I used to think Pete was ok-ish at the beginning of this process. Not my top choice, but less offensive than most of the other white dudes with weak name recognition in the race. But he keeps shooting himself in the foot every time he opens his mouth. He needs to just pack it up and go back to South Bend at this…

Admittedly, the series has proven to be willing to stray a bit from the source material. But with the story through Tiamat’s Wrath having been published, there can’t be any “whoops, we got ahead of the books...let’s just wing it” BS that dragged down the last season of GoT.

$25 for a decent men’s cut is pretty much the baseline. You can get one for about about $15 at Supercuts or Great Clips if you’re short on cash...but you’re really rolling the dice. At that price point, you might as well save the $15 (and the stress of looking like a preschooler cut your hair with safety scissors) and…

That explains a lot. It sucks, but it does explain the lack of new content. Thanks.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to dunk on someone for not being particularly political or focused on world events between 9th grade and graduating from college. I know I certainly wasn’t. The priority back then was grades, girls, music and sports...not stuff going on half a world away.

It’s a feature, not a bug. The goal isn’t to help victims (or even defray the costs of the state’s criminal justice system), it’s to keep Jim Crow laws alive without admitting they’re Jim Crow laws.

....and there will also likely be an actual hungry leopard behind the door. Who will also be a deputized police leopard, so striking him (even in self-defense) will be grounds to be charged with assaulting an officer.

Even if you hadn’t read the books, it’s a safe assumption from the first three seasons that they’re not going to let Thomas Jane go to waste on the show.

My money is on it being John Bolton, as one final “up yours” for getting squeezed out.

Being the 9th Doctor was pretty much the high water mark for Eccleston’s acting career. Of course he’s going to get asked about it. Nobody’s really all that interested in his time on Heroes anymore, and lord knows we’d all rather forget The Dark World.

Man, if you had told me 10 years ago how 2017 through today was going to play out, I would have in no way believed it. This is all too weird to be real. Not in a black swan event, aliens-landing-in-Times-Square weird way. But just shocking how completely unshocking something like this is after a couple years of the…

Looks vaguely like Rio from Solo.

There have been state-level wealth taxes in the past that haven’t fallen to Constitutional challenges. Hell, up until about 10 years ago, Florida (hardly a bastion of tax-and-spend liberalism) used to have an “intangible property” tax applied to certain types and levels of investments. The uber-wealthy worked around…

Yeah.  Having the Sham-Wow guy as #2 on the ticket would have been a little too on-the-nose, even for Republicans.

You have a point. Pence may be more palatable as a true believer instead of just a con man parroting the talking points, but he has the electoral appeal of an equivalent mass of bark mulch. Hypocritical as hell, but more likely to buy them another 4 years of packing courts with conservative judges than throwing Trump…

You’d think fundamentalists would be more excited at the prospect of Mike Pence as President. All the malice, sexism, racism and dominist worldview, but with 75% less incoherent rambling and none of the “hush money to strippers to hide affairs” messiness.

Dammit, where are my sonic sunglasses?

Personally, I’m in favor of mass confiscation of modern firearms, and replacement with muskets or flint-lock pistols.

I have been shouting that from the rooftops since the primary got into full circus-spectacular swing.

I get - Joe is awful, for a great many reasons. We need to pick someone better in the primary. Not rocket science, no argument from me there. And the old “normal” did have major flaws. It was less insane and unstable than what we have now, but I get that it didn’t work well for a lot of people.
