Yeah, I actually liked it a lot, especially because it was a risky move on SNL's part. I'm surprised that they didn't axe it for a sketch for Alec Baldwin just shouts a lot. But clearly they were mocking him by implying that his Presidency is over in the same way that Clinton's campaign was.

Don't forget Mick Foley.

I was under the impression that he spoke at both conventions as part of a pro-voting drive? Don't know for sure, I've just seen people say that other times this has been brought up.

I think that the focus on personality in the US has less to do with them being the embodiment of the nation and more to do with a sense of them being "one of us".

Really? Honestly I found the Sanders supporters to be a little more cultish. And I come down pretty much in the middle on this one - I didn't particularly like either candidate. But usually the message I got from Clinton supporters was that we needed to be pragmatic and stick together and usually mostly boring…

You just criticized the United States for not standing up to dictators, but then in the very next sentence attacked the idea of a no-fly zone. You said that removing Assad would result in the genocide of ethnic minorities, yet Assad himself is a mass murderer of his own people (though I will concede that his crimes…

My only regret is that Trump is President.

Oh boy. Objectivism. The school of thought that claims individual self-interest is always justified and cannot be infringed. And yet didn't think to come up with an answer to the question "can individual self-interest justify infringing the individual self-interest of others?" Also, literally names itself after…

Capitalism means private ownership of the means of production. Market Economics is where you start getting into return on investment. There are situations in Capitalist systems in which ownership is more important than market dynamics, such as a monopoly, where price-setting allows the monopolist to prevent the…

Three. Don't forget Steve Bannon.

Wait, I didn't hear about that. What happened?

I mean, you could argue that Kickstarter is sort of anarcho-capitalist. Frankly, that explains a lot of the stupid things that I see on there.

I wouldn't describe this as a victory so much as mitigated attrition.

I completely agree with you, but on the flip side, when you run a major government agency there really isn't an excuse for poor judgement.

I think that CBE and some of the enlisted are the only people in the entire government that have remotely positive feelings towards him right now. He's even alienated the traditionally conservative parts of the bureaucracy.

They were one vote short, but it passed anyway. Betsy Devoss abstained because counting the sections of the Constitution comes too close to "education" for her.

Unfortunately, Conservatives thought that our country was going the way of Macbeth.

I think that what Comey did was extremely poor judgement, but it's starting to look like he never actually thought that Trump was going to win. Still nakedly partisan; he clearly wanted to sabotage Clinton's presidency from the start. But it does make his motivations easier to follow.

Yeah, and milk is also really important in Indian diets. To the extent that some of our "breads" are actually made from cultured milk. I've heard Yogurt called the "mother sauce" of Indian cooking.

Aren't you a Marylander too? For shame!
