Obama's drone strikes are terrible - unforgivable, really - but I have to hand him enormous credit for keeping us of at least four likely unwinnable wars which even a lot of other Democrats might have gotten us into if they were in his position.

"we destabilized Syria and Libya"

BLM have spoken out against police violence against innocent white people, too, when even white Americans have stayed silent about those incidents. It's not like they're even just focusing on black lives only.

"The number of young black men unfairly killed by cops is a statistical blip (a horrifying blip..but still a relatively small number)"

The original pilot animation made them look even more like human worms than the final show did: https://www.buzzfeed.com/st…

"You've earned it*.
* "It" referring to some kind of good thing accruing to another person."

What you're missing is that most people who will *call* themselves "conservative" are actually far more wingnut than conservative. Conservatives will acknowledge that money isn't everything. A person who takes pride in *being conservative* would consider acknowledging that fact an act of blasphemy.

"Also Bush is, quietly, still well liked by many conservatives."

So what you're saying is that these people and this protest weren't, in fact, actually part of Black Lives Matter at all.

… considering that Gipsy Danger was dropped into an alternate dimension and then detonated as a makeshift bomb, I'd be a bit surprised if it DID appear in the sequel.

"as Excalibur demonstrated, if you go the "dark and gritty and 'realistic'" route you leech away much of the unique character from the stories and are left with generic historical fantasy"

There are a lot of problems with Pacific Rim, but none of them detract from how much damn fun it is, which is really all that counts.

No, they're civil wars and we should be actively working to prevent the loss of human life and bring them to a peaceful conclusion with the most minimal loss of human life possible.

Honey, she's not my candidate. I kinda hate her. I've always been fully in the tank for Bernie, and I still am, but i realize that he's no longer one of the candidates available to choose from, so I'm going with the next best thing.

Your call for nonpartisan mockery of both parties makes the false assumption that both parties are equally deserving of mockery.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

I kind of despise leftists who oppose American military actions even when those actions are beneficial to the people of another country.

I mean, working at the same Starbucks since graduating from high school 10 years ago is a pretty solid reason for voting for Bernie: the service industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors, and those jobs are looked down, but many people are going to be forced to spend much of their lives employed in places like…

"Replace Ethiopia with Syria and Austria with Iran and you're closer to the truth than you realize."

"Foot" makes sense because a foot is about the length of an adult's foot. What's so bizarre about a "stone" is that is used alongside pounds but which almost no one outside the British Isles has ever even heard of.
