Ya, no petting the dog was the demand I found wierd. I’m not going out of my way to pet a dog, but if your dog comes up to me looking for a pat, I don’t care if you are ARE the king of England.  No dog petting is a good rule for people who have adopted aggressive shelter dogs, but that shouldn't be the royal family.

Hunter had maybe the best campaign coverage of all. His call that Nixon had sold the Republican party out to Reagan and the Dixiecrats was spot on.

I mean, they do that sometimes, like when the gangs drove up avacado prices some blamed the rise in price on avacado prices, which made sense.  But it wasn't any three percent, avacados went way up for a bit...

It is a pretty hot take, it’s not that unrealistic that people give things uncreative names, like New York or einsteinium or Newfoundland. You may not like it, but on a scale of movie improbability it would hardly rate. Engineers in the real world used unobtanium to describe overly expensive nonsense before avatar…

There are, but you will miss a lot. I mean obviously willful ignorance is doing pretty well in America today, but it’s annoying to people who like to know stuff...

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

Which made Aocs reply that she KNOWS the government of the country she comes from is terrible, and she IS trying to fix it quite good IMO.

It could be to her libertarian/smart left vs her authoritarian/corrupt left...

While a prosecutor, Grace was reprimanded by the Supreme Court of Georgia for withholding evidence and for making improper statements in a 1997 arson and murder case. The court overturned the conviction in that case and found that Grace’s behavior “demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness…

I don’t know, the original story where she gets dumped and dies is pretty good but very sad IMHO. It’s when you tack happy ending on what is supposed to be a morality tale warning not to bet everything that some random hot dude will love and take care of you forever that you end up with that nonsense. Like the boy who…

I don’t think that’s the kind of busing Biden opposes though, to be fair to him. Forced busing is taking kids from schools where their parents want them to attend and busing them to schools their parents don’t want them to go to. The parents often IMO have good reasons for not wanting that. Busing kids to schools…

There is a system update available, but he can't access it because he made fun of the server for being gay...

Cause it’s rural America running things these days and not rich coastal elites? Which farm did Trump come from?  Who was the last rural president?  Carter?  Whose solar panels were removed from the White House when Reagan took over...  Trump and Reagan are NY and CA.

Ya, I agree the polls hurt Hillary, but 538 were pretty accurate I felt. It was those clowns at Princeton who had her at 99%. A bunch of media outlets had her in the 90s. I was following 538 who I trusted more and was like “30% chance of a Trump presidency isn’t a time to be smug at ALL!”. I felt like people were…

Maybe averted if he had shown up like a boy scout or all set to go camping? I guess these days concentration camps are in, but don’t know how even he could pull that off...

What did 538 do so wrong?

Especially in the context of a primary debate.  The I'm not here to make friends or look good, I just want to win the money worked for Trump, but virtue signaling is what they are supposed to be doing.

That was my take too.  I think he was saying females need access to abortion and birth control whether they are women or men or whatever.  I was briefly confused but it seems like a good thought.

Ya, they made all kinds of stupid mistakes, unqualified people, not enough guys, poor training for the mission, intentionally not nation building. It was perhaps predictable, but I and I think a lot of people didn’t predict it. I wasn’t a big war supporter, but I didn’t expect it to be as terrible as it turned out to…

Also, Iraq had been a thorn in our side for a while and Saddam was a dick. I sincerely thought we could set up a better government than that clown, we have all kinds of money and academics and a huge comically well funded military and all sorts of stuff that should IMO allow us to set up a half decent government in…
