People from New York? You mean east coast liberal elites? We know how to treat what they tell us, don't we?

Unicorn/Claus 2020.

I don’t think “let it slide” was the point of the article. It was “none of these things should be a sports league’s business, but since the NFL can’t help sticking its nose in it’s going to be hilarious to watch it fuck up a politically loaded situation it really ought to leave well alone.”

Or Guesthouse Paradiso, where Rik Mayall’s character was called Richard Twat (pronounced “Thwait”.

I would also very much like to see a follow up to that episode, if they could somehow make it about 20 years or so ago ie before The Simpsons became shit.

Probably best not bother, hey? Just let the war criminals get on with it and don’t even try to hold them to account.

You’re so right. We should all be equally concerned about the shocking behaviour of President Antifa and worry that the millions who voted for him in 2016 still can’t see how damaging his actions will be to the functioning of government for years to come.

I hear you, brother/sister. I’m British, and everything you say re Clinton was exactly what we experienced with Blair.

So you’re sort of on the fence about a Schultz vote?

Beautifully put... apart from the bit about staying home on election day.

So how do you enforce this exile from mainstream society except by government in one form or another? It's easy to say there's "too much government", but who's going to do anything about people who don't want to vaccinate their children *or* live out of everyone else's way in a compound or, as it might be called,…

Then you can ask them to explain the concept of Lebensraum without reference to nationalism and watch their brains shut down.

That 73% of Republicans are in favour stat is horrible for Trump. His tactic, in so far has he has one, is to pander exclusively to his base and hope to walk that very, very narrow tight rope to re-election. Anything he does that isn’t about 90%+ popular with Republicans is catastrophic for him. A few thousand…

Also you don’t understand how opinion polls work you dopey twat.

No it really doesn’t. “Access journalism” means putting people and their positions on the record. It needs to be done better, but not asking politicians to state their position at all would only make things worse.

You seem like the kind of guy who’d know: what time is the Superbowl?

Australian resident here. Hello! I firmly believe the compulsory vote is the biggest factor that has stopped Australia falling into the trap of hard right populism that has polluted the US and UK. It’s not that there’s a shortage of elderly racists here (looking at you, Queensland!) or vile, opportunistic politicians…

Nah. Come the next election the Republicans will say the Foxconn plant definitely would have produced 13,000 jobs if only the Democrats hadn’t come in and (vaguely, never really explained precisely how) ruined it.
