Not to be rude or disrespectful, but does the “I don’t like thing/why do people like thing?” comment ever need to get made?

The difference is irrelevant and the premise is fully broken. So what, one sibling can’t pursue a career because the other got in to office? Okay, by that standard Hillary should never been a senator or Secretary of State since her husband was a former president, Chelsea should never have gotten a job..anywhere, and…

I’ll buy that, if Senator Bennett ends up making a meaningful run of it, that his brother being editorial editor of the NYT should probably stop. Not sure I buy that he can’t have that job if his brother is a Senator from Colorado though. But besides all that, plenty of honest people in many fields will tell you that…

Why should someone have to quit their career just because some completely different person in their family decides to go into politics? He said he’d recuse himself. 

So if one of your relatives runs for federal office and wins down the line, you’re going to quit your job too?

it would suck if because my brother held a public office i would always be relegated to the minor leagues in my career. 

if i’m a reporter none of my siblings can ever run for public office without it costing my job?

Why are people being so shitty towards something that’s going to radically change the industry for the better?

Ooh, some hard-hitting questions. Sloan was having a real bad time up there, wasn’t he? I guess he’ll just have to wipe his tears with hundreds as he flies back home on a private jet, comforted by the knowledge that not a single thing is going to change substantially for at least two more years.

Whoa! whoa! whoa! Get those facts out of here! Our President got opinions!!!

In “there’s no such thing as a balanced, nuanced opinion anymore” news, the “Ford can fuck off” quote for stating their healthcare costs is a bit much. I was planning to read and support a UAW post pertaining to fighting over GM closing plants while moving jobs to Mexico (Blazer production), then I see a kid that is…

I hate how they include “gas savings” into the purchase price too. An operational savings shouldn’t be shown as affecting the purchase price. But at least be honest about your criticism, Tesla does post the actual price; it’s just obscured and only shown in the lower left hand corner, not plastered everywhere else…

There is if you write a politics blog that relies on hot takes and gut reactions for its traffic.

BTW, there really is no point in gettting mad at every politician who pays lip service to bipartisanship.

Art vs artist etc. Your only comment about the film itself is that it’s highly fictionalized, which I don’t mind. Social Network was highly fictionalized along with other based on a true story films that are awesome.

I believe the point of the shoutout was that Viggo signing on basically got the movie a greenlight.

Yeah, I’ve learned the hard way not to go to the one with the shortest line.

It’s the simple fact that consumer tablets have cameras, and it’s cheaper to buy existing tablets than to pay extra to have them redesigned and manufactured without cameras.

I mean, public support has shifted, but that ignores Senate/House dynamics. If you did polling by state (An essential thing to do when trying to benchmark probable federal legislative success) I suspect you’d not find “majority” support for medicare-for-all. You might be able to cobble together a coalition in favor of…

Public option was/is a politically expedient stepping stone to single payer. It isn’t a dumb idea. It’s smart politics. When you don’t have the votes for radical change, you keep the ball rolling. That’s fucking progress. It turns out, they didn’t even have the votes for the public option, but somehow the votes for…
