    Exactly this - the way to attack Trump is to ridicule him, or make him look weak or silly. The phrase "dangerous Donald" is painfully bad: it might be a good appeal to certain, more cautious voters. But those voters already weren't going to attack him. Reinforcing in the others that he's a dangerous, bold, manly

    Also it's not even obvious what to do about Trump. Point at the latest thing he said and go "…what"? Try to come up with mean but, honestly, kind of pointless and childish thing about him ("Drumpf")?

    Knocking someone out basically requires sedating them, and the line between "unconscious" and "dead" is a pretty narrow one*. (That's why anaesthesiology is a really tricky thing.) If you're just pumping gas into somewhere then (1) you really have no way to control the dosage at all, and (2) you certainly don't have

    In the same situation I'd say those are the ones who intentionally act misogynistic/dismissive/etc., and that the rest of us act that way too (hopefully less frequently/consistently) just not intentionally.

    The fact that Stein needs to occasionally fuse into Firestorm or he'll die is something you'd think he'd remember before jettisoning Jackson into the timestream and traveling off to another place entirely.

    Or the founder of the Time Lords.

    The bit with the scotch sort of cracked me up because they probably should have looked it up first. Before the phylloxera epidemic (culminating in the late 1800s) Scotch whisky was not what you'd call a prestige or, well, good liquor. It really only started to take off as something other than Scotch moonshine after

    What I really like about it is how the self realizations for the characters don't immediately change the way they behave either. Oliver has clearly been getting better about it, being less secretive and so on. But he still does it, because habits don't shift overnight.

    After he took the first one he might have kept taking them because they ordered him too until eventually he didn't need to to be under their control. That has to happen at some point given what we've seen of the ghosts, but it's not clear when/how.

    About 10 months after we first saw that shot of the frigging cornfield,
    and with a handful of episodes left to go, we finally know the
    antagonist's motivation for his evil shenanigans!

    Soldiers might get a pass during wartime for killing people, but it's just as much a sign of darkness as in anyone else. It's one they have to condition people for, at length, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

    And that she had no memory of how she got there!

    I feel like we saw that not work more often than it did on the show.

    Everyone stops thinking clearly on a puzzling Legends Of Tomorrow

    This confused me as well.

    It's possible, though I feel like that would be pretty out of character too.

    The Machine could use pneumatic tubes running through the city! Pneumatic tubes!!

    I found the episode a bit annoying because it spent nearly the full episode building up to Barry finally deciding to undergo the experiment when it was very obvious that he would make that decision right from the get-go.

    And an awful lot of people who would have died haven't as well. Samaritan is creepy and a bad idea, but it's worth remembering that unlike the Machine is actually does have an ability to point resources at normal level dangers and problems that extends past "occasional ambiguously worded message to a reclusive

    I still remember how the NSA banned them from their buildings because they were afraid they would learn and repeat classified information.
