Yep. There's no other explanation for someone who has committed their life to serving the country might think kneeling during the anthem is kind of dumb, even if it's protected speech. Must be bigotry.

SCOTUS Casting:

Yeah. Hardcore social conservatives and those whose views veer into ethnonationalism certainly have an ideological affinity for the current government. But Neocons might not, partly because Putin is adverse to the Western Alliance and allies with all the governments they hate. Also because they'd be loath to actually…

I'm not sure the reason they don't want to credit it is because it's in their electoral interests, at least not entirely. Accepting that they're the beneficiaries of Kremlin assistance means they'd have to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: the Russian government thinks they're a bunch of stooges they can manipulate.…

When has she proven she is? Which I think is the important question when labeling someone as X. If anything Taylor Swift is just a shallow entertainer who has some blind spots created by wealth and privilege. That doesn't make her right wing or left wing. People also have this weird desire to project ideologies on…

So are most entertainers. I guess they're all far right too.

I don't think Taylor Swift is far right. I don't think she has any ideology at all.

What? Having colonial empire that spanned the globe means that people from the former colonies will have connections with the former colonizer and decide to live there? Who knew!

"The projects I grew up in was named after Zachary Taylor, generally considered to be one of the worst presidents of all time!"

Maybe there should be an actual laugh test for comedies?

SNL actually did a really good sketch making fun of the sad comedy:

If it's 30 minutes it's a comedy apparently.

I don't really have anyone else in mind (except Kaitlin Olson for Sunny because) at the moment, but Supporting Comedy Actress appears to have not cast a wide net. Three SNLs? And two Transparents? Really?

It's not the killing that bothers me as much as the copy. Does it have to be a copy? Can't it be a better version?

Odo wouldn't be a Trump supporter. He inherently believes in justice and order. Trump is a big old ball of chaos.

If telecoms are worried about the fact that the content providers don't bear much cost for the infrastructure they pay for, regulating them like a utility might actually help alleviate that problem because the rate formula would take that into account while at the same time trying to be as fair as possible to…

I don't know about that. Look at the other Republican FCC Commissioner.

Even from a corporate cronyism perspective this makes no sense for Republicans generally to support. Other than Ajit Pai, who literally worked for Verizon, there seems to be very little incentive to align themselves with basically 5 ISP companies against pretty much every other tech company and some others. But even…

Fair enough. But isn't there a sense of agony about being strung along for so long regarding the end?

I'm very glad I only started the series in 2014 and finished Dance last year. It would have been terrible if I had read and enjoyed the series from the beginning.
