Remember folks, Trump bypassed Congress when he put up those tariffs, something he shouldn’t have been able to do, but was able to do because of an old law from 1962 that said the president could put tariffs on countries that the president considered a risk to national security. Today, Trump publicly admitted he was…

I hate the myth of rugged individualism because it makes people selfish and think people who are struggling are not trying hard enough. Not everyone has the same access to resources. Some places are closed to people. Honestly, working hard does not always mean you’re going to become a “success.”

Two things.

Lots of shows don’t need to exist. However, much like books, people can consume what they like. Variety is the spice of life.

Yeah that’s just too rational, better to just burn it with fire before it can reach its second form.

Wah. Wah. Don’t support it. Move on. It’s always something.

Are people being forced to watch this show?

Here is a crazy idea watch the series before calling for it to be cancelled. Also from what I read about the series this doesn’t seem like fat shaming at all, it seems like the opposite of it.

The dem establishment is a lot more scared of her than the republicans are because she’s poised to upend the proverbial apple cart. Republicans aren’t worried because folks who voted for her would never have voted for them anyway, but to the old guard that was responsible for sandbagging Bernie she poses a serious…

I know she’s new to the game but that was a huge walk back. If you have the balls to support Palestine (so few if any politicians do) you cannot waffle on it. I was So dissappointed when she did that bc to me it signalled that she is perhaps more of the same. In 20 years folks won’t be afraid to call what's happening…

The Oswalt thing (the part I heard, at least) was over a series of split tweet jokes. They weren’t bad at all- the joke was “What if this was taken out of context! It would sound opposite!”

James Gunn TOLD HIS EMPLOYER about the old tweets when he first got the job. He explained what the intent was and didn’t hide it. Why the fuck are they firing him NOW? This shit is so wild. 

I’m honestly less interested in their defense of Gunn than I am in the fact that it appears to be a coordinated move—one that could ultimately lead to Gunn getting his old job back.

“the fact that it appears to be a coordinated move”

‘Coordinated’ in that the story came out and then people who know him and have worked extensively with him and love him came to his defense?

I mean, it shouldn’t be difficult to draw the line.

Barr: The joke was that she thinks Black People are like monkeys. That’s it. There aren’t other levels.

Gunn: The joke is that a pedophile casually admitting to being a pedophile on twitter would be ridiculous, ergo funny. I mean, it’s not, the joke isn’t funny, but…

This was a right wing hit job on Gunn and it worked. https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-gunns-firing-from-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-is-a-disastrous-win-for-right-wing-mobs

Good, Gunn SHOULD get his job back. He has spoken about his history of really bad humor a few times, including during interviews during the first GotG. The fact that Disney let him go because of a Gamergate troll is them overcompensating for knowing about HW for decades and turning the other cheek.

agree with everything you said except for amy failing him. uhhh, what does she have to do with this? she didn’t fail him, he’s just terrible. him and rob lowe were both fantastic on that show, and they both suck as people.

It’s not about being consistent, it’s about eliminating your enemies.

So republicans are offended by sexual assault jokes but are fine with ACTUAL SEX CRIMES.
