Only two? Perhaps taking the third into alt-right, tea-party hands will help...

“I’d never build a golf course there. Terrible. Terrible opportunity, just terrible. It’s because of those people, the Indians, you know the ones, they made it a disaster. Sinking into the ocean. Worst thing you ever saw. But I love the people there, wonderful people, the best. They all voted for me, you know,…

The American People are the boss of their government officials, right? Or is that only when a Democrat holds the office in question? Am I Fox Newsing wrong?

What I’ve been hearing is either because it will “hurt the nation” (in some unspecified way that is implied to be more than the nation is being hurt already), or that “these things take time to get right” (to let all potential parties involved dig as big a hole for themselves as possible, wherein the hole is…

uhh... yes?

FWIW, I own the Criterion edition of this movie, it’s still in my downtimes movie playlist. Just because it isn’t the original poster’s spirit guide for handling cross-cultural issues doesn’t mean it can’t still be good and meaningful in other ways.

That’s a hot take on it. I mean, it ends with “... leaving this decision up to you.” It’s like saying that saying Thomas the Tank Engine illustrates some aspects of fascist models is saying that Thomas the Tank Engine is horrible, where it’s primarily being used to illustrate as an example of a cultural point, not…

I guess I’m missing the point of your reply, then. Was the “uhh...” of disagreement with some point of the original post, or “uhh...” of agreement with some point of the original post, or what? I don’t know what having friends of all backgrounds or not has much to do with the movie, or the analysis in the original…

That doesn’t mean that they would’ve strongly identified with you, yeah? It’s not like it’s a bad movie, it’s still quite good, but it’s not as if the characters are themselves paragons of virtue or ideals to strive to become. Like whether Godot exists, that’s besides the point.

Something about her dad being way over the line weird, yeah?

In lieu of a systematic setup like the BBC, donate, and donate hard to NPR, PBS, PRI, and other non-profit news organizations. It’s far closer to the historical for-profit newspapers than what you’re (possibly accurately) projecting.

Indeed. Why isn’t this one of the related articles for this?

Voting is still preferable to the alternative, which is either give up your portion of authority, or take back your portion of authority with more force. At least so long as votes are actually counted properly, and not subjected to bizarre maths.

Sure... but this would be about 20 pizzas in an hour, since a largish pizza is roughly a pound.

Kinda wish we had half as high a bar as the east for public figures, some days. The other days, I wish they’d meet us halfway. Philippines notwithstanding.

In my experience, usually the latter.

I think it’s because that shouldn’t be the sole standard for a government official. Even beyond the civil court standard of weight of evidence, elected officials should be held to a higher standard, closer to “should have no substantiated evidence to indicate the possibility of a conflict of interest” towards the…

Indeed. There wasn’t quite a “have you no shame” moment, but this was definitely not like a HUAC hearing.

Even assuming that that was the case for all of them, the same could be said for white male drivers with the same problems, but fewer stops and arrests. Either apply the law evenly to everyone, or get to a point where you can do so. Not feeling empathy for the one should in this case equate to needing to push a…

How about drunk or texting?
