoundly failed you, so now let’s require you to risk your life in the military or have no chance to ever increase your income.

UUs are lovely, but they are not a Christian sect and don’t identify as such, and plenty of UU congregations or individuals wouldn’t say they believe in a compassionate, merciful God because they don’t believe in any God or believe in multiple gods. If that’s the theological style and diversity original poster is…

I like Spike Lee and there may be more to the series than this trailer, but in this at least the men are popping with clear personalities and she’s sort of...bland? Hope she and the series are more interesting than this would indicate.

I know they usually pick someone who is in the top three or whatever, but I would watch Kenny as the next Bachelor and I’ve never watched this show before. He’s great.

I think they think that if they don’t do something that they can sell as repealing ACA they will get primaried by even rightier rightists and lose because their base is increasingly angry, isolated, and purist in its inclinations. Which is a terrible and cowardly and awfully short-term reason to do something that will…

She literally identifies as gay in the same quote you are referencing.

Driverless car fleets also have the potential to dramatically transform the lives of people with disabilities and the elderly, offering consistency of autonomy and access where previously they would have been incredibly expensive. Anything I can do to speed that along I’m good with.

I just hope one of them has a hatchet.

I believe people can be rehabilitated, and that there is no knowing from afar what kinds of tortures or psychological pressures were visited upon her as a child that influenced her actions. But letting someone live and rebuild their life and letting them regularly volunteer with children of an age they previously…

I have zero law enforcement expertise but my read is that Comey is all about covering his own ass and protecting the reputation of the FBI against perceived bias. That has led him to dumb unfair decisions like informing the public about minor moves in the Clinton investigation but not major ones in the Trump…
