Best American President of the past almost 40 years. Carter was arguably better. That's it.

Are you saying Eminem is an example of “somebody of white culture would repay the favor and not become an embarrassment to his reputation or black music culture”? I always thought he was fairly well regarded in the hip hop community.

Even if he’s just making excuses for shitty behavior, his excuse still has to make sense or seem plausible to him. So far you haven’t offered any countervailing theory for what he means, beyond saying my theory is wrong. So we’re supposed to believe that Pharrell said something in his own defense that he himself…

It goes to show just how extreme and over the line the conduct has to be, and how preposterously/absurdly clear and easy to obtain the evidence must be, in order for people of color to receive even a crude facsimile of the sort of justice white people get. I can see the asshats on my facebook now: “I don’t know what…

Assuming “older”, as used by Pharell in the interview, refers to seniors (as opposed to simply women who are out of their teens or 20's), the fact is that Tipper Gore (i.e., the older white woman I name checked) is 71. In other words, the literal, actual women who very publically went to war against so-called “filthy”…

He probably used to think that older white women were going to be the primary antagonists to a song which he seems to have considered racy. So,Tby that logic, if the older white women were digging the song, no one else could possibly have taken umbrage.

Cases like this one is why I’m basically a single-issue voter in Presidential elections—given the power POTUS has to shape the Supreme Court, the stakes are just too high to ever vote for third parties in a fit of pique. Vote as bloc, or live with the results. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are not people I want weighing in on…

More like she’s going to be put in the SHU and probably won’t get a whole of contact with other people, which is its own kind of hard. And whatever time she is exposed to others will very likely be filled with anxiety over being attacked.

The Second Circuit (which is the circuit that controls in New York) already basically ruled that it was unconstitutional for Donald Trump as a government official to block people on Twitter since he uses Twitter to conduct government business. The issue turns on whether she's using her Twitter for government business;…

I hope each day feels longer than the last for her.

The House opening articles of impeachment is the right thing to do, if only because it’s the House’s constitutional responsibility to do so whenever and wherever they deem impeachment is warranted, regardless of whether they think the Senate is likely to convict (i.e., the fact someone else is failing at their sworn…

Good luck erasing a bunch of literature, cuisine, music, tradition, language, etc., I guess. I mean, call it what you want, that shit is going to exist.

I liked Mike just fine, and he seems like a really good guy—certainly too good for Bachelor nation—but he makes for some boring TV. The fact that there was so little coverage of his time in Paradise tells me he probably didn’t give them much to work with in the way of engaging content.

Question for someone knowledgeable about Canadian politics: What are the odds that the people so offended by this scandal that they’re no longer supporting Trudeau, will benefit more from Trudeau’s main opponent’s policies than they would have from Trudeau’s policies?

“And I find that very startling from a group of people that claim to be the champions of women empowerment.”

law&fastfoodorder pretty accurately summarized the major plot points of the movie above... no, they’re not the exact same movie, but they are uncannily similar. Having said that, I think Booksmart will age better.

Someone above explains why it is that would have been illegal under the circumstances—something about how some law that applies ADA-type regs to flying treats service and support animals as being the same and prevents moving the disabled person and/or animal for aovariety of reasons including other people’s allergies.

That’s just pragmatic. Proactive, front-line PR. 

“or they were counting on the outrage for cheap publicity[.]”

Spoiler alert: this will be a 5-4 decision holding the discrimination as Constitutionally permissible.
