It’s not their fault.  They clearly said it’s very far away.

Is there any way to get a UN peacekeeping force in there? A small group of neutral observers to head off any potential he said/she said ambiguity should “things happen”? I see some sailor getting drunk and firing a pistol at an Iranian fisherman, provoking retaliatory fire, and then the missiles start flying with both…

It’s a smart play on the judge’s part, because he knows the Trump will use the courts to appeal and delay right up to SCOTUS if he can.  When you know there are going to be a half dozen other officials examining your ruling, you have to be very specific and leave no room for argument, because it only takes one to…

Kobach is a parasite. He hops from job to job in the public sector making a lot of noise. He produces nothing of value but manages to stoke the worst impulses of Republicans wherever he lands, creating nonexistent threats out of thin air.

As long as they’re able to continue fooling their big tent pillars by throwing them a bone every once in awhile they can maintain a large enough share of the vote to make their continued existence plausible - then voter suppression and gerrymandering get them across the finish line. Working class, anti-choice, and…

I think we have oversight authority over the administration,” said Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.)

Nah. I went through that phase. It’s a tic that develops when your mouth gets ahead of your thoughts and you need a pause to catch up, but then it becomes part of your speech and you have to train it out. You just need time and practice. Shame on the 48 year old for language shaming someone nearly 1/3 his age.

It’s fear of retaliation. They think if they impeach the Republicans will do the same at the drop of a hat.

Counterpoint - American national midterms 2018.

This feels upside down. I realize that marketing is a huge part of a AAA game’s budget, but all the guy pulling 6 figures is doing is playing someone else’s work. What about the people who actually made the game? From what I’ve read, they pull long hours, often overtime without pay, are subject to frequent turnaround,…

“Crap” is hardly even a swear. It’s only slightly more harsh than “dang”.

At a policy level it’s more about strategy. It’s clear that forcing women to bear the children of their rapists is a horrendous, backwards thing to do. But if you exempt the most extreme example you can set precedent and get on the slippery slope. Once you’ve enshrined the sexual slavery of half the population into…

We already do that. Problem is they still take more money in federal spending than they contribute, so even if we never spend a penny within their borders, we’re still supporting them.

“That’s the way I was raised. That’s what my Catholic Christian faith requires,”

You’re in the wrong mindset.  Remember the playbook.  He didn’t need money.  But if he did need money, it would be good.  Someone else needed money.  So he borrowed money.  But there was nothing wrong with that.  It made him smart.

This is wrong.  Milkshakes are supposed to bring the boys to the yard.

Does this guy know something we don’t?  Does Lamborghini have some secret contest where if you drop kick a Mr. Universe you get a free car?

I’m reading the first book now and pretty early on a mean man twists his sister’s nipple so she won’t complain about being banged by a mercenary for political gain. I’m guessing the live show has a lot more purple nurples.

Fruit is way too polite a term for Trump.

if every student is part of the public, then every way and every place a student learns is ultimately of benefit to the public
