I love the idea of Vladimir Putin walking out of a meeting with Trump just sweating bullets muttering to himself “Man I was really out-prepared in there, that guy was on TOP of it...”

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m on Meghan’s side here. What, the ENTIRE WORLD isn’t allowed to talk about the biggest TV show in history because you’re 6 years behind? Catch the fuck up. You can do it in a long weekend.

What’s most baffling about King Bran is that the show very purposefully left him out of ENTIRE SEASONS. The reasoning for him being king is that he has the BEST story but during this entire epic period of Westeros there were years and years where he wasn’t up to anything particularly interesting? Meanwhile virtually…

I’m dying on this hill: Gendry’s going to be king.

Dude’s name is HARRY. STRICKLAND. That’s the actual character’s name in this fantasy world. HARRY. STRICKLAND. Harry Strickland is not staring down a magical dragon on the field of battle. Harry Stickland has the 2nd biggest Hyundai dealership in Toledo.

Anyone who doesn’t vote for Pope Thrower is objectively wrong.

Except, the writers didn’t want it to be tragic for her? Or they would have written it that way? As corny as it sounds they really have been setting up the Insanity Gene theory since the very beginning. Genetics have always played a big role in this show, all the way down to the color of people’s hair setting off…

I am not a fan of Biden in particular and I DEFINITELY do not want him to be the nominee, but this kind of stuff this early is scary. What happens if the moderates in the party end up nominating him? Is the left media going to write eye roll blogs about every centrist platitude that comes out of his mouth during the…

Your politics must be fascinating. Do you have any literature I could read?

This IS politics. Buttigieg agrees with Bernie that a national single payer system is ideal. They just disagree on precisely how to get there, or at least how to talk about getting there 18 months before the election. Bernie chooses to hammer on the end goal, knowing that the reality will be slower and more…

“This is pretty stupid, since only 16 percent of the public gets their insurance on the exchange.”

All of these (except the power cable, which is also bad) are production problems that are either impossible or VERY expensive to fix in post. The coffee cup was more egregious because it could literally have been fixed with about an hour of work in conform which costs all of a couple hundred dollars at most. Which…

I’m honestly having a hard time imagining where this goes from here. It is now canon that if you grab a strangle hold of the 35% of the country that would vote for a child molester so long as he (of COURSE he) said bad things about brown people then the mainstream Republican apparatus will tie itself into a pretzel 24…

This is a bit over-simplistic. Yes, the odds are in the house’s favor in gaming, but the prices are in the house’s favor at a restaurant too. Every business is DESIGNED to make money. The extent to which you DO make money on them depends on a whole bunch of things, mostly overhead cost and customer traffic. That being…

1. He’s an excellent communicator and I think that he could do a fantastic job of explaining Warren’s detailed policy positions in a way I’m not sure other candidates could. Where I think he has been lacking so far is in concrete policy, and that’s where Warren is clearly the strongest.

tldr

Is Elizabeth Warren a snivelling centrist?

I’m more and more impressed with Warren, and I already really liked her. I think she could have won in 2016 if she didn’t sit it out. I’m starting to think a Warren/Buttigieg ticket might be what I want to see.

That’s all fair. But I do think that different approach might require some political tact that Bernie...lacks.

Hey, if Bernie wins the nomination it’ll be because he convinced a lot of people, quite possibly myself included, that he can win by embracing the label. I’m just not sold as of 18 months out. The term still polls VERY poorly even among young voters. And Bernie had plenty of time in 2016 to work his magic and turn…
