Darned Kinja not easily marking threads... my post was meant to ask about the previous poster’s co-worker, not Trump. Sorry about the lack of clarity.

I mean, Dean Cain... he’s right there. He’s even been recently on a vaguely related topical show...

That’s fine, there may still be opportunistic passers-by. Just ask Dick Cheney.

Did he have any comment when Obama visited NJ after Sandy, and making a public point not to visit during to avoid causing interruptions in relief efforts, which he had approved about as soon as it became clear which scenario, and which areas it was going to hit?

Ambiguous, sure, since “for the ratings” could apply to either “during a hurricane”, which is what he said, or “pardoned Arpaio”, which isn’t. It’s defensible, though, to have that sort of headline. Not ideal, but defensible.

Came here for comments on shooting stance and grip, was not disappointed. Maybe he quietly idolizes those 90s ganstas...

Then it goes into surplus police auctions, right?

I’m not convinced that the response will be a failure on the level of Katrina, especially given that 1) Texas has, generally, a better reputation of taking care of itself, 2) the admin is pre-seeding a “this is bigger than FEMA can handle” just in case, and 3) the functioning head of FEMA isn’t a new admin appointee,…

Sure, but picking Scientology as the subject was intentional, for effect. You picked it for a reason, presumably that Scientology is accepted by some countries and groups to be pretty destructive to some/most of its members, and reportedly a scam devised by Hubbard more or less with that intent. I don’t know if Jung…

It may as well be initially posited as a framing device, as Madeline notes that Barnham wrote, that it’s immaterial whether or not the audience chooses to believe in the literal version that it happened to a previous version of me. That’s probably the sticking point for some, that the label on the box is that this is…

... and that it “worked”, inasmuch as they won, though their process of putting the actual ideological discussions waaay before the primaries got them hooked to container ship full of canned surstromming.

Going severely OT, but... I kind of wonder if there are actual back channels for communication with Russia now, under fairly solid cover, via Syria cooperation. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-syria-military-idUSKCN1B32SU

Yeah, although the quality of Gina Carano’s movies varies...

So there’s this thing in American English where one says “you”, where in British English one says “one”. I don’t know the history of that, but it leads to lots of confusion. I think some of that is happening here. Ditch your assumptions so far, read it again, point out where I complain that I myself am too dumb to…

And why Bill Clinton was lauded as a speaker - he spoke intelligently, and then broke it down into simpler terms to speak to everyone. Obama was even better at the former, but wasn’t always great at the latter.

Cool. Twenty years ago, visiting the internment camps made me sad. Seeing the coolie made me sad. Now, the internment camp makes me feel resolute, and determined to see those who would repeat it fail. Seeing the coolie nowadays makes me annoyed. I would have said the original intent was probably for the first…

One more time. How did the statuary help educate me, assuming that I was actually uninformed? That’s the point, right? Or was your point that the artwork serves to make those who already understand feel better about understanding?

Could someone superimpose themselves over either of those pictures offensively, sure. Is that enough of a problem to consider how it could be addressed in perpetuity? I don’t know. Raging at someone who wants to consider that, maybe that’s helpful, too? I have doubts as to whether or not the San Fran Holocaust…

Cool. Cool. On the other side of the border, where our education system no longer covers it very well, the assumption that everyone just knows falls apart. As you’re assuming applies to me, which is the point. You also seem to be assuming that I’m uncomfortable because my heritage is on one side of this debate. It…
